QUESTION is ON All
(sy AssocIatee sress.l

Brussels, Oct. 22.-Proceedings of the
council of the league of nations, in ses-
sion here, have been obstructed by diff
ferences OF opinion over the iurisdic
tion of the proposed international
courS of justice. The council is full
day behind its schedule, but consid-
cradle headway was made today on
the reports which are being prepared
for the general assembly of the league
at Geneva next month.
The Scandinavian countries raised a
difficult question by objecting to the
clause in the international court plan
which fixes the courts jurisdiction. 1t
was proposed that the court have jur-
isdiction in any case in which any
one party to the dispute appealed to
the covenant Of the league of nations
itself.
They proposed an amendment pro-
yiding that the court have Jurisdiction
only in cases in which both parties
appealed to it.
No settlement has yet been reached,
but the tendency of the discussions
is toward the substitution of a clause
which would be unquestionably in
harmony with Articles IL to 10 of the
covenant.
The question of ways and means for
its own support was taken up by the
council this afternoon in the absence
of Leon Bourgeois. who was fatigued
by the repeated conferences and also
the social attentions being paid the
council.
Washington, Oct 22.-The United
States has accepted the invitation of
the league of nations to appoint a
member to the commission consider
ing the Aland Island dispute between.

COMPTROLLER
IS CONDEMNED
Bankers Show Hostility Toward
Utterances Concerning Un-
fair Interest Rates.
tey Associates Press,

Washington, Oct. 22.-Controversy
over charges made by John Shelton
Williams, comptroller of the currency
against certain New York bankers
came to head today at the concluding
session of the American Bankers as
sociation convention with the adop-
ton of resolution condemning ut
terances of an unnamed individual
Action was taken over the protests of
several member bankers, who argued
that the controversy was between the
comptroller and the New York bank
ers and in no way affected the associa-
ton.
The resolution declared that if such
misleading differences were made for
personal qualification or profit, they
cannot be too severely denounced 1t
added that the utterances complained
of had created an unfounded hostility
between bankers and the publicI and
deplored such a destruction of public
confidence.
Coincidentally with the adoption of
the resolution, Mr. williams renewed
his charges in a formal statement
which declared the defense of the al
L
had been feeble
Reading of the report of the resolu-
tions committee by Francis H Sisson,
New York, opened the counter attack
on Mr.. Williams in the convention, as
well-a his defense by several speakers.
His principal supporter was D. F.
Guinan, of Mahoney, Pa who assert
ed that Mr.. Williams was the most
efficient and faithful comptroller of
the currency ever in office"
He called upon the convention to
disregard the controversy as a private
quarrel, saying that members of the
association had no way of ascertaining
whether there was truth in the charges.
Kisses greeted the reference to the
comptroller's efficiency.
j. w. Kehoe, of Marysville. XIV. in
reply asserted that Mr. Williams had
hurled the charges into the face of US
He added, If we make any changes in
the resolution, let's make it stronger"
The convention received the report
of its committee on trade acceptances
headed by Jerome Thralls. of New
York, which urged American business
men to clinch leadership in world com
merce established during the war. Mr..
Thralls said that the idea of loaning
money on demand notes and with trade
acceptances as collateral was growing
in favor and constituted a means for
both bankers and business men to
maintain, if not increase, their grin
on international trade

tinuing Unbroken.
RAIL STRIKE is POSTPONED
Ministry of Transport Has
Emergency Plan When
Strike is Called.
fsy AssoeIated Press.l

London, Oct. 22.-The strike situa.
ton tonight was considered more
hopeful by the fact that the peace
conversations between the govern
ment and the miners leaders are con-
tinuing unbroken. There were no new
developments, however.
At a joint conference tomorrow be-
tween the rail men and the miners
from which it is hoped peace may
spring, it is expected the suggestion
will be made that the rail men post
pone their strike, set for Sunday night
should there be no agreement between
the government and the miners by
Saturday until after Wednesday S

The greatest anxiety exists among
Londoners. for if the rail strike be-
comes effective Sunday night the un-
derround tube railways will cease
working. 1t is possible also that the
trans and busses whose drivers are
members of the Transport Workers
Union will supend operations. The bus
and tram drivers, however, have ex-
pressed themselves as reluctant to
join the movement.
There is division among the rail-
road men with regard to strike. a
section of them opposing it. j. H
Thomas, general secretary of the Ma
tional Union of Railway Men, has au-
thorized the statement that he is
against the strike.
general opinion that there will not, in
any case, be a rail strike before
Wednesday, but should it transpire,
the ministry of transport has an emer-
gency plan in readiness for immedi-
ate operation of the railways by vol
unteers and all machinery created for
the purpose during last years strike
will be utilized.

terest in the future status of German
cables seized by the allies in 1914, ii
was indicated today by officials, at
taches to the disposition of Pacific
cables centering about the Island OF
zap, as well as to the trans Atlantic
lines.
Disposition of the cables is now be-
ing considered by subcommittee as
one of the principal questions between
the International Communication Con-
ference in session here and the re-
spsctive claims of the five allied and
associated powers represented at the
conference have recently been pre-
sented.
1t is not known whether Japan has
submitted a claim for the Island OF
Yap, the principal center of cable
communication in the Pacific and
which Japan, now holds together with
the German cables radiating from it
to the Dutch East Indies, Guam and
Shanghai.
President Wilson announced to the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
in 1919, that he had made an ex-
press reservation at Paris that final
disposition of the Island should be re-
SeTN6Q LOT the lnleTndLlOndl COM
munication Conference.
japan is known however, to have
taken the position that the island of
zap accrued to her by reason of the
mandate awarded Japan by the peace
conference over all German islands
in the Pacific. north of the equator.
While no official statement of the
American position has been made,
American delegates to the conference
are known to advocate recognition by
Japan of the equal rights of all coun-
tries to unrestricted use of the cables
passing through the Island.
1t is understood that the United
States probably will renounce all
claims to German trans Atlantic ca
bles now held by France and Great
Britain The only cable possession of
which is thought likely to be made
subject of discussion by the American
commissioners is believed to be that
extending from the West coast of
Africa to the East coast of South
America or from Monrovia to Per-
nambuco.
Plans for construction of cable
from New York to Genoa, via the
Azores, the New York Azores section
to be built and owned by an Amer
lean company and the remainder by
Italian interests are under considera-
ton. In time such a line might be
connected with Brazil Africa cable
