auested police protection after num-
ber o. these outbreaks.
Postal operators were entirely ao-
sent from the board Of trade here to-
day and the Western Union forcStherc
was reduced to about one half nor
NAL.
Mr.. Konenkamp declared It was un-
certain whether electrical workers.

terms the right of their commercial
operators to organize and bargain CO :

as far as he knew only two were strik-
ers.
Mr.. Carleton asserted that the stock
exchange and cable operating depart
ments wese not affected by the strike.
Contrary claims were made by Per
CIV Thomas, tice president of the tele-
eraphers union. who said his reports
showed large percentage OF Postal

With Hungary Awaits Disposal Of

tria Complains Of "Hard Conditions"
[By Associated Press.l

Altho the agreement is still
lacking on important features or
the allied reply to the German
counter proposals, hope was offi-
cially expressed after meeting Of
the council of four in Paris Tues
day that q declsion would be
reached in a comparatively short
time. 1t is Indicated elsewhere,
however. that there still may be
considerable delay before the
treaty is again suemittedN to 'the
elemy delegation.
France is standing out against
the immediate admission OF Ger
many into the league of nations. 1t
is because Of Gerinanys arrogant
attitude" that France is resisting
such action at present, 1t is SaIu.
France woula not oppose the ad- =
mission OF Germany at later
date.
Advices state that the repara-
tions clauses Of the treaty nave
been agreed upon in principle and
that the convention will not indi-
cate any fixed sum which Germany
might pay. 1t is declared in
French circles that the treaty will
be changed less than has been
generally expected. In any event
it is believed the reply will be
short, covering generally all the
German proposals, and will be fol-
lowed by reports Of commissions
showing reasons why the allies
can not grant specific requests
made by the enemy delegation.
Work on the clauses of the Ger
man treaty. which we're received
when the terms were presented at
st. Germain. is apparently at.
standstill, pending the settlement
of the question arising from the
reply to the Germans. 1t seems
) probable. tco, that the treaty with
Hungary will not be taken up un-
til after the German and Austrian
pacts have been got out oft he way.

No move was made today by the

the handling of private managements.
AT the same time officials lately re-
spensible for the conduct OF the tele-
graph systems were inclined to dis
count the possibility that communica-
tions would be seriously hampered by
the strike Of telegraph operators. The
threatened walkout Of electrical work
ers was said to have more seriousspos-

conference heads refused the German
request for a mandate FOR the sormer
German colonies, II was learned today.
A lengthy memorandum gives the
reasons for the refusal and explains
the operations of the league of nations
on colonial matters.
The reparations portion of the reply
which has been completed and has
reached the prsnter, does not fix -he
total sum which the Germans must
pay. The text OF the treaty itself is
not changed, but the reply contains as
surances to Germany regarding the
method of the reparation process. ex-
planning that II is a workable arrange
ment.
President Wilson fought strenuously
TO include a fixed total sum in the re-
parations clause and the close Of the
discussion leaves him unchanged, 1t is
said, In the belief that that is the best
plan.
It is understood. however. that the
president said that inasmuch as presi-
dent Clemenceau has insisted to the
contrary and also. that ne had signed
the original draft. he would sign the
reply as formulated. ...
