FRANCE FOLLOWS ENGLAND
Note to WrangeI indicates That
FrinedIy Relations Have Been
Established With the Soviet.

London.-The first Indication that
France may follow England into
rappproachement with Russia was
given by the following ConstantinopIe
dispatch to the Daily Express:
Russians in Constantinople are
most indignant over the action Of
France in sending a peremptory note
to General Baron WrangeI stating
that the French are unable to incur
any further expense on account Of
WrangePs army. France had been
supporting these refugee troops.
France, in the note to General
Wrangel, offered to obtain amnesty
and repatriation to Russia or to as
sist the soldiers otherwise. France
offered to help the Russians to get
to South America as colonists, or sug-
gested that they accept posts in the
French foreign legion
General Wrangel is protesting
against this new attitude of France

PACKING fight
UP TO CABINET
Commission Appointed by Pres
idenf Opens Conference
in Washington,
MAY Be REFERRED TO HARDING
Both Sides in Controversy Remain
Firm and Conference May Result
in a Deadlock.

Washington.-After spending three
three hours and half in conference
with Secretaries Davis, Hoover and
Wallace, representatives of the five
leading packers and of their union en-
ployes adjourned to meet the next
day. None Of those participating in
the conference would make any state
ment as to the progress Of the initial
efforts of the new administration in
mediating a major labor dispute.
The fact that there are to be no
morning conferences was taken to in
dicate that Secretary Davis might
bring the matter as revealed at the
preliminary meeting to the attention
Of President Harding and other mem
bers of the cabinet Secretary Davis
sion with Hugh L. Kerwin, E. P.
Marsh and Howell Davis Of the labor
departments board of conciliators,
who sat in conference.
The packers representatives., Carl
Meyer and James L. Condor, were IN
derstood to have finished stating their
case at 4 O'Clock, having been inter
ployes. Whether the greater part OF
the remaining hour and half was
consumed by the employees in present
ing their side, was not indicated. None
of the cOnferees would indicate wheth
er there was cause for hope that the
questions at issue might be adjusted
and a strike averted.
Secretary Davis, in granting pTi-
Vate hearing to Dennis Lane, secretary
of the unions, and Redmond S. Bren-
nan, their attorney, gave them the
same privilege he had previously CIV
en- Messrs. Condor and Meyer.
Unions allied with the butchers and
meat cutters order sent nine Tepresen-
tatfves to Washington to advise with
the representatives of the employees if
their advice should be needed. Prior
to the joint conference, c. c, Bren-
nan of the International Brotherhood
of Ffremen and Oilers declared that
the allied unions would stand by the

NEW CRISIS WITH GERMANY
Berlin Government Refuses to Pay
Billion Gold Marks Demanded
by Reparations Commission.

Paris--GeTmany, in her reply to the
recent ultimatum Of the allied repara-
tions commission, refuses to pay the
I billion marks gold due on this date

due May L
1t is maintained IN the German note
that the 20 billion marks, which the

sion of experts fix the value of the
German deliveries on reparatiOns ac-
count, but II declares that in any event
IT would be impossible for Germany
TO pay u billion marks by May 1

ferred, II is established that there is

MESOPOTAMIA IS
OPEN TO AMERICA
Commercial Opportunities Are

Settlement, Harding's Cabinet
Learns-Hoover Discusses Trade.

the controversy between the United
States and Great Britain over the
MesopOtamian case, involving specif
ically oil exploitation rights, was dis
closed in connection with a discus.
sion Of foreign relations by President
Harding and his cabinet
Great Britain has brought about the
inclusion in the mandate terms Of a
provision according Americans the
same commercial and industrial -op-
portunities in Mesopotamia as are en-
joyed by the nationals of states that
are members of the League of Ma
tions
Hoover Discussed Russian Trade.
Secretary Hughes of the state de
partment reviewed pending interna-
tiona1 questions for the information OF
the members of the cabinet, and Sec
retary Hoover of the commerce depart
ment initiated a discussion of com
mercial relations with Russia and such
new states as Czecho-Slovakia, Poland
and Jugo SlaVia.
The question Of the peace program
and the League of Nations was not
taken up and no decisions were reach
ed as to policies in connection with
the other international matters dis
cussed, the President desiring Mr.
Hughes merely to lay the groundwork
for future consideration of definite
problems.
One of these definite questions will
be that of sending a representative
to discuss with the League of Nations
council the terms of the mandates as
signed to allied powers for the gov
ernment of former territories of the
central powers. The council has in
Vited the United States to present it's
objections in this manner to the class
A and class B mandates before they
are passed upon by the council.
The Allies Blame Wilson's Methods.
The allies take the position that
there never would have been a contro-
Versy over mandates with the United
States had the Wilson administration
elected to discuss the matter inform
ally. Instead Secretary Colby chose
to open a formal controversy with
Great Britain in an exchange of notes
with attendant publicity productive of
political capital from vigorous twist
ing Of the lions tail.
On the other hand, defenders of the
ex-secretary assert he had failed in
informal discussions with the British
embassy to obtain any Indication that
Great Britain was disposed to concede
the open door in MesODOmania To
American oil development.

WOULD UNITY ALL RAIL LINES
Control as Their Only Salvation
Plan to Congress.

Washington.-Co-Ord of the
facilities and service of the railroads
of the country under strict govern
ment supervision is proposed by the
National Association of Owners of
Railway Securities as a way out of
the present transportation crisis.
The plan will be submitted to Chair
man Cummins of the senate interstate
commerce committee. S. Davies War
field, president of the association, an
noUnced that representatives of his
organization would appear later be-
fore the committee to urge adoption.
Mr.. Warfield says the plan will in
sure an annual saving of millions of
dollars. increase facilities and service
and lower railway fares and rates. He
adds that American transportation
has OutgrOWn the system under which
it now operates and warns that the
railways must recognize that only
drastic measures on their part will
save them from being swallowed up
in the decentralization that govern
ment operation and after-war adjust
ments have brought upon Them
Unless intensive economical meth
GUS III railway administration are
adopted" he continues, there is no
alternative but government operation,
followed by government ownership, al
thought the country has given over
whelming evidence of being opposed
to it."
The proposed plan is supplemental to
provisions of the transportation act
permitting regional consolidation of
physical properties by the interstate
commerce commission.
Certain consolidation of railways
are necessary, Mr.. WaFfield says, but
an emergency now exists, and the pub
lie is entitled to more immediate and
substantial benefits than can be de-
rived from the great PHYSICAL consol-
idatiOns Of railway properties"
The proposed coordination would
be brought about through a national
railway service, to be organized by
an act Of congress, and which also
would be an agency to purchase cars
and other equipment 10 be furnished

PACKER STRIKE
DECLARED OFF
Employers and Workers Reach
Agreement al the Conference
in Washington.
CONCESSIONS BY BOTH SIDES
Packers Agree to Eieht-Hour Day
and Employees Accept 12lz Per
Cent Reduction.

Washington.-Ther will be no
packer strike in Kansas City or else
where.
An agreement between the repre-
sentatives of the packers and the en-
ployees was reached through media
ton Of James ]. Davis, secretary OF
labor.
The employees accepted the cut in
wages put in effect by the packers
recently and did so without the re-
duction being subject to further aTbi-
tration- The packers in turn, agreed
to restore the S-hour day and the old
arrangements for overtime pay, sub
ject, however, TO submitting propos-
ais for changes TO an administrator
whose findings shall be binding on
both sides.
Wartime Agreement Stands.
The much mooted wartime agree
ment between the packers and their
employees-th agreement through
which the union was recognized and
Judge Samuel Alschuler Of Chicago,
was made administrator to arbitrate
all differences-Has continued until
September 10. 1t then terminates, al
together, and all arrangements under
it. The relations between the pack
ers and the employees then viii be
exactly the same as they were before
the war.
More significant to the country than
the maintenance Of industrial peace
in the packing industries with its
20O,O employees, however, is what
the decision means in the readjust-
ment struggle now on between en-
ployer and employee, the country
over. 1t marks the turning of the
road definitely and finally on wages
For the outcome represents the first
time in years when any great indus
try has submitted its claims to medi-
alton of the government and after a
full consideration Of all elements, Ia
Dor has accepted a decrease in pay
Wage Cuts Average 121z Per Cent.
The wage cuts, which representa-
tives Of the men agreed to without
further arbitration, amount to cents
an hour for hourly workers and 121z
per cent for piece workers. or an
average cut all around of 1919 per
cent. Indirectly, it puts official sane
ton on wage cuts to keep pace with
the lowering cost OF living.
