Proposition Down
Defeated Extremist Section
May Secede and Join Third
International of Moscow
Action of Majority Contrary
to Expectations of English
Premier

Southport, England, Mar. 2S.-(By
The Associated Press.)-The indie
pendent labor party, in conference
here today, rejected by an over
whelming majority a proposal to ac-
cept Lenine's 81 conditions for af-
filiation with the Third Internationale
of Moscow.
The minority report favored ac-
ceptance and this element may secede
from the party.
The Independent Labor Party has
for the second time in succession de-
feated the extremist section wishing
to affiliate with the Third Interna-
tionale. Fifteen branches of the party
supported the Moscow conditions and
there We're some story incidents at
the conference but when the decision
was taken on a card vote, the Moscow
proposal was defeated 521 to 81.
The Independent Labor Party is
the extreme wing of the Labor party,
and today's vote is interesting in
connection with Premier Lloyd
Georges speech on March %, accus-
ing the Labor party of revolutionary
proclivities. The speech has been the
subject of much excited criticism, and
on the labor side has been interpreted
as preparing the ground for q general
election and indicating that the prime
minister has resolved to throw in
his lot with the JTnionjSt marty and
become it's titular leader.

RAIL BOARD WASHES
HANDS PLEA SHORT
Line employees

Chicago, Mar. 2S-The petition of
1900 employees of 81 short line rail-
roads for wages and working condi-
tions incidental with those of the
trunk lines of the country was dis
missed by the United States railroad
Labor oBard today. The case was
heard last fall on the request of -
unions that the wage scales and ma
tional working agreements on the
standard railroads be pplied to the
short lines because of the diversified
duties of the short line employees. the
board declared it to be 'impractical
to determine what reasonable rules
shall he on the short lines" and with
out an uniform classification of work,
the board declared it could not under
take to determine reasonable wages.
An elaborate study of the kinds of
work performed on the short lines
would be necessary to establish rea-
sonable rules, the decision said. and
until the general rules hearing affect
ing the trunk lines of the country is
disposed of, the board pointed out
! that it was impracticable to take ac-
ton on the short lines. Under the
decision. employees and carriers may
still negotiate their own agreements
on wages or working conditions, but
! the decision stipulated that it should
not be considered as affecting ANY
wage increase now in effect nor any
agreement regarding wages between
; any carrier and its employees"

March Probable
Before Special Session

Washington, March 2S-Secretary
Weeks indicated today that new
chief of staff of the army to succeed
Major General Peyton c. March
would be selected before the special
session of Congress convenes April
II. He declined to discuss the mat
ter beyond saying that the name of
the new chief of staff will probably
be announced before Congress meets.
Compilation Of the list of nominal
lions for general officers is expected
to be completed this week h. the
secretary. The list, it is understood,
will be almost duplicate of that
sent to Congress bysformer Secretary
Baker, which failed of confirmation.
One important exception, however,
may be the inclusion of the name OF
Brigadier General Clarence r. Ed
wards, former commander OF the
26th New England Division OF Ma
tional Guard, overseas, to head the
list of major generals. His name did
not appear in the Baker nominations.

ARRANGEMENTS have been made with

the City of Rockland in shape if
necessary, but there is feeling that
1t might not be advisable to recon-

conditioning the City of RockIand is
placed at $4,000 and the minimum
figure at $4,000. The hull of the
