PARIS EDITORS PROTESTED.
Against Postponement of the Spa Con-
ference to June 10.

Paris, Nav 6.-Reports of a possible
postponement of the Spa conference
between allied and German delegates
from Nav 25 to June 10, have ,aused
universal protest from editors OF
newspapers here. They fear the meet
ing may be deferred indefinitely. Fre-
mier Millerands visit TO London next
week for the purpose OF confefring
with Premier Lloyd George as to in
demnity payments will be important,
il is indicated. as the British premier
is believed to favor the payment of a
lump sum by Germany in place of the
present plan, by which the allies would
be paid an indeterminate amount.
The Germans have made no formal
request for the postponement OF the
conference, but the question was raised
informally by DIR. Mayer, the German
charge, during his conversation with
Premier Millerand on Thursday. The
charge intimated that such a request
might be made
Ii is pointed out in official circles
that If the Spa meeting should be held
up pending the result Of the German
elections. delay of several months
might ensue, the belief being advanced
that if a postponement were allowed
now the Germans would not only want
to wait until after Reichstay elections
on June 10, but until date subse-
quent to the presidential election,
weeks or months later.
One theory advanced here is, that the
Berlin government was disappointed at
the result of the San Reno conference,
and that it prefers to go into the cleo
tion campaign without having previous
ly risked the results of the Spa con
ference, which might rob the German
people of all illusion as to the revision
OF the treaty of Versailles and cause
dissatisfaction with the government.

DEFIES LABOR UNIONS
FRENCH PREMIER DISSOLVES
WORKERS ORGANIZATION.
Leader in Flight as Warrants Are Or
dered for Arrest of Radical
Heads.

Paris, May 12-With JOunaux,
"czar of French labor" in flight, and
that vast organization of French work
ers which he heads, the General Fed
Grafton of Labor, dissolved by the gov
eminent, no one is able to prophesy
the eventualities which the next 4S
hours may develop in France.
Premier Millerand has decided to
accept the gage of battle flung down
by the unions. He has ordered the is
suance of warrants for the arrest of
the radical labor heads, and virtually
challenged Frances organized labor
to do it's worst.
The situation was brought % eli
max by Jouhaux's order for general
strike of the electrical and water
works employees which, if Obeyed,
would plunge this capital into dark
ness, deprive it of its water supply,
hold up all transportation and Omi-
nously intensity the danger of riots.
AS far as is known, the great mass
Of the French public favOrs the stand
Premier Millerand is taking, but there
is a threatening sullen silence on the
part of the huge labOring masses,
who are striking in practically every
industry in France, including railways,
docks, mines, shipyards, auto and air
plane works, metal factories and trans
portation. All ports are tied up.
Some trains are running, being oper-
ated principally by volunteers from
schools, colleges and the ranks of So
ciety. These volunteers also are run
ming some motorbusseS and street
cars.
