CHICAGO, Jan. 11--Change in operat-

the railroads was ascribed to-day as one
OF the reasons the railroads are asking
the Railroad Labor Board for modifica-
ton of the national agreements with the

assigned by John C. Walber, member of
the railroad managers committee, who
said the rail- representatives sent when
the agreements were negotiated We're
chosen as subordinates of the regional
directors and were not entirely free to
negotiate as though they represented the
roads under private control.
Continuation of the railroad presenta-
tion occupied the entire day, with few
interruptions. L. T. Whittier. chairman
of the managers committee. read the de-
tailed objections of the roads to the
agreements, illustrating with numerous
examples OF alleged injustice in their
operation.
Objection was made to the rule re-
2arding employees sent out on the road
for emergency service, and an example
was cited in which It was declared the
punitive payment was s62.S4 for four

REPORT FOR MONTH
OF DECEMBER, 1920
Mr.. Chairman, members of commit
tee, your secretary beg leave to sub
init the following report:
The month of December was a month
of very trying difficulties for the asso-
citation from a financial standpoint. but
very gratifying one from the stand
point of rendering service. We believe
without a doubt that the salvation of
this work lies within the power of this
committee to take advantage of every
opportunity to educate the people to
the real object of the association and
give them thorough explanation of
our present condition. The secretary
has discovered this during the month
as never before. A personal interview
with five citizens who made large
pledges to the association but had
failed to pay. The five interviewed
revealed the same feeling of lack of
knowledge of the work this far accom-
plished. After the interview they ex-
press to me their understanding of the
work, pledge themselves to pay their
pledges and use their influence with
their friends to do likewise.
l recommend that publicity and
educational campaign be put on some
time before our financial campaign.
Seven hundred and ninety-five men
and boys visited the association dur
ing the month, including the twenty,
visitors who spoke of the great work
accomplished with the means that we
have to work with and of things to be
accomplished in the future.
During the month $4,000 was col
lected by the secretary ON pledges.
Finance on hand Jan. Is, $4,000.
Amount paid out for same period $s5.
Amount in hand of secretary to date,
$500

Unable to Attend

Lloyd George Cancels Passage
To America Owing to Grave
Crisis in Irish Peace
Negotiations.

London, New. 2.-(By the Associ
ated Press.)-Premier Lloyd George
has definitely Cancelled his passag,
on the steamer Aquitania, on which
he was to have proceeded to III,
United States November 5 TO attent
the Washington conference. Thi'
fact became officially known here TO
night for the first time.
II had been known, however. foi
some days that the critical stage th,
Irish negotiations had reached
probably would prevent Mr.. Lloyc
George from sailing Saturday.
Cancellation by the premier OF hi.
passage is considered a favorable
rather than an unfavorable, sign oI
the progress OF the Irish negotia,
tions. The Interpretation placed or
it is that Mr.. Lloyd George hopes
that 4 few days delay will enable
him to see a settlement reached, ol
at least the basis of an agreement
In this connection importance is at.
tached to the fact that Sir James
Craig, Ulster premier, is coming
Saturday.
There was reason to believe to.
day that a plan OF settlement OF the
Irish question has been drafted and
is being discussed in detail by the
committee representing the govern.
ment and the Irish delegations.
Aside from the recent formal
meetings OF the committee and Of
the conference as whole, there have
been more intimate explorations of
the situation at private meetings.
Negotiations relative to peace in
Ireland have progressed to a point
which makes necessary the presence
in London OF Sir James Craig, the
premier OF Ulster, it was declared
here this morning. Political corre-
spondents of London newspapers to-
day centered their attention upon the
Ulster question and speculated
whether Sir James would soon join
