Embargo on Rubber Is No1v
Lifted by Great Britain
Conditions Imposed Much More Drastic Than Those Out
lined When Similar Action Was Taken on Wool
Guarantees and Bonds Being Specified


WAsHtNGroS. Jan. s.--Further indica-
ton OF the manner In which the delicate
situation over trade questions between
the United States and Great Britain Is
rapidly working itself out developed to-
night by the announcement by the Brit
ish Ambassador Of the virtual lifting Of
the British embargo on rubber
only yesterday II was announced that
the British embargo on the expectation
Of wool, hides and. skins had been lifted
for the benefit OF American importers
under certain restrictions. These em-
bargoes have been one OF the chief
causes OF the irritation manifested here
against the. British practices and have
also caused real suffering to the great
American industries dependent upon inn
portatlon of these products.
The relaxation OF the restrictive laws
put into effect by the British early In
the war has been also accompanied by
concessions with regard to other trade
questions, partlclarly to commerce with
neutral countries contiguous to Germany
and Austria. These developments 30 ia
Vorahle to American interests are re-
aarded as partly due to British appreci-
alton OF the fact that much III feeling
was being aroused here and partly 10
the fact that Tor several months tne
most earnest diplomatic discussions have
been proceeding In an effort to arrive az
lust such arrangements as are now rap
idly developing.
Restrictions surrounding the lifting OF
the rubber embargo are much more
drastic than those with regard to wool,
the latter being merely that the Wool
should lie shipped from Australia In Brit
ish bottoms and that II should not be ex-
ported to enemy. countries.
Following Ia bhe announcement made
by the British Embassy Tonight:
Arrangements have been practically
completed whereby dealers and manu-
facturers In the United states can Obtain
supplies Of rubber from the British EN-
pire. ... 1924.

The War Department. the Secretary
says. intends TO rely on the coast artillery
OF the militia OF the coast States for 30
per cent. Of the forces to man the guns

asked for in the pending bin Is only such
as Is necessary TO make up the deficiency
with this allowance. The bill asks there
fore for 6l2 officers and 900 men.

Every hello girl in the city will be in
the union. They will strike. and they
will tie UP all telephones in Chicago
as completely as the street car men
tied up the surface and elevated rail-
way lines three weeks ago.
This is the view of Agnes Nestor,
president WOmen's Trade Union
league She says organizers for the
league have not given up by a long
ways their hope Of breaking in among
the employees of the Bell phone trust
and getting a battling union going.
''In the advertising spread so lib
orally in Chicago newspapers by the
phone trust Chicago Telephone Co.
the company has never explained
why it operates a secret system for
keeping all unions down" said Miss
Nestor.
mot only in Chicago but all over
the country the Bell phone trust is
an enemy Of organized labor. In
Rochester, N. Y, a few days ago the
Rochester Home Telephone Co., a
Bell phone branch, discharged ten
young women operators for taking
part in the organization of a union.
A sympathetic strike was called by
the local union of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
and 10 WOrkmen went on strike in
protest against the company's policy
of discharging any girl who says she
is for a union.
Street railway companies here
used to do the same thing with the
men who tried to organize. Every
motorman or conductor who said he
wanted union was discharged.
There were spoilers and spies of all
kinds who mixed with the men and
reported agitators. There were agi-
.ators, however, who kept quietly at
t until they found enough ready to
strike. The struck, got their union
recognized and now get wages from
