Berlin, Jan. 6.-Germany is head ing for famine, despite reassuring statements made by the government, it is declared by Former Under Sec rotary Von Braun, who five years ago was directing the official national food bureau. He predicts a repetition in Germany of the tragedy which is now being enacted at Vienna and that Der lin, Dresden, Leipzig and the west ern industrial sectio will suffer the same rate of mortality unless the government puts a halt to the heed Iessness which now characterizes the whole food administration.
 Herr Von Braun sees relief only in the direct union of producer and consumer as the government in his opinion is unable to save the situa- tion. He charges that official decla- rations are mischievous in that they are misleading abroad and create an especially wrong impression in the United States.
 We are heading directly for an abyss which will prove the graveyard of millions, unless we turn about" is the wesMsng he issues.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Bankers repre- senting clearing house associations in all parts of the country, meeting here today at the call of the federal reserve board, failed to take final action on the question of interest rates on bank bal ances, but decided to hold another conference at which it is expected an agreement may be reached to put a stop to competitive bidding between New York and inland cities for out-of- town deposits.
 At the request of the bankers. the federal reserve board tonight issued a call for a second conference at Chi cago, January 23. to be attended by three representatives from each fedora reserve district.
 A resolution adopted by the con- ference gave out the following pro- positions as the "opinions'' of the meeting:
 That the present sliding scale" for advancing or reducing interest rates is not satisfactory.
 That existing regulations should not be abrogated until more satisfactory regulations are adopted governing the rates paid on deposits.
 That the federal reserve board should always be free to establish the rate of discount without reference to any clearing house regulations as to the payment of interest.
 That payment of high rates of inter est on bank or commercial balances is unsound and is bad banking, and that every effort should should be made to avoid sHch practice.

Lewis in agreeing to accept President Wilson's proposal for set tlement of the soft coal miners strike, William Green. international secretary of the United Mine Workers declared the only other alternative was dis aster and defeat for the miners or ganization.'
 We could have whipped the coal operators, but we could not if we had wanted to whip the strongest govern ment on ,earth-our government. which had just finished whipping Germany.
 If we had not accepted President Wilson's proposal of settlement, the powers of the federal government would have been turned loose on us with greater ferocity than anything we have ever seen," Green continued. We knew we had reached the limit he asserted as the delegates, with loud applause and cheering, voiced approval of what he said.
 With every mining community in the country honeycombed with federal agents gathering evidence against our. men, our funds tied up and women and children freezing and facing starya ton, how, in the name of God. could we go on with the striker Green con tinued.

 Secretary Green and Acting Presi- dent Lewis warned the delegates that to do otherwise than to accept the proposal would not be keepin~ faith with the presidents proposal and that the commission might not make any award if the miners should decide to reserve the right to a referendum on the commissions findings Lewis ruled Harlin's amendment out of order. Both Lewis and Green stated that acceptance of the presidents pro- posal meant that the miners aoreed to abide by the decision of the presi- dents commission. Lewis declared the public and the commission are entf- tied to know whether the operators and the miners will abide by it's de- cision. If they do not agreed to abide by the decision, then there can be no arbitra don,'' Lewis said. The Dresi- dents proposal Lewis said. was predi- cated upon his belief that it would be accepted by both parties.
 Lewis will. address the convention tomorrow and then the Convention will vote ol the motion to affirm the .ac- ton of the officers.
