 VOLUNTEER HELP

PARIS, Feb. 2S.-Trainmen and oin' CT employees on all the railway lines of France have been called out by a general strike order issued early to- day by the National Federation Of Rall- way men. Limited train service was maintained throughout the day, how ever, with the aid of men mobilized from the railway division of the army and civilians who offered thelr seI " ices.
 The ministry of public works has or ganized 8 volunteer service to replace strikers, to operate automobiles and aid in the work of vitualling.
 The national federation of railway workers tonight formally issued the conditions on which the strikers will return to work These consist of rec ognition of the union, application of the proposed erade6 wage scale, joint grievance commissions, immediate consideration of the future status of the railroads and no strike reprisals.
 The General Federation of Labor has issued a declaration asserting its solidarity with the railwaymen, affirm ing that the present situation repre- sents an attack on union rights which the law recognizes. Ut is a question of unionization of the railwaymen, or returning the roads to the public" the declaration says.
 Hastily organized private motor ser vices are making the most of the op- portunity, not knowing when the re Quisitioning law will go into effect and deprive them of the large harvest in fares they are now receiving. One chauffeur demanded 900 francs to take two passengers to Rouen, not 90 miles distant.
 Troops are arriving in Paris from provincial garrisons to protect the railroad systems. Both infantry and cavalry have been stationed to guard tracks in the suburbs.
 There is great activity at the head quarters of the general labor confed eration, where crowds are awaiting news of any description with regard to the strike.

passage of the railroad bill made it evident that I cannot act on your sug- gestions until 1t should have been determined whether the Dill would become law or not"
 Ut was manifest" the letter con tinued, that if the bill should be- come a law the negotiations and con- sideration of the wage matter ought to proceed in harmony herewith
 The bull having now become a law, the way is open for immediate action on the wage matter in accord ance with the terms of the bill. Sec tion 301 of the bill evidently con- templates that the carriers and em- ploys should, as suggested by you. select representatives who will thus constitute bipartisan board for the purpose Of attempting by conference to agree upon solution of this wage problem.
 Win Recommend Board
 Tn accordance with the assurance gave last August and repeated in substance in my letter of the 18th instant, I shall at once request the carriers and the employees to join in this action. I believe such a step will go far toward clarifying and maturing the subject for final dispo- sition.
 While it is true that the provisions of section BOT of the railroad bill re- lating to the labor board will prob ably also come into operation as to this wage matter, nevertheless the bipartisan board can make a great deal of progress which will material ly diminish the time to be consumed by the labor board, and while the bi- partisan board is functioning. the appointment and organization of the labor board can he expedited.
 T cannot share the apprehension of yourselves and your constituents as to the provisions of the law con- celning the labor board. believe those provisions are not only appro- priate In the interest of the public which after all, is principally com posed of workers and their families. but will be found to be particularly in the interest of railway employees as 9 class"
 Investing MT. Hines with the pow CT granted to the president by the bill. MT. Wilson, made one excep- tion. The president will himself later name the agent or agency of the government against whom suit may be brought to satisfy claims arising out of government control of the roads as provided in section 206 of the act.

START SHARP ATTACK IN ADR|AT|C
 ? ] OLICY
Democrats Join in Adverse Criticism of Presidents
 Adopted Stand

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.- While President Wilson was considering to- day the latest note of the allied pre- miers in the Adriatic controversy; sharp criticism of his course in the negotiations brought out in the midst of the peace treaty debate in the senate
 Not only the irreconcilable oppon- ents of the treaty, but one of the mild reservation Republicans, Sena- tor Kellogg of Minnesota, joined in the senate attack which occupied a good part Of the days session. A general defense of the president was made by Senator Hitchcock of Ne braska, the administration leader.
 It was indicated that Mr. Wilson would not long delay his reply to the allied note, which was said to have invited the United States>to join in attempting a settlement acceptable to both Jugo Slavia and Italy. The reply was expected to go forward early next week.
 The senate discussion revolved around assertions that the disagree
 
 foreign complications which would follow Americas entrance to the league of nations and that the presi- dent was seeking to interfere in the affairs of other nations without mak- ing any effort to learn whether the people of this country were behind him.
 Senator Thomas, Democrat, Cobra do. one of the treaty irreconcilables went so far as to suggest that the only way out now seems to be war in which the United tSates either must participate or else be placed Tn the position of refusing to back up the positive stard taken on behalf of the nation by the president
 The whole situation was charact erized by Senator Kellogg as "rathel discouraging' to friends of the treaty. He declared the Adriatic controversy was none of our busl ness" and that the presidents at tempt to "djctate" a decision was without justification.
 Senators Borah, Republican, Idaho and Brandegee, Republican, Connecti cut, also assailed the position taken i by the executive, the latter saying that although MT. Wilson was presum | ing to speak with a maximum oi assurance" as to what the United | States would or would not do, there was no one who really knew how even the senate stood on the proposi tion involved.

Mannus, rancher, who was passed for jury duty in the Wot- ton case several days ago. Mannus is at present under challenge~ by the defense for alleged disloyalty to the United States during the war. w. H. Burges, chief cousel for the defendants, tonight said that the perjury charge against Stevenson
 would be taken up as soon as court opens Monday afternoon. Burges
