difficult post at Berlin issfaid today
to have been already deci&d upon by
President Harding and Secretary of
State Hughes Doctor Hill is now in
Europe. He has been there for some
weeks engaged in making an inten-
sive study of postwar conditions in
Europe, particularly with reference to
Germany. Just prior to his departure
for abroad Doctor Hill held a number
of conferences with President Hard
ing here. .
The administration felt, 1t is under
stood, that the embaEsy at Berlin, va
cant for four years, called for not only
an experienced diplomatist but also
for one who is thoroly grounded in the
history and traditions of Europe polit-
ically and economically.
Doctor Hill qualities in every in
stance. his friends say, thru his long
diplomatic experience as minister. to
Switzerland and The Netherlands and
later as ambassador to Germany un-
der the Taft administration.
The general expectation in Wash
ington is that President Harding will
name the ambassador to Germany be-
fore MANY weeks.

TAKE STRIKE VOTE
All Railway Workers to Ballot
on Wage Cut.
Union Leaders Refuse to Take
Whole Responsibility.

Chicago, July 6.-Preparations for
a referendum that amounts virtually
to strike vote of the 100000 rail-
way employees of the country were be-
ing made today. The referendum will
decide the attitude of the workers
toward wage reductions that became
effective July 1. 1t must be COM
pleted by September l.
Taking of the referendum was de-
cided upon by leaders of the railway
employees organizations at a con-
ference. In announcing the plan, the
union chiefs declared they could not
assume responsibility for wage re-
ductions."
Confer With r. r. Chiefs.
Possibility of a settlement of the
controversy before the referendum is
completed, however, is seen in the an
nounoement of the union leaders that
conferences will be sought with the
officials of the railroads. If such
conferences are held and a compro-
mise proposition results, those agree
ments also will be submitted to the
workers for their approval.
It was indicated by union leaders
the chief object of the conference is
to place the railway officials on rec
ord as to their attitude toward fur
ther wage cuts or changes in the
working agreements. Working rules,
it was made clear, are regarded as
an issue fully as important as the
wage question.
