COMPROMISE AT WE|MAR MAY END
GREAT GERMAN STRIKE TODAY

"The present unrest, terror and
crime are diseases of the social body
which is unable to resist because 1t
has become weakened through priva-
ton and loss of blood" says the North
German Gazette. "The German peo-
+ pie can recuperate only when they
receive raw products that will pedmit
them to work, and food in order that
they may live.
Our enemies are denying us both
Their attitude is the real cause of
the present crisis and the prevalent
criminal activity. In view of these
events, they should realize it is con
trary to the international law of hui
manity to permit a fallen foe to lie
helpless on the ground. They should
not overlook the fact that the sue
cessive weakening of Germany also
reduces its resisting powers against
Bolshevism and that it is dangerous
thing to be neighbor to a house in
which the plague is raging"

Union Leaders Consider
Rail Directors Offer
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, March Union leaders
today formally considered the over
lures made yesterday by the railroad
administration to end the strike of
their employees among the harbor ma
rine workers. While it was said the
proposed new wage and hour schedule
was not altogether satisfactory to the
strikers, it was accepted as the basis
for continuing the negotiations.
The administrations proposal, 1t was
said, provides for increases up to 15
per cent and extends the eight-hour
day to certain classes Of workers.
1t was intimated by union officials that
counter proposals would be submitted
during the day through the medium OF
James l.. Hughes, mediator of the
federal department of labor, who has
been active in arranging the confer
ences.
The employees of the railroad admin
istration approximate forty per cent
of the sixteen thousand workers on
strike and the negotiations SO far do
not affect the men employed by pri-
vate owners. The private boat own
ers have taken no action, pending the
outcome of rnoc ions with the rail-
road administration. .a..,NyLh
