PARIS, o. z5.-tBy The Associ-
sted Press).-The allied policy for the
future treatment OF ex-Emperor
Charles of Austria Hungary has been
decided only as TO one point-that he
must be put in a position where he
will be absolutely unable again to
disturb the tranquility OF Europe. II
was declared in French official circles
today.
The Council of Ambassadors, which
will be charged with the question OF
dealing with the ~ex-ruler. will PRADA
bly, at its mex meeting take UP the
problem of providing him with a home
where his security and the tranquility
OF Europe. so far as any menace e #
from him. is concerned. win be equally
assured.
One solution suggested here is that
he be kept in a fortress until the polit-
zeal situation in Europe has been stab
lized SO that the danger OF further at
tempts at a restoration will be mini
mized.
BERLIN. Oct. 25.-A dispatch TO

DAY Of SOME DOGS
soon BE.0VER

With at least 500 dogs running
about the city only So dog tags sold
and only one more day remaining
in which the owners may secure the
tags, 1t looks as though a wholesale
slaughter of dogs in this city Is
not far off.
In years past more than 300 dogs
have been tagged, netting the city
upwards OF $500. This year less than
500 has been collected from this
source and tomorrow is June 30,
the last day in which to take out a
dog license.
Those who come In for their dog
licenses tomorrow may secure them
for male and female dogs at So and
IS respectively. After this date the
owners of the dogs will not only
stand the chances OF having their
dogs killed but will have 10 pay a
fine for their delinquency.
City Clerk Luke Arnett reports
that practically all OF the cigarette,

licenses have been taken out and
with the exception of the very poor
showing of dog licenses, he is well

WAGE CONTRACTS
Must Stand Together, the
Railroad Wage Board
Declares

CHICAGO, June 29.-No separate
agreement on wages or working
conditions can be made by any
group Of railroad employees in par
ticular office or shop apart from the
agreement made with that class OF
employees as a whole over the en-.
tire system, according TO a ruling
OF the railroad labor board today.
The decision was issued in the
case OF clerks in general offices in
several offices who want to nego.
tiate separate agreements with the
road distinct from the agreement
made between the roads and the
brotherhoods of railway and steam,
ship clerks, freight handlers, ex
press and station employees.
The board states, however, tha,
the personal office force OF officers
as in general offices could be paid
on an excepted list not included In
the general agreement. Under 9
code of rules to govern all nego.
tiations recently promulated by the
board on principle states that the
majority Of any craft or class Of
employees should have the right 10
negotiate for all employees Of that
craft.
Today's ruling decided that the
principle applied to the entire craft.
or class over an entire railroad sys.
TEN and could not be Interpreted
to mean a majority at any point on
the line.
