BREACH W|DENS IN LABOR BOARD HINES ROW
Secretary Glass Backs R. Director While Redfed Supports
Chairman Peek; Wilson May Refuse to Play Role in
squabble; Expect Word From Him Today.

Washington, April Awhile
White House officials today wait
ed direct word from President
Wilson, the railroad administra-
n-industrial board controversy
developed into one of the most
serious er-department breaches
of the present administration.
Secretary Glass is backing Di-
rector General Hines unqualfi-
edly. Secretary Redfield, father
of the board, is just as vigor-
ously supporting Chairman George
N. Peek.
Reports of conversations be-
tween the various parties con-
cerned tell of bitter words. with
many argos and counter
charges.
WILSON MAY FIGHT SHY
Glass and Hines claim several
other high officials support that
position, while Redfield points to
the fact that President approved
the plan of the industrial board,
as originally drafted.
Indications at the White House
are that the president, far re-
moved from the dispute, may re-
fuse to be drawn into it. A short
time ago Hines is understood to
have put the matter up to the
president, who is said to have
made no direct recommends
tions. Some indication of the
presidential attitude is expected
today.
Several officials believe the
breach has become so serious that
if the board is to continue its
price reduction work radical
changes must be made in its pol
icy. IT is also probable that, in
this event, the board would be re-
organized. ''

Paris, April 4.-Premier Le-
mines informal "peace" proposal
to the allies is virtually an ut-
matum, It was learned from an
authoritative source today.
The Russian Bolshevik leader is
known to have suggested a time
limit for acceptance of his offer,
beyond which he would not un-
dertake to abstain from consider
alton of Chancellor Scheidemanns
proposal, as conveyed to Foreign
Minister Trotzky. The time limit
is understood to be a matter of
only few weeks.
CThe German government was re-
ported unofficially recently to have
sent Karl kautsky to Russia for the
purpose of studying the situation
there and possibly effecting an alli-
ance between Germany and RUSSIA
TECHNICALLY CORRECT
The recent statement by Andrew
Bonar Law, spokesman for the British
government. denying the allies have
received formal peace offer from
Russia is technically correct The fact
remains, however, that the peace con-
ference has q definite statement of
Russia's position bearing Lenine's
signature. This is, in effect, a con-
crete declaration of terms OF peace to
which the Russian Soviet government
would be willing to listen-and, as
such, may be considered as an actual
offer on Lenine's part.
William Bullitt, official agent for
the American delegates, who brought
the document from Russia to Paris,
obviously is not qualified to negotiate
with the allies for the Bolsheviki.
is GIVEN SYMPATHY
Tine proposal, however, is in the
allies hands, for them to take or
leave, as they see fit.
Further, it is possible to assert
that it has not been read with en-
tire lack Of sympathy.
There is reason to believe that the
secrecy with whom not only Lenine's
statement, but the reports of Bullitt
and Lincoln Steffens, unofficial OBJ
servers, are guarded, is due to a de-
sire to keep attention focused on peac.
with Germany, thus avoiding discus
sions with possible acrimonious debate
regarding Russia, which might delay
the German peace program.

Welcoming Committee at the Waldorf
It became known at Division Head
quarters at Camp Mills last Sunday that
a large number VI officers did not near
10 accept the invitation to to-nights
banquet. Many felt that to- night after
the ~aade. was the one night when
they would like TO BE- at home. OF at
least with companions OF their own
choosing. Others were outspoken In dis
esteem Of any committee for homecom-
ing heroes which had William Randolph
Hearst for chairman.
The objections were met by an order
from the DlvisAon AdJutant. Col Gerow
directing that company commanders be
informed that they would be held re-
sponsible for the attendance Of at least
four ofi1cers from each company at the
banquet.
The officers would not discuss the en-
forced hospitality with outsiders. But
outsiders in their immediate vicinity
could not we'll help knowing that they
were discussing the matter with empha-
sis and freedom among themselves.
'I received an order to detail four Of
fcers," said one Captain. Il did. de-
tailed two men who were willing to go
and two more who couldn't possibly be
there and would have every excuse for
not having compiled with the detail.
