The complete victory of the opposi-
tion seemed almost certain last night,
although final returns were lacking.
It ia said M. Venizelos will leave the
country and he has advised liberals to
abide by the decision of the people.
Demetrois Gounaris. leader of the op-
position, has declared the foreiggn

Washington, Nov. 16.—Questions of
industrial peace and related problems
were discussed today at a conference
between leaders of organized labor and
Herbert Hoover, former general, food
administrator and member of President
Wilson’s second industrial conferenia.
Mr. Hoover, who came to the confer-
ence of the executive council of the Am-
erican Federation of Labor at the re-
quest of President Gompers, said he had
made the trans-continental trip from
San Francisco to discuss the whole in-
dustrial and employement situation.
Mr. Hoover said he had no definite
program to offer but that he expected
to advise and discuss with labor offi-
cials on general conditions.
Priot to Mr. Hoover’s appearance,
Wm. Green, secretary of the United
Mine workers, declared that the council
would not go to any person to discuss
industrial peace. He said Mr. Hoover
had come for a discussion of questions
of technical engineering. When Mr.
Hoover entered the council room he had
with him a sheaf of data to which he ex-
pected to refer This data is expected
to include scientific research on ques-
tions of production.
While Federation of Labor officials
were reticent about the conference, it
was indicated that Mr. Hoover would
be asked to discuss industrial problem*.
Organized labor’s program for the com-
ing year is being framed at the meet-
ings of the executive couijtil. Officials
of the federation, all of which are ex-
ecutives, outlined the labor reconstruc-
tion program as follows:
Repeal of existing laws and opposi-
tion to proposed laws requiring compul-
sory arbitration of industrial dispute*
Opposition to laws restricting the
right of workers to quit work.
Enactment of leghk^ion placing
drastic restrictions on immigration
from all parts of the world, with moat
stringent restrictions on immigrants
from Central and Southeast Europe.
An intensive campaign of American-
ism to counteract the influence of po-
litical theories not in harmony with the
principles of the government of
United States.
Frank Morrison secretary of the Fed-
eration. declared that organized labor
would insist that the present standard
of living conditions be not not reduced
and that wages be maintained at least
on the basis of 1914, with allowance for
decreased purchasing power of the dol-
lar
Mr. Morrison said the American
Federation of Labor did not supnport
any political party in the last elation
and consequently the result of the elec-
tion did not mean that the forces of or-
ganized labor had been routed.
Matthew Wall, a vice president of
the Federation, ( declared that certain
employers were interpreting the result
of tht'election as evidence of intention
to disregard the interests of labor, but
added that he believed the American
people would ultimately be found on
the side of justice in labor matters.
Mr. Hoover would be asked to dis-
cuss means to reduce waste in produc-
tion. This was understood to include
discussions of the question from the la-
bor and management viewpoint.
Labor leaders, while admitting
there are evils in the labor situation
causing some production waste, are

down and robbed Mrs. Alla Cheatham,
cashier of the Texan hotel. Mrs.
Cheatham, a white woman, stepped from

Rochester. Nov. 16.—A large business
house having headquarters in this city
has undertaken to conduct its affairs - , - ,, x . ... .
entirely without the use of money. In- Prone To place the blame to inefficient
stead of currency, it intends to use
checks, trade acceptances arid' travel
checks to make payments of every kind,
’ " c ,__As the . concern
deals with rriore than 800.000 individual
customers the result of the experiment
will be watched with interest.
The company’s reason for , adopting
this method is given as ah effort to
demonstrate a means of ending the epi-
demic of payroll robberies and “to show
that modern business may be conducted
most efficiently without the use of
’small change,’ thus leaving the na-
tion’s money* where it bekrigu, in the
banks, to serve as the basis of credit.”
The announcement says even carfares,
hotel bills and railroad faffifl (gl the
company's ^force of several hundred
salesmen, and' other sundries are to be
paid by checks. All petty items even
to the one-cent postage stamps will be
paid henceforth by check and “no cur-
rency of any amount or denomination is
to be carried in any form as company
property.”
To meet the payroll of its factory, the
company has offered to employes either
a regular pay check or the option of re-
ceiving on pay day a deposit slip show-
ing that his earnings for the week have
been deposited to his credit in a local
bank. This plan is expected by the
house to prove popular with the thrifty
class of employes and to increase the
volume of bank deposits. Executive
employes who have no banking account
have been advised to start one at once
