Paris, Feb. 1O.-The situation in the
conference has reached a point where
some plenipotentiaries believe drastic
action is necessary to relieve it.
am able to say the American and,
believe the British, delegations in
tend to propose that the conference be
moved out of France on account of in
tensive propaganda here which is con-
strued as designed to delay the making
of peace and to obstruct generally the
efforts to obtain settlement that will
restore normal conditions through the
world The dissatisfaction is such that
concealment Us no longer considered
wise. The acute cause of the decision
on the part of the American delegation,
which, of course, means President Will
son, is supposed to be the Clemenceau
interview with the Associated Press.
The text of this interview, published
in the Paris newspapers today, in ad-
d,tion to the tone of the French press,
has impressed the American delegation
with the idea that concerted cam
paign is in progress to hamper action
by the peace conference that will bring
the war officially to an end.
For this reason, it is held, the confer
ence cannot proceed in manner free
from influences of this character while
the sessions take place in France, un-
less there is radical change in the
methods being pursued.
No other place has been suggested 50
far as ] know for the meeting of the
conference. Whether the proposal to
move the place of the meeting has been
made formally / am not informed, but
it would not be surprising if it were
brought to the attention of the supreme
council before this dispatch reaches
America.
Out of the discussions now in prog
ress is likely to arise the arrangement

MAY MOVE PEACE COUNCIL TO NEUTRAL SOIL

it. Finally, Germany must be shown
that she can no longer deceive us and
that it is our firm intention to make
peace, also, to the finish
Premier Clemenceau has never been
more lucid or stronger than in these
declarations, which will have consid-
cradle effect
The question of moving the peace
conference from Paris to neutral
country may be considered by the CON
ference if what is characterized as the
obstructive policy of the French press
and certain French officials continues,
it developed today.
Representatives of various other
powers taking part in the peace confer
ence, it is declared, believe that the
work of the body is being greatly ham
pered through unfriendly criticism by
the French. press of various leaders in
the conference
Just what is meant in the foregoing
dispatch by the Constructive policy of
the French press and certain French
offlclals' Is not clear, probably for the
reason that there has been great diff.
Guilty in obtaining prompt and full re-
ports of developments in Paris in con-
nection with the peace conference.
During the war there was seldom any
difficulty, despite the serious handicap
of the censorship, in getting through
news matter from France in reasonable
time and in plentiful volume, largely
over the direct French cable line.
Since the delegates began assembling
for the peace conference, however, and
especially since the real work of the
conference started, the communication
with France has been of the most un-
certain sort. Virtually no news has
been received over the French cable
line, the best and quickest means Of
communication, since the conference
began. All the cable and wireless SER
vices,-have been greatly congested, but
the chief difficulty has been that al
though the French cable was nom.naIly
in service there has been complete in
ability to transmit news matter over it,
and that all the cable communication
for weeks past has been by roundabout
routes.
The following official communication
was issued this evening:
''The seventh meeting of the com
mission of the league of nations was
held this morning at 10:3O O'Clock at
the Hotel Crillon.
"At this meeting the commission
finished the first reading of the draft
under discussion. In addition the draft
ing commission, to whom the commits
sion had entrusted the revision of GER
tain articles of the draft, made its
report.
at is confidently expected that the
commission will be able to proceed
with the second reading of the draft

Open Shop Conditions Prevail
in Seattle After Strike-..
City is Again Normal
METAL WORKERS OUT

Seattle, Feb. 11.-Seattle's general
strike of 10000 workers, the first Of
its kind and scope in America, ended
officially" at noon today, though
many of the workers had returned 10
work earlier. At least two unions face
unfavorable conditions as its result.
The International Longshoremen un-
ion members here lost CLOSED shop
agreement, effective only two months
ago after long efforts, and union tailors
when they returned to shops were told
they must wait few days before do
ing any work, as none had been pre-
pared for them.
The longshoremen, when they report
ed today, found non-union men en-
ployed as readily as union men and
both classes worked together on the
docks today. Employers said the "open
shop policy would be continued all
along Seattle's water front.
The tailors, when they joined the
general strike, voted not to return to
work until one large open shop was
unionized. Today they rescinded this
vote, but no work was forthcoming. 1t
was said many employers might at
tempt to operate on open shop basis.
Seattle this afternoon again was

The $4,000 members of the Metal
Trades Council, for whose benefit the
general strike was called, remained out,
although the council was to meet and it
was said discuss a proposal not to re-
turn to work until April /, when the
Macy wage scale goes out of existence
and the metal workers can bargain di.

ences.
San Francisco, Feb ll.-Belief that
the strike situation in the northwest

which will give the armistiee terms the
status of preliminary peace treaty
with Germany. The armistice expires
on the 18th inst. The confident belief
is expressed that if certain proposals
are accepted by the supreme war coun-
ell, the existing difficulties between the
allies can be Strengthened out. One
difficulty arises over the proposals for
neutralizing both sides of the Rhine and
giSing Essen over t. the allies con-
troll. There Ia some objection to this
on the ground that the subjects includ-
ed in the first armistice cannot be in
cluded in the new arrangements. The
Americans do not oppose reducing the
German army to a fixed figure which
is under discussion in the war council
originating with other measures to
make Germany impotent in military
way, but they contend the terms in this
connection should be definite. The de-
velopments late today may allay the
American indignation over the French
press propaganda and cause the aban-
donment of the proposal to hold the
SO, lions outside France.

Paris, Feb. 10.-Commenting upon
the interview given by Premier Glenn

"With its vigorous and hardy pes
simism, it is an act of ardent patriot
ism. 1t is just the plain language :
which it is fitting to talk to France
and her allies at the present moment.
France should be made to recall that
her enemy wished for fifty years 10

You ask me for plain and frank statement of the position of Japan. Well, I am tempted to ask you ques ton in reply.
 DO you think it possible for me to say anything that will not be wilfully distorted and misinterpreted by those who have so long and so consistently sought to closing the efforts of my country to ascribe to her motives she has never had and to malign her at every turn? Let us see.
 As to the United States, Japan has very sincere. abiding and affection ate regard. We owe to her our place in the world, that is to say, the civil ized world. Perhaps l should not alto Gether agree to that phrase, because, you know, and everyone should know, that Japan has enjoyed a civilization all her own for many ages. It was civilization born of the highest sense of honor, of the sense which the west could not understand nor appre- ciate, because we had lived apart IS g hermit nation.
 "When through the expedition of Commodore Perry and the efforts of Townsend Harris (first American con- sul general to Japan) we joined, if I may say so, the league of nations of the world, we took a new amp1tion, which was to interpret the civilization of the western nations which we had studied and recognized as better, although not all were more honorable, than our own. You will note here that America was the first country to agree to make a treaty with us abolishing extra terri toriality. You must remember that we did not ask to join this first reague of nations. We were forced to do so. Perry came to lis with naval power and forces to compel us to open Japan to intercourse with the western world.
 GREATLY BENEFITED
 We yielded, and, l am glad, as is all Japan, that we did yield, because it has been of great benefit to our coun- try.
 And now we arc asked n second
 time to join league of nations.

 are ready. We want to consider

By Associated Press

New Orleans, April 2.-Southern pine lumber manufacturers, at mass meet ing here today, declined a proposal of the industrial board of the United States department of commerce that they enter into joint price agreement as means for stablizing market conditions. Such action, it was decalred. would be . contrary to the best intrests of the public and of the industry. from both a legal and economic point of view, viola tive of state and federal antitrust statutes and likely to subject those ln- voved to prosecution.'

 The following resolutions were adopted and forwarded to the industrial board:
 "There are more than 40000 units of lumber production in the industry, l7,9o of which are engaged in the production i of southern pine, each of which units makes its own price. It would be im- possible to get all to agree, and indi- viduals who did not agree could assert their rights to recover damages under the antitrust statutes.
 'There are more than 5000 dealers of lumber carrying stocks which they mer- chandise to the public, who have pur- chased their lumber at the present price and who would suffer loss thereby, and who could assert their rights to recover under the antitrust statutes" The industrial board was further ad- vised that "the producers average price of southern pine lumber is equal to or less than the cost of a large percentage of production, and that any reduction thereof would have to be met with a reduction in cost, either through a de crease in the wage scale or in some manner which we know not how
