tons monthly on American ports

pre-war level. Furthermore such a
tonnage would entail a tax on the

HOPE FOR ADJUSTMENT :
PLACED ON KOONS
First Assistant Postmaster General
Kocns Was Expected to Arrive in
Boston to Take Up the
Telephone Tangle.

Boston, April 1.-THE expected srriy-
al here of John c. Koons, first as
sistant postmaster general and chairman
of the wire control board, gave some
hope of speedy adjustment of the
strike of telephone workers which start
ed Tuesday when union operators in all
the New England states except Connec-
ticut walked out. Yesterday the cable
splicers joined the operators, and to-day
a strike Of electricians which leaders
claimed involved $4,000 men in % unions
became effective
Word that Mr. koons was on his way
here was brought by United States SEN
ator David l. Walsh, who arrived from
Washington yesterday. Senator Walsh
said government officials were greatly
concerned over the situation in New Eng
land
Exchange managers in several cities
outside the Boston district claimed some
Improvement in service by the use of
volunteer and non-union sub-opcrators
and in few places it was said that
service, except over the toll lines, would
be nearly normal to-day. In Boston and
the exchanges in the immediate vicinity,
however, business was virtually at
standstill
Reports that sub-o operators were being
brought here from other cities led to an
increase in the picket guard about the
railroad terminals TODAY and it was re.
ported that union hotel employees had
been asked to refuse service to non union
operators.

TRIUMPH FOR LLOYD GEORGE.
That Is the Way the British Press Re
CARDS His Speech.

London, April l7.-While opinions are
divided regarding the substance Of the
address of Premier Lloyd George be-
fore the House of Commons yesterday
the London press generally agrees that
it was a great parliamentary triumph.
Excepting the laborite and NorthelifTe
newspapers, none of the morning jour.
mails condemns the premier's statement
wholly, while several warmly applaud
it. These admit that Mr.. Lloyd George
revealed nothing of the peace terms, but
they do not complain.
The Telegraph, for instance, says his
general account of the terms will give
deep satisfaction" and adds chat he de
molished the whole structure his critics
built on his supposed departure from his
prediction pledges"
The Express declares its full belief in
the premier's statement that his pledges
will be found embodied in the peace
terms and says that he retains the com.
plete confidence of the nation. The
Graphic is equally favorable and SAYS
incidentally. that Mr.. Lloyd George
statement "iustifes the assumption that
President Wilson has abandoned his op-
position, or alleged opposition TO the
sterner peace of those powers which suf.
fered most in the war.
Those who attack individual members
of the peace conference when the chief
concern of everybody is the public in.
terest, are condemned by the Chronicle
which says: 'If the peace terms event
ually disappoint any sane expectation,
the fault will lie less with the statesmen
in Paris than with the peoples they rep
resent"
