Paris. Nov. 20.-Diffcrences between
Great Britain and France do not
amount to quarrel. and the views OF
these two nations have in no way prcj-

Lloyd George. in an interview at Lon

the Petit Parisien.
Mr.. Lloyd George declared that, re-

There are always some people who
pick quarrels," said the premier in re

that French public opinion was badly
impressed by what France believed TO
be the British attitude on questions vital
to this country.
There is no quarrel, however, and
you have just told me there were no

French or British side, that can sluckcn

R. R. VICTIMS WIN
ACCIDENT AWARDS
Phila. Claimants, Killed or In
jured in N. J. Grade Crossing
Crash, Victors in Suits
APPEAL is EXPECTED %

Verdcts ranging from $3.50 to
SS000 were awarded today to each of
the seven Philadelphia claimants for
damages. as the result Of the grade
crossing accident which occurred more
than year ago at Clarksboro. y. j.,
when seven Philadelphians were either
killed or injured when tho auto truck
in which they were driving was struck
by a train OF the West jersey and sea
shore Railroad
These verdcts were rendered by II
single jury in the Gloucester County
Circuit Court at Woodbury., y. ]. The
hearings started on Tuesday before
Judge Ralph Dongcs. Tho claimants
were represented by Attorney Alber,
Woodruff, Of Camden, who conducted
all the cases. 1t is believed that the
cailroad company will take an appeal
from the vcrdicts.
The verdlcts awarded by the jury
we're as follows:
Elizoieth Brown. administrator for
the estate of Martha McAdams, S40OO.
Thomas Brown. who was injured,
$4,000.
August Frien. administrator for the
estate Of a. j. Friend, $1,000

one Of the leaders. They suggest that
Gompers is seeking to reassure capital,
Hoover enjoying the confidence Of capt.
tai to an extraordinary degree, They
invite public approval Of Gompers' pres
ent intentions. Az Hoover possesses a
high measure of public regard, they
give publicity to the meeting Of the
Gompers executive counsel, and the
Gompers moves to clean house make ms
organization conservative.
Point to Hoover for Cabinet Job
They suggest. moreover, the posi-
bility Of Herbert Hoover for secretary
of labor in President Harding's cabinet.
IL Hoover comes, as a result of these
meetings in Washington, to stand be-
fore the country as conciliator of labor
and capital. his consideration for the
post of secretary Of labor becomes in
evitable.
Perhaps Gompers would like to see
him secretary Of labor. Gompers might
easily face secretary of labor much
more unfriendly than Hoover. Hoover,
at least. stands for the right to strike.
And. il Hoover should be appointed,
Gompers could turn to his organization
and say that. at least, he was person q.
ally acquainted with some one In the
new administration.
Gompers' power in his own organiaa =
tion has always depended upon his abil- =
ity TO make labor think he has influence
with the administration. and make the
administration and business feel that he
was a moderating influence in the coun =
ellis of labor.
lie is fighting cleverly to rc-estab-
lish himself in that role. II he succeeds,
it will be good thing for the country,
for he can only do SO by making labor
genuinely moderate and rcgardful o,
public opinion.
Gompers Has De6nite Policy
If he succeeds. IL will make little diff
ference whether the election among the
coal miners goes against his friend
Lewis or not. II Gompcrs' enemies out
number his supporters in the fedora =
ton, they will not be able to accomplish
much through their members. Gompers
is at least trying to have a policy, one
Of living with the Republican party and
living with capital. His enemies will
have no policy. except that of bis
strikes, and it will be no time for big
strikes.
Will the railroad brotherhoods turn
against Gompers? He hopes to bt
able to say that he alone stands be.
tween them and the anti strike legisla
ton Senator Cummins proposes.
Will the Republican party address Il
him deaf ear? lie hopes to make tn,
Republican party feel that he nlon,
keeps labor conservative.
Will capital press for the open shop
lie hopes to make capital regard him a.
the lesser evil. TO be chosen along will

ducr efficiently.
OF such stuff dreams are made!
