PERSH|NC WILL,
VISIT ARKANSAS
EARLY IN YEAR
Camp Pike Probably Last on
List of CantOnments He
Will See.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The timer
airy of General Pershing's inspection
tour of environments and posts, issued
today, shows the trip will cover COM
pletely the manufacturing and train
ing machinery erected during the war
in support of the American expedi-
tionary forces. More than 100 camps,
aviation fields and munition plants
will be visited, in order that General
Pershing may be able to recommend
to Secretary Baker a comprehensive
plan for maintaining adequate facili-
ties to back up the military estab-
lishment.
Leaving Washington December 8,
General Pershing and his official
suite will visit Camp Lee, Virginia,
as the initial stop and then move
through the southeastern department,
arriving at it's headquarters. Charles
ton, S. c., December Z. Plants and
stations in the central department are
next in line.
The holidays will be spent by Cen
eral Pershing with his son and his
sisters at Lincoln, Nebr., new start
being made west about January 5.
A detailed schedule has not been
arranged beyond Christmas.
1t was emphasized today that con-
ditions in Mexico had no influence
on the framing of the schedule. Gen

had purposely delayed visiting the
border posts in order that an errone-
Gus Interpretation could not be placed
upon his trip there.
Points to be visited after Christ
mas include:
Kelly Field, San Antonio, Texas,
which is also headquarters southern
department; Ellington Field, Hous-
ton, Texas; Fl. Sill, Oklahoma; Camp

NO ACTION FOR
STRIKE MADE BY
BR0THERH00DS
No Vote Taken on Offer for Time
and a Half for Over
time.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 26.--No ac-
ton looking toward railroad strike
by the four railroad brotherhoods
was taken today by the 500 general
charmen meeting here to act on Di-
rector General of Railroads Hines of
fer of time and one-half for slow
freight service and no vote was taken
on the proposition, although q no
ton to vote on it was adopted.\ he
conference adjourned late this after
noon and will meet again tomorrow
morning. Discussion of the PROPOSE
ton and the request of the firemen
and trainmen for general wage in
crease occupied this afternoons ses-
sion.
The morning session adjourned at
noon for luncheon and one of the
brotherhood chiefs announced that a
vote on the overtime proposition had
been taken, but it later developed that
this was an error and that only a
motion to vote on it was adopted.
When the conference reassembled
CHc uiIeCCoI HeHeTdl b OlIeF was again
taken up. Many amendments were
offered by the delegates and further
requests were sent to Washington for
explanation of it's workings in con-
nection with the elimination of arbi-
trares and allowances, as stipulated
by the director general.
1t was learned from an authorita-
tive source tonight that the delegates
are opposed to accepting the PROPOSE
ton if all the arbitraries and allow
ances existing in many schedules at
present are eliminated, figuring that
the loss of these arbitraries and al
lowances is nearly equal to the
amount gained by the overtime offer.
Many delegates claim the members
of the four railroad brotherhoods
have been Disseminated against, it
was said, in the recent granting of
increased wages to other railroad en-
ployes.
The general chairman and chief ex-
ecutives of the firemen, conductors
and trainmen were in session tonight
working on figures to show how the
time and one-half for overtime in
slow freight service with the elimina-
ton of arbitraries and special allow
ances will affect their members.

Quaker to Have
Charge of Funds
Sent to Germany

New York, Nov. 26.-Americans of
German blood who wish to contribute
to charitable relief organizations in
Germany were asked in statement
by Herbert Hoover tonight to make
their contributions solely through the
Quakers. Mr.. Hoover said he consid-
cred that appeals for aid for dis
tressed Germans were undesirable in
this country, and that to prevent such
campaigns having political import,
he had asked the Quakers to take
charge of this section of European
relief work.
Incidentally Mr.. Hoover suggested
that the Quaker spirit of pacificism
will do some people in Germany good.
