Railroad Strike
 F0rseen Due 70
 Boards Decision

Washington. April 15.-There is tense anxiety in official labor circles today.
 A railroad strike is foreSeen as a result of the decision of the L. s. Railway Labor Board abrogating the present national agreement held by the 1-500.000 railroad workers affil- lated with the American Federation of Labor and directing negotiations to be carried on between each indi- viduaF railroad and its employees.
 The attitude of the e-railroad com panies- makes a strike unavoidable in the privately expressed opinion of la Dor leaders and fear is expressed that the boards decision will bring to l head the war that has been raging more fiercely than ever before be- tween capital and labor creating for organized labor the greatest crisis in its history

The air around the headquarters of the A. F. of l.. and the building of the International Machinists' Associa- tion across the way. is filled with gloomy talk and some leaders even declare the industrial situation in the United States parallel to the present one in England.
 William H. Johnston. president of the International Association of Ma chinists and a member Of the execu- tive board of the railway employees of the A. F. of L. voiced the feeling of the labor officials here today when he declared:
 The pernicuous influence of the Steel Trust is behind this movement to destroy the railroad unions as it is behind the movement to crush all of organized labor."

Although Germany's acceptance of
the allied reparations demands re-
moves the diplomatic reason for delay
ing the passage of the Knox resolu-
ton for a separate peace, differences
between the Republican leaders of the
House and Senate as to its form prob
ably will prevent a speedy enactment
Of the resolution. This fact and a
feeling in official circles that the world
will now be able to resume its normal
economic way were the outstanding
features of to-day's reaction to the de-
cision of the Berlin Reichstag.
The House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee will insist on an amendment to
the Knox peace resolution before it Is
finally enacted, Chairman Porter Of
tho committee, predicted to-day. which
insistence may cause a postponement
of final enactment Of the measure.
The point in dispute between Senate
leaders and the House committee is
whether the resolution should speci-
fically repeal the declaration OF war. as
was done by the Senate. The position
of Mr.. Porter is that this is in effect a
repudiation OF the war resolution which
stated why the United States entered
the war. Mr.. Porters plan IS to declare
only that state of peace exists and TO
make no reference to the war resolution.
The House will not be rushed in its
action. he said
Mr. Porter to-day conferred on one
of these questions with Thomas W. Mia
ler alien property custodian The chair
man explained that he is desirous OF
preventing a large number of lawsuits
resulting from the declaration of peace.
Another question that has unexpect-
edly arisen is the effect on the few
war laws that were continued when
Congress last session specifically re-
pealed the majority OF the war laws.
The statutes continued are mainly those
OF the War Trade Board.
1t was also learned that some Amer
lean ship owners have asked the House
Committee as to their rights n German
ports IL the Knox resolution is passed
and the United States does not ratiiy
the Versailles treaty in some form. It
appears that before the war Germany
Disseminated against foreign ships In
her ports by charging large larf and
doclcage fees which were much greater
than those assessed against vessels hy-
ing the German flag. Under the Ver-
sailles treaty II was agreed ehese past
Determinations would be eliminated.
Republican House leaders were pleased
with the German acceptance OF the ulti-
matum and expressed the opinion that
II was a big step toward clearing the
international atmosphere. They believed
IL would have the effect of speeding ac-
tion on the Knox resolution, but Repub-

The Mayor of Petit-Quevilly, near
Rouen, lost his job for at least a meath
because he let his Communist inclina-
tions override his official obligations.
on May / the Communist leaders sent
out a circular letter instructing all
Communist executives to display the
red flag conspicuously on that day. The
Mayor who was elected on the mod
crate Socialist ticket, but later turned
toward Moscow radicalism. decided the
flag order applied to public buildings. and
he promptly hauled down the Tri-color
and nut out Soviet flags and banners
in every window.
The Police Commissioner. however,
was not elected on the Socialist ticket,
and he promptly reported the incident
TO the Minister OF the Interior, with the
result that the Mayor Is relieved OF al
his official duties while his offence Is
being investigated.
