NEW ANGLE IN

Statement Sent In Reply to
Resolution Asking If Under

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-President
Wilson's statement to the senate dis
closing he had entered into tenta-
tive agreement at Paris whereby the
United States would pay the repara-
ton commission, the difference be-
tween the nations merchant tonnage
lost during the war, and the apprais-
ed value of seized German ships, gave
a new angle today to informal discus
sion in congress of the ship contro-
versy precipitated by recent efforts of
the shipping board to dispose of the
fleet of thirty former German passen-
ger liners.
Existence of the agreement, not
hitherto made public, was disclosed
by the President in q communication
fatty denying that he had entered into
any agreement or understanding with
British officials concerning disposition
of the seized ships. The statement
was sent to the senate In reply to a
resolution by Senator Brandagee. Re
publican, Connecticut. asking If 1t
were true that such an understand
ing existed.
In explaining the agreement the
President stated it was conditioned
upon the approval of congress and
in no case would the title of the ships
held by this country pass from the
that all nations who came into pos
session of ships through capture or
seizure should, after indemnifying
themselves against merchant tonnage
losses during the war, put into the
common pool the difference between
their losses and the value of the
ships, provided, Of course, the ships
so held exceeded the losses.
This pool was to be applied to the
German reparation fund by the COM
mission created by tho peace treaty.
While the negotiations for the sale
of the passenger ships have been
called off, Chairman Payne of the
shipping board today was going
ahead on plans for the sale OF the
former German cargo vessels. Bids
have been invited, Chairman Payne

the tendency of Americans to resent

MEN PROTEST To
RAILROAD BILL
Present Memorial to President
Opposing its Passage
By The Associated Press.


WA SHINGTON. Feb. 21.-- Repres-
entatives of brotherhoods who con-
ferred with President Wilson recently
on wage demands, called at the White
House today to present a mem orial
to the President, protesting against
the passage of the railroad bill and
stating the labor provisions are wholly
unacceptable to the railroad workers
Assurance was given railroad labor
organizations today by the railroad
administration that return of the
roads March 1 would not affect nego-
tiations pending as to Interpretation
of the various wage agreements
which were made with the labor
group during federal control.
Director General Hines announced
that while the divisions of operation
and labor as such would be discon-
tinued March l representatives Of
the railroad administration would
carry to a conclusion consideration of
all grievances. He named c. s. Lake
and J. A. Franklin as his assistants
to supervise and recommend final
disposition OF these questions.
Many of these labor demands pro-
vide for retroactive pay. In view
of this Mr.. Hines has authorized rail-
road boards of adjustment to con-
tinue to receive and hear questions
which ordinarily would come to them
for settlement under existing wage
agreements.

B|GPROJECTS
PLANNED HERE
Question Of Finances VIII be
Drawback in Cases
BIG REQUEST FOR EDUCATION
Public Comfort Station, Streets
and Other Improvements
Are Considered
BIG REQUEST FOR EDUCATION

Several big propositions are now
before the Board OF Aldermen for
consideration. and although the ques-
ton of financing them will prove in
some instances a drawback to carry
ing out the proposed plan, it is ex-
pected that some decision Will be
reached by the city fathers as to what
allotments to make for the different
work either at their regular meeting
next Monday night or at the commit
tee session on Friday night.
The biggest item before the alder
men at present is the request of the
Board of Education for $450,000,
with which to erect a new school in
Hall avenue. The Board of School
sidered the matter of appropriating
from 100000 to $250.000 this year
for this week and the remainder next
year. 1t is estimated that the city
has approximately 100000 for all
improvement work during 1920.
Should the request of the school
board for the entire amount be grant
ed this would leave but $4,000 with
which to make street and other i'm
provements.
If 100000 or S25O,00O are allowed
the school board there will be $780,
900 of 100000 to finance the other
Improvements chief among which are
High street, Gordon street and Laurie
street. The Herbert street pavement
has a.so been mentioned.
In addition to these street improve
ments there Is the matter of building
a comfort station at Smith street and
New Brunswick avenue. This matter
iJ progressing and the financing OF
1t will cost considerable although no
estimate has been made public as
yet.
Another matter before the alder
men Is the erection of a permanent
municipal garage on the city-owned
property adjoining the poor house
tract and the grading and improving
of that property so that the CITY
stables might be moved there.
AS there are other improvement
which are scheduled to be made this
year 1t will be necessary for the alder
men at their next meeting to decide
upon what moneys they can spend
this year for improvements and then
just what work this money will cover
The matter Of financing the erec-
ton of forty million gallon water
reservoir will not In any way depend
upon the amount available at present
for improvements as this money
would be secured through separate
bond issue covering the cost or erec-
ton. 1t was estimated in 1918 that
the work at that time would cost
approximately 100000 and 1t Is the
general belief now that the work
would mean the expenditure of mil
lion dollars.
This work is considered essential by
the Board of Water Commissioners
and also by Mayor Frank Dorsey, and
as 1t would take two years in which
to complete the work, it is likely that
immediate action towards the financ-
ing of this proposition will be con-
sidered. This matter will be brought
before the Aldermen at their next
meeting by Mayor Dorsey.
