 Personally. believe the convention will be singularly free from any at tempts from any quarter to influence it's deliberations or to give direction to it's action"
 Mr Colby said he was sure there would be some allusion made to the treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations and as far as l am concerned personal- ly, believe that the party should go before the people with definite stand for the adoption of the treaty. he said. "I am for the League of Nations with out reservations, because th< language of the document is quite clear

RAIL LABOR BOARD ASKED BY WILSON
 ID SPEED DECISION
Forceful Message Results From Unrest Among the Workers and Walk
 out of Yardmen
By Associated Prsss

Washington, June 23.-The railroad la bor board at Chicago has been ur- gently requested by President Wilson to expedite its wage decision.
 The Presidents message resulted from the general unrest among railroad workers over the wage question and the walk -out of yardmen and other and other cities. It's text was not made public. but unoffioially 1t was de- scribed as being of "a forceful charac- ter"
 Soon after the White House an nouncement of the Presidents action, w. N. Doak. vice president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. is- sred a warning that unless there was settlement of the now year-old wage controversy by the end of this week, the situation probably would be much verse than at present.
 The railroad labor board, Mir. Doak said, lis wholly responsible for the present bad situation" He added that the chiefs of the railroad brotherhoods desired the public to know that this much -heralded and advocated method of adjusting questions os this charac- ter, according to the present indica- tions. is rank and hopeless failure
 At the same time, Secretary Wilson of the department of labor declared in a formal statement that while the labor board had had big task to perform it could render no better public serv- ice in the existing situation than by coming to a speedier determination of the questions at issue before It."
 WORK FRS EXTREMELY PATIENT
 The labor secretary said the railroad workers had been extremely patient un- der manifold difficulties and that it would be great victory for them and their official spokesmen If they con tinue to exercise the same patience and the same courage until the railroad la bor board has reached a decision, which everybody hopes will be at an early date"
 Mr. Doak. in his statement, said the railroad labor organizations had done everything reasonable to keep transpor- tation moving and that they were now considering means to assist in every manner in preventing workmen from leaving the service of the railroads. but that they knew full well that the men must be given substantial pay increases before their efforts could be successful.
 The railroad labor board, he continued, had been told of the seriousness of the situation and urged. begged and pleaded with to meet the wage question, but they apparently are not alive to t11eir dutless and responsibilities Secretary Wilson, in making public his statement, denied that the railroad strike had been discussed at the meeting of the cabinet with President Wilson yesterday or that action on the strike was delayed after he had declared that the situation was so improved that steps by the gov ernment were unnecessary.
 After the cabinet meeting Secretary Payne, who now is head of the railroad administration. stated In the presence of Secretary Wilson that he had made a. report to the President on the strike sit uation, but that no action was taken after Secretary Wilson had stated that the situation was improving

BAN TO BE RAISED BY
FRANCE ON CERTAIN
KINDS IMPORTS

Paris, July 16.-The prohibition
upon certain imports into France
instituted by the decree of April
% is about to be removed except
ing as it affects some articles es-
sentially luurious in character, ac-
cording to the Echo de Paris today.
This action is to be taken, it says,
because the decree is considered to
have accomplished its purpose OF
bringing down exchange from its
high point. With the abrogation OF
the decree the customs taxes on a
number of articles will be raised, in
keeping with the rise in prices.
