Chicago, June 16.-Union leaders
directing the nationwide strike of

ed over reports from Atlantic City,
n. j., that the right of collective
bargaining, granted Saturday TO
electrical workers, had been ex-
tended to all other employees under
the postoffice department, including
telegraph operators.
While declining to discuss the
possible effect of this action on the
telegraphers' strike, officers of the
Commercial Telegraphers' union
said the one big issue over which
the strike was called, was the right
of collective bargaining.
"If Postmaster General Bur1e-
sons order is extended to the str1k-
ing telegraphers will the strike be
called off immediately S. ]. Kon-
enkamp, international president,
was asked.
Yes, but first assurance of rein

Major Mayo of the Aero club has
inspected the Vickers-Vimy ma
chine in which Captain Alcock and
Lieutenant Brown crossed the At
lantic and has found the seals on

tact, according to a wireless Cis-
patch received here from Clifden,
Ireland. In landing the pylons OF
the center section, as well as the
main spar of the lower plane were
broken but the construction of the
fuselage saved the machine from
further damage. The two engines
ran smoothly throughout the flight
and when the airplane landed there
were still two hundred and ninety
gallons of petrol left in the tank,
sufficient for a further flight OF 10
hours.
The arrival of the machine, the
dispatch states, caused tremendous
excitement among the soldiers,
wireless operators and others at
the CIifden wireless station. Dress
ed mainly in pajamas and coats the
men rushed to the spot where pne

WILL DECLINE
TERMS IF NOT
EASIER'-HUNS
Foe Reported Deter
mined Not Sign Unless
Pact is Modified.

Berlin, Saturday, June 14.-tBy
the Associated Press) "A canvass
of Official quarters qualified to
speak for absent government Off
cials this evening adduced the blunt
positive statement that unless the
revised proposals of the entente
nations contain most radical modi-
f1cations in spirit and in letter, Ger
many would not sign the peace
treaty
While the postponed delivery of
the entente reply was looked upon
as a favorable omen, although one
dangling from the most slender
thread, it may be said tonight that
the government, so far as it is still
represented in Berlin is not indulg-
ing in the luxury of undue illusions
as to what the next IS hours will
bring forth.
Point to Solid Front.
Alleged notifications in the draft
of the treaty, as reported to Berlin
through neutral news sources, are
rejected in official quarters here as
wholly insufficient to warrant the
prediction that the government will
be inclined to subject them to clos
er scrutiny. Emphasis was also
placed on the statement that the
cabinet which is now fully repre-
sented at Weimar, was absolutely
united in its attitude and that there
was no prospect of any division
which might break up the present
government and produce a new
ministry. The latter declaration
appears to have been prompted by
recurring reports that Matthias Err
berger, chairman of the German ar
mistice commission, was willing to
take over the job of concluding
peace.
1t was also pointed out that the
peace commission of the national
assembly which took an active part
in the formation of the German
counter proposals, was solidly
backing the cabinet in it's decision
to refuse a pact not representing
the greatest possible divergence
from the original proposals.
ErZberger Proves Puzzle.
In view of this alleged solidarity,
political onlookers here are unable
to figure out how ErZberger can
possibly create an Unexpectedly
new situation. Erzberger has been
brushing aside these rumors, dis
posing of them by referring to the
fact that the present coalition gov
ernment is not only intact but holds
an undisputed mandate from the
German people and from the ma
tional assembly, which is thorough
ly representative of a peoples will
On the other hand, he has not as
yet made an uneQuivocal denial of
the rumor that he is contemplating
quitting the cabinet, nor has he
definitely declared that he is in
complete harmony with the cabi-
nets peace policies.

The copy received by the Ger
mans was in French and English
and must be translated and printed
before it is placed before the Ger
man national assembly at Weimar.
1t is expected that the translation
and printing will take at least "a
hours.
Editors and printers worked
throughout the night and this fore

plete the reply. At 5 o'clock this

ing made, but it was stated that
the delivery of the document at
about 4 O'Clock was assured.

oped later this morning, will not

that there was not time to COM

At this mornings session OF the
council of four the documents to

gone over in detail. The session
was attended by the revision COM
mission, which earlier had COM
pleted it's work.
Marshal Foch, General Bliss and
other military leaders attended the
meeting of the council today. The
meeting developed the nature OF a
general windup of the German sit
uation.
The special train, which was
prepared at Versailles for the Ger
mans was made ready upon the re-
quest of Count Won Brockdorff
Rantzau, who signified his inten-
ton of leaving as soon as the re-
ply was presented.
The allies have promised Ger
many to deliver within one month
a list of persons whom they intend
to try for the responsibility for the
war. and violation of the laws of
war.
VIII Ask More Time.
1t is anticipated generally that
the Germans will ask for an ex-
tension of time in which to reply
TO the final peace conditions. The
request, it is said, will be based on
the fact that the Germans were
given only one revised copy of the
treaty.
