THE ALLIES MAY
WITHHOLD FOOD
FROM GERMANY
All the Allied Powers Con-
cerned in Matter Have
Assented to the New Rep
reservations, Italy Being
the Last to Lend Her
Approval.

San Reno, April 20 (By the Associ
ated Press The premiers of the al
lied powers in conference here, al
though busy with the problems of the
Turkish peace treaty, have found time
10 resume the conversation begun Sun
day afternoon upon what warning ol
ultmatum shall be sent to Germany
respecting the execution of the treaty
of Versailles. 1t does not appear. how
ever, that their consultations have led
them beyond an agreement in princi.
pie that something of mandatory
character must be sent 10 the Berlin
government, differences in view as to
the exact nature persisting.
Premier Lloyd George, it is under.
stood, is holding tenaciously to the
View that economic penalties shall be
imposed If Germany does not conform
to the treaty's terms. The French con
tention, on the other hand. is declared
to be that it would be more cruel to
cease sending food supplies into Ger
many and put stop TO her industries
by shutting off raw materials. than to
occupy few districts with allied
troops until Germany changed her at
titude.
From the standpoint Of internal or.
der in Germany. the French statesmen
also consider that limiting food and
trying to prevent the factories from
working would be more dangerous than
restricted occupation. Premier Nitti
supports Mr.. lloyd George. That is
the situation on that question this
morning,
The council continued its cxamina-
tion Of the Turkish treaty al the for.
nal session. An official statement is
sued by the premiers SAYS:
This morning the conference dis
cussed and approved the financial
clauses of the Turkish treaty. The
conference afterwards discussed the
Armenian territorial question, especial
~ the frontier question. Before ad
journing the conference took up the
question of Batum.'
Paris. April 20. (By the Associ.
ated Press All the allied powers con-
cerned now have approved the princi-
pie Of collective representations to be
made TO the Berlin government re-
gardinr the execution of the treaty Of
Versailles. and the charges d'affsircs
of the several allied nations will prob
ably be instructed to call at once at
the Wilhclmstrasse and deliver the
declaration. Italys approval of the
representations which had not imme- |

to propose peace to tn Austrian Minister

commander in chief of the Italian ar
mics at that time The generals statement
Is made in the course of an emphatic
13enla! OF assertions contained in a pub

Charles OF Austria to his cousin. Prince
S SD or Bourbon; Italy. according to
the letter. was willing to make peace
and receive only that part Of the Tren-
tino inhabited by Italians.
The Italian government" tho general
says, would never have availed itself
OF my services for negotiations OF a
strictly political character, nor would
have taken the initiative in such an affair
without authorization from the govern
ment. II Ia unnecessary to call attention
to the fact that L have always insisted

BRITISH RAILWAY
WORKERS REJECT
GOVERNMENT OFFER
Vote Against Plan Providing
100 Per Cent Increase of
Paw Over Pre-War Rate.

LONDON Sunday (by the Associated
Press.-The governments offer to the rail-
way men. made public tonight, which con-
eeded considerable advances in wages. was
rejected later at mass meetings of the
railway men held in the east end of Lon
don and at North Hampton. The men de-
cided that the offer was unsatisfactory.
The plan of the government was the
same as that unofficially reported last
weew, except that GO shillings a week was
10 be regarded as the average minimum
wage for the different grades of workers,
SCG1e grades being paid as low as sc shil-
rngs and others higher rates. Taking the
situation as whole, the increase offered
was 100 per cent over the pre-war rate.
Under the plan should the cost of living
increase before next September wages
would be raised l shilling for every per
cent in the rise in prices. After Septem-
Der there would be sliding scale, varying
with the cost of living.
Another important point provided for the
creation OF a central wages board, five
members of which were to represent the
railway administrative and five mem
bers the the unions. The board would
deal with any further conditions of SER
vice which might arise. If the board was
unable to effect a settlement the disputed
points would be referred to a national
wages board. consisting of four represent
atives each OF the railway companies the
unions and the users OF the railways
James Henry Thomas, general secretary
OF the National Union of Raiwaymen ad-
dressing a mass meeting OF the railway
men at Birmingham today. advised his
hearers to accept the governments terms
He said the offer would be retroactive
from January !. and that every man
covered by the settlement would obtain a
bonus OF 20 shillinss in addition. The eff.
feet of the plan. he continued, would be
that thousands OF men would receive an
advance OF from to II shillings weekly,
while all the men would receive some
benefit.
The sliding scale after September, Mr..
Thomas said. would be operative upward
or downward, according as the cost of liv-
Ing varied. at the rate of q shilling for
each per cent movement. the present
cost of living being estimated at l25 Der
cent above pre-war rates.
Though the settlement was not an that
might be desired. Mr.. Thomas said. the
men might make a profound mistake to
rspect such an opportunity for establish
ing the hest machinery possible to secure
justice and fair play.
