PROSPECTS NOW FOR
FOUR FACTIONS AT
RUSS CONFERENCE
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Feb. 12.-Prospects are
Frightening for the assembling of at
least four of the Russian factions at
the conference to be held on the Prin-
ces Islands.
Word has come from the Ukraine
that the government of that former
part of Russia will participate in the
conference and it is reported that the
indecision of the government of Gen.
Denikine has given way to a desire
to join the conference The govern
ment of the Crimea already has ac-
cepted the invitation as has the Rus
sian Bolshevik government.
1t is beginning to appear that a
sufficient number of other factions
will be in evidence to meet the Boil
sheviki and the entente and American
representatives to assure the success
of the conference plan. The success
of the conference, however, is believed
to depend upon the willingness of the
Moscow soviet to give certain guar
antees as to the cessation Of hostilities
and the withdrawal of the Bolshevik
forces from the provinces which they
have invaded.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12-The naval
appropriation bill carrying total of
1921 100000 for the next fiscal year
and retaining approval of the new
three year building program of ten
battleships and ten scout cruisers,
was sent today to the senate. The
! measure was passed by the house
late yesterday by a vote of 281 to SO.
Prompt action on the bill is expected
in the senate in view of the short
time remaining before the close of
the session on March 4.
The bill as approved by the house
after opponents of the three year

ly to eliminate that provision, is vir-
tually in the form in which the naval
committee reported it. One amend
ment only was added to the building
program legislation, that by Repre-
sentative Humphreys, of Mississippi.

bill shall not be started before June
l, 1920, instead of February /, 1920,
as originally provided. BY terms of
a rider, the navy department is pro-
hibited from using money appropriat-
ed in the bill to buy wireless stations
or to pay for those stations already
purchased.
Revenue Bill Action
More than six months in the MAX
ing, the great war revenue bill levy
ing six billion dollars in taxes this
year and four billion dollars annually
thereafter, today neared final con-
gressional action. Democratic and
Republican leaders expressed the be-
lief when the senate convened today
that the conference report on the
measure would be adopted before ad-
journment and the bill sent to the
White House to await President
Wilson's return from abroad.
Though several senators planned to
speak today in opposition to certain
sections of the conference report,
leaders predicted that the bill would
be approved by an overwhelming
vote. Chairman Simmons of the
senate managers said a night session
proba bly, would be held If necessary
to complete action on the measure.

folk, for the first time In history, had
chosen the head of their own state.
Friedrich Ebert, former saddler and
Socialist leader, appeared before the
theatre twenty minutes later and re-
ceived as president of Germany, those
plaudits formerly marking the appear
ance of the monarch who once stigma
tized the party to which President
Ebert belongs as being made up OF
men unworthy to bear the name OF

ed this afternoon beyond anything
previously seen since the opening OF

resembled the reichstag tribune IN ola
days. with men and women IN gala at.
tire jammed in every available 1nch OF
space. The boxes and balconies were
also crowded to their utmost capacity

as the delegates struggled along the
narrow aisles. Great crowds massed
outside during the session, waiting pa
the new president when he left the
building, which he did Immediately
after a very brief speech of accept
ance. He smilingly acknowledged the
ovation given him.
The vote against him probably came
from the solid conservative block ana
n few of the old National Liberals,
while the independent Socialists and
some others signified lesser degree
of disapprobation by casting blank Dai-
lots. Announcement of the solitary
vote for Matthias Erzberger brought
laugh from the entire house, Whlcn

CRISIS IN LABOR
SITUATION TODAY

Unions Presented to Gov
ernment at Conferences.
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Feb. 12.-While the press
generally approves of Premier Lloyd
Georges labor program. it fails to sat
isfy the parliamentary labor party,
which has prepared an amendment to
the reply to the speech from the
throne, regretting the absence of def
mite proposals dealing with ''the pres
ent cases of industrial unrest and for
securing, as regards wages and work
ing hours, conditions of labor which
will establish higher standard o.
life and social well being for the
people"
Mr.. Lloyd Georges proposals are
also adversely criticised by the radical
section of the press, which regards
them as vague and unlikely to be car
ried out by what is alleged to be a
"reactionary parliament"
The labor situation reaches a crisis
today in conferences between the gov
ernment and three great unions, rep
resenting nearly 100000 workers, the
result of whose demands is awaited
with keen interest by the entire labor
world. The unions are the Miners
Federation of Great Britain, member
ship 100000; National Union of Rail-
way Men, membership 400, 900, and the
National Transport Workers Fedora
ton, membership 250,00O. The unions
are acting together and 1t is believed
they have agreed on joint action If
dissatisfied with the result of the
conferences.
Lloyd George Attacked.
The railway mems demands include
a 48 hour week and control of rail-
ways by representatives of the man
agements and workers. This latter
clause is considered step toward
naturalization but an alternative has
been prepared in the form of a mis-
sion Of labor delegates and boards of
directors.
and thirty percent increase in wages,
while the transport workers demand a
44-hour week and wage advance Of
twenty per cent.
While the Northcliffe newspapers
generally approve of the Llyod George
program, the premier is openly at
tackled by Viscount Northcliff in a
new weekly published today The at
tack is in an article sent to the pub
lication by cable by Viscount North
cliffe. who is in southern France. Mr.
Lloyd George is said to be political
chameleon" who lacks force to compel
the Tories and their allies in parlia-
ment to accept needed reforms. The
premier is accused of waiting for the
newspapers to tell him what to do.
