Russia May Be Admitted.

Paris, Jan 1o--It is understood on
best authority that negotiations have
been under way for some time between
the allies looking to possible represent
ations Of all the different parties Of
Russia at the peace congress. Admis-
sion Of these delegates it is said, would
be on the condition that truce be-
tween them be declared and accepted
during the period covered by peace
negotiations.
This proposition, which is supposed
to emanate from the government, is
not accepted in its present form by
France which refuses to recognize the
bolshevists in any form.

President Grave Concern - ltalys
Claims Opposed by Wilson.

Paris. Jan. l1.-Problems Of great
Importance have been occupying Presi-
dent Wilson's time while he waited for
the opening of conversations with the
premiers of the allied nations.
He has been devoting himself to close
study of the food situation, the acute
question of demob}lization. and the ex-
tent to which he will support the
claims it is expected Italy will make at
the peace congress. American partici-
patton in allied Intervention in Russia
ment are problems also considered, but
they are not looked upon as paramount
at this time.

expected to approve Italian domination
of the Adriatic. but he will probably
support Italv's demand that her eastern
coast be made safe from military
threats.
Food Contracts Cancelled.
There is a collateral issue in connec
ton with the food situation which Wit
ally concerns the economic situation in
the United States and which has not
been fully worked out. Large contracts
for food supplies in the United States
were Cancelled recently by France and
Great Britain.

standing Of the fact that the American
farmers had been spurred to sfeod pro-
duction by the promise that their crops
would be marketed at good prices. was
willing to renew some d these con-
tracts. but negotiations with Great
Britain have not been SO far success
full.
Exports to neutral countries may op-
en- a way for relieving the situation. To
that end negotiations are under way for
a partial relaxation of the blockade.
Generalization Problem Ae ute.
The demoblization problem is proba-
bly, the most acute Of all. II is so deli
cate that it is not openly discussed. but
recent incidents in England caused by
the unwillingness of British soldiers to
return to the continent are regarded
here by Americans and others as indi-
eating what might be cause tor grave
apprehension. Some military men feel
it is understood. that the withdrawal of
American troops from France might
bring demand from French soldiers to
be returned to their peace time employ
ments. 49,.
President Wilson is studying this
condition, the importance Of which is
not to be underestimated. He is trying
to find way by which an agreement
NAV be reached which will restore the
nations to a peace basis and still not
separate the league Of nations project
from the actuaLmaking of peace.

Washington. Jan. 11.z-President Will
son today cabled request to the wal
labor board to take up again the case
Of the marine workers strike in New
York and proceed to make finding.
The president said he was sure the
war and navy departments. the ship
ping board and railroad administration
would use every power to make the
finding effective and that he was con
fident also that private boat owners
would feel constrained by patriotism to
accept the boards recommendations.
Basil M. Manly, joint chairman of the
war labor board with William H. Taft
said today the board would take up the
presidents request at once. but he was
not sure that a quorum could be must
erred for action before Monday.
An official request has been sent to
the striking harbor boatmen of New
York to return to work pending action
by the war labor board. which Presi-
dent Wilson asked by cable today to
decide the controversy. Officials think
the strike will be over before night.
Representatives Of the war and navy
departments, the railroad administra-
ton and the shipping board decided
upon this policy and communicated
their decision to A. H. Smith, regional
director Of railroads who was asked
to advise the strikers.
Mr.. Manly's first step was to ask the
war and navy departments, the ship
ping board and the railroad admins
tration what would be their attitude
toward any decisions made by the
board in accordance with the presi-
dents request. He was informed
promptly that all four Of the govern
ments agencies would abide by the de-
cisions.
In the meantime, kilograms from the
board itself to the strikers and boat
owners were prepared. 1t is understood

LUMBER PRICE
CUT UNLIKELY
Dealers Fail to Reach Price
Agreement-Say They're
Losing Money.

Lumber prices can be reduced
only slightly. II at all. from the
wartime figures in the opinion of
representatives of the industry now
trying to reach a price agreement
with the Industrial Board.
Suggestions of the board for re-
ductfons similar to the slash in steel
prices brought the reply from the
lumbermen that they did not repre-
sent a sufficient percentage of the
industry to accept the responsibility
for the lower prices. Conferences
which lasted all day yesterday ad-
journed last night without an
agreement being reached. Efforts
to reach an understanding will be
continued.
At the same time the lumbermen,
through their chairman. John H. kir-
by, claimed that they are losing money
at present prices, and that reductions
cannot be made until the cost of labor
comes down. This the board refuses
to allow.
"Our prices and our production costs
are one." Kirby said. when asked II he
had submitted a new schedule OF
prices.
"Our production cost has increased
since the signing Of the armistice, and
we are actually losing money on
many of our present selling prices.
The lumbermen are anxious to have
the board announce some prices, as
the fact that the board is consider
ing reductions has held up nearly all
lumber sales.
