'HERR|CK TO ACCEPT
0LDPOST IN PARIS
Formal Nomination to Be
Made Soon-WiII Go to
France This Summer.

BY the Associated Press.
Myron T. Herrick has decided to ac-
cept appointment as American ambas-
sador to France, a post he filled under
President Taft, and which he occupied
at the beginning Of the world war. Mr..
Herrick's formal nomination will be
the early summer.
Z Mr.. Herrick, 1t Is understood, was Of
.fered the post some time ago by Presi-
dent Harding. but, his friends say, was
reluctant to accept it because he felt
he should devote the remainder Of bis
life to personal affairs. Since he left
the diplomatic service Mr.. Herrick has
sustained personal nisfortuntes which
included the death Of his wife and a
grandson. and more recently was i'll him
self and went to the Hawaiian Islands in
search Of health. The principal trouble
was an infection in one Of his eyes,
which. however, has now been cleared
up. Beside that. Mr.. Herrick's friends
business ventures which he felt demand
ed his attention.
Acceptable to France.
Although President Harding's mind
turned to Me. Herrick when he began
to think Of filing the Paris post word
came to Washington from France t%at
the selection Of the former ambassa-
dor for his old post would be received
there with qualification among the
government and the people. There
was nothing official about it, but. it
was explained today, the word came
just about the same time as admins
tration leaders here were suggesting
to Mr.. Harding that he press Mr.. Her
rick to accept.
4 The former a hos haan
considering the offer for several weeks
and has only just given his accept
ance. He has told friends he feels
that inasmuch as his own government
and such public feeling in France as
has been expressed call him, he feels
affairs he cannot neglect what he con-
siderS a duty.
Confronted With Paying Rent.
: In going to Paris again Mr.. Herrick
will find himself confronted with per-
sonally paying the rent for his en-
bassy building unless some way can
be found to meet the expense out of
other funds of the State Department.
One of the provisions of the last
diplomatic appropriation bill cut off
that expenditure. This was one of the
drawbacks to securing Mr. Herrick's
acceptance, it was said, because, con-
trary to popular belief, he is not a
wealthy man. although he has been
successful in the conduct of his per-
sonal business affairs, and he was not
convinced that he could afford to pro-
vide an embassy himself out of the
salary Of an ambassador. Entertain
ment. which figures as a large expense
for an ambassador. probably will be
small one for Mr. Herrick, for he goes
to the post practically alone. and with
the intention of devoting himself to
the problems of the Office rather than
the social season.
Mr.. Herrick conferred today with
a number Of State Department Of
ficials, continuing with them a dis
cussion Of French affairs which was
started with President Harding.
Later in the day he was the guest
of Jules J. Jusserand, the French
ambassador, at dinner.

INDUSTRIAL CRISIS
HA[TSFOR MOMENT
British Mining Negotiations
Reopen Following Vote of
Transport Men to Aid Strike.
By the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 6.-The great in
dustrial crisis with which Great Brit
ain was faced this morning as re-
suit of the bitter wage war between
the mine owners and the miners. with
strikes by the railway men and the
transport workers in addition to the
miners strike. threatening the public.
has found at least temporary relief.
At the eleventh hour Mr.. Lloyd
George, the prime minister. inter-
vened with an Invitation to both sides
Of the mining dispute to meet repre-
sentatives of the government and re-
open negotiations. After serious de-
liberation the contending forces de.
| cided to accept the mediation offer.
Postpones New Measures.
No time has as yet been set for the
reopening of the discussions. but the
acceptance of the premier's invita-
ton. 1t is pointed out. can be taken
only to mean that the colleagues of
the miners in the triple alliance-the
railroad men and the transport work
ers-will take no active measure to
support the miners while the peace
negotiations are proceeding.
industrial clouds just at the time
when it seemed certain the storm was
about to break and involve Great
Britain in the greatest disaster in
it's history. The great coal industry
was already at standstill. with
many mines going to ruin. and de-
pendent industries. such as the steel
business. closing down.
The transport workers of the en-
tire country this morning decided to
support the miners to the fullest ex-
tent, which meant a general trans
port strike il necessary, and the rail-
way men were credited with the in
tention Of taking similar action,
which would result in the complete
tie-up of all the country's business.
Feared Bitter Fight.
Meantime the government was dis
tributing troops. diverting warships
ing other precautionary moves To
the general public it looked like a.
fight to the bitter end.
At this juncture the prime minister.
Mr.. Lloyd George. stepped in with
his mediation proposal.
At the meeting Of the triple alli-
ance this afternoon, at which it had
been intended to determine what ac-
tion should be taken to support the
miners. a decision was postponed. J.
H. Thomas. general secretary Of the
National Union of Railwaymen,
merely announced that the triple al
lance had considered how best to
assist the miners in their struggle"
and that 1.-The miners answered satis-
factorily all the questions put to
them"

BILLS BEFORE CONGRESS.
Facts About Measures Now Puz-

Government departments found
themselves tremendously puzzled to-
day over the part which they have
been called to play in what appears
to be an impending battle royal be-

Senator Smoot

piled TO their organizations the cIassi-
fAtion drawn up by Herbert ID.
Brown Of the bureau of efficiency'
have been asked from the Capitol TO
apply the classification of the measure
Of Representative Lehlbach to their
various bureaus and employees.
Department officials rested on their
oars today. hardly knowing what to
do about the matter. and not wishing
to take any action that might offend
proponents of either reclassification
measure. yet balked at the immense
task which they have been asked TO
DO
For the past several weeks the
whole question of reclassincation has
become more and more muddled. un-
I'll today clerks in the departments,
hardly know what 10 think of the
matter
II is understood that department
officials are extremely reluctant to
comply with the request from the
Capitol to apply to their bureaus and
workers the classif1catIons of the
Lehlbach bill. but scarcely know how
ito get out of doing it.
Hoping for Agreement.
