TrolIeymen are ready to jump on

are now several busses operating be-

settlement IS
REGARDED NEAR
Railroad Company Gives in on
Mems Principal Demand
That of Recognition
BU Associated Press.


NEWARK, March 17-Prior to a
conference between the Public Ser
vice Railway Company and its $500
employees, who have been on strike
throughout northern New Jersey, ii

board that the mems chief demand

pany's line in northern New Jersey is
expected to end late today and by
tomorrow morning. normal schedule

the war labor board. The terms will
be made public later today, following
a mass meeting here this morning of
strikers.
Meetings also will be held in Jersey
city, Edgewater, West Hoboken, Plain
field, Paterson, Elizabeth and New
Brunswick, and ballot on whether to
accept the terms of settlement agreed
upon by the war labor board and the
contesting parties. No passenger cars
operated yesterday on any of the lines
involved.
The company today restored to the
men their privilege Of placing union
notices on the company's billboards,
and their action was interpreted by
tHe t6 as lOISSHduO Inc
winning of their principle demand. At
the court house here, scores of deputy
sheriffs had assembled this morning
prepared TO protect non ST.. -
crews but before the conference be-
gan assurances were receivd at the
court house that their services would
not be needed.
The articles of agreement approved
by the company and submitted to the
car men in a referendum which was
to be completed at p. M. today pro-.
vided that the company treat with
any authorized committee of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees. at
the same time reserving the right to
deal with any other committees; that
the company's cooperative league asd
collective bargaining plan, disap-
proved by the men, be Withdrawn.
and that all other points of dispute
be submitted to the war labor board.
Union headquarters announced that
the joint conference board would
meet at o'clock tonight TO canvass
the vote on the agreement. III ii was
favorable, which the leaders general
ly predicted, it was said the strike
would be called off and the men
would return to work at once.

Ieap,re Part of Treaty.

PARIS. March 17:-The League of
Nations will be a part of the peace
treaty, it is conceded today, despite
the statements of Andre Tardfeu and
Stephen Pichon, French Minister Of
Foreign Affairs.
The determination of President
Wilson that there shall be no prelim-
mary treaty that does not include the
league will carry his program
through.
Many believe the French insistence
that a preliminary peace be signed
and the league left for later consider
alton. perhaps to be Incorporated in
the final treaty, has its inspiration
among the enemies of Wilson at
home.
Tardieu's statement passed without
any objection. but that OF Pichon,
given voluntarily 10 the American
yesterday, at once
challenged Mr.. Wilson's attention.

Germans Would Refuse
If Treaty Goes Beyond
Presidents ID Points
Presidents Plan for League of
Nations in Peace Treaty
Gains in Favor

COPENHAGEN March 17.-If the
Allies loaded the peace treaty with
conditions going beyond President
Wilson's fourteen points the German
National Assembly would have TO re-
fuse its assent TO the treaty, Matthias
Erzberger, head of the German armis-
tice commission declared in an ad-
dress at a Berlin meeting in discussing
the subject OF league OF nations. ac-
cording to a dispatch from the Ger
man capitol today. The matter then
would be left to a referendum of the
German nations he said.
Herr Erzberger disclaimed any OBJ
legation upon Germany to give COM
pensation for acts she committed after
her first peace offer in December 1916
1.-THE only means of calling a halt
abandonment of the mailed fist policy
of the allies"
"The German people," he said.
had almost unlimited confidence in
President Wilson and he hoped that
the league of nations covenant as pro-
mulgated on February IA, would not
be finally adopted as, he declared II
was a compromise of the ideals of
President Wilson with the imperialis-
tic aspirations of some of the allies.
President Wilson he insisted was un-
der obligations to advocate the imme-
diate admission of Germany into the
league.
HE said Germany was prepared to
accept the vote of Alsace Lorraine
as to its future. but he referred to the
reported aspirations of France re-
specting the Rhine lanad and to Po-
lands claims to Danzig as crimes
adding:
What is German will remain Ger
man."
AS far as the demands for oompen-
sation are concerned, he declared
Germany would reject any demands
that applied to acts committed after
December, 1916, when Germany made
her first peace offer. There was no
normal obligation upon Germany re-
garding compensation aside from the
case of Belgium. the speaker argued.
In that case Germany would act
honestly he said.
