AND EVERYONE
SATISFIED WITH
WHAT HAPPENED
Conference Dispelled A IL
Fear That the Treaty OF
Versailles Was Not to Be
Enforced - Dispute Was
Over Who Should Put
Down Trouble in Ruhr
District.

London, April 20. Premier Lloyd
George. speaking in the House of Com
mons to day on the subject of the re-
cent allied conference at San Reno,
said that before the conference there
had been some Misunderstanding, seri-
Gus enough in themselves, but made
grave by deliberate fomenting on the
part Of very reckless persons
But continued the premier, Il am
glad to say that the sky is once more
clear. So far as | can see, everyone is
satisfied at what happened at San
Reno"
The premier declared the conference
had been the most remarkable one in
every respect held since the armistice.
There never had been such conference
as regarded satisfaction with the agree
ment by all the parties concerned or
the happiness which it has been able to
bring about, he said
The conference, declared the premier,
dispelled all suspicion that the treaty
OF Versailles was not to be enforced
Nj. LLOYD George said there had been
no difference of opinion between the
allies as to enforcement of the treaty.
A misunderstanding arose, he declared,
over the question as to who should put
down the disturbance in the Ruhr,
which threatened the peace. not only
Of Germany, but of Europe. The French
thought it ought to be suppressed by
the allies, the premier asserted, but all
the Others believed it should be left
to the Germans. This difference has
been settled, Mr.. Lloyd George said,
and the Germans informed that the
moment the German troops in the
Ruhr were reduced to the proportions
fixed by the allies last August. the
French troops would be withdrawn
from Frankfort and Darmstsdt.

EXTREMISTS CONTROL
FRENCH RAILROAD MEN
And are Attempting to Make the May
/ Strike a Starting Point for an
Unlimited General Strike.

Paris, April 29.-Extremists who
have captured control of the Railroad
Workers federation are attempting to
make the May | strike a starting point
for an unlimited general strike for the
naturalization of public utilities. In
the past plans for the day have con-
templated mere demonstration by la
Dor.
Strike notices subject to the APP
proval of the General Labor federation
have been issued by the executive com
mittee of the railroad federation, which
does not wish to risk failure because
of uack of support from the parent
organization. Delegates of the railroad
ers were closeted with the executive
committee of the general federation
until late last night trying to persuade
or force the latter TO support revolu-
tionary plans. More than diplomatic
secrecy has been maintained as TO this
but as far as can be as
certained no decision was reached, the
labor federation being opposed in prin-
cipal to political strikes. The execu-
tive committee of the labor federation
will see Premier Millerand to-day and
a meeting of the cabinet has been
called to consider the situation, which
is confused. but very grave.
The walls of Paris are plastered with
appeals and manifestos from various
organizations representing all shades OF
opinion in the ranks of labor. One APP
peal issued by the United unions Of the
Seine department concluded with a bit
of unconscious humor
''Do not work on May J." it said,
