Lloyd George

To Arms Farley
Parliament GiUes Pre-.
niier Carte Blanche
For Conference.
tBy United Nsw..)

{ LONDON. Oct. lS.-The reconven-
ing of Parliament. marked by an
absence Of formality and devoid OF
sensation, has served principally to
leave Lloyd George free to adopt
any course he may choose toward
the Washington conference, and to
determine for himself whether cirI
cumstances will permit his attend
ance in America.
The Premier will "go to WASH
ington as soon as the parliamentary
situation and general conditions at
nome render the trip possible. APP
parently the sole obstacle to definite
announcement of his plans rests in
the Irish peace-making, which, IL
II becomes critical. may cause a
last-minute decision to remain in
England.
The Premier's reference to his
desire to attend the disarmament
convention and his announcement
or the personnel of the British del
egation constituted the sole refer
ence to America in his speech to the
House of Commons.
The Premier announced that the
British commission will include Ar
thur James Balfour, Lord Lee, first
lord of the admiralty. and, he hopes,
himself. The government has also
nominated for places on the British
delegation Pearce. of Australia
Borden, of Canada; Bastrie, of In
dia, and Salmond. of New Zealand,
'Sir Auckland Geddes, Ambassador
at Washington. will act as a dele
gate in case any of the appointees
Is unable to attend.
AS experts and advisers, Earl
Beatty will represent the navy. Earl
cavan the army. and Air Marshal
Higgins. with Sir Maurice Hankey
the air forces.
In the house of yords. Lord Cur
zon, foreign minister, said that he
would have been pleased to go to
Washington. but regretted that
present conditions prevented his
attendance
The appointment of Sir Auckland
Geddes as an alternate deIegat,
means that the Ambassador very
probably will take his seat as a per.
manent delegate when Lloyd Georg,
leaves for England, since no thirt
member of the delegation has beer
appointed.
Attention is now centered upoT
the unemployment situation, oi
which the premier spoke at length
and in great detail. Four relic
bills will be introduced in the hous,
of commons tomorrow, The gov
ernment's latest estimates are tha
there are now 1.750,OO0 idle in the
United Kingdom.

session was the introduction of thi

men, and w s. Carter, president of

Compromise O6er Expected.
1t was learned later that an ef-
fort might be made to hold an in
formal session of the "war council"
here before the chiefs leave for
Chicago. 1t was said that T. C.
~oShGAg VI lno
mems Union of North America,
might come here for the meeting.
There was a disposition in "neu-
tral'' quarters here to feel that the
Chicago conference might develop
some compromise offer which would
permit both the brotherhoods and
the executives to retire gracefully
from their position and at the same
time save their faces. This, it was
believed might take the form of
Immediate freight rate reductions
by the railways, and acceptance or
portion Of the new wage cut by
the unions, with the balance to be-
applied in the indefinite future.
Some Unions Against Strike.
One surprising development was
PRESIDENT Lees statement that GER
tain unions on five Eastern rail-
roads had not voted in favor OF the
strike, and that one of the brother
moods failed TO poll strike ma
jority in the East and Middle West.
He refused to identify this brother
hood, but II was learned on GOOD
authority that 1t was the conduc-
tors. Lee also refused to divulge
the names of any of the railways
where the strike vote had failed,
but 1t was believed this might ac-
count for the unexplained removal
Of the Pennsylvania system from
the so-called group one to a later
classification
stone made the specific charge
that the executives had forced the
strike on the employees as part
of an open-shop offensive, directed
against organized labor in general.
There is no question that the
real objective of the railroada is
the destruction Of the organization
of labor" he said.

TROLLEY MERGER
BILL RECOMMITTED
Revamped Measure Placed
Before HouSe-New Bills
Being Framed.

The Woods bill permitting a
merger of the street railways of
the District with the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company, which was re-
committed to the House District
Committee last Monday, has been
revamped and was reintroduced in
the House yesterday by its author,
Representative Woods, of Virginia.
The principal changes in the bill
AFFECT the apportionment of taxes
to be borne by the street car COM
panies and the electric light COM
pany. The rejected bill provided
that the 4 per cent gross tax now
paid by the street car companies
should be repealed and a tax of l
per cent should be imposed upon
the merged corporation.
The new bill proposes to reduce
the tax to 1 per cent in the case
Of the street car companies, but
allows the per cent gross tax to
remain upon the Potomac Electric
Power Company.

moving from the street car compa-
