One is that as part of her repara b

PEELED to supply money, labor and ma
.terial for Belgian and French recon-
'structlon work, which is to be done
under allied supervision. This plan
was fought at first as smacking of
slavery, but it has been given a new
dress and will be included in the final
draft. What Germany has destroyed
she is TO rebuild through her own re-
sources, getting credit for the work
thus done on the total of what she
owes.
The second point is a definite agree
ment that she is to pay in kind. In
other words whatever the total that
is assessed against her, it will not
necessarily be paid in cash, but in
product, This will run into billions
in the course of few years.
of even greater significance is ac-
ton taken, though not finally APP
proved, by the council of four in pro-
viding that The Saar mines shall be
transferred outright to French own
ership The sovereignty of the ter
ritory remains German but the mines
are to become French.
This transaction represents value
of about $200, 100000, and while all
four chiefs showed an inclination TO
accept the plan, there are weighty
arguments that are TO be made against
IT. Neither the American nor the
British commissions dealing with eco

charging them with self-seeking and

steps are being taken to bring about
financial pressure which will speedily
cut of the German food supply and
bring the German public to realization
of the fact that German activities in
the Baltic states must cease. Food now
on the way to Germany will not be
stopped. but future suppl es will be hell
up until the German government makes
good its promises to evacuate the troops

London, Sept. 30-(By the ASSocla-
ted Press)-The fourth day of the
railway strike closes with the posi-
ton of the struggle unchanged
Neither side has made any approach
toward the resumption OF negotia-
tons: both are showing an equal de-
termination not to yield.
There has been no extension of the
strike to other industries, but James
Henry Thomas, secretary of the un-
ion. has announced his readiness 10
accept help from other trades unions,
and a manifesto was issued from the
transport federation tonight, which
foreshadows the probable decision to
call strike tomorrow, on the ground
that the government action is an at
tack on the principles Of trade union
ism. which it is imperative the work
ers should protect.
There is evidence of unrest and
irritation among the workers at the
success of the amateurs and volun-
teers working in the large power sta.
tons in London, whereby part Of the

to start operations. and there 10 some

ports from Sc unions comprised in the
federation shown that 100000 men,
bers of the federation are already
affected by the railroad strike. and
that therefore the position is rapidly
becoming untenable.
The executive realizes, the state
ment adds. the impossibility of re-
straining the members from drastic
strike action in support Of the rail-
way men and that they will stop at
nothing in order to defend the long
established principles of trade union
ism and the right to defend usages

We have arranged a meeting of
the unions concerned for tomorrow,
the statement continues. THE ex-
ecutive committee is fully convinced
that the dispute is one into which
the national union of railwaymen
was thrust, and we shall continue to

public: but l would not use them rs
