CONDEMNS ATTITUDE OF
 RAILROADS TOWARD LABOR

New York, April 10.-Haley Fiske. president of the Metropolitan Life Insur- ance Company and a member of the exc cutiVe committee of the National AsSo- ciation of Owners of Railroad Securities informed A. H. Smith. president Of the New York Central Railroad. in a letter given out here today, that some rail- roads are making a mistake in their at tltude toward labor. It was in reply to MT. Smiths letter to s. Davies WarfieId. president of the association, taking ex- ception to the position of the associa tion's executive committee in conferring with representatives of railroad employees.
 Your assumption" Mir. Fiske wrote that in seeking a conference with the laoor representatives, the most import ant element in the present problem, we were pretending to represent you on your board was quite unwarranted. We very frankly put our real position before these organizations and the public. We think the present truculent attitude of some railroad administrations towards the op- eratives and the uniens a great mistake which may lead to disaster. and that it Is time that all concerned in the prop- critics should show conciliatory disposi- tions."
 Mir. Fiske stated that the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company holds securities
 
 it's subsidiaries amounting to nearly s23,- DOC, poo par value. In addition. 1t has on it's books loans and agreements to loan over $9.0oO.o00 on bonds and mortgages upon real estate to finance your opera tions in the neighborhood of your termi- nal"
 Altogether" the letter continues. "our financial interest amounts to s32. .O0n. .oOn. This is about 15 per cent. of our total in- vestment in railroad sesirities.
 Our interest in your company is a vi- tai one. It Is very disturbing to read that you are disposed to ignore this in- terest It is even more disturbing to | find yourself and the board resent any action on our part to protect our inter- | ests.
 None of the railway mana gements has l thought 1t wise 10 seek any counsel or to recognize in any way the serious sttua- 1 ton in which we find ourselves On tho other hand you are ohjecting. if you will pardon us for saying 90. in an offensive not to say impertinent. way. to our on. ] deavor to protect our own investments We feel that we had right to expec cooperation and help rather than opposi | tion"
 And now that our conference is over the letter concluded. I've feel that VI, have accomplished much. Tn our opin ion 1t Is time that all of the interests investors. administrators and operati tive | get together and that 1t is not a tim for recrimination.'

on France by the Turks may have had some influence in the evacuation of Cili- cia as well as in the >nclusion of formal understanding between the two governments.
 Great Britain is today not only su- preme in the Neast East" the national ist statement declares. but also in the whole world. and France finds herself underths domination. Turkey under stands perfectly well that the struggle which she pursues today Is neither against Greeks or against the French but instead wholly against the British"
 The Near Eastern policy of Great Britain was represented as being direct ed against France and that of the latter as endeavorinE to maintain intact an independent Turkey Crltislsm, however. was made of the pursuit by France of
 certain economic interests, contrary ts the vital interests of the Tirks.T
 The evacuation of Ciicia by Francs, . the statement said. would so strength en the government of Anatolia that all plans of British formation would be very shortly effectually checked"
