 IS EXPECTED THIS WEEK
Baron Erich Zwiedinek Conferred With
 Secretary lansing.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Austria-H Hun gary's reply to the American note on the sinking of the Italian steamship Ancona is looked for by state depart ment officials by the end of this week. This expectation was expressed today after Baron rich ZweTdinek. charge of the AustrO-Hungarian embassy, had conferred with Secretary Lansing re- garding the note and attempted, it was understood, to gain formally for the in formation of his government an under standing of what would satisfy the United States.
 The charge, it was said, did not in dicate what the auction of Austria Hungary might be explaining that he had not heard from the foreign office upon the subject.
 Much attention has been attracted in diplomatic and official circles by that portion of the note which referred to the acquiescence of Germany in the attitude of the United States toward the use of submarines in attacking vessels Of commerce. This reference served to accelerate speculation as to what effect a satisfactory or an unsat- isfactory answer to the note would have upon the negotiations between the United States and Germany re- garding the lives lost on the Lusi- tania.
 Conversations between Secretary Lansing and Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador, looking to a set clement of the Lusitania controversy have been in progress for many weeks and 1t is stated authoritatively that the views of the United States and Germany are still so widely different that faint hope is seen of an early agreement. The ambassador has nc appointment to confer further witt Mir. Lansing in the immediate future

Through the efforts of an arbitration committee composed of Councilman Maurice W. Flynn, Rev. Samuel M. Cathcart and Councilman William M. Culley, the strike which has been on for the past three weeks at the George c. Moore Elastic Fabric company has been settled to the satisfaction of all concerned. The committee met with the strikers and Organizer Walker, of the United Textile union, and the whole matter was thoroughly dis cussed. The matter of wages did not enter into the controversy, which seemed to be in the main the recogni- tion of the union and the making a strictly union standard at the Moore plant. There is no general union of Workmen in this class of work, and the newly organized local union is said to be the only one of its kind, and there fore could not be consistently recog- nized by the Moore company as it might be prejudicial to the business and to the advantage of competitors. The company submitted the follow ing recommendations which were adopted:
 The number of hours constituting a weeks work, whether 54 or 56, to be submitted to vote of all the workers In the mill, except the women and girls, majority vote to decide.
 Non-interference in future by those that have organized with those that have not been and are not so or ganized
 The company affirms the right to engage and discharge any person when in their judgment it is for the best Interests of all concerned to do so
 That the company will engage those that are out as fast as arrange ments can be made for them-the time not to be more than one week or ten days.
 The names and addresses of all those desiring to return to work to be given to this committee, or left at the office of the company at the earliest possible time.
 Withdraw advertisements in all papers out of town to the effect that strike is now on.
 + will be seen that the hours of la Dor is governed by the majority vota of male employers, that union and non-union men will work together in harmony, that the company reserves the right to hire and discharge, that the company will take back the strik- CTS, and that advertisements that a strike is on at the Moore plant be withdrawn.

R A I [ TOO LOW FUR
 BANKERS

NEW YORK, Sept. 23-The ap- parently smooth negotiations which were proceeding for the loan of bill lion dollars to England and France by American bankers, have met with a check because of the unwillingness of the bankers here to advance the money unless a greater rate of inter- est than five per cent is attached to the bonds. It is beginning to look doubtful whether over a half billion of the bonds can be sold, as many of the banking houses who at one time show ed an inclination to participate have and the commissioners from the bor- rowing countries have not yet agreed expressed their intention not to do so, that the money would not be used for purchase of war munitions which would prevent the German-American bankers from subscribing to the loan.
