1t Is going to be more than an "open
door" in this regard; there will be
no door at all but an archway of
welcome for the suggestions of the
powers.
1t is again pointed out that what
ever is accomplish ed by the confer
ence must be through general agree
ment and not by majority vote.
No nation can be bound against its
will to carry out any policy agreed upon
by the others. and the concurrence OF
the governments will be necessary to
enectuate the agreements reached by
the delegates.
All ON Equal Footing.
President Harding made II clear In the
inception OF the conference that 1t
should be an affair Of good will, an
effort of the nations concerned to gather
in friendly spirit around the council
board In endeavor to reach, through
general agreement, solution of grave
problems now vexing and menacing the
future.
In such a meeting all participants
would be upon an equal footing and
consideration Of the opinions and in
terests Of all should be given due
weight in the spirit Of amity and good
will.

strike orders from officers of the big
four railroad brothehoods and the

said, in order to forestall possible in

ment.

red by the failure of the Railway La
Dor Board to bring forth any hope
of settlement, began polls to ascer-
tain as nearly as possible what pro-
portion of their employees Intended

Truck and Water Transportation.
Secretary Hoover in announcing
yesterday that the Department of
Commerce was prepared to serve as a
focal point for efforts of state and
governments to assure the
of food. fuel and other pri-
mary commodities, in event of the
strike, indicated that motor truck and
water transportation would be used
to supplement any portion of the rail-
roads left in operation. Traffic ex-
perts have computed that. through the
proper use of motor equipment, the
average American city can draw sub
sistence from contiguous territory
within a radius of fifty miles. Under
this plan, il was said. a community
would not feel the effects of a natioL-
al strike before several weeks h.d
passed, instead of in a few days. as
would have been the case ten years
ago.

that large industries generally Nve
