Harding Camp Hears OF
Exchange of Bonds
With CONSERVATION.

ST AUGUSTINE, Fla, Feb. 2S'-
Something approaching consterna-
ton has been caused at Harding
headquarters by President Wilson's S
nronosal to accept s171!0oo,oo0 of
csrman bonds in payment of Bel
,,um.s debt to the United States.
II is the revelation that the pro-
nosal is in pursuance Of a pledge
given by NJ. Wilson at Paris which
excited as.onished comment exactly
ona week before the Presidents
nlan was made public at Washing
tom. Thomas w. Lamont was as
surfing Mr.. Harding in st. Angus
tine the incoming Federal admins
tration was as ''untrammeled as the
air" as far as existing pledges to
allied debtors are concerned.
Agreement Reached.
Now, according to such advices as
are available to the President-elect'
an agreement was come to at the
Peace Conference with Great Brit
ain and France which appears to
leave the United States Treasury
far from "untrammeled." The Bel
eian transaction on the contrary is
seen here as a complexity Of the
first magnitude. And an embar-
RAISING one.
What Is causing anxiety apart
from the Belgian millions, is wheth-
er other Agreements of the same
sort may not be reclining in some
undivulged pigeonhole of the State
Department, waiting to plague and
perplex the Harding administration.
Mr.. Lamont's statement, of course,
referred to reported projects for
cancellation of allied Indebtedness.
Means Long Loan. Q
The now disclosed deal for Ii
quidating the Belgian debt does not
contemplate cancellation, but with
Germany whining that she is fac

OFFICIALS OF ERIE
PLEAD NECESSITY
FOR CUT IN WAGES
Alleged Violation Board
Ruling Brings Strong
Defense.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Dire neees-
sity was the defense submitted to-
day by the Erie Railroad for an
alleged violation of decision OF
the United States Labor Board in
cutting the wages of its employees
without notice, on February 1.
oficials of the Erie were called
before the board on complaint OF
F. w. Mclaughlin, grand chairman
of the maintenance of way employees
of the Erie. 1t had reduced wages
27 per cent and had ordered its
men to work one day a week with
out pay, contrary to the labor
boards decree. The question was
also to be considered whether or
not the Erie had violated the de-
cision of the board.
Admits Wage Cut.
r. 6. Parsons, general manager
of the road, admitted the cut in
wages, that the rest day each week
of train despatchers had been elm
mated, and that the men were told
they must donate one day q week
free to the road to help it out of
Its difficulties.
Our business fell OF far below
our most pessimistic expectations"
Mr.. Parsons said. "For every dollar
we took in as earnings we spent
1901"
The legal arguments upon which
the Erie hopes to get a favorable
decision from the board are out
lined by a member of the legal staff
as follows:
Legal Arguments.
1--WE claim that the transportation
act does not state how long a de-
.cision of this board shall last. We
complied with wage decision No. 2
Of the board until conditions made
it impossible for us to do so any
longer. We have not violated the
decision of this board as we in
terpret the law.
we further claim that the work.
ing conditions which the men say
passed upon by the board. In fact,
the board is at this time consid-
ering what shall be fair and just
rules and working conditions. We
cannot violate rules and working
agreements that do not exist"
Members of the board indicate
that the board will throw this case
out, as it did those of the Atlanta.
Birmingham and Atlantic, and the
Missouri and North Arkansas Rail-
way companies, because there had
been no conference with the work.
ers before the wage decision Of
the board was changed.
Members Houk and Forester, of
the board, both said the railroad
had failed to meet the requirements
of the transportation act.
