BUSINESS STILL DULL IN EUROPE
Germany Shows Increase in Industrial Activities, But
 Other Nations Inactive

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Economic conditions in Europe during the past month remain practically unchanged. improvement in sane countries being nearly balanced by unsatisfactory de- velopments in others, according to a summary of cabled reports issued to- night by the commerce department
 There were no real changes in gem eral economic conditions in England during September, said Commercial Attache Dennis at London. Toward the end of the month, a slight strin- gency developed in the money market he declared, and even the decline in prices of some commodities was in- terrupted for time by rather sharp fluctuations, but these soon leveled out. Exchange had risen, he added as a result of a considerable advance in British exports.
 Increased industrial activities in Germany were reported by H. A. Adams at Eenln. The stock exchange was very active. he said. and both wholesale and retail establishments were doing much business. There was, however. he asserted. great con cern over the fact that the present boom did not so much indicate ar economic recovery as it showed the result of the marked depreciation and the rush of buyers who feared fur l ther increase.

MELLON AGREES ID LIMITATION
 IF H|S POWERS
Plan to Give Supreme Auth ority in Debt Matters to
 Secretary Abandoned
G. O. P. SEES MISTAKE
Administration Proposal Is Altered Following Strong
 Objections in Congress

WASHINGTON, oct. 14-Modifica- tion of the Administrations foreign loan funding bill, so as to place the funding of operations under the juris- diction of a special commission was agreed to by Secretary Mellon today in letter sent to the house ways and means committee with the approval of President Harding.
 The revised measure as suggested in the secretary's letter would follow in some respects the changes already contemplated by house leaders.
 Instead of giving supreme authori ty to the treasury, secretary for re funding the loans, the new admins tration plan would entrust the task to the commission of five members one of whom would be the secretary The other four would be named by the president, with the provision that any nominee, not a cabinet member, must be confirmed by the senate.
 It is understood administration leaders contemplate inclusion of al least three cabinet members in the proposed commission, and it is possi ble that the entire membership may be chosen from the presidents official family. Besides the secretary of the treasury. it is believed that the secre tary of State and secretary of com merce may have membership.
 Although details remain 70 be set tied Secretary Mellon's action was regarded as first step towards !
 n romise to insure enactment of the bill which encountered considers hle onnosition in it's original form. lt was indicated in high official circles that the various qualifications pro posed as amendments by house lead CTS are not regarded by the president as seriously objectionable.

 Demand That O ObregonSignPact

that it's declarations are of a charac- ter absolutely clear and explicit and capable of only one interpretation by honorable men.
 If such should prove to be the case then indeed. the clouds which l al- ready can see breaking away on both sides, will be completely dissipated. Then all cause for misunderstanding between these two sister republics will have been removed once for all: then as neighbors and friends, we can count for generations to come upon undisturbed harmony and good will"
 Referring to his mission in Mexican Lamont said it obviously would be improper to discuss this subject at this stage. He added:
 'I am glad to testify that the mem bers Of the Mexican government show to me that they have realization of the importance of these impending financial matters. and that they have approached our discussion with great courtesy and in spirit of candor and good will.'

TALK IS
 RENEWED WHEN
 NEW PAY SLASH PROPOSAL MADE
Operators Declare Nation Lines Will Go Bankrupt
 If Rates Reduced
UNION CHIEFS DUBIOUS
Situation Growing Tense as Executives and Employees
 Conference Disbanded

CHICAGO. Oct. 14.-(By the Asso- ciated Press )-Representatives of the nations railroads today announced that they cannot reduce freight rates at present without going into bank ruptcy, and that they would immeGi- ately seek a further reduction in em- ployes' wages from the United States labor board. Later futile confer ence was held with union leaders in an effort to reach an amicable agree ment of wage difficulties which at times have threatened to tie up the transportation system of the country.
 The conference was held at the sug- gesti0n of the union leaders. their in vitation for a meeting being accepted by the rail heads following the an nouncement concerning freight rates.
 The union leaders asked reconsid- eration Of their request of last July that 12 1-2 per cent wage reduction granted by the labor board be not put into effect immediately, but no further wage reductions be sought at present and that no change be made in the overtime pay rate. This re- quest was refused by regional confer ences of the roads at that time.
 Labor Leaders Leave
 In reply to tonight's proposal that the request be reconsidered. the rail heads simply presented their state ment announcing the proposal to seek new reductions and not to reduce rates until further reductions were granted
 The labor leaders left the confer ence immediately and few of them would discuss its proceedings or pre- dict the results.
 'I am no prophet" said Warren s. Stone. president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. What will happen is more than can say"
 The decision of the eXecJIives fol- lowed consideration of numerous rlans and proposals regarding wages and rates. One proposal was for an immediate reduction in freight rates on agricultural commodities, the re- duction to be effective tor SO or % days as a test. This plan met with opposition. most Of the roads main taining they could not exist with low CT rates.
 The announcement was embodied in statement of some l.5OO words reviewing the financial conditions Of the roads.
 It followed an announcement from the labor board that the piece work system of pay had been restored.
 Union chiefs expressed themselves as dubious as to how their men. who have authorized strike rather than accept the recent 12 l-2 per cent wage reduction. would take the various an- nouncements Of the day.
 To Ask Cut At Once
 The roads. in making their an- nouncement. declared that their ac- tion was being taken with the view of lowering freight and passenger rates in the future.
