SING RED FLAG
British LabOrs' Council OF
Action to Dictate Terms.
Threaten Paralysis of Industry
in Support of BOIsheviki.

London, Aug. 14.-Labor's Council
of action" remained in session here
today to dictate to the government in
its dealings with Russia.
Meeting at a hail within a short
distance of the houses of parliament
the laborites appeared to be in a posi-
ton to veto any action commons may
take and to force the government to
mould its Russian policy as the work
ers desire, on threat of paralyzing the
nation by a general strike.
During the meeting of the labor
congress at which full powers were
delegated to the council of action"
to declare a general strike, the audi
ence sang THE Red Flag" and other
revolutionary songs, hooted France,
cheered the Bolsheviki and discussed
the sending of a message of congratu-
lation to the Russians on the peace
terms they have rendered Poland,
which the delegates understood guar
anteed Poland's independence
Meanwhile, Premier Lloyd George
was said to be conducting quiet nego-
tiatiOns with Premier Millerand in an
effort to get France and Britain to-
gether again on a united Russian
policy. It was believed there was lit
however. 1t was declared at Downing
street that Lloyd George would not
confer with Millerand over the week
end as had been generally expected.
Lloyd George is going out of town on
a holiday trip. King George plans to
go to Balmoral on Monday for the
shooting.
The house of commons is scheduled
to adjourn Monday.

WOULD QUIT DRY
Villa Selects Tiny Village for
Scene of Surrender.
Disarmament of Famous Bandit
Gang Is Postponed.
CHIEF FEARS NATIVE ATTACK
Also Wants $50 Followers for
His Ranch Force.
EederalS Fear Plan - Would
Give Villa Too Strong Force.

Torreon, Chihuahua, Aug. 14-Ru-
mors of hitch in the plans for COM
plete surrender of Francisco Villa and
rehabilitation of his army were cir
culated here today. The disarmament
and disbanding of Villas force at
Tiahualilo Durango has been post
poned for week. Gen. Eugenio Mar
tnez and the government representa-
dves in the surrender negotiations
suddenly returned to Mexico City.
The reports of a break were denied
by Mariners chief of staff and by
Villa. According to the chief of staff.
Martinez found 1t necessary to go to
Mexico City to confer with President
De la Huerta on the details of the
final surrender and also to get money
to pay each of the 500 Villistas
years wage, amounting to about 900,-
600 pesos.
II was learned. however, that Mar
tinez disagreed with the proposal that
in addition to the armed guard of fifty
men which the government allows
Villa to retain, he sould also take $50
more reformed bandits to his ranch
as farm laborers. Martinez pointed
out that under such an arrangement.
Villa would always have 200 retainers
at his disposal and could go on the
warpath whenever he felt like it. The
government has already consented to
the NiIlista officers totaling $50 keep
ing their weapons and ammunition.
At Villas request, the tiny village OF
Tlahualilo Durango w>s chosen for
the final surrender and it will be staged
there unless hOstilities are resumed
during the coming week or unless
PanchO changes his mind again. The
place selected is a tiny village at the
end OF a railroad line in the extreme

Villa evidently desired the final
ceremonies to be held in some isolated
place. vetoing suggestions that his men
lay down their arms a Torreon or
Gomez Palacio. where large crowds
could see the. famous Villistas surren-
dering.
villa is believed to fear that If his
men are disarmed in the presence OF d
big crowd they may be attacked. This
whole district has suffered from his
raids and many of the people would
like to see him dead.
