Agreed Upon With Eight

poets of an immediate strike in the

conditions and adjustments not speci-
fically provided for in the written
agreement.
Pressure by the government was
understood TO have been largely re-.
sponsible for the attaining Of the
agreement. The controversy between
the packers and their employees was
the first major labor difficulty to face
the new administration and President
Harding referred the matter to Secre-
tary Davis who called in Secretaries
Hoover and Wallace to assist him.
Statements issued by the partiei-
patinga parties after the signing of
the agreement showed some diverg-
ence Of opinion as to the real mean
ing OF the settlement. Secretary Davis
said sit has prevented a strike of
very serious consequences" The en-
ployes' delegates, Dennis Lane and
Redmond $. Brennan, declared the
agreement is a truce to prepare for
war" The packers representatives,
James q. Condor and Carl Meyer de-
clared this will enable the packers

TO adjust between themselves and their
employees all matters of mutual inter-
est"

FIND NO RECORD
DEBT TO FRANCE
Despite Assertion That This
Country Owed S00,000,000
Francs.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 23.-Treascfy
officials again insisted today that
search of files revealed no unpaid
debts to France despite the assertion
in the French senate last night of
Senator Gaudin de ViIlaine that Louis
XVI in 1778, in the name of tho French
nation, and to save the young Amer
ican republic, had loaned America
500, 900, 900 fancs," which the senator
said had never been repaid The pos
sibility Of an unpaid debt to France
was brought up about a year ago,
one treasury official said, and to an
swer the question then propounded. a
careful scrutiny was made of treasury
records. The search showed, this Of
ficiaI added, that the United States
had repaid all the debts of which there
was a record.
Several treasury officials directed
to a history of the national
loans Of the United States written in
1882 by Rafael Bayley of the treasury.
This volume. now. ex
ceedingly rare, shows that France
made four loans aggregating $685. 500
to the American colonies for prosecu-
tion of the war of independence.
Various payments on these loans,
the history shows. were made in this
form of tobacco and otherwise in ad-
dition to cash. These payments left
one balance of s1,S4S,O00 which was
merged into the 512 per cent stock of
1875, final payment having been made
in 1915. The only other balance, the
icf
$176,000 when 1t was merged into the
Az per cent stock of 1895, and final
payment was made in 1908

~ the Associated Press.
AEL1LIA. Morocco. September &
tDeiayedl edl.-Moyements of the Mo-
roccan tribesmen around Melilia
which are being closely observed BY
tne spanish garrison here, indicate
that the Moofs are making elaborate
plans for hombardfng this important
SpAnish fortress.
The. rebels have mounted three field
runs on the Harduf mountain, and
trt6esinen have been seen pulling cannon
and limbers up the hillsides by ropes.
The Moroccans, according to native
Information. plan to lombard Melilla
IN an, endeayor to produce . panic.
and. thereafter. II the plan proves
dynamite and bombs. Native Inform
ants Indicate that the Moroccan lead
ers intended to deliver their attack on
Melilla last Friday. September 2, but,
owing to differences of opinion be-
tween the Rffaans and other tribes.
the contemplated assault was post
poned.
1t appears that the Rif tribssmen
consider themselves the true follow
ers OF Mahomet. and despise the other
tribesmen, because they have had
dealings with the Spaniards. The Riff
fans allege that the others even
have assisted the Spaniards at times
against them.
The Moroccan forces facing Melil-
10 are calculated to number approxi-
mately 5000 fighters. besides several
large unattached contingents of Riff
mans. including 5000 infantry and
900 cavalry in Nador and vicinity,
distributed over various commandine
positions facing the Spanish front
Thsfe are said to be 500 Spanfsh
And native deserters near Zeluan and
