atWashington Conference
-Tie-Up Dead Issue to
Pittsburgh Manufacturers

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Continua-
ton of the countrywide steel workers
st-tke was voted to-day by the confer
ence here of the twenty four presi-
dents of unions connected with the
steel industry. 1t was said that there
were only two dissenting votes, most
of the union leaders maintaining that
victory was in sight.
Members of the strike committee
commenting on the vote said that the
recent cancellation by the United
States Steel Corporation of huge for
elgn contracts was one of the most
favorable auguries Of the eventual sue
cess of the strike. 1t was also asserted
that while many steel plants had re-
sumed operation, production had been
tar below normal, with the overhead
charges of the company remaining the
same as during normal production.
Upon the adjournment of the con-
ference the committee gave out the
following statement:
After two days sessions of the
national committee of Organized Iron
and Steel Workers by unanimous ac-
ton it was voted to put additional
efforts and resources in men and
money into the steel strike fight This
action followed microscopic examina-
ton of written reports from every steel
center and compilation of figures on
production, which now is not more than
so per cent of the tonnage turned out
prior to the strike"
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 14.-When in
formed tonight of the action taken
at Washington by the twenty-four
union presidents who voted to con-
tlnue the nationwide steel strike,
representatives of Pittsburgh district
steel companies declared that as far
as they were concerned the strike was
dead issue" In only isolated in
to affect production in outlying mills,

PARIS. January 23.-The league
nations plan has been agreed upon b.
the great powers. M
When Lloyd George arises at Sat
urday's plenary session he will speal
NOT on behalf of Great Britain. but q
behalf of the other powers which ham
been associated with Great Britain.
President Wilson and Lloyd Georga
Premiers Clemenceau, Orlando AM
Maxine constitute the steering com
mittee which will make a unanimoui
report in favor of the plan in whicj
all of them have collaborated.
After Lloyd George has spoken Mr
Wilson Will probably speak in sup
port of the committees plan. but tbs
fact that it has the backing of ths
great powers indicates that it will b
the basis of the whole structure Of
the league of nations.
There has been a strong effort from
the beginning to avoid individual
plans, lest national pride have spmt
influence for or against its adoption
AS at present arranged the 0fISA1a
prime minister will have the h0h0l
of presenting formally the league q
nations proposals which his cob
leagues approve
1t is expected there will be som1s
discussion or speeches, possibly 81
the representatives of the smaller ma
tions.
The formal submission of the piAr
to the conference marks distinct prog
resS. ~sasss;
1t means the first milestone and
next that Mr.. Wilson's insistence os
making the league guarantee thu
whole peace treaty has been recog.
nized by his associates. szs1
In this respect it can be said he ,has
won an important point. l-s.+s
has used methods of persuasion ant
and earnestness which appealed Il
his colleagues, though it is all true
that their opposition to the idea 01i
considering the league of nationa'
first was not as deep rooted as waaI
represented in the earlier days herAs
The fact is that when President VIII
son gave valid reason for malk1hf
league guarantees they saw the pOfn1
on much the same spirit as he has
recognized the merits of his colleagues
contentious on other points.
On the whole amity prevails SO fp
as fundamental principles are CON
cerned. 1t is too early to say what fhs
viewpoints will be when the plan =
made public, till anxious days are past

YIELD, NOT FIGHT,
PETROGRAD ORDER
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 23.-Leon Trots-
ky. the Russian minister of war, has
ordered Zimovieff. the bolshevik gov
ernor of Petrograd, to surrender that
city without a fight, if it is attacked
by the northern Russian forces, ac-
cording to an Exchange Telegraph
dispatch from Copenhagen.
tThe foregoing corrects dispatches
received from London last night
which apparently were garbled in
transmission between London and
Copenhagen. The dispatches last night
made it appear that the bolshviki had
been ordered to surrender town
named "Sinovef," which does not ap-
pear on available maps, the name
having been confused with Zinovieff.
the commander of Petrograd.)
In northern Russia the dispatch
adqs, the bolshevik forces have been
defeated and a large part of them
have surrendered. In addition great
numbers of peasants are reported to
he in revolt i'll various parts of boil
shevik Russia.
Zinovieff is close associate of Pre-
niier Lenin. He has been in command
in Petrograd most of the time since
the bolshevik capital was removed to
Sioscow. Last October he put down
an uprising of Petrograd sailors who
revolted against being conscripted
into the bolshevik forces.

Suggestion Made to President
Means CanceIing of
Much Debt.
Mr.. WILSON SAYS MAIN
BUSINESS NOW is PEACE
Proposal Not Received With Favor
by the American
Delegation.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

copyright 1919, by n. Y. Evening Post, Inc.)
PARIS, January 22.-Althopgh no
formal proposal has been made. never
theless several feelers have been put
out in the direction OF President Wit
son by French officials booking to
American assent TO the IDEA of divid-
ing the cost of the war equally among
the United States, Great Britain and
France and proportioDate share to
Italy and the rest; in other words.
irrespective of the damage done by
Germany, which will Zoe embodied in a
large indemnity, an effort is being
made to distribute The cost of the war
preparations among the allies.
It has been suggested to Mr.. Wilson
that America ought to pay her share,
including the cost during the period
from the opening of the European war
itself and prior to our own participa-
ton.
Would Mean Wiping the Slate.
This means in effect America would
be obliged to cancel much of the war
debt which the allies owe her. be-
cause much of the money was spent
in war preparations in the form of
credits by the American government
for purchase in the United States of
food materials.
The President is said to have made
it quite informally understood that he
believed the main business of the
principals just now was to make
peace with the enemy, and commits
sion might properly be selected by
all nations after peace is settled.
which would inquire into the cost of
the war and decide how the cost
should be borne. ss,. q Z. tbs,
Nothing formal or even official at all
concerning this subject has been said,
but simply the most informal kind of
exchange of views. Nevertheless it in
dicates how anxious European coun-
tries are that America. which did not
years of neutrality, should assume at
least a portion Of the debt.
While too early to form any idea of
what the American delegation would
say If q proposal of such nature be
formally made, nevertheless early
conversations would indicate the idea
is not in favor.
1t Is especially deemed unwise to
have any discussion on the subject
at this time, though there is moth
ing yet to show whether the allied
statesmen who are behind the project
are willing to let it drop.

PARIS, ,Fanuary 20.-Great num-

Army aretanimated with the going
home spirit these days. This is evil
dent among the men on leave in
Paris. who are inquiring anxiously
about the conditions in America
and the chances of getting back
their old jobs. There are lots of
amusing incidents connected with
the return home. One is recorded
by the Stars and Stripes, as fol-
lows:
The plan of sergeant who had
intended TO have the army of occu-
patton pool its baggage allowance
and ship a German castle to Hobo
ken has been frustrated. 1t was
announced in general orders that
each corporal or private was al
lowed Seventy-five pounds of bag
gage. This resulted in the arrival
at Brest of three German pianos
and one airplane labeled Soldiers
baggage.
when the cars were unloaded
and the first piano was dumped on
the platform the officer in charge
stepped up to the corporal.
What in is that he IN
quired.
"'My squads baggage said the
corporal. 1T weighs just 800
pounds
Nothing doing said the officer.
And so the piano and two others
went to a Y. M. c. A. hut, and it's
former owners had to be content
with jewsharpS.
This was considered joke until
a salvaged airplane arrived and an
aero squadron expected to have it
transferred to the United States as
personal baggage. The officer
made it plain that these seventy
five pounds per man were not trans
ferrable. So the Cologne Cathe-
dral and the kaiser's bathtub are
saved"

PARIS, January 23.-Having dis
posed of the Russian question for the

principal object of its work, the es.
tablishment of league of nations.
This question promises to command
virtually the undivided attention OF

or another. AS the Russian delegates
are not expected at Princes Islanda

With friendship the allies may be
able to wipe out bolshevist tendencies
through settled order of govern

people now anti-bolshevist Such a
government. grateful for lifting Rus
sia from anarchial conditions, would
naturally turn to the allies for fur
ther succor instead of to Gremany.
Should the various Russian regimes
accept the conditions laid down bv
the allies 1t is thought there Is a
chance here for an agreement out of
which would come order and chance
of Russians entering the peace con-
ference at least as stable govern
ment, ratifying the peace conditions
and the league of nations. Without
this agreement 1t is generally con-
ceded that in the interests Of the
world allied military intervention on
large scale might be undertaken

sian governments as support the al
lied plans against those which oppose

factions of Russia to meet allied rep
resentatives at Princes Islands. there
to discuss Ways sad means ot allies,

ent state of chaos.
The premier and Mr.. Wilson are
working hand in hand in the peace
conference. The adoption of a policy
which will preclude further military
Intervention Of the allies is a victory
over the French, who have been insist
ent that the bolshevists be not recog-
nized in any shape or form. The
French have billions of dollars invest
ed in Russia.
Debt Remuneration Frightened.
Bolshevist renunciation of loans so
frightened French capitalists that
even when the bolshevists restored
foreign credits and agreed to nav
loans as one price of recognition
france objected on the ground that
ooisheV1sts could not be trusted dur
ing the swaying policies, and demand
ed the allies military intervention
and establishment of a government
in Russia more in accord with a set
tied order of things
PRESIDENT Wilson and Mr. Lloyd
George insisted Intervention might
have the effect of that in the French
revolution, uniting the whole of Rus

Held to Better Course.


They held that the better course
would be first to make plain the allies
unselfishness by a general support of
any definite Russian program that
might be arranged in conference be-
tween the conflicting elements and
the allies. This course is not a recog-
milton of bolshevism. but furthers the
Wilsonian policy, that all peoples
should decide their own affairs for
themselves and promises Incorporated
in the invitation of the peace conferees
bears it out to the fullest degree.
Undoubtedly it will increase the
hopes of other peoples of the world
in American policies. 1t will most GER
tainly prove to the Russians that the
allies are acting for Russia's good
alone.
The stand of the allies is not entire
ly disinterested, however, as the stem
taken is a precaution to prevent the
Germanization of Russia. an extreme
likelihood should present conditions
continue.
