POWERS IN ACCORD ON
 NAVAL LIMITATION PLAN

Washington. Dec. 1i CBy the A. P).- Great Britain the United States and Japan were in full accord as to princi- ples tonight on a plan of naval limita- tion.
 The plan worked out by Secretary Hughes. Arthur J. Balfour and Admiral Baron kato follows the original Ameri- can proposal except in one resr-lt That difference is the agreement ti\ Japan may retain the battleship Mutsu instead of the Setsu; that the United States re- tain the Colorado and Washington in place of the Delaware and North Dakota. and that Great Britain build the approxi- mate equivalent in capital ships
 Promuigation Of the agreement has been delayed by arranging details as 10 the British equivalent for the Mutsu. The Big Three" are in agreement as to poll icy.
 It appears that the British angle might be settled by providing that she retain two super-Hoods and scrap three or more older ships in their places to bring rela- tive tonnage in retained ships into ap- proximately the same ratio as originally proposed by Secretary Hughes. That element of the plan was still to be finally decided. however, when the Big TiE e' meeting late today adjourned.
 A proposal that Great Britain retain super-Hoods of the four she had ordered would be open, it is said 10 technical objections since the ships would be Of a type not included in the Japanese or American navies. They would combine the batteries of battleships with the speed of battle cruisers, but sacrifice something in armor as compared to bat tleships.
 Since Great Britain has already spent money on the plans and specifications of the ships. 1t seemed improbable that a proposal for their retention would meet objections In American circles, at least. The attitude of Japan's delegates was not known.
 Included in the treaty into which the naval limitation agreement is to be worked will be the establishment of a status quo understanding as to naval bases and fortifcations on the Pacific. This feature of the plan has already been approved by the Big Three" It means that the United States aban- dons any thought of creating a naval base at Guam. but excludes from the re- | strictions to be imposed by treaty Ha- wall, islands on the coast of Japan, or those in waters immediately adjacent to Australia or New Zealand. In effect the | naval trio are in agreement that none but purely defensive outposts shall here- | after be erected in the Pacific. | It was this understanding and in. ] willingness of the United States to bind Itself not to add to present fortifcations or base facilities at Guam which is be-

N. Y. RAILROAD WORKERS
 ASK FOR STRIKE ORDERS

New York, Dec 14.-(By The A. P.)- The action of the United States railroad labor board in Chicago yesterday, in set ting up schedule of ten hours a day at the regular hourly wage for common laborers in new rules replacing the na-' tional agreement made under government control today brought to union officials appeals for strike orders from represen- tatives of 30,000 workers in the New York district.
 This announcement was made tonight by William D. Roberts. grand vice pres ident of the United Brotherhood of Main tenance of Way Employes and Railway Shop LaboreTs. The first protest, he said, came from Pennsylvania Railroad work CTS, followed by appeals from workers on the Erie, Delaware, Lackawanna and Western. Lehigh Valley and the rest of the 12 lines operating within a 75 mile radius of New York.
 Roberts satd that the New York coun- evil had advised local chairnen to hold their members at work and await action by international officers. He explained these orders had been hastened out to forestM sporadic strikhes, and that a meetifN, of the district council would be held as soon as word was heard from the international officers.
 Roberts asserted that the boards new rules, even while they retained the prin- cipal of eight consecutive hours consti- tuting a days work, and granted time and half ray after ten hours, carried maintenance of way employees back to conditions existing ten years ago. He added that, with regular assignment of | Sunday and holiday work no longer drawing dime and half pay, the re- suit would be that workers would be employed on the road beds on Sundays when travel was lighter.
 ''The board has abolished the eight hour day in fact" declared Roberts ''The eight hour principle its speaks of becomes worthless declaration and therefore a dead issue. The board by it's declaration has re-established the seven day week and the ten hour day and its eight hour principle is not wortf the paper that 1t is written upon,
 Asserting that there seemed to be nc justice in America for the common workmen, Roberts, in a formal statement l to union members, continued:

Hearings on Wool
 In the Tariff Bill
President of Wool Manufac- turers Opposes Proposal to Adjust Rates as Conditions Might Warrant.

Washington, Dec. A. - President Harding's proposal to congress that he be given authority to adjust tariff rates as changing conditions might warrant. Is altogether impracticable and unde- sirable," John R. Wood, of Philadelphia, president of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, declared today be- fore the senate finance committee at the hearings on the wool schedule in the permanent tariff bill.
 Such 8 plan. Mr. Wood said would keep industries fin state of unrest at all times" and would result in constant pressure for changes in rates being brought to bear on the president and the tariff commission, which. under Mir. Hardings proposal would recommend the changes in rates to the president within the limitations of maximum and minimum figures to be fixed by con- gress.
 Any plan that takes out of the hands of congress the power to fix rates for a definite time would be unsettlfnr to business" MT. Wood continued. There would be constant hearings before the tariff commission and We feel that the commission would make no more rapid progress In reaching decisions than the interstate commerce commission makes and everybody knows how fast that Is"
 Senators Shoot of Utah and Watson Of Indiana. republican members of the committee. differed with MT Wood ar guing that the plan proposed would re. suit In less uncertainty for business IT this country than would otherwise fol. low tha liquidation in Europe and the changing values of currencies abroad | Senator Smcot declared that under pres ent conditions congress would have tc i delegate authority as to tariff rates 1T some such manner as suggested by the president
