Berlin, November 2s.-Thc concilia-
tory tone of the speeches of British
Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey
and Premier Asquith, and their ex-
pressed desire for improved relations
between Germany and England In the
future, are cordially re-cchoed in gov
crnmcnt circles here. 1t is signin-
cantly added. however, that the British
government soon Will have an oppor-
tunity to demonstrate the sincerity OF
the disclaimer Of its ministers OF the
theory that one of the aims OF British
policy Is to stand in the way Of Ger
man expansion and to block its every
project.
No indication is given as to the
Held in which this opportunity will
occur but the touchstonc perhaps will
be found in the Bagdad Railway.
In reference to tnat enterprise, 1t is
announced to-day that Emperor Will
liam has asked DIR. Arthur Won Gwin-
ner, managing director OF the Deutsche
Bank. which is financially Interested
IN the project, TO prepare u report and

Britain does not desire to stand in the
light of any other nation seeking its

fest this By the attitude Great Britain
takes toward the completion of the big
railway project in Asiatic Turkey.
The German foreign office does not
wish TO comment in more detail on
yesterdays debate in the House OF
Commons. as 1t is HEARTILY DESTROYS
OF having a clean slate In regard TO
past events. This restraint, however,
cannot be expected TO be observed In
various quarters of the Reichstag
when the subject comes up again next
week.
At the same time II is believed that
ono point in Sir Edward Grey's state
ment must be combated. II England
wished for assurances In regard TO
Germany's intentions at Agadir, she
could have requested them through

1t is contcnded. cannot be assailed for

Investigating Committee Will Look In
TO Claims. Said That Employers
are United in Movement
Against Workmen.

Chicago. Ills, Jan. 21.-A mass of
evidence i'm the form of affldavits has
been placed before the state senate in
vestigating committee purporting to
show that clothing manufacturers
maintain a blacklist against garment
workers whose union affiliations are
regarded as inimical TO the employers.
1t is stated that the makers of ready
made clothing belong to the National
Clothers' association and that the
made to measure tailors are organized
as the American Wholesale Tailors'
association. For the purpose of alleged
blacklist, however, it is alleged the two
associations are bound together by an
actuary whose sanction must be OBJ
tanned before the members Of either
organization will employ a garment
worker.
The actuary keeps a complete record
Of the workmen. particularly with ref
erence to strikes and unionism. 1t is
alleged. The affidavit of one William
