On the question of allegiance a
form of words was found which sat-

giving her full powers of decision.

rangement satisfactory to the Sim

President Sees Success OF Disarmament Conference
GABLE WORKS r. r. SIDING GRANTED
ffIRISH FREE STATE"
WILL BE cREATED

LONDON. Dec. 6 (By The Asso-
ciated Press)-England and Ireland
awoke this morning from troubled
sleep of despondency over the Irish
situation to learn the joyous news of
a sensational and wholly unexpected
agreement reached between the
English and Irish conferees in to-
days small hours. The negotiations
for a settlement were considered
yesterday to, have definitely COL
lapsed and the compromise achieved
in Premier Lloyd Georges sombre
home in Downing street after a
night-long struggle seemed likely to
be chronicled as the most moment
Gus event in the history of Anglo
Irish relations.
Although the terms of the agree
ment had not officially been made
known up to this afternoon, some of
the principal points are unofficially
understood to be:
Recognition of ireland as an inde-
pendent state with formula on the
question of allegiance satisfactory to
both sides.
Inclusion of Ulster within. the
scope of the new Irish government,
with the option of withdrawing
within one month, reverting in that
case to her present status within
territory fixed by boundary COM
mission.
Freedom for Ireland regarding
customs tariffs.
Satisfactory arrangement regard
ing control of Irish ports by the
navy.
Withdrawal of all military forces
f ON ireland under safeguards in
suring peaceful conditions.
While the agreement must still be
submitted to the Dali Eireann and
the British parliament for ratifica-
ton there was disposition in all
London quarters to regard the out
look as of the brightest.
The agreement reached binds
both sides to recommend it to their
parliament. 1t is formal detailed
and conclusive document, and its
terms prevent the necessity for fur
ther negotiations.
Should the Dali Eireann agree to
the documant-and a disagreement
is not looked for as~it meets salts
factorily the points raised by the
Sim Fein-it will be embodied in a
bill an6 submitted to the British
parliament. which is expected to be
called in special session to consider
it.
Meanwhile a provisional govern
ment will he formed in Southern
Ireland. TIE agreement does not
require listers assent to make it ef-
fective. Ulster is given the option
of contracting out within one month

Ordinance Vacating Land to
Factory is Passed on
First Reading
CLARK OPPOSES MOVE
Cable Works Tells of Plans to
Build Larger Factory
Soon

An ordinance authorizing the va
eating of certain lands by the city
in order to permit of the Standard
Underground Cable Works laying
a new siding in outer High street
was passed on first reading, Alder
man John J. Clark being the only
member of the Board of Aldermen
opposing the measure. The cable
works had a COMMUNICATION before
! the board which was read before
the ordinance was taken UP for con-
sideration. In this letter the cable
works pointed out that building OPP
erations would be started as soon
as it was definitely known that they
would be allowed the land tor the
siding. This would furnish work
for many men engaged In construc-
ton work, it pointed out, and upon
completion the factory would add
a large number of new employees.
The passage of the ordinance on
first reading las night practically as
sures the granting TO the cable works
of the permission which it has been
striving t. get for long time. The
ordinance will come up for second
and thirI readings at the next regu-
lar meeting of the board and it is
generfily expected that the alder
men will vote the same then as they
did last night
The matter was brought up before
election ami thrashed out in the
council chamber Alderman Clark.
who opposed vac3 ting the property
pointing our that the factory should
pay the city for the land and also
reimburse the property owners in
that vicinity. whose property, he
elaine d. would be damaged by the
installation of a railroad spur. AL
derman Albert G.. Waters. who led
the fight for the siding, referred to
petitions signed by residents not only
in that section of the city but other
parts of Perth Amboy as well fav-
oring the granting of the land to
the cable works The contention of
those who signed this petition was
that a larger factory would mean
more employment and more money
would be put into circulation, thus
helpina the merchants as well as the
\ unemployed
Alderman Clark requested the
clerk to have copies of the ordinance
mailed to each of the aldermen in
order that they might study the
wording of the measure between now
and the next meeting when the mat
ter comes up for final disposition.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-President
Harding informed congress today IN
his first annual message that "a most
gratifying world accomplishment" by
the arms conference 'is not improb-
able"
The message was delivered by the
President in person in the chamber
of the House in the presence of the
delegates to the conference and most
of the diplomats regularly stationed
in Washington.
At the outset the President dis
cussed world conditions saying: "A
world restoration program" would
have to be worked out "by the ma
tions more directly concerned" The
United States will help, unselfishly.
because there is compensation in the
consciousness of assisting selfshly,
because the commerce and interna-
tional exchanges in trade which
marked our high tide of fortunate
advancement are, possible only when
the nations of all continents are re-
stored to stable order and normal
relationship"
Turning to domestic problems he
recommended early enactment OF
the permanent tariff and foreign
debts refunding bills. He also an
nounced that later on he would
make some recommendation about
the renewed consideration of the tax
program, involving further reduc-
tions and abolition of "hindering
burdens
He also suggested consideration
by congress of an amendment to the
constitution to end the issue of non
taxable bonds.
With regard to the merchant ma
rine he said it was the purpose &c
present plan (which contemplates
no greater draft on the public treas
ury and which though yet too crude
to offer it today gives such promise
of expanding our merchant marine
that it will argue it's own approval"
Proper encouragement" for the
cooperative marketing programs
as a means of assisting in the re.
lief of present conditions in agri-
culture, was suggested. The Pres
idcnt also told congress that il
should give its earnest attention tt
a general policy of transportation
of distributed industry and highway
construction to encourage thu
spread of the population and re-
store the proper balance between
cities and countries.
Other recommendation included
Plans "of conference. of common
council. of mediation, arbitration

JAPAN TO RETURN
ALL OF SHANTUNG

PARIS, Dec. (By The Associa-
ted Press) The Chamber of Depu-
ties and the senate today accepted
Premier Brands proposals to post
pone discussion of his attitude at
Washington until the Armament and
Far Eastern conference there had
ended, thus expressing confidence in
the premier.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 6-An early
settlement of the entire Shantung
problem is predicted here.
This belief grows out of the action
of the Japanese delegates in agree
ing late yesterday to virtual restor-
alton to China of the entire province
with the exception of 2S9 miles of
railroad running from the port of
Tsing-Tao to the interior.
The special right binding China to
consult the japanese government IN
all cases where foreign assistance in
person, capital or material may be
needed for any purpose whatever
within the province of Shantung
are abandoned and China is privl-
legged to open Shantung to the trade
and investments of all nations. In
other words. the open door is re-
tSldDllSncQ.
The joint bulletin is issued by the
Japanese and Chinese delegations
described the clear and harmonious
atmosphere in which the converse
tions are being held. The other
problems will be referred to the
commission that is going to China
for investigation and that commits
sion will not report for months.
Meanwhile, there will be no disturb
ance of the existing state of things
except for such matters as Japan
has indicated her willingness to
agree to.
The conversations between the
Japanese and Chinese representa-
tives over Shantung are getting
along famously. Japan has offered.
as Delegate Hanihara explained. TO
renounce all rights Germany ac-
quired in Shantung and which ac-
crued to Japan.

Senator Brown held that although
the sixth ward was larger than any
other two wards IN the city, save
the fourth and fifth wards. he won-
dered by the comparison had
not been between these two wards
and the sixth ward as well as with
other wards in the city. As nothing
was said about increasing the wards
the senator wondered whether the
intention was to increase the num-
ber of wards or Just change tha
boundary lines OF the election dis
triets.
At the last meeting when the or
dinance received its first reading
Alderman Albert G. Waters passed
on the vote. Last night Alderman
Waters voted no on both the Sec
and third readings. Prior to the vof-
ing, Alderman Waters stated that
he did not see any good reason fer
the change in the districts, except
for political reasons. Alderman
John J. Clark maintained that by

cans see a chance TO save their skins

POLICE To ASK
PAY INCREASE
Wait on Aldermen, But No
Action is Taken by
That Body

Representatives of the police de-
partment appeared before the city
fathers in committee session last
night and put the matter of $500
fiat raise before that body. The
matter was discussed by the alder
men in committee session, but not
during the meeting. The police
representatives pointed out that
some time ago a request for raise
resulted in a bonus of 5000 being
offered, the same as was given to
the city teachers. The law up
holders requested a fiat raise at this
time. but same was refused on the
grounds that the teachers would ex-
pect a similar change.
|. Later, the police pointed out, the
bonus offered to the bluecoats was
done away with, while only short
time ago a 5000 fiat raise was given
to the teachers to take the place OF
their bonus. The police represen-
tatives maintain that if times are
improving they fail to note any i'm
provement to date, and therefore
require the raise.
John Dunham. traffic officer. and
a delegate of the local branch of
the Patrolmen's Benevolent Asso-
citation. was chairman of commit
tee of about ten policemen which
appeared before the city fathers in
reference to the raise last night.
