Washington: Government officials awaited official report from the labor board before taking the next step in an effort to prevent the walkout.
 Cleveland: Brotherhood chiefs re- turned to their headquarters and continued their plans.
 St. Louis: Managers of the South western roads met to arrange their program for operation of the roads 1n the event of strike
 San Antonio: Six hundred mem bers of Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen employed on International , ed to walk out at noon tomorrow, the first union authorized to quit under the strike orders issued here last Sat- ur6ay.
 vision by the Unions for suspending the railroad strike called for October 30 made it impossible to accept the plan offered by the United States Rail- road Labor Board yesterday it was said today in union circles.
 The board, it was said, presented three proposals to the presidents of the big four brotherhoods and the switchmen'se union. They were:
 The railroads to make a -reduc- ton in freight rates corresponding to the wage reduction of July l, less such reductions as have already been made since that date.
 2-The roads to refrain from ask ing the United States Railroad Labor Board for a further wage reduction until the last cut has been translated into rate reductions.
 3-The unions to suspend or with draw their strike order.
 The five unions presidents were willing to accept the first two, but d eclared they had made no arrange lnetns for suspending their strike and any settlement must be made before October 30 ,or a walkout would auto matically become effective.
 The board, 1t was reported today, assured the union leaders that the railroads could not get decision for months even if they filed their pro- posed request for a ten per cent. wage reduction immediately.
 The board is understood to have pointed out that cases now on the docket would prevent taking up the railroads application before next March and that the bulk of testimony naturally expected in a case of such importance would stave off the de- cision for another six months, mak- ing 1t highly improbable that the roads could get an answer before next August or September.
 The railroad brotherhood leaders made no effort to conceal their dis appointment that the board had nothing else to offer. In union cir cles today was a seeming resignation to the belief that the strike now is inevitable, unless President Harding assumes the Initiative with some drastic step.

Suit Involves
 Ownership OF
 Right Of Way

Judge Walsh in the Common Pleas court today heard evidence in an action involving an ancient right OF way, The right of way in question is a strip of land 20 feet wide Fun- ming northeray 150 feet from North avenue between French street ana Parrott avenue, It is now land of considerable value and litigation has arisen as to the ownership of II. It adjoins the property of Frank Schaak of eos North avenue. Ths Efght or way is portion of a larger right or way laid out by the heirs of EbenezeE French, 50 years ago. The hedrs OF Ebenezer French claim that the right of way has bean aband ohed ana George Way and Mrs. John Partridge with other heirs deeded this land te Joseph P. Doray. MT, Doray placed lumber an the ground and was a4houe to erect a building when Frank Schaak applied dor an injunction re- straining him from erecting tho building.
 MT Schaak claims that the right of way has been in use all the years that he has owned the adjoining ies and that he is entitled to this use IA connection with his land. Many ef the neighbors appeared in court and testified as to the use to which thla right of way has been put since 1t was laid out.

In
 Storehouse
 Fire $1 800

Starting in the rear on the second floor near a stairway, fire swept through a storehouse owned by Augustus Gunnara, at 13S Calhoun avenue early this morning, and total ly destroyed the building and its con- tents. The damage was figured today at S1,800. Fire department officials have started an investigation to deter mine the origin of the blaze.
 The owner, who conducts a grocery and butcher store in Linen avenue, used the building, a two and one-ha1f story structure, for storing surplus stock. He told the f1remen that matches were stored in the place along with other goods, and it may have been these that started the con- dagration.
 The blaze was first noticed by a pedestrian at 2:15 o'clock this morn tng, and an alarm was inam ediaae ely turned in from Box No. 332. A few minutes later another alarm was sent In from Box No. 342. By the time the firemen arrived, the building was fairly ablaze and there was but lit tie chance to remove the stored goods to a place of safety.
 Bremen have estimated the loss at $500 on the building, and $1,0OO on the stock. No one was injured in fighting the flames.

. Although he was beaten by 748 votes in the primaries, Mayor Clifford B Wilson was nevertheless enabled. owing to the inequalities of the system Of representation, to get a majority of the delegates.
 The Cooper resolution proposes td prevent a similar victory of the min- ority over the majority for the fu- ture by having the candidate for mayor nominated at large.
 Although the mayors delegates re- fused to accept rules letting the Re- publican party in, they adopted rules to keep themselves in and did it over the strongly registered protest df the delegates representing the majority in the primaries.
 The bttterest part of the fight against the machine change of rules, by which the town chairman will be able to displace any district chairman not acceptable to the mayor was made in 8 two hour caucus which preceded the convention
 we tried to put some of our own ideas through fn the caucus but the steam roller was in good working or der As long as am tnortty of the party has 8 majority of the delegates there is nothing for us to do but register our protest against the pro- ceedings.
 t'In these words Andrew M. Cooper su1nrne ed up the attitude of the Voters League on the floor of the convention last night after the Leaguers had bat lIeo LOT uHO III Ce1uCuS dSdAtSS the majority without being able to accomplish anything.
 The story of the meeting could also be completely described by the fig ures 21 to 15. The same lineup that was in evidence last week was there again last night the administration delegates refusing to give the League any of their demands. Mr. Cooper asked for a roll call vote on each measure and each time the secretary announced the same figures after the

Communists Come Here
 Cause Trouble

Paris, Oct. 21-(By the A. PA French police official asserted today that more than 100 members of the young communist organization in Europe had slipped through the im- migration lines and reached the Unit ed States within the last two months for the purpose of ''causing trouble if the two Italians, Sacco and Van zetti, were executed for the murder of which they were convicted in Mass achusetts last summer.
 Many of these men, the officials said, had applied for passports to the. American passport bureau in Paris and had been refused, but were ab1e to get to America by others means. The police are now working on the theory that some of these communists who failed to get through the lines were responsible for the bomb sent to Ann bassador Herrick.
 Ambassador Herrfck. when he re- turned to his office this morning, found 6S additional letters of protest in connection with the Massachusetts case, two of them containing threats of reprisals against Americans if the executions took place. The guard at the embassy was increased today and every possible precautfon has been taken to protect the passport bureau, the separations commission offices and the American consulate.
 The Communists mass meeting of protest against the conviction of the two Italians, caRed for tonight in one or the largest hallS or Paris, IS causing some apprehension and the Republican guard has been called ou. to keep order and prevent demon sbrations of any kind in front of the embassy or the other American of- fees.
 London, Got. 21-Scotland Yard to- day took measures to guard the American embassy from attack by British communists. Following the disclosure that George Harvey, the American ambassador, had been rs- ceiving threatening letters for a week, communist leaders have begun open and active preparations for a great mass meeting on Sunday and a dem- onstratiou in front of the American embassy. The demonstrators will de- mand the release of Niccofo Sacco and Bartolemeo vanzetti in the United States. Sylvia Pankhurst ed- ttor of the communist newspaper, ''The Workers. Dreadnought,' is one of those an charge of the arrange ments for the demonstration.

 London, Oct. 21.-Great Britain is planning a great spectacular move on the very eve, of the Washington Dis armament Conference toward cancel lation of Allied debts. .t'
 The International News Service was informed by a high British authori- ty today that Great Britain is consid- ering a definite plan to wipe out all debts owed her by the other Allied nations.
 The movement has the approval of the cabinet, the treasury and the fRr- eign office, 1t was learned. Business msn have also indicated they favored such a movement. The only doubt remaining is whether the British pEb- lie will take kindly to the proposal
 British officials pointed out that such a step would enormously en- nance British prestige and would have a strong influence upon ex- change throughout the world in favor of Great Britain and would give the empire a strong grip on universal markets It also. it was stated, would help to solve the unenlploy- ment problem.
 Washington, Oct 21-News that Great Britain is planning a spectacu- lar move on the eve of the armam ent conference here by announcing can her by her erstwhile allies. evidently in the hope that such a step will move the United States to follow suit was read with absorbing interest by officials and members of Congress today,

Robinson
 Explained
 His Stand

City Clerk J. Alex H. Robinson stated this morning that he went be- fore the delegates in caucus last night and notified them just where he would stand if he were elected Town Chairman. He, told them that he was not seeking the position but that if he were elected he would follow the wishes of Mayor Wilson in reorganiz- ing the Town committee and he want ed them to know ahead of time what he felt that now that Wilson had won out for the head of the ticket, 1t was up to all the Republicans to back him up and to present unified front. the subject he will hold a confer ence this afternoon with the mayor and with Mrs. F1eck and other lead CTS to determine the make up of the committee.
 It Is known that several of the pres ent district heads are sure to be drop ped, but who will take their place is purely a matter of speculation so far. The only thing that is known is that when the committee has been re- made, 1t will be strictly an adnninis- tration affair. It was this attitude of changing the party rules so that W1l- son could have anything that he wanted that particularly dissatisfied the League delegates last night.
 In addition to having lost that fac ton of the party the mayor stands a good chance of losing a great many others which have been known all along as machine clements. The bolt of Primrose is probably only one of those which will come within the next few days, If Tesiny Is deposed. as he undoubtedly will be, 1t is more than likely that he will also desert the ranks. The action of the delegates last night in overthrowing John Leon- ard as Town Chairman. in spite of many pleas that he, should not be cast out when he was too sick to ap- pear in his own defense is sure to lose the support of many of his friends. of whom he has an unusually large number.
 At this afternoons conference plans for the coming campaign will also be discussed, The mayor stated this morning that although he did not have any definite plans as yet he would wago an active speaking oam- paign, beginning probably some time next week. He refused to comment on the criticisms of the League men on the way his supporters had gained control of the party machinery.

 Adjourned

London. Oci. 21.-The threatened break up of the Irish peace confer ,ence today over the obstacle of recall citrant Ulster failed to take place. After a session of nearly two hours the barley adjourned this afternoon until Monday afternoon. The Sim Fein delegates left the prenier's off, cial residence shortly after l o'clock and hurried to their headquarters for a consultation among themselves.
 The stand pat attitude of the Ul- ster Unionists and Eamonn De Val erals message to the pope saying 1re- land would insist upon independence had cast dark clouds upon the peace horizon when the conference was re- newed.

How Open Door Rule Would Work
 In Primaries

Much curiosity was expressed in political circles. this morning. as to the effect of the Open Door amend ment which Andrew M. Cooper offered in the Republican convention last night.
 The most important change was that which thereafter would secure the nomination of the mayor by di- rect primary vote.
 ,s In the recent primary the delegates opposed to the Republican candidate for mayor got more than 4,oo0 votes and had a majority of 74S:
 Under the Cooper rule the cand1- date with the majority vote would have been nominated,
 i, Under the Cooper rule the places on the Republican ticket. other than mayor would be selected by dele- gates in convention. as at present.
 Each district would choose one de1- egate for each 176 Republican voters who voted for the Republican cand1- date for mayor in the election next preceding. and one for each major fraction of 1T5.
 The last preceding election for mayor was in 1919. The Third Dis trict cast the smallest number Of votes. 46e. The Third District, under the rule would have had three dele gates, as at present, because 175 dd- vides twice into 469. and leaves a major fraction which would entitle to three delegates.
 The Firth District cast 1,2Ss votes for the Republican candidate for mayor and would be entitled to seven delegates, The apporttonment for all the districts is shown as follows.
 Under the Cooper. or Open Door plan, the delegate convention would substantially represent the Repubh- cans and it would not be easy for large majority of the party to be set aside by minority.
