Washington-The American state de-

the United States would not permit
any hostilities growing out of the occu-
patton of the CotO region by Costa

attempt to rcoccupy the disputed terri
tory, force would he used in resisting,
unless the United States made it clear
that the American government would
prevent it.
I'm view of the fact that the United
States as a friendly mediator" the
American note said, after referring TO
the character of the note of May ., "re-
CARDS as just the claims of Costa Rica

the Pacific awarded to her by Presl-

drew his amendment directing the
American delegation to demand open
sessions.
mo one representing the president
of the United States will go to the
disarmament conference not in favor
of the largest measure of publicity
compatible with getting business done '
Senator Lodge told the senate.
Lodge declared that no one would
question the ssundneSs of the argu-
ments against secret treaties, but
added that some negotiations should

sessions.
He then advocated that the matter
of procedure should be left to the
delegates.
Lodge declared the resolution would
render the United States guilty of an
incivitity' to the nations in the con-
ference, and expressed hope that ii
would be defeated.

RAILRoADERs TO PREPARE FoF
STRIKE UNLESS DEMANDS ARE
MET BY EMPLOYERS
Regulations Promulgated ny Unftss
States Board Termed unjusti-
fable at Regional Execu-
tiYes' Meet.

Chicago-RuIes governing the pay.
ment of overtime rates, promulgated
ny the United States railroad labor
board last week to supplant the over
time rules of the national agreement
covering sh0pcrafts employees, were re
jeeted as ''unjustified" by conference
of regional executive boards of thu
railroad employees department of
the American Federation of Labor
Friday.
A letter was sent Friday to all 10
calls conveying the results Of a three
day conference Just concluded.
by no conceivable line Of reason.
Ing" the letter said, ''can decision 222
be justified and this body declines to
accept It."
All union members were warned
however, to remain at work until fur.
ther official action is taken by Of
fcials of the union. The letter ad.
yised 1t was considered best to wait
until the labor board had issued sub
stitute rules for the entire national
agreement before taking referendum
vote on the matter.
Meanwhile, however. the letter ad-
vised the men 'in time of peace to
prepare for war"
The seven rules announced by the
board last week cover payments for
overtime, Sundays and holidays A
number of radical changes were made
and labor leaders declared the new
rules would materially affect the
earnings of shop employees. A. o.
Wharton. labor member of the board,
strongly tlissented from the majority
decision.
The letter Friday reviews the rules
controversy. pointing ont that not
withstanding the railroads request
for separate negotiations with their
own employees. only three small
roads had completed agreements with
their men. The unions had contend
ed for a national conference and
adoption of a uniform set of rules
for every road in the country.
Dissatisfaction that but seven of
the 1856 rules of the national agree
ment had been passed upon by the
| board was also expressed. Intention
TO urge the board to dispose of all
general rules Immediately was ex-
pressed. Until all rules are pro-
mulgated the executive boards decided
to adjourn before taking any final
action.
'If "a satisfactory settlement is not
obtained and the membership by vote
supports the position of this body,
there will be need for the use OF
/ the full power and strength of these
organizations in collective action" the
| letter said.
with this conclusion firmly fixed
| in our minds we hold il to be the
| duty of each individual member Of
in time of peace TO prepare for war,
and each of your are, therefore, re-
quested to carefully conserve your per
| sonal finances. secure supplies OF food
clothing and fuel and other household
necessities"
The signatures of all the presidents
of the six shops crafts unions appear
