OFF RAIL DISPUTE
PRESIDENT IN REPLY TO LABOR

TO CONGRESS.
lLSONANSWERSUN|ON
CONFIDENCE is EXPRESSED BY
CHIEF EXECUTIVE IN RAIL
ROAD LABOR BOARD.

Washington, Feb. 7.-President vii.
son has refused the request of railroad
labor union representatives that he In
vestigate railroad executives claims
before the Railroad Labor Board that
the carriers must adjust wages or face
bankruptcy.
He also declined to submit the mat
ter to Congress.
Confidence was expressed by the
President chat all questions dealing
with railroad and management might
be left safely to the Railroad Labor
Board and the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
He accordingly informed the labor
and railroad representatives that ne
was submitting copies of kilograms re-
ceived from them to these bodies.
The Presidents telegram said:
"I have considered the kilograms al
dressed to me dealing with h iaDor
questions and railroad management
under consideration by the Railroad
Labor Board.
"The transportation act places all
questions dealing with finances and
railway management N rates under
the jurisdiction of he Interstate COM
MERGE Commission, hence all questions
involving the expense of operation, the
necessities of the railways and the
amount of money necessary to secure
the successful operation, nOv are I'M
der the Jurisdiction Of the commission
"Tbe act placed all questions of dis
mute between carriers and their EN-
Moves and subordinate officials under
tbe Jurisdiction of the Railway Labor
Board, sitting in Chicago.
$50 far as | am advised, the board
may be relied on TO give carefui anu
intelligent consideration to all qnes'
lions within its jurisdiction.
"To seek to influence either body on
ANYTHING which has been placed within
their jurisdiction by Congress wou'd
be unwise and open TO grave objection.
cit would be manifestly unwise for
me, therefore, to take any action
which would interfere with the order
ly procedure of the Interstate Com
merce Commission or Of the Hallway
Labor Board, and all the matters
mentioned in your telegram are WITHIN
the jurisdiction of one or the other OF
the bodies, and in their action ! think
we may repose confidence.
at does not seem wise to comply
with your suggestion that the matter
be submitted TO Congress, and the
only action deemed necessary is to
submit copies of the kilograms To the
Interstate Commerce Commission and

be done"

ternational Association of Machinists;

CUT RHINE EXPENSE
DEBT OF GERMANY CONSIDERED
BY ALLIES TO REDUCTION OF
24o, ooo, 900 GOLD MARKS.

Rome, Feb. S.-FOreign Minister
Sforza In the Chamber of Deputies an
%nounced that al the meeting of the SUI
preme Council il was decided To reduce
the expense L o Germany of the allied
| occupation of the Rhine to 2i0,000,0O0
gold marks.
Count Sforza said that in fixing the
was necessary Ia consider Germany's
debt and her capacity 10 pay.
This WAS difficult because Germany
had failed 10 supply data.
The conference, he added, wished
for payments in proportion IL Ger
many's growing prosperity.
He said that although for obvious
reasons, Germany had declined 10 pub
fish statistics of her economic Situa'
tion, this could not conceal the phe'
nomenon that daily was becoming ap-
parent, the contrast between the eco
nomic and financial condition of Ger
many.
In economic matters, Germany, he
said, WAS showing Il tendency To re.
gain her former flOurishing position,
but her financial position WAS growing
worse, and there was reason Ia antici-
pate n serious crisis.
Abiding to Turkey, Count Sforza
said he favored direct negotiations
with the Angora government.

concerning concessions 10 Germany by
reducing the cost of the lshineland oc.
cupation to about tl2,00.00o, which is
only about oHe-siXth of the present
cost, is the first official announce
ment in this respect, although it pre-
viously had been limited.
As the treaty provides for fifteen
years Of occupation, this reduction
will make an enormous difference in
the German budget.
Germany has given notice that il
will reply shortly TO the allied invita-.
ton to send representatives Ia the
reparations conference in London
March /, il was officially stated.
Because of the preparation neces'
sary il was found that Feb. %, the

glo-French program, particularly since

examine into Germany's counte pro
poSals.

Now the country Is told, through a
recent leaflet from the National Edu-

Educational authorities who have
studied conditions carefully, estimate
that Of the G00,00O public school teach
ers in the United States, 100000 are
under the g Of t~wenty-one; 10000
have no education beyond the eighth
grade; 10000 have no education be-
yond the third year in high school I:
$4,000 (4-5 of the total) have not
had two years special training. the
minimum recognized standard in other
civilized countries; 10000 temporary
teachers have not even fulfilled our
own low educational requirements"
All over the United States today
there are schools, lyceums, lecture
courses and various other means pro-
vided for the Americanization of the
newly arrived immigrant. Some mem
bers of congress say that a crea; many
American citizens of long descent need
Americanization just as much as do
some Of the immigrants. Education.
In their opinion, is necessary for a
thorough Americanization, not only Of
the incoming foreigner. but Of the chill
dren Of Americans of long descent.
Joseph II. Defrees. who is the presi-
dent Of the United States Chamber
Of Commerce. said in Washington re-
,ertly that conditions in our pubic
schools undoubtedly contribute much
To the unrest In this country today.
He added that the situation had be-
come so serious that 1t no longer could

local interest. but should be treated
as a national issue to be solved through
the cooperation Of state and nation.
