Atlantic City, n. j., July, lO.-The

Esquire J. II. Conncl in command of
the turnout as whole.
Philadelphia displayed two floats. one
of which. depicting the Peace Con-
ference, was rhcprcd uproariously. 1t
was conceded by many to be the fea-
ture of the whole procession. Four
figures upon the float were promptly
identified as the big Four" Wilson,

men in the show. He nearly ruined

The reservations suggested have GOV
cred a wide field, however, and both
sides admit that the score of senator's
who have not taken a decided stand will
give varying support to the various pro-
pOsals. Some who are warm adherents
to the general league plan may vote
for interpretive reservations that will
clarity the Senate's position, though
they oppose any declaration which
would prevent the United States from
sharing fully In the league.

In the wage Scale OF railroad shop

liar TO members of the four brother

tional agreement covering their wages
and working conditions, which it was
learned today has been signed by Di-

OF cents an hour and were ordered
by President Wilson to put the shop
men on an equal footing with other
employees in the matter OF an eight
hour day, at the same time he refused
any general wage increase as re-
quested.
The agreement, effective October 90.
until the government relinquishes con-
troll Of the roads, is the first uniform
contract covering all railroad shop en-
ployees. Heretofore each road has
had its individual agreement with the
unions varying in important particu-
