ton, who undoubtedly will become United
States district attorney when Frederick
Van Nuys steps down Jan. l. 1922, was
q caller at the Federal building today

after an automobile that is being fixed
up and l am going to leave at o'clock.
From all outward indications Judge
Eberhart never has so much as heard
the slightest inkling of a rumOr or a
whisper that he is to be the next United
States attorney in Judge Anderson

simultaneously with German insistence
that the terms Of the American peace
treaty are "tOO high" comes the charge
that they are too much French cOlored. -
This is attributed to the American

Germany's position has been strength
ened BY recent interviews with Frank A
Vanderlip. American financier. in the
German press in which he is credited
that she cannot fulfill the treaty of Yer

lip is credited with being President
Harding's Colonel House."
Leaders hint that claims relating to the
Lusitania and others contained in he
American treaty constitute excessive

Eastern Labor Leaders Expect to Refer Dispute to Board Would Cut Wages From 10 to 17 Cents Hour.

New York, March 14-Wage re- auctions proposed for unskilled labor by railroads in the East probably will be rejected by the workers, canvass of officials of the interested union organizations indicated tonight.

 The latest reductions proposed by the railroads was made today by the Central Railroad of New Jersey, which would cut wages of all un- skilled labor from 10 to IT cents an hour, effective April l. Union rep resentatives will make their reply to this proposal March 24.
 Wage reductions ranging from Is to 23 per cent for marine workers employed by the railroads in New York harbor, have been agreed upon by Official General Managers Asso- citation. The proposal will be sub mitted immediately to the workers.
 The reduction the marine workers will be asked to accept would wipe out the increases granted by the War Labor Board to the employees, effect i've May 1 last, after a series of strikes. Approximately 6,000 work CTS are effected. Union representa- tives of the employees of the Della ware, Lackawanna and Western will confer with the road officials tomor- row on the matter of proposed wage reductions for unskilled labor, to be- come effective April 1.
