SECRETARY HUGHES HAS SENT
 NAVAL MESSAGE TO BRIAND

Washington, Dec Is (By the A. P.).- Secretary Hughes as chairman of the armament conference has communicated directly with Premier Briand of France regarding the situation which has devel- oped as a result of the stand of the French delegation upon the question of naval ratios.
 MT. Hughes is understood to have call ed the attention of M. Briand to the en- tirely unexpected nature of the French proposal and to it's failure to harmonize with the basic principles upon which the limitation of naval armaments plan was drawn.
 This was the outstanding development today in connection with the conference and was accepted in most quarters as considerably postponing what had been predicted would be an early adjournment of the Washington meeting.
 With agreement definitely reached on the American-British-Ja Japanese ratios and with the Shantung "conversations" nov ing steadily toward an amicable under standing between the Chinese and Jap- anose negotiators, most delegations had prepared to arrange the remaining af- fairs of the conference in which they were interested so that subordinate com | missions might be left to handle them. The impression gained among other delegations was that if France insisted on the 5-5-3 ratio comprised in the pro- | posal put forward Thursday she would | find solid opposition confronting the i suggestion Neither from a standpoint l of national security nor from that ot l present status" on which the whole scheme of limitation is built. it was de- | clared, could the French delegation de. fend the claim to such a standing in the worlds delimited naval concert. China's request for abrogation of the | 1915 treaties resulting from the twenty.
 one demands form the most formidable
 stumbling block in the way of a Fal l Eastern accord, but in many quarters f is believed that the point never will b,
 stubbornly pressed. Japan alEeady ha.
 objec Al to discussion of the treaties b,
 the conference and it is recognized gen,
 erally that no nation can be compelled tC
 talk about question it considers out l side the scope of the conference In ad | dition. there have been hints of stront
 support from other powers for the Japan ese contention that the conference should
 not attempt to go into closed incl | dents"
 Neither is 1t considered likely tha l there will be any attempt to discuss th, problems of Siberia in detail as has beer
 done in the case of China. The Japanes are said to be preparing a general decla
 ration of policy for future protection O
 the territorial integrity of Siberia. an, some of the delegates believe the confer
 ence can well accent such deciara t'o,
 as covering the situation. Others wan
 to see a joint declaration of the sam kind by all the powers, but of a charac
 ter so broad as not to require prolonge,
 negotiations.

MAY MEAN DESTRUCTION
 OF RAILROAD LABOR BOARD

Chicago. Dec. 1s.-Regarding contract cases before the United States Labor Board, Frank P. Walsh, counsel for the shop crafts organization in a statement tonight said that if the railroads are successful in their contention. it will mean the destruction of the railroad la bor board.
 MT. Walsh characterized the cases re- garding contract work as the most i'm portant to the employees. the integrity of the labord and the public, that have ever been submitted for decision.
 The railroads are in a nationwide conspiracy to avoid the privisions Of the Transportation act so far as it safe guards the rights of the railway employ es and the public, by pretending that they are contracting and leasing out to sub b-contractors and pa5rones the most important functions in the operation of the railroads" Mir. Walsh said. The employees claim that the alleged private contracts are crooked devices to dodge the clear provisions of the transporta- tion act.
 The so-called private contractors are pretending not only to actually main tain the rights of way of the railroads. but independent railroad control, to have charge of the repairs and maintenance of equipment of railroads. including the safety devices upon which the lives and limbs of the travelling public must de- pend for safety.
 Tn order to avoid the provisions of the transportation act favorable 10 their employees and the public. the railroads boldly assert that they have surrendered great part of the duties and functions ! imposed upon them by their charters. They claim that they have turned these duties over to the myriad Of private con- tractors. individuals and corporations the majority perhaps beng without hn- ancial responsibility, and many Of them shown to have had no previous railroad | experience.
 ''The railroad companies have sue l ceeded in covering their tracks In many parts of the country. but this hearing
 should rin the lid off the entire con spiracv. Unless the law reaches In with A strong hand, the general public will be left open to exploitation in a manner un- paralieled In the worst days of railroad
 abuse and grfat.
 "The railroads are attempting. under
 the scheme. device of private contracts to farm out to alleged private contractors the work hitherto performed by approx inatev one million Of the railway eu- ploves of the country in their shops and maintenance of way departments II thav succeed in this adventure it will
 mean the absolute destruction of the
 railroad labor board and expose the al ready overburdened public to the un. checked rapacity of the railroads anc their confederates in the advancing army of pricate contractors"
