Is typical Of life in the East. Every

RAIL TROUBLE
Up TO WILSON
Payne Asks President to Outline
Policy to Prevent Further
Disturbances.

A detailed report OF the grievances
OF tailroad men, which led to walk
outs in Philadelphia, Baltimore and
elsewhere. was presented TO President
Wilson today by John Barton Payne,
Director General OF Railroads, follow
ing conferences between Mr.. Payne
and representatives OF the Brother
hoods.
Mr.. Payne, in his report, is under
stood to have urged the necessity of
immediate action to stave OF further
serious disturbances OF railroad traf-
fic. and to have requested the Presi.
dent to outline a policy to be followed
in dealing with the situation
Since represen tatives of the Brother
hoods all along have insisted the walk
outs are merely protest against de-
lay on the part OF the Railroad Labor
Board in rendering a decision in cases
involving grievances OF the men pend
ing since April. 1919. Mr.. Payne's re-
port, it was learned today, set forth
the desirability OF an investigation
into the cause OF delay on tho part OF
the Labor Board, and urged the neces-
sity OF immediate action.

Isterustsouai News SeTvfce.

BoULOGNE, June 22.-The inter
allied conference adtourned ~ l
o'clock this afternoon without having
reached a decision on the resumption
OF commercial relations with Russia.
The decision was held UP by Premier
Millerand's insistence upon more den
mite assurances from the soviet re-
garding the payment OF Russia war
debts.
A communiaue was issued stating
that the negotiations between the
British representatives and the Boi
shevik trade delegation, headed by
Gregory Krassin, will be continued
at London on the understanding that
they will not entail political recogni-
ton Of the soviet government.
The conference failed to agree upon
the distribution OF German indemnity
among the allies and decided that ex-
perts representing France, England,
italy, Belgium and Serbia meet in
Paris and Jointly draft their demands
for submission to another inter-allied
conference, which will be held at
Brussels on July 2. The Brussels
meeting is for the purpose OF work
ing out details OF the program for the
Spa conference.
Both Premier Lloyd George and Pre-
mier Millerand said they we're thor.
oughly satisfied" with the results OF
the conference.
A new allied note. demanding the
immediate disarmament OF Germany
in accordance with the terms OF the
treaty OF Versailles, WAS sent to Ber
lin today. 1t was formally approved
by Marshal Foch and Field Marshal
sir Henry Wilson. chief OF the British
general staff.
In some quarters no secret is made
Of the fact that SO far the conference
has been barren OF results. except
for the rejection of some OF the inter
pational schemes proposed at previous
meetings OF the allied statesmen.
One OF the leading participants pri.
vately expressed his disgust to the
newspaper correspondents over the
continued impractioable debates,
which doubtless will be continued else.

Delegation Visits G. O. P. Nomi-
nee and Is Assured He will
Help Suffrage.
~ A. o. HAYWARD.
Iaterna tioaaI News Service.

Republican women leaders today
made a personal appeal to Senator
Harding. the party nominee. to use
his influence in helping to secure
ratification of the national woman's
suffrage amendment by the thirty
sixth State. so that women may vote
in the coming Presidential elections.
The women are making their drive
on the governors OF Vermont and
Connecticut. to force them to convene
extraordinary sessions of the legis-
latures of their states for action on
the amendment.
Efforts are being made. also. with
the governors OF North Carolina and
Tennessee with the hope that one OF
these States may be induced to ratify
the amendment and be the last and
necessary State to ratify the amend
ment.
EXPRESSES INTEREST.
The suffrage amendment is now
sQuarely up to you as the leader OF
the Republican party" Senator Hard
ing was told by Mrs. Lawrence
Lewis. OF Philadelphia, national rati-
fication chairman OF the Woman's
party. "On behalf of the women OF
the country. 100000 of whom are
voters under state laws, we ask Tor
a clear-cut answer. There lis neces-
sity for party action il the final
State ratification is to be secured"
Senator Harding expressed his deep
interest In the success Of the amend
ment and its final ratification in time
to permit the women to vote for Pres
idential electors at the November cleo
tions. He will use his influence in aid
of the women's cause, He pointed out
that he had supported consistently the
suffrage amendment in Congress and
In Ohio.
Mrs. Lewis said: THE governors OF
Connecticut and Vermont are Repub-
licans and supposedly in harmony
with the party's policy. BY refusing
to call sessions OF their legislatures
friendly to suffrage they are prevent.
ing millions OF women from voting.
Is this policy sanctioned by the lead
ers OF the Republican party and by
you!
"The suffrage plank frst adopted at
Chicago called upon Republican gov
ernors for special sessions to ratify
the Amendment. II was softened at
the reported objection Of the Connect.
icut delegation to q pious wish that
Republican legislatures ratify. The
stronger plank was called an insult
