Justice McAvoy granted an injunc-
tion yesterday to the United Cargo
Workers Affiliation of Greater New
York. restraining the International
ongshoremen's Association from inter-
fering with them in seeking work or
intimidating them. The petitioners for
merly were members of the defendant
organization, but withdrew and formed
their own union. They complained they
we're intimidated and assaulted by
members of the old union in an effort
to deprive them of their jobs.
Referring to letter from the pres

president of the plaintiff organization,
in which the writer warned that only
members of the defendant body would
be permitted to work on the river front
Justice McAvoy said:

Dali Is Sure to Ratify
Treaty, Says Plunkett
Predicts Unionisss in North
Epentually Viii Cooperate
10 Build Up Irish State

Sir Horace Plunkett arrived mere
yesterday on the White Star liner
Olympic from Southampton OH his way
to Omaha, near where he has a ranch.
He asserted the old conflict between
England and Ireland was buried; that
the Dali Eireann would ratify the
treaty with England, and that it would
be to the best interests of the Union
lists in the north of Ireland to join
with the great majority of their fell
low countrymen in building up the
Irish Free State.
This is Sir Horace's forty-second
trip across the Atlantic. He expects
to return to Ireland in the second week
in February. During his stay in this
country, he said, he would make no
speeches if he could help it.
In discussing the difficulty with
Ulster, Sir Horace said: asf
when il is no longer an issue in
that there will be wholly new spirit
in Ireland in regard to this problem
1t would be to the best interests of
the unionists of the northeast corner
of the island TO join hands with the
great majority of their fellow coun-
trymen. as the southern Unionists have
done, in building up the Irish Free
State.
"But if they do not come in at once
] have no doubt they will very soon.
The bigger issue was settled because
an overwhelming public opinion de-
manded settlement. The lesser issue
will be settled for the additional roa-
son that it is every Irishman's wish
that it should be settled.
''As for the treaty, it will be ratified
because, even if the Dali cannot on
account of it's pledges to the Irish Re
public agree to another form of gov
ernment, it will have to consult the
people, and they will be for the treaty.
"The terms of the treaty are sub
stantially those | have advocated for
the last two and half years, so |
am naturally happy about them. SO
also should be Irishmen and friends of
ireland in America. They know enough
of democratic principles to realize
that if the Irish people have not got
all that their leaders have asked in
the last few years they have won
powers of self-government, with which
they can mold their political destinies
and build up civilization in harmony
with the genius of the race

Germany Cant
Pay, Says Lang,
Here as Envoy
Charge d'Affairs, Who Is
to Open Capital Embassy,
Asserts New Way Must Be
Found TO Meet Indemnity
Economic Status Better
Accompanied by Three
Vice-Consuls to Resume
Relations With America

Karl Lang who for s. time is to be
Charge d'Affaires for Germany at
Washington, arrived yesterday on the
Holland-America liner Nieuw Amster-
dam.
Mr.. Lang said that the economic con-
dition of Germany was much better
than it had been, and that if the Allied
nations would leave Germany the
means of doing things her condition
would improve more rapidly.
ut is hard, you know" said Mr.
Lang, "for the people to face future
under the conditions imposed by the
treaty of peace. According to the
treaty, we have to furnish coal and
dyes and compensate individuals and
industrial concerns for losses due to
the war. an item which amounts to
b00,000,o00 marks year. In addition,
we have the reparations.
Cannot Meet Allied Bill
"We have been hurt a great deal
by the cutting off of the eastern prov
of Germany for much of the food
which we formerly supplied to our
selves. Germany could not afford TO
pay the reparations demanded of her
even in the days before the war. We
are much less able to do so now
Present conditions and methods
cannot go on. We tried two ways of
meeting the conditions, the only two
ways we knew, and they would not
work. Some other way must be found.
What it will be ] do not know.
II do know that we felt that the only
way to get money was to export our
goods to all countries. This we tried
to do. Many countries objected and
passed laws keeping out our merchan-
disc. In this way they deprived us of
money they asked of us.
"This being failure, our only other
way was to buy foreign money. This
lowered the mark and acted as temp
tation to foreign buyers"
Accompanied by Vice -Consuls
Mr.. Lang has been in the German
diplomatic service for twenty-four
years. He is fifty years old. From
1909 to 1914 he was Consul General in
Montreal, Canada. He returned to
Germany, and during the war was in
charge of trade relations between Ger
many and neutral countries.
With Mr.. Lang were DR.. Emil Baer,
who VIII be German Vice-Consul in
Chicago; Hugo Mundt, to be vice-con
sui in St. Louis, and Armand Valette,
who will be vice-consul in San Fran
cisco. Eventually Mr.. Lang will be
consul general in New York.
Other arrivals aboard the Nieuw
Amsterdam were DR.. H. A. Lorentz, a
professor in the University of Laden,
Holland, who will begin two months
lecture course at the University Of
Technology, Pasadena, Calf, and Mrs.
B. Lauer-Kottlar, prima donna, who
will sing with the Chicago Opera Com
pany.

Cancellation of Foreign Debt
Out of Question, Say Senators

From The Trtbune'a Washington Burccu
WASHINGTON, Dec. %. Advocacy
of cancellation of the war loans Of the
United States to the Allies by Justice
Clarke, of the United States Supreme
Court, will have no effect on the situa-
ion as to cancellation in Congress, ac-
cording to leaders on the Senate FL
nance Committee.
Senator Watson, of Indiana, a mem
ser of the Finance Committee, said
ancellation of the foreign debt would
aot be considered seriously by Con-
gress. He added the matter had been
discussed in both houses and that both
Senate and House were emphstically
against it.
Similar views were expressed by
other Senators. II was pointed out that
when the foreign debt funding bill
comes up in the Senate it will be made
more plain than ever that cancellation
is out of the question, so far as sane
tion by this Congress is concerned.

Woman Weds Z Times
TO Obtain Z Passports
Swiss Trafhcker in Furs and
Millinery Finds Way to Over
come Strict REGULATIONS

ubNEVA, Dec. Marriage for at
east one woman became the solution
" the problem of getting passports to
various european countries, the diff
culties of which became almost in
superable after the war.
|I Before the war this woman, who is
well educated and good looking, earned
$4,000 year by obtaining orders for
millinery and furs from royalty and
arlstocracy in the several capitals of
europe, as representative OF French
and Viennese dealers. After the war.
while her former patrons had no
money for luxuries, a new class-the
war profiteers-demanded her atten-
tion.
Then to obtain passports she formed
plan OF marrying men of different
nationalties (evcry race can be found
IN Switzcrland) and paying them to
let her divorce them as soon as she had
established passport in her new
citizenship. AT present she has seven
ex-husbands.

Harding Aids in
Congress Plan to
Press His Program
Informal Conferences Are
Under Way to Speed Up
Important Legislation as
Soon as Body Reconvenes

From The Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28-Informa
conferences have begun among Senate
and House leaders, all Of whom are in
touch with the President, with a view
to determining on a comprehensive pro-
gram of legislation for the regular
session and then enacting it with the
least delay practicable.
These conferences have not vet
reached final conclusions but they
have gone far enough to make it clear
that strong effort will be made as
soon as Congress reconvenes to crowd
to passage the most important of the
this every effort will be made to line
up the Republicans of both bodies for
the Administration program. AS soon
as members return from their homes,
where many of them arc spending the
holiday recess, further conferences
will be held to perfect the plans.
Back of this movement is a purpose
not only to enact the legislation which
the Administration wants, but also to
get ready for the campaign next fall.
Both Senator Mccormick, chairman Of
the Republican Senatorial Committee,
and Representative Fess, chairman of
tee, are urging on President Harding
and the leaders at the Capitol the nc
cessity for enactment Of program of
legislation to which the Republicans in
the campaign can point with satisfac-
tion and which will appeal to the
voters.
In the list of the bills which. it is
already agreed, will be pressed are the
tariff REVISION measure. the soldiers
bonus bill, the foreign debt bill, mer-
chant marine legislation, including the
Administration subsidy plan; the an
nual appropriation bills and the CO.
operative marketing bill, which is de-
nanded by the farmers. Ratification
of the treaties arising from the arma-
ment conference is a part Of the pro-
gram, as is the disposal of the New
berry case. Moreover, President Har-
ding has recommended labor legisla-
tion looking to the establishment of
some sort of tribunal for the peace
full settlement of industrial disputes.
To this will be added several other
propositions, but these are the ones
most under discussion at present. The
passage of the appropriation bills in
itself is an enormous task. It involves
the broad question of economy in ex-
penditures. The country's army and
navy policy is bound up in the action
taken by Congress on appropriation

LONDON, Dec. 2S--From North
Donega! to South Cork public bodies
and political organizations are daily
adopting resolutions favoring accept
ance of the treaty. In Donegal the
Sim Fein organization has called on
Doncgal's six members in the Dali to
vote for ratification, adding that fail
ure to eio SO would show gross con-
tempt for the opinion Of their con-
stituents. Michael Brennock, recently
released from Bailykin, who is chair
man of the Waterford council of the
constituency Of Brugha and one Of De
Valcra's chief supporters, declares that
the voice of the country in favor OF
the treaty must be obeyed by the Dali
deputies. The Kilkenny council to-day,
by eighteen votes to one, called on its
four members to support the treaty.
The united stand of the country, Of
which these are only few samples,
should influence the Dali, but most of
against ratification apparently are un-
shaken.
But instead Of being week of re-
joicing and good cheer. this holiday
season has been one of anxiety. Lead
ers in the Irish movement are now
meeting daily to consider routine ques-
tions of government, and though they
are personally on good terms the rift
still exists under the surface. The De
Valera faction is now trying to buy a
| newspaper which can be used as an
official organ. With practically every
daily and weekly newspaper through
out the country urging ratifcations De
Valera considers that his side cannot
get fair hearing.
De Valera has failed to show the
qualities of strong leader, but he is
surrounded by band of determined
men and women, the keenest of whom
is Erskinc Childers, who is of English
birth and married to an American.
There ia little doubt that De Valera
would prefer to be on the side of Grif-
fifth and Collins, but he is in the hands
of men who, however impracticable
they may be, are determined to con-
tinue their fight for complete Irish in

dependence and the right to choose
their own form Of government.
Even If the treaty is ratified at the
conclusion of the debate next week. it
would be q mistake TO underrate the
minority. Under normal conditions the
minority might be expected to accept
defeat and work with the majority
toward the success Of the Irish Free
State. Instead, however, De Valera and
draw from the government and conduct
an attack on the majority.
General Election Seen Near
Assuming again that the Dali ratifies
the treaty, then there would follow the
formation Of provisional government
and the construction of constitution.
There ia a paucity of constructive
statesmen in ireland and there arc few
who show even the potential qualities
of parliamentarians. With the De Va
lera faction holding aloof, the govern
ment would be even weaker and it's
carly parliamentary life would be cer-
tain to meet with serious obstructions
Consequently it seems reasonable to
assume that a general election is not
far distant and then the Irish people
will have an opportunity Of registering
their views on the treaty.
The other side of the picture is even
less rosy, for if the treaty is rejected
sherc arc bound to be clashes between
the Sim Feiners and the crown forces.
Nothing seems more foolish than the
belief that Ireland can reject the
treaty and then settle down in quiet
Ireland is just as inflammable to-day
as & powder factory, and with the first
spark the whole works will be endan-
gered. Some of De Valcras support
ers are beginning to realize that rejec-
tion Of the treaty would mean the sac
riiice of much of the sympathy and ma
terial assistance they have received in
the past. Without these it is difficult
to see how prolonged resistance could
be offered.
Indifference in England
There is curious Indifference to
ireland at the present time in England,
but that probably is due to events in
Egypt and India which are calculated
to cause considerable worry.
Whatever the Dali decides, in the
face of Lloyd Georges pronouncement
tonight that there can be no more
concessions, there is no question that
the English people will support 1 'oyd
George in whatever policy he pursues.
Ratification may mean political chaos
in Ireland, but rejection would mean
the renewal of hostilities as we'll, and
obviously the majority, however un-
satisfactory the treaty may be, will not
choose the latter course.

The New York National Guard has
been virtually doubled during the last

yesterday at headquarters of the Cd

Although it has been necessary to
renumber units of the National Guard
whose old numbers were famous in pre-

correspond with numbers allotted dur

there were but 67O officers and $4,000

to New York embraces New Jersey,
