Refuses To Arbitrate

company The concern maintain
ing the policy it established at the
outset of the strike, refusing to treat
with the striking employees as a I'M
ion under any circumstances. even
though the employees offered to re-
turn to work at once if arbitration
is agreed upon.
The hearing continues this after
noon with no effort on the part of
the company to dispute claims of
failure of service or to offer any
basis of settlement with their en-
ployes.
1.-THE cities are insisting upon
immediate relief at the hands of
the commission" Mayor H. NJ.
Schriver of Rock Island said this
afternoon. 1--WE are here to show
the utilities commission that tele-
phone service is deplorable. We
have more than one hundred COM
plants from subscribers stating
specifically that they have been
without service during the period
of the strike. Upon these COM
plants aud with other evidence VIC
will present to the commission, we
base our demand that the service of
the company be improved and be

The President: NO, it was not

Senator Lodge then asked
whether the United States would
receive any part OF the German

The President: II left that ques-
ton open, senator, because l did
not feel that 1 had any final right
to decide it. Upon the basis that
was set up in the reparation
clauses the portion that the United
States would receive would be very
small at best, and my own judS-
ment was frequently expressed, not
as a decision, but as judgment
that we should claim nothing under
those general clauses. / did that

tage that that would give US in the

Especial to The Argus

Chicago, Aug. 19.-The Central
Union Telephone company, main
tanning its defiant position in refus-
ing either to deal with the striking
employees or better its service in
Rock Island, today admitted the de-
plorabIe condition of its lines and
the inability to provide adequate
service
c. III. Rottger, general manager
of the company, was on the stand
most of the day today at the hear
ing here called by the Illinois pub
lie utilities commission at the re-
quest of the cities of Rock Island,
Moline and East Moline.
Mr. Rottger admitted on the
stand that telephone service in
these cities is in deplorable shape
but refuses all offers to arbitrate,
even to the question of a living
wage alone.
Representatives of the striking
operators and Iinemen made an Of
fer to the company to arbitrate, Mr..
Rottger to represent the company
and the employees to select Su-
preme Court Justice Floyd E.
Thompson of Rock Island.
This offer was refused by the

TWO YOUTHS OF II
CONFESS TO THEFT
NDRUG COMPANY

Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry
Finn of 1919, were arrested by the
police last night for various stunts
they pulled throughout the city.
Both are ~ years of age. They
will appear in county court next
Saturday. Their names are John
Emringer and Charles Walsh.
they are held particularly for the
theft of a quantity of candy from
Hartz & Bahnsen, wholesale drug
gists, last Saturday.
Both confessed this morning to
Chief OF Police Tom Cox to the
robbery, although they did not con-
slider thSl they had committed a
grave offense. They also told, with
the bravado of real robbers. how
they had planned other jobs.
On account of their ages it is
probable that they will be shown
leniency in court. Both have al
ready been given previous chances.
However. they themselves think
they are well able to take care of
each other. They said whenever
they planned a robbery of any kind
they took particular care to see that
their younger brothers, years of
age, were not informed of the acts.
Harold Schaad, II years old, was
also held by the police. All three,
it is said, entered the Wholesale
store Saturday night by climbing
up the fire escape and breaking in
a window.
Their addresses are not known to
the police, being subject to change
from time to time.

Fred Harrington, fire department
electrician, and Harry Lundduist

ed increases in salary of SIS and

ing. Petition of the police officers
for a 20 per cent increase was re-
ferred to the police committee for
consideration.
Harrington. as fire department.

of electrical inspector with those

him $50 per month in excess OF
the regular firemen scale. Lund-
quist will now receive sI25 per
month.
designations of W. F. Hepburn
and Roy F. Miller from the police
force. and Oscar Youngren from
the fire department captsincy were
accepted.
An ordinance providing for com
pletion Of Second street storm
drain was adopted and work is TO
be started as soon as possible. II
is estimated the project will cost
the city $S,493.
The council rejected petitions
from residents in the new Logan
school district to open avenues and
streets through that section, be-
cause such thor0ughfares would
cut through school property.
NeeIey May Lose Fee.
If the attorney general sanctions
the proposal, the fee of $3.50 be-
ing paid Motorcycle Officer P. T.
Negley for every arrest for viola
ton of traffic regulations will be
placed in the police benefit fund.
Mr.. Brundage has been asked by
the council to submit an opinion.
and it is expected TO be here be-
fore the end OF the week, Many
automobile drivers arrested for
speeding have been bitter in their
denunciation of the officer, assert
ing he arrested them more for the
fee than through any desire TO
curb the practice.
Mayor Skinner came out in de-
Tense of Negley. He cited the fact
that nearly every speeder hailed in
court has admitted driving more
than the limit, and also that the
percentage of convictions of those
who demanded trial by jury has
been exceedingly high.
The question of extending the
Fourth avenue car line south on
Twenty-seventh street to Twenty
third avenue from it's terminal at
Fifteenth avenue, is TO be taken UP
at once with the public utilities
commission. A resolution to this
effect was adopted by the council.
Paving Discussed.
1t is probable that a public
meeting to discuss the improve
ment OF Fifteenth street paving
will not take place until fall in
view of the fact that no work
could be done this year. Il will
require so days in which to com
pIete preIiminarics to the con
struction work.

ing and 1 am very glad to tell the
committee just what l meant.
Some months before the confer

up by a British committee at the
head of which was Mr.. Phillimore

was known as the authority on in

document was sent to me and 1
built upon that a redraft. Then,
between that time and the time of
the formation of the commission on
the League of Nations, I had the
of seeing a paper by
General SHUTS of South Africa,
who seemed to me to have done
some very clear thinking, particu-
larly with regard to what was to be
done with the pieces of the dis
membered empire. Before 1 got to
Paris therefore, I rewrote the docu-
ment to which l have alluded and
you may have noticed that it con-
sists of a series of articles and
then supplementary agreements. 1t
was in the supplementary agree
ments that I embodied the addi-
tional ideas that had come to me
not only from General Shuts pa
per, but from other discussions.
That is the full story of how the
plan which ] sent to the committee
was built up"

vious that the General SHUTS plan
was used. That appears on the
face of the document.
