 Meantime as a result of the defeat yesterday of the proposal to exempt from taxation incomes of foreign traders and foreign trade corpora tions received from sources outside of the United States. the majority leaders sent out hurry call to absent Repub- lican senators to return.

WITHDRAWAL IF
 AMERICAN ARMS FROM RHINE TO BE BEGUN SOON
President Will Issue A Peace Proclamation To Restore Normal Condi- tions When Negotiations End
IRepubIican A. P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Oct. 21-The for mal terms of ratification of the peace sreaties with Germany and Australia have been sent forward to Berlin and Vienna. it was announced today. As soon as these formal exchanges have been completed with the former en- ernv powers. ii is expected that inn mediate steps will be taken to set up diplomatic machinery and resume full normal relations with these gov ernments.
 f American troops will begin moving out of Germany immediately upon the exchange of notifications on the German treaty, it was added. The movement, it was said, will be nor nal but slow, and will begin in ap- proximately two weeks.
 Withdrawal of the troops, it was said had been delayed, because their presence in Germany had proven to be far from obnoxious and even de- sirable to the government and the people of Germany There are now approximately 15,000 Americans on the Rhine.
 A proclamation of peace will be issued on completion of exchange of notifications, it was stated. It had been felt in some quarters that the proclamation would be unnecessary because of the peace resolution adopt ed by congress. but the presidents s thought. it was added, was that by is suing a proclamation, all legal tech- nfcalities would be compiled with.
 Attention was called to the fact that some important statutes con tain clauses based on the promulga- tion of suct proclamation, and while the legal arm. of the government saw no actual differ ence in a proclama- ton and a resolution, it was said, the president had practically decided to proclaim formally a state of peace and eliminats possibilities of future controversies.
 Exchange of notifications was ex- pected by officials to be completed in about 10 days. Administration leaders declared President Harding would take no steps to establish dip lomatic machinery until about tn time the official document signed b, the German authorities has arrived It was said .se might give considera ton to the names of possible ambas sadors and others of the staff of tn American embassy in Berlin earlier
 The announcement that troop would begin moving homeward i about two weeks was in line with tn expressed belief that the ratification exchanges would be ready by tha time. Meanwhile, army transport will be made ready.
 Government officials are proud c the record made by the America troops. declaring their influence ha been manifestly good. Praise als was given commanders of the troor who were described as having han died admirably many situations of potential controversial nature.

standard unions which had voted for strike without calling one and the "big five" Leaders of several of these organizations had an nounced that they would attempt to keep their men from walking out despite overwhelming strike votes and had expressed hope that if their attenibts were successful. their fail ure to support the big five" might avert a walkout.
 Other union leaders, however, said that it was by no means certain as yet that majority of the II organ izations would walk out It became known that the meetings of the con ference committee of 100 of the six shop crafts unions, number 476, ,000 men, have been stormy, the chair men splitting over what strike rec concentrations should be made to the 1000 general chairmen who will go into session tomorrow or Sunday
 Shop Crafts Enigma
 A report submitted to the commit tee authorizing a strike was sent back to the executive council to be rewritten it was said, although it could not be learned whether the new report would oppose a walkout or simply urge postponement of action. Where leaders of these groups a few days ago admitted they probably could hold back their men. tonight they appeared more confident of keeping them from joining a strike.
 Maintenance of way men cast a vote of 9S per cent in favor of strike, 5000 men voting to quit, their officials announced, and their leaders tonight completed plans for walkout, declaring it would be in ''an orderly and w-abiding manner" It was announced that the chieftains felt they were forced to authorize l strike with such an overwhelming vote in favor of 1t. Stationary fire men made virtually the same an- nouncement their vote for a strike l being given out as 92 per cent
 1 Our chairmen voted unanimously ! to go along with the other unions" said Timothy Healy, president of ths 1 stationary firemen. We are strong l ly of the opinion that many roads want a strike and that they believe a waIkout will give them an oppor- | tunity to destroy the unions. but the men have voted and we cannot go against their wishes.
 we realize a railroad strike now would be bad for business generally. and I sincerely trust it can be avert ed in such a way as not to injure the unions. The president anG the government may still find a way to i prevent the walkout and I think it is l in their province to do so-,'
 The telegraphers and the clerks also held meetings tonight but they 1 were largely of preliminary nature. final action being expected tomorrow or Sunday. The telegraphers had l planned to confer with B. NJ. Jewell. head of the shop crafts tonight. but the meeting was postponed when it was learned AIr.Jewelrs organization had postponed action. It was said | that the telegraphers' action would depend much on the attitude of the
 shop crafts.

WHITE PLAINS, N. T., Oct. 21- Members of the Rockefeller family interested in the $37,000,000 trust funds created by the will of the late James Stillman today opposed efforts to draw them and all other potential beneficiaries into the divorce litiga- ton begun by James A. Stillmau, banker, against the former Eff Pot ter and Baby Guy Stillman.
 Through counsel they argued against a motion which would have all potential beneficiaries show cause why they should not be made code fendants with Mrs. Shllman and two-year-old Guy, whose paternity MT. Stillman impugned. This move was made by J. E. Mack, guardian for Guy, who told Supreme Court Justice Morschauser that his pur- pose was to settle in the one divorce action both the paternity of the child and his right share in the fortune left by the elder Stillman.
 A. F. Jenks. counsel for Mrs. Percy A. Rockefeller and Mrs. William Rockefeller, sisters of James A. Still man, contended this would bring into

GOVERNMENT ORDERS RAIL MEN NOT TO STRIKE
Schwab Says Too Much Government
 In U. s. Business
rRennhIican A. p. Leased Wirel


 CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-- Charles M. Schwab. chairman of the executive board of the Bethlehem Steel Cor poration, told members of the Ameri- can Mining Congress at their annual banquet tonight that to his mind there is nothing in the business sit uation, which time and the laws of trade and economies, will not straighten out. The danger, he said, lies in the effort to force an adjust ment through legislation.
 Legislators must give American industry an opportunity to adjust itself, he said The country already is suffering from an excess of na- tional, state and municipal overhead, he added.
 He expressed the opinion that there is no justifiable reason for government interference with or re- organization of the coal industry. Prices have dropped irregularly. he said. Wages have gone down in some lines and are maintained in others. Short time has reduced the earnings of many worlxnen and un- employment has put heavy burden on many more.
 "Products of the farm have dropped to about pre-war levels, and the high cost of transportation in- vades deeply the farmers marrow margin.
 Yet the railroad workers resent any reduction in wages which will make a lowering of freight rates possible. |
 sEvsrywhere the process of re- adjustment is creating discord and discontent. Everywhere our people want to hold on to what the war brought in the matter of increase ot income and want to lay the sacrifice involved in deflation on some other back.
 Russia embarked on the plan of centralizing the control of all indus try in government hands, and no one is anxious to take another chance al that experirnent" he said.
