Government"
Thus Washington d. Vanderlip
whose activities have been watched
by several countries. answered the
criticisms of his Russian trade terri
torial concessions in an interview at
the Carlton Hotel. He was quietly
amused over the suspecting attitude
of the majority of the British and
Swedish press.
TRADING TO START SOON
Mr., Vanderlip, who is acting on
behalf of purely Pacific coast capital,
declared he would show authentic

Mr.. Vanderlip denied he had said he
had the backing of President-elect
Harding or that he undertook his
mission to Russia in behalf of the
President-elect. but he emphasized
again his positiveness that Congress
would reopen the Russian trade to
Americans. He said:
Russia is. glad that the United
States is to have a Republic admin

Soviet Chief Tells Britain He

BY LOUISE BRYANT.
International News Service.

MOSCOW, Nov. 18 (By wireless
to Berlin), Nov. 22.-George Tchlt'
cherin, peoples commssar for for
eign affairs in the Soviet govern
ment, today addressed sharp note
to the British government through
Earl Curzon, the British foreign
secretary, warning Great Britain
not to occupy Batum, on the Black
sea.
SOUNDS OMINOUs WARNING.
The note says. in effect, that in
formation has reached the Soviet gov
ernment that the British intend 10
occupy Batum, and that the SOVIET
government wishes TO convey warn
ing in advance that II will regard
such an act as one OF aggression
against the new state Of Azerbaijan.
II Great Britain attempts to oc-
cupy Batum, continues the note, So
Wet Russia will take all necessary
steps" The note states further that
the Soviet government would regard
a move toward British occupation OF
Batum as evidence that the British
government does not intend to let
Russia workers labor in peace, but
will continue to incitc counter rev.
olutionary plots.
Hope was expressed by the Soviet
that the British govern
ment does not contemplate any hos
tile acts, but If il does, says the doc
ument, 1.-The outcome will rest alto
gether upon the British government.

The International News Service
interviewed a number
of high Soviet officials today, and
all agreed that active counter revolu-
tionary movements against Russia
are now practically a dead issue.
Soviet officials expressed the belief
that General Petlura and General
Balachovitch can easily be disposed
of unless they are openly aided by
the Poles. But even II Poland gave
aid, said the officials. the outcome
would not necessarily be disastrous
for the Moscow government.
The only real cloud upon the hori-
zon, officials declare, is the report
that the British intend to occupy
Batum. II such situation arises.

PAY CUTS ARE
URGED IN BILL
Substitute Revision Measure
Would Reduce Some Classes
BY 40 Per Cent.
OTHER CHANGES. RUMORED
Complete Details Being With
held Pending Conferences
With Steering Committee.

Sweeping reductions in the num-
her of classes of Government posi-
rions-which will reduce very ma
!erially the maximum salaries Of
Federal employees in wholesale num-
bers-are recommended in the new
:'eclassification bill that will be Of
rered as a substitute for the Jones
bill now before the Senate.
Officials here believt that in spite
of theh terms of the bill there will
be little or no decrease in the total
Government payroll.
Opposition to the reclassifcation
bill in Congress, it is believed, is
likely to defeat all major decreases
in salary.
PLAN 40 PER CENT CUT.
Announcement that the number Of
classes originally found to be 1000,
will be reduced by at least 40 per cent
was made today upon the completion
of the new bill, which is now in the
nands Of Congressman Lehlbach,
chairman of the Committee on Civil
Service and Retrenchmeht OF the
louise.
This is the first intimation of such
drastic changes in the Redistribution
recommendations.
1t was announced that the bill oro-
vides other recommendations for
changes in the reclassification of Fed
Cral employees, less drastic in nature,
nut nevertheless affecting the status
IF large numbers of employees.
Owing to the fact that the bill nay
-, changed to meet the plans Of the
steering committee, with which Con-
FRESHMAN Lehlbach Is now comforting

being withheld for the present.
The plans of the steering commit
tee, it was said, have not been made
l>ublic, and it is possible many changes
viii be made in the recommendations
l.efore the bill is whipped into final
:nape.
MEANS MINIMUM PAY.
1t Is not possible to estimate the
number of employees ,.ie proposed
reductions will affect, but a cut of at
least 40 per cent in the number Of
classes of positions means result
ing reduction in the range of salaries
from minimum to maximum.
Announcement was made that the
..ut in classes will affect those. bold
.ns technical positions more than any
others.
When the Reclassfication Commits
sion and experts who have been pre-
pairing the data upon which the new
bill is based classified the positions
under the Government service, it was
found that there were approximately
1000.
For reasons OF economy and fcxi-
niIity II was decided to make n
sweeping reduction.
The salary schedule as originally
planned has been reduced in like
number to conform with the cut in
positions.
WILL ASK READJUsTMENT.
Government employees were aroused
today when the proposed changes In
the salary schedule became known.
Attempts will be made to get a read
justment when the bill is taken up in
committee.
The new bill practically was COM
nleted Saturday. 1t Is the result of a
series of conferences between experts
called in by the Reconsideration Com
mission and the Bureau OF Efficiency,
aided in the work by the National
Federation of Federal Employees.

Western Union Seeks Injunction
To Permit Laying Of Line
In Florida.

Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the
Navy, was named defendant in suit
filed in the District Supreme Court
today by the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, which asks for an
injunction TO prevent the former
from interfering with the construc-
tion of a cable line between Miami

The telegraph company also re-
quests the court that the Secretary OF
the Navy be directed to instruct his
subordinates to cease from threaten
ing to destroy the CABLE IL already
constructed and laid.
1t is declared by the company that
the cable which is now being laid Is
in the nature OF replacement OF an
existing line which has been In oper-
alton since 1899 and is q distinct and
separate enterprise from the so-called
Barbadoes cable. the laying OF which
was prevented last spring by United
States warship which was sent to the
scene OF operations for that purpose.
The court Is informed that 100000
has already been spent in the work in
money will go for nothing unless an
injunction is granted as prayed for.
The telegraph company, represented
by Attorney Paul +. Lesh, declares
that 1t has the right to construct the
cable mentioned in the petition under
the authority of the act of Congress
Of 1866 and also under a permit is
sued by the Secretary OF War granted
under the act of Congress after the
company's plans had been. approved
by the Secretary OF War.

When the time came to connect the
lines between the sides of the two
drawbridges in the causeway Admiral
Anderson ordered the employees of the

Department had approved the plans

The court is advised that when
Secretary Bakers permit to proceed

advised that the work would not be
