American Envoys' View

= PARIS, Feb. 4 (By The Associated
fress).-President Wilson presided to-
night over the commission of the So
clety OF nations, which had before it
'hc completed project for constituting
the league. discussing it article bv
article, While there is no authorita-
i've information concerning the de-
tails of the project, the distribution of
printed drafts among the members has
disclosed the main features, and these
can be summarized as follows:
Two main features have been nre-
scnted, which the members of the com
mission regard as cmbodying the
American views, though both plans are
composite, containing the best features
from various sources, American, Brit
ish, French and Italian.
Both plans are being considered to-
gether. in its original form the first
plan is generally considered more dem
ocratic, and therefore more acceptab]e
to the small powers, whereas the re-
vlsed plan is. not as acceptable to the
small powers, as it eliminates them
from the executive branch of the pro
posed organization and is long step
toward the creation of an international
supreme court, with a fundamental
basis of codiied international law.
Outline of League Plans
Ths first plan has three main feat
ures!
First--A legislative branch, on
which the great and small nations
were equally represented, each as a
unit.
Second-An executive branch, con-
sisting of two members from each of
the great power rs-the United States,
Great Britain, France, Italy and Ja-
pan-and nine members chosen from
the small powers. This gave the ex-
ecutive body total membership Of
nineteen, of whom ten represent the
great powers and nine represent the
small powers.

tional issues. In case of a dispute

MAKE ANSWER
TO RAILROAD MEN
Director Hines Meets With Heads Of
Brotherhoods Tomorrow to
Discuss General
Conditions.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Rail
IDirector Hines today summoned
heads of the four great railroad
brotherhoods to meet nm tomorrow
to discuss general conditions.
In the morning heads Of all the
brotherhoods will confer with Hines.
In the afternoon he will give his
answer to two Of the brotherhood
chiefs on demands rpr immediate
wage increases.
The answer will be an offer OF
general wage increase of not more
than three percent, it Is understood.
The demand Of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen was an increase
averaging forty percent and that OF
the Order of Railway Conductors for
thirty-five percent.
Anticipating that Hines offer will
fall short OF their demands, leaders
OF the two brotherhoods are preparing
for referendum strike vote.
The four big brotherhoods whose
officials will meet Hines tomorrow
although not affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, are acting
in cooperation with ten other rail
road unions which are connected with
the federation. OF these ten the chief
organization is the shipments includ-
ing 100000 workers, who took strike
vote in August, but postponed a
walkout at the request of President
Wilson in order to give the govern
ment opportunity to reduce the cost
OF living.
An adverse answer by Hines to de-
mands of the trainmen and conductors
now would bring keen anxiety to the
other railroad unions, according to
union officials.
In such a situation it is considered
likely that the fourteen organizations
would join and present an ultimatun
to Hines. The railroad workers are
determined, their officials say, to gai,
wage increases before January / when
the roads go back to private manage
ment
