Any man is and must be free to quit

Everett had not waited for me. but I

SUGGESTION REFUSED


 Stockholm. October 14.-(Havas)- )-- The Lettish council of ministers has refused, 1t is said. to comply with the suggestion of 5an armistice, put forth by Colonel Avaloff- Bermondt, who, Oc- tober 1, again requested the Lettish government to send delegates to Mitau to discuss possibilities of a settlement. The Lettish ministers replied that it was impossible to negotiate with Colo nel Avaloff Bermondt, who had been declared a traitor by General Judenich, commander of the Russian Northwest ern army
 According to reports received here from Lettsh quarters the demand for the arfnistice was provoked by the vigt orous resistance of the Lettish troops at Riga, who had prevented the Ger man and Baltic forces from crossing the Duna bridges and penetrating into Riga.

 Disposition of excess earnings was regarded as one of the most impOrt- ant and difficult basis in the framing of the bill and has been opposed as unconstitutional on the ground that i, was beyond the power of Congress to prescribe.
 The committee also approved a pro- vision that the individual carriers from excess earnings over per cent may accumulate reserve funds up to a maximum of per cent of their prop rerty value. When this per cent limit is reached and maintained. one-third of further excess earnings may b@ retained by individual carriers and two thirds must be transferred to .he federal contingent fund.
