 As originally proposed, five, lower boards composed equally of employees and employers would have been estab lished to deal with labor disagreements and their conclusions would have been subject to the approval of a federal board. consisting of five members ap- pointed by the President with the Sem ates consent. Instead. this plan was changed by the conferees to provide that While adjustments of labor differ ences might be made by representa- tives of the men and the carriers in cases where a strike is threatened, which wolud tie up interstate com- merce, submission of the dispute to the federal board is made compulsory and the findings of this board are final.
 To prevent discrimination against

 one of which must be a representa-

 Was the labor provision agreed on so that this board can take jurisdic- ton of the pending matterY' Senator Cummins was asked.
 That was in mind," he replied
 Attention was called to the fact that the Presidents reply to the railroad men indicated that he might appoint separate board to deal with their griev / ances.
 q hope that he will not do that, but that he will regard this board as well qualified to take hold of the situation" Senator Cummins said. "If he doesn't it will cause some confusion, for 1t will be this boards duties to consider the dispute"
 Senator Cummins said that he and Chairman Esch of the House will meet tomorrow to go over the final draft of the bill.
 Representative Esch announced to- night that he would submit the con- ference report to the House Wednesday, at which time 1t will also be presented in the Senate. He plans to ask for a unanimous agreement to restrict debate on the bill in the House to four hours and believes the House will complete action on the legislation Saturday.

REFUSESINFORMATION ON MATTERS BEFORE PEACE CONFERENCE
Bonar Law Tells House of Commons Not to Expect an Answer From
 Any of Questions Asked Him
By Associated Pres,


 London, February 16.-Information on questions pending before the peace con ference was refused in the House of Commons today by Andrew Bonar Law. the government leader.
 MT. Bonar Laws refusal came after Lord Robert Cecil had asked whether it was true, as reported In the press, that the allies had abandoned their demands for the surrender of German war crim- inals; whether it was true that a note lad been received from the United States expressing dissent from the proposal of the allies for settlement of the Adriatic qrestiOn, and complaining that the United States had not been consulted before such proposals were made and whether it was true that the allies had decided to leave the Turks in possession of Constantnople and a large part of Armenia, including Cilicia.
 In ieply MT. Bonar Law said that he must ask the House not to expect an answer at present to any questions un- der consideration by the peace. confer ence from day to day. He declared that premature publication of discussions of part of the settlement dealing with the peace as whole could have no other effect than to make the work of the peace conference more difficult
 Regarding the demand for surrender Of war criminals. MT Bonar Law said, a communication had been addressed to the German government and this would be published as soon as it was known that it had reached the German govern ment

it. government. who professed that might was right and success condoned crime
 It was from this point of view, and not exclusively from a national stand point, that the powers requested the gov ernment of the Queen to hand over Wil- liam of Hohenzollern, and from, this point of view they now renew that request. The powers cesire to remind the gov ernment of the Netherlands that if it should persist in It's attitude of detach- ment toward the presence of the im- perial family on it's territory so close to Germany it would assume direct respon- sihiiity for both sheltering from the claims of justice a criminal and for that propaganda which is so dangerous to Eu- rope and the whole world
 Tt is indisputable that the permanent presence of the ex-emperor under in- effectual supervision a few kilometers distance from the German frontier where he continues the center of active and increasing intrigue, constitutes for the powers, who have made super human sacrifice to destroy this mortal danger, a menace which they cannot be called upon to accept. The rights they possess in virtue of most express principles of the law of nations en- tile them and make it their duty to take such measure as are required for their own security.
 T ne NOMtfS taunOf conceal the painful impression made. upon them hy the refusal of the Dutch government to hand over the eX-emperor to them without any consideration of the pos sibility of reconciling the scruples of Holland with some effectual precau- tionary measures to be taken with the spot or by holding the ey-emperor at a distance from the scene of his crimes and make it impossible for him 10 his ir,r many in the future. Although a pro- posal of this nature would not corre- spond fully to the request of the DOW CTS, it would at least have afforded proof of those feelings which Holland cannot but possess.
 The powers urge upon the Dutch government in the most solemn and pressing manner the importance at taching to fresh consideration of the question put before her. They desire that 1t may be clearly understood how grave the situation might become if The Netherlands government were not in a position to give these assurances " hich the safety of Europe so impera- lively demands"
 nations of the world The powers wish to point out that the League of Nations has not yet reached a state of develop ment sufficient to allow any application to it or to a tribunal of any kind created by. it with feeling with that prompt satisfaction which is surely essential.
 Ut does not appear to consider that it shares with other civilized nations the duty of securing the punishment of crimes against justice and the principles of humanity crimes for which William of Hohenzollern undeniably bears a heavy responsibility.
 "The note of January 15 was sent in the name of the allies, twenty-five in num- Der, who were signatories to the treaty of peace and the collective mandatores .of majority of the civilized nations of the world. It is impossible to disregard

Miller Huggins Will Be Forced to Handle Galaxy of Tempera-
 mental Stars

Miller Huggins, the midget manager of the Yankees, is facing many troubles before the 1920 campaign ends. How he will ever succeed in handling such fellows as Carl Mays Babe Ruth. Ping Bodie, Bob Shawkey. Del Pratt. and Truck Hannah all at once remains to be offered as lesson to other big league leaders. Of course. before the season starts, Huggins, may succeed in disposing of some of his tempera- mental stars but if he begins with them all in uniform, he's in for warm. summer, even if the sun never shines.
 All-star collections are never to be desired by a baseball manager. Just as actors, each wants all the limelght The art of self-sacrifice for the good of the team is unknown to the star, whether on the stage or the diamond.
 Perhaps the most elf-sacrificing star in baseball today is Walter John- son, though Iris Speaker leads him close race. Each would gladly throw away a possible record if by so doing he could assure success to his team. Babe Ruth, tis needless to say, does not answer this description. Neither does Carl Mays.

the collective force of this request, which is the expression not only of the feeling of indignation of the victims but of the demands for justice made by the con- science of humanity as whole
 The Netherlands government surely has not forgotten that the policy and personal actions of the man required for judgment by the powers have cost the lives of approximately ten million men, murdered in their prime, and have been responsible for the mutilation or shat tered health of three times as many, the laying waste to and the destruction of millions of square miles of territory in countries formerly industrious, peace able and happy and the piling up of war debts running into billions, the victims being men who has defended their free dom, and, incidentally that of Holland
 Economic and social existence of all these nations should be thrown into con- fusion, and they are now jeopardize6 by famine and want-the terrible results of that war of which William II was the author.
 "rhe allies cannot conceal their sur prise at finding in the Dutch reply no single word of disapproval of the crimes committed by the emperor, crimes which outrage the most elementary sentiments of humanity and civilization, ani Of which in particular. so many Dutch Da- tionals themselves have been the inno- cent victims on the high seas. To help bring to justice the author of such crimes plainly assorts with the aims of the League of Nations.
 How can any one fail to be impressed by the reactionary manifestations which have followed the refusal of Holland, and the dangerous announcement to all those who are opposing the just punish n1ent or chastisement of the culprits and their exemplary condemnation, whatever their social position?
 Holland, whose history tells of long struggles for liberty. who has suffered so grievously through disregai5 for jus tice, could not place herself by such narrow conception of her duties of the committee of nations.
 "A duty which none can avoid for national reasons, however weighty they may be, is to unite in order to mete out exemplary punishment to responsible au- thors of the disasters and abominations of the war and endeavor to revive con captions of solidarity and humanity in the German nation. which is still un- convinced of the falsity of the tenets of
