WILSON REMOVES
GOLD EMBARGO;
WATCH PRICES

Washington, June 9.--To hasten re-
turn to normal economic conditions
and restore the American dollar to
parity in several foreign contries, the
control exercised by the government
over transactions in foreign exchange
and the exportion of gold coin, bull
lion and currency was terminated to-
day by President Wilson, action be-
ing taken on recommendation of the
federal reserve board
Government credits to the allies
virtually are exhausted, the announce
ment said, so that a flow of gold to
this country may be expected soon,
tending to advance existing high
prices. This will be offset however,
by the outward movement of gold.
One important effect is the restor-
alton of the American dollar to par
ity in exchange with South Ameri-
can countries. particularly Colobia
and Venezuela where it has been at
a discount of 20 per cent

FEAR FORMATION
OF ANOTHER GROUP
ThG Movement to Admit Germany is
Based on Belief that Otherwise
Opposing Combination Would
Result.

Paris, June 9.-The movement to
admit Germany to the league of ma
lions is due mainly to the desire to
avoid the possibility Of the formation
of another group of rival powers,
which would embrance Germany, Rus
STA and the old Teutonic group.
Evidences have reached the con-
ference leaders of late that influences
are at work in Germany and Russia
to establish relations as a basis for a
combination of powers not in the
league While not regarding as i'm
minent, it was felt that the danger Of
such combination would be always
present while Germany was outside
the league, and the admission of Ger
many, therefore war recommended as
a means of subjecting her to the
same obligations as the allies under
the league Of nations.
This sentiment was chiefly instru-
the British, French and Americans
members of the league committee
concerning the condition on which
Germany may be admitted. One of
the chief authorities said today:
I'VE can deal with Germany better
when inside than outside the league
! Outside, she would be able to 90 her
own way. Inside, she must conform
to the same obligations as the allies "
1t is understood that the conditions
recommended for Germany's admis-
sioc are:
First-The establishment of a
stable government.
Second-The signing of the treaty
of peace.
fhird-The loyal execution of the
peace treaty.
A proposed fourth condition rela-
tive to Germany's abolishing compul-
sorry military service, was omitted or
Premier Clemenceau's suggestion 1t
was considered that the treaty suffi-
GENTLY provided for Germany's dis
armament.

Fought.

Atlantic City, N. j., June 9.-Dele-

women, at the opening session of the
American Federation of Labor today,
put the stamp of their disapproval Of
the ideas of radical agitators, and
prepared to deal with reconstruction
problems Of vital Importance to Or
ganized labor.
Opportunity to show their lack of
sympathy with the efforts of radi-
calls came during an address by Gov
ernor Runeon, of New Jersey. Refer
ring to meeting in New York last
night, the governor asserted that
"these men threaten that unless
things are settled their way, chaos
will result" He paused "a moment
and then declared: 81 know that
American labor and this convention
have no sympathy with any ideas that
that not constructive. l know you are
out of harmony with destruction
creeds. You think along same lines :"
A burst of applause from the floor
quickly swelled to a roar.
Gompers Sounds Keynote.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor sound
ed the keynote of the conventions when
he said in his opening address that
organized labor was determined poll
teal or industrial tyranny would have
no place in America.
Mr.. Gompers said organized labor
was making no unjust demands and
of CHI %1os
and made sacrifices to win the war,
had no intention Of losing sight of
the principles, rights and ideals for
which they had fought, now that the
war was won
The annual report of the executive
council of the federation containing
broad outlines Of organized labor's
reconstructive program was submit
ted to the delegates for their consid-
Grafton at the close Of Mr.. Gompers'
address. In it, the council made many
recommendation designed to protect
the rights and improve the conditions
of Rmerican labor.

GOVERNMENT TYPOS
PUT TREATY INTO
TYPE IN 2 HOURS

Washington, June Establishing
a new speed record, the government
printing office within two hours to-
night set up in type the German
peace treaty consisting of nearly 1OO,-
900 words.
Despite the length of the treaty and
the demands for haste owing to the
desire to have the treaty appear in
the congressional record tomorrow as
ordered by the senate, the task was
taken as a matter of everyday occur
renee at the plant, which IS the
worlds largest printing establish
ment.
AS the treaty will appear tomor-
row, it will cover Cd pages of the
Congressional Record and will have
cost the government $4,000 to print.

Final Reply of Allies Is Ex-
pected by End Of the
Week.
COUNCIL OF FOUR
FRAMES ULTIMATUM
Considerable Fighting Continues Be-
tween the Factions in Russia
With Greatly Varying
Results.
(Bv The Associated Press.)

The council of four of the allied and
associated governments is busily en-
gagged in going over the reports of
the commissions which have been ex-
aiming into the counter proposals,
Germany offered to the peace treaty.
While all the commissions have not
vet reported to the council, it is felt
in Paris, that late in the present week
the entire situation will have been so
whipped into shape that it will be pos
sibIe to hand the Germans at Versail-
les the final world Of the allied and
associated powers, consulting an ir-
reducible minimum of concessions.
1t is said that five days after the
presentation of TIE reply of the allies
the Germans must give notice as to
whether they propose to sign the
peace treaty.
Considerable fighting continues be-
tween the factions in Russia, APP
parently with varying results.
Germany, if she signs the pence
treaty and gives satisfactory suaran
government and Loyalty carry out
the provisions of the treaty, doubtless
will be permitted to become member
of the league of nations
The council of four at present has
this momentous subject under consid
GRAFTON and from unofficial reports,
there seemingly is no strong object
ION to Germany becoming associated
with the other Sations in the league,
if by contriteness, she proves her
worthiness to membership.
The council Of four also took up
this afternoon. the crisis between the
Czechs and Hungarians. The serious
ness of the situation on the frontier
is recognized and the council will re-
sumo consideration of the question
tomorrow, with the view to adopting
measures for an adjustment.
