ANOTHER EFFORT
 TO GET HEARING
Claim Recognized Unions Misrepresented
 Strikers.

Washington, April 30.---Another eff fort to gain a hearing before the rail- road labor board was made today by representatives of the non-reoognized labor board association of raHToad men who have quit their jobs.
 In a letter to Chairman Barton, of ficials of the new organizations said the recognized unions had n1isrepre- sented the strikers and they asked that the new associations of yardmen and enginemen be permitted 40 pre- sent the wage demands of the stry8- CTS.
 w. S. Garter, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen, protested against the board hearing the new organizations, declaring that if the board recog- nized men who had repudiated wage agreen ents made by the broth erho ods a premium would be placed on the violation of agreem eTtS.
 Radicals have been teaching the doctrine that labor should quit work when their demands were not acceded to despite wage agreem ents entered into by the representa.tiV of the unions, MT. Garter said, and the growth of this doctrine is resulting in the most serious situation organized labor has ever faced

FOR A CONFERENCE France and German Econo-
 mic Affairs To Be
 Discussed.

Paris, April 30-An economic con- ference between delegates represent ing France and Germany was arrang~ ed yesterday by Premier 'Millerand and Dr. Goeppert. It will probably be fheld soon in Paris.
 The conference is the outcome Of the conversations Premier Millerand had with Dr. Mayer, the German charge d'affaires here, which were in- terrupted by the entry of the German troops into the neutral zone of the Rhineland.
 The Germans showed a disposition to make the conference contingent upon evacuation of Frankfort by the French. M Millerand replied that the questions were entirely separate The conditions of the evacuation hav- ing been fixed by the San Reno con- ference, he declared they must be complied with.
 One of the first questions the French will raise at the conference is alleged discrimination against French exporters through the man ipulation of special export licenses.

MUST BE STRICT CHECK OVER ALL BANK CREDIT

New York, April 30.---The entire world must tighten its belt if there is to be enough for all, and that belt is a. strict control of bank credit with out which the world will continue to gorge itself and inf1alte, declared Paul M. Warburg, banker, discussing inf1a- ton, it's causes and remedies, before the Academy of Political Science here today.
 In summing up what he termed the practitioners advice in the case, MT. War1burg said:
 First we must fight imitation with all the means at our disposal; by ar resting the further increase of gov ernment indebtedness, and if possible reducing it.
 Second, by calling a halt in further bank credit and note issue expansion We would thereby destroy the atm osphere of easy money and paper prosperity that makes for indf- vidual and corporate extravaganza and fosters discont tent among the masses, rendering them diSincnned to give their full measure of work. This includes the most difficult task of curbing the production Of unessen- tials and of stimulating the produe- ton of essentials.
 And finally, we must fight rising prices by stimulating essential produc- ton both here and abroad, which means that We must furnish Europe with the materials required in order to rehabilitate her industries so that once more she may become self sup porting As far as this involves the granting of the further credits, il should be our determined purpose to

CANNOT REMEMBER HOW MANY WIVES HE KILLED

Huirt is alleged to have married in various parts of the country were murdered by him, two others met "accidentaP' deaths, while with him, and he might have mur- dered more,'' according to an alleged confession made public early today by J. Morgan Marmaduke, his attorney and county officials. Huirt said he "could not remember" what happened to some of the women because of his still weakened condition resulting from two attempts to commit suicide, the reputed confession said. He lay on a cot at the county hospital as he talked. Huirt has been held here sev- eral days while officers investigated reports of numerous marriages.
 He married twelve or fifteen women, probably more," Hurit was quoted as saying. A desire to kill obsessed him four years ago, Huirt was alleged to have said, and women were his especial victims, there being no direct motive for their deaths, and no desire to kill men, children or ant- mals.
