ject Strongly to Freedom
Of Employment Feature.

PARIS, Feb. 22.-The Supreme Council
reviewed to-day the methods OF work
employed by the commissions which have
been entrusted with investigating the
different territorial. economic, financial
and judicial problems In order to decide
on the proper steps which should be
taken to accelerate as much as possible
tho work OF the Peace Conference.
Serious friction is believed to be de-
veloping in tho special labor commission
between the advocates OF the British and
American labor plans. respectively.
especially In regard to the question OF
the freedom Of labor to seek employment
In any country. Such freedom 10 directly
opposed by the American labor repre-
sentatives as conflicting with the PROPOSE
ton TO restrict tho immigration of
foreign labor into America.
The American Labor Commissioner re
were In consultation with the American
delegates to the Peace Conference to-day
seeking advice and instructions.
Plans for the restoration Of peace be-
tween Rumana and Hungary by the es-
adjustment of a neutral zone IN Tran
~ wanna were presented 10 the supreme
Council yesterday.
This suggestion was made BY Andre
Tardiev. representing the Conference
Committee on Rumantan Affairs. lie
suggested that the fighting between the
Rumanians and Hungari ans proba bly,
best could be checked In this manner. He
thought that the neutral zone should be
ten kilometres wide, in the mountains
separating the two naions.
Aroher subject touched upon by the
council was the demand OF Albania for
the extension of its territory by the an,
nexation ot,portlons Of Greece and Ser
bia. The Albanian contentious were
presented by Turkhan Pashs, Prime
Minister OF Albania.
Denmsrk's demand for a portion OF
SchlSswis-H oIstein was presented yester-
day 10 the Supreme Council by ". A..
Bernhoft. the Danish Minister In Paris
He told the Council that the northern
half OF Schleswig-Hoistein rightfully be-
longed on historical and national grounds
to Denmark. but that Denmark was
willing 10 have a plebescItc determine It's
disposition.
While the Danish Minister did not
make rat demand for the southern
half OF Schleswig- Hoistein, including the
Kiel Canal. he said that IN Justice to the
population OF this district he believed Il
should have the right to determine its
future by a popular vote.
The whole question was referred 10 a

day after breakfast, and In time TO get
into the city about noon.
The President has not prepared his
Boston speech In advance, and II seems
assured that he will speak very briefly.
President Wilson'S plans for his re-
ception In Boston virtually have been
completed. The plans call for a speech
by him in the afternoon and possibly
reception by the Massachusetts Leg
islature, and his departure Immediately
thereafter for Washington.
To-day was given over aboard ship
to the celebration OF washington's
Birthday. At noon Presidential salute
of twenty-one gins was nred In honor
OF the hrst President. for which the
President and all his party came on deck.
They remained TO witness the sailors
sports. OF which there were many.
The Presidents speech may not be so
comprehensive as generally had been
expected. II seems probable that he will
reserve his full statement on the subject
OF the League OF Nations and questions
concerning the Peace Conference for the
occasion when he will discuss these mat
ters with members OF the Congress, and
that he will conhne himself In Boston
to a speech appropriate TO the welcom-
ing ceremonies.
The cruiser North Carolina, which Is
escorting the George Washington, is re-
laying wireless official business Thus
the President will be fully informed and
prepared to act on several important
questions on reaching Washington. He
hopes 10 be able to clear away all the
most pressing business speedily and be
ready TO take ship for Europe again On
March s.

The scene was In room 351 OF the

Paris hotels. 1t had been turned into a

translators, secretaries and experts.
In this room the commission met ten
TINES in eleven days, The hours We're
Irregular, as most OF the commissioners
we're obliged frequently TO interrupt the
special work to attend meetings OF other
commissions. No time was rot for the
sessions or for the termination of the
days work. Time was a secondary con-
alteration and nobody looked at the
Slook.
President Wilson presided at all the
meetings except one. When some OF the
members looked far into the future he
brought them back to the thing in hand
with the remark;
Gentlemen, I have no doubt that
the next generation will be made up OF
men as intelligent as you or I, and
think we can trust the league TO man
age its own affairs.
The first meeting. on February I was

words and presented draft OF the plan

generally understood that the imme-

aggravate the situation.

LONDON, FEB. %. - Many pressins
questions demand the attention OF Pre-
nisr Lloyd George before he returns to
Taris next Thursday. but he has been
greatly relieved by tho excellent recep-
ton Of his statement to the miners, who
, threatened to strike on March is.
BY unceasing labor the Prime Minister
gradually Ia rounding up the divergent
I elements, partly through the force OF ms
sensible arguments, In which he pointed
out that the labor organizations in be-
ginning the strikes are not opposing the
employers directly. as In strikes before
the war. but are coming face 10 race
with the Government. It would not mean
an issue between capital and labor but
q direct demonstration In force against
! authority.
While the Premier did not use any
threats IN his frank talk TO the miners,
no made It plain that the people of the
country hardly could sympathize with
strikes which at this time would entail
! starvation and unbearable suffering
| through cold and the lack Of transpor-
Ia ton, and without this sympathy of the
public a strike hardly could be sue
cessful.
Points ont = Complication.
Should the people back the strikers. he
pointed out. then the present Government
would fail and would have to return to
the people for reelection.
The Premier asks only two weeks ex'
tension for q conference on the miners
demands for 80 per cent. increase In
wages and a six hour day. leaving the
larger questions Of naturalization for a
later date. The miners may not &C
cept these proposals, preferrinS to plunge
the whole community into an unprece-
6ented industrial and social disaster.
Sentiment among the men who have
been working the coal mines has reached
| tho point where they are not inclined 10
consider the effects of the strike upon
the public. They feel that they are at
| the limit OF oppression and are growing
heartily tired OF the continued procraS-
tination by the Government. Recent hall
loting at the mines shows an overwhelm-
ing majority In favor OF the strike.
It is now up 10 the level headed lead
ers TO make the miners see the Justice OF
Premier Lloyd Georges assertion. The
chief appeal OF the Prime Minister e
speech rests upon the emphasis of the
magnitude Of the blow which the COM
munity would suffer IL the miners should
strike
IIouseholders for some months past
have suffered from shortage OF coal
and this easily may develop into condl-
, tons that would entail great loss OF life
and widespread hardship, For this
reason the Premier based his appeal on
humane grounds.
