Under croEs-eNamination by Conrad
H. Syme. Corporation Counsel. Mr.
Sylvan refused to entertain the prOpo-
sition that the increased demands of
the Government placed additional
burdens on the company. He asserted
that with the influx OF some $4,000
persons to the city, the nature of
service from residence telephones had
changed so that many Of them could
be now classed as business Iele-
phones.
To this fact he attributed most of
the trouble of the telephone company

point the witness said that he could

the telephone service had not been

signed by the Bolsheviki as much a.
about a treaty with Belgium. espec-
tally when the tenure OF the Lenine-
Trotzky government has all the as
poets OF an ephemeral reign.
Another Line of Thought.
ThereDNis another line OF thought,
however. which our officials are medf-
tsting over and that is the POSSIBLE
tty that while Lenine and Trotsky
may have agreed in Germany's behalf
to get peace negotiations started, they
could not promise the successful out
come of the same believing that this
only could be accomplished by a grant
OF liberal terms by Berlin.
To impress the Russians with their
sincerity and the certainty OF a guar
antee by the German people of the
terms OF the peace pact, the Reichstag
is being brought into play. This Is
an important step in the direction OF
a democratic peace, but no doubt has
existed here for several months that
Germany was ready to have her peace
terms sanctioned bN the Reichstag.
Only. IL has been remarked by Of

tool of the Kaiser until the chancellor
Is made responsible to the represents
tiyes OF the people instead OF to the
whims Of the HohenZollern dynasty
and an autocracy that can at any
time plunge the rest OF the world into
war.
Policy Must BE Moulded.
Out Of the confusing lines of
thought, the apprehensions and fears
of a German agreement with Rus
sia- a change on the western front
and the grave consequences Of a COM
pletely detached Russia, the entents
must mould a policy. Expediency, II
not logic. demands expressions OF
friendliness as well as sympathy for
the BolsheEiki irrespective or their
leadership for the creed pronounced
by the Russian delegates in answer
20 the Germans conforms to the pFin-
ciples OF democracy for which the
entente Is fighting.
Many mistakes have been made in
the Russian situation but
the outlook today is that the pendulun
which already has begun to swing to-
ward the allies may yet be brought
decisiyely to the side OF the United
States and her co-beIIigsrents. A gem
eral peace will come much sooner with
the aid rather than without the aid OF
Russia.

BROTHERHOOD MEN
SETTLEPAY RAISE

Leaders of the four big railroad
brotherhoods today held a conference
with Director General McAdoo, at
which the question OF increased wages
for all classes OF railroad labor was
fully discussed. A tentative agree
ment was reached to grant all rail
road workers Increased wages on a
sliding scale. The low-paid men are
TO receive the highest percentage OF
increase while the higher paid men,
such as engineers and conductors, will
receive a lesser percentage. Director
McAdoo was especially anxious that
the unorganized railroad workers who
are now paid the lowest wages. re-
ceive increased pay.
What is probably more important.
the labor leaders put themselves In
the hands OF Director McAdoo and
practically agreed to abide by his de-
cislons.
No More Strikes.
This is interpreted to mean that the
era OF big railroad strikes is passed.
Those present at the conference
were W.. o. carter, representing the
fremen; W. H. Lee. trainmen; A. B.
Garretson, conductors, and H. E.
Wills, engineers.
Mr.. McAdoo is determined that there
shall be no interruption to railroad
traffic as a-result of labor unrest. To
that end he will handle the wage sit
uation with view to keeping the men
at work, but there will be no large
wage Increases for any one class to
the exclusion OF others. Union organ
iEation will be OF little benefit to any
one branch for Mr.. McAdoo intends
to investigate the conditions of all
classes OF workers.
There will be a campaign for new
railroad workers under Mr.. McAdoo's
direction.
The director generals office Is being
flooded with letter and telegraphic
requests for jobs. At least twenty i'm
pOrtant business men OF the country
have volunteered to work for the
administration for nothing.
