BRISTOL, Jan. 27.—Since noon
the labor conference has been
thrown open to the public and the
announcement Is made by the presi
dent tbit they have overwhelming
ly . decided against cdnscription.

lated by the railway workers that
unless there Is conscription of pro
fit and the treasure of the land now
privately owned and the fortunes
being now accumulated, thoy will
refuse to be conscripted and will
resist It by, every means id their
power. This in a resolution finally
adopted is the postion taken by the
labor unions.
LONDON, Jan. 27.—The evening
papers are non-plussed by the vigor
ous opposition of labor to the con
scription law. It is admitted that It

with ta«t and judgment’’. This may
mean that either the laboritos are
tql be avoided altogether or the
most prominent are to bo marked
out for' Immediate conscription. In
oithor case trouble could not be
