(By The Associated pressl

LONDON, July 5.-The parliamentary
correspondent of the London Times saws
that well informed quarters expect Ea-
NOM de Valera to reply to Premier
Lloyd George with a counter proposal
While declaring that it is impossible to
state the exact Sim Fein opinion on the
SUBJECT he says it has been suggested in
some quarters that the Sim Feiners
would prefer, if they enter a London con-
ference to have it called by the king and
nave chairman who is not a direct rep
resentative of the British government
rather than Mr.. Lloyd George.
The correspondent cites the Buckinp-
ham Palace conference in 1914 as a pre-
cedent. 1t was called by the king, and
The speaker of parliament was in the
chair He adds that it is also suggested
that the overseas dominions be repre-
sented, dominion premier occupying the
chair.
Regarding the cessation of fighting he
observes that an unofficial truce IAN I'M
Outstanding binding on the leaders and
enforced as far as possible on the scat
tered units" is thought more advisable
than formal cessation of hostilities For

duced to invest in the corporation on
promises of large returns but had re-
ceived no dividends.
The company, incorporated in Virginia,

REIMBURSEMENT OF
RATES IS PROPOSED
Would Result in General Increase of
Tariffs and in Revenues of
Carriers.
(By The Assoclated Press. ,

WASHINGTON July 5.-Readjust-
ments of freight rates in the Missis-
sippi valley proposed by railroads
serving that territory would result in
a general increase OF tariffs and in the
revenues of the carriers, and would
burden shippers with the additional
expense of railroad operation in the
southwest, the Mississippi railroad
commission declared today in a brief
filed with the interstate commerce
commission.
The establishments were proposed by
the carriers to comply with an order
of the interstate commerce commission
to eliminate the difference in rates
between points on the Mississippi and
Ohio rivers and the gulf, based on
water competition on the one hand, and
rates to intermediate points on the
other.
The case involves all the rates from
very large portion of the United
States to the Mississippi valley.
Throughout the entire history of
railroads in Mississippi, from the be-
ginning to the present time" says the
brief, "the rates at the Mississippi riv-
er. Ohio river and gulf points have
been depressed and lower than the
rates at intermediate points due to
water competition"
Numerous conferences have been
held between the interested parties in
an effort to arrive at rate adjust
ment but no agreement was found pos
sible and the carriers acting upon the
insistence of the commission that the
order must be compiled with. publish
ed and filed new commodity schedules
which have been suspended from time
to time. Protests against the proposed
schedules We're based upon the in
creases which tn shirping interests
contended were unwarranted and not
contemplated in the order of the com
mission.
The carriers contended that the pro-
posed adjustment was necessary to
preserve the revenue of the carriers
operating through the southwest and
through the southeastern territory.
The Mississippi railroad commits
sion's brief declared that 1t was a
matter Of common knowledge that the
rates in the Mississippi valley should
be on materially lower level than in
the states of Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas.
mo material advantage in service
would accrue to the shippers in Missis-
sippi by the establishment OF the rro-
posed adjustment merely for the par
pose Of keeping the southwestern lines
in the Mississippi valley traffic" the
brief said. In other words. so far as
the state Of Mississippi is concerned,
the proposed adjustment is one of bur-
den without any compromising advan-
tage."
