WASHINGTON, May 27.-The ground-
work of the proposed reorganization
Of government departments was gone

Each Cabinet member expressed him
self as in favor of the reorganization
Plans of procedure are too indefinite
yet to be made public, the officials be-
ing interested mostly in trying to ar
rive at the underlying features on
which to base the readjustment.
There will be no specific legislation
required. The Administration IS oct
lining the general policy on which the
committee will proceed. 1t was cor
ceded that in some cases reorganizs-
tion will result in the cutting down
of clerical forces, but that win be only
an incident in the general program.
The dismissal of employees has not
been touched upon as vet.

Basis Is Lacking
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

MED the petition of attorneys fol
Thomas j. Mooney for writ of audita
vide for new trial for the defendant
and sustained the demurrer to the pe.
titlon entered by the Office of the Dis
trict Attorney.
This means that the attempt to OBJ.
tam a reopening of the case against

his only hope for freedom is throuph
pardon from Governor Stephens
which, it is reported, will be denied.
In commenting upon the case from
the bench the court said he believed
the defendant should have a new trial
on the new evidence claimed to have
Deen discovered, but that under the law
the courts hands were tied. as there
was no legal basis for granting the

Inspires Hope
OF Mime Peace
Men Expected 10 Drop Fight
for National Wage Pool
as Result of Conference
Will, Owners and Premier
Gradual Cut in Pay Urged
Government Money With
held Until Permanent SET
tlement Is Agreed Upon
From The Tribunc's Epropcan Brreop

Copyright 1921, New York Tribune Inc
LONDON, May 81. Premier Lloyd
George met the coal miners and the pit
in renewed attempt to. settle their
controversy. He explained that the
eight weeks tie-np of the coal mines
had crippled industry and commerce.
He emphasized the governments desire
to find settlement, which however, he
insisted. must be permanent, and not a
makeshift arrangement.
The spirit Of the conference was
more conciliatory than other similar
sessions have been. II still represented
outside interference in the controversy,
however, for the miners and owrers
have not yet attempted direct negotia-
tions.
The Premier suggested that the
miners accept an arrangement under
which the proposed cuts in their wages
would go into effect gradually instead
of suddenly. The deficiency in revenue
during the reduction period, he argued,
could be met out OF the subsidy, of
G10,0o0,o0o offered by the government
several weeks ago, This would be
augmented, the Premier said, by the
action of the pit owners in foregoing
all profits in their industry during the
reduction period or for an indefinite
time. But, he insisted, the basis of
settlement decided on must be per-
manent.
No Subsidy White Fight Lasts
"The government will not put sin
gle Treasury note on the table until we
know that the terms of permanent
settlement have been agreed upon, ="
said Lloyd George.
The miners went into to-day's con-
ference, they said, without preiudicing
their attitude. but in authoritative cir
cles the belief is spreading that they
will not press their demand for ma
tional pool of wages-the issue upon
which previous efforts at compromise
have been wrecked. The leaders prob
ably will submit to the vote of the rank
and file of their union any settlement
scheme that they think at all accept
able. The miners were silent after the
conference as to the trend of les dis
cussions.
The owners, i'll a manifesto. asserted
that increased production vi ccal was
the paramount need.
IF grandiose schemes and stunts had
been left alone and the discussion con-
fined to the question of wages, at least
seven weeks could have been saved"
the document said.
Conferences now revolve about two
points, the rapidity with which wage
cuts shall be put into effect and the
amount of profits the owners are will
ing to forego to contribute to the ease
of transition. Even if an agreement
could be reacired promptly on these
two points resumption of work in the
mines could not be effected inside OF
two weeks: 't2 49,

Compromise Proposed by ltaly
PARIS, May 27 (By The Associated
Press) "A note has been received from
the italian government, it is announced,
proposing a compromise between the
French and British viewpoints on the
Silesian question. Only the general
tendency of the note is known, out it is
thought in French official circles that
it may furnish the basis for negotia-
tions.
Meantime the French and British
governments have before them he pro-
posal of the British and Italian Sile-
sian Commissioners, which provides for
turning over to the Germans and
Poles for administration the parts of
!. Upper Silesia which give them pro-
nounced majorities, leaving the re-
mander under the control of the COM
mission.
The object of this, it is understood,
is to reduce the territory pol;ced by
the Allies so that the number o. troops
the Allies can provide will be sufficient
to maintain order. The French are opr
posed to it, however, because the troops
would be isolated
If the plan is carried out Germany
will be given Kreuzburg, Leobschutz,
Neustadt and Naufan, while Poland
will get Pless and Rybnik.
LONDON, May 27 (By The Associated
Press. although the Allied political
situation with reference to Upper
Silesia was less acute to-day, the re-
establishment of order in the disturbed
area was far from being accomplished,
despite the partial arrival of British
troops from the Rhine. Advices re-
ceived in official circles here report an
attack by Polish insurgents Wednes-
day in the neighborhood of Grosstein,
in which there were 100 Polish and
German casualties. The Germans cap
turcd fourteen machine guns. The Poles
employed an armored train.
The Poles also are said to have blown
up the Rosenberg railway station and
a number of other buildings, forcing
the Allied personnel to withdraw to

The sending of Under Secretary of the
Interior Freund to the Upper Silesian
frontier Thursday by the German gov
ernment, with power to take whatever
drastic steps may be necessary to pre-
vent members of the free corps from
crossing the border, was the result of
joint representations made to Rosen,
the German Foreign Minister, by the
French and British Ambassadors in
Berlin yesterday in response to the
desire of France that such concerted
action be taken.

Dutch Chamber Refuses
To Withdraw Oil Bill
Attempt TO Get Explanation
Concerning U. S Protest
Also Defeafed

THE HAGUE, May 27.-The motion
of the Socialist Deputy Albarda con-
cerning the American governments
note to Holland with regard to the
Djambi Oil concessions and why the
note had not been made public in the
Chamber, was rejected to-day by vote
of Sc to 127. Debate on the motion
was begun yesterday, when Deputy
Albarda also asked that the Foreign
Minister explain the attitude of the
Dutch government.
Two other motions censuring the
government, introduced by the Com
munist and Liberal sections, also were
rejected.
The defeat of the Socialist Commun-
ist attempt to effect withdrawal and
reintroduction of the Diambi bill,
which might have resulted in equal
participation irr the oil concessions by
the Standard Oil Company and the
Batavia Oil Company, was mainly due
TO the loyalty of the governments sup
porters.

sion yesterday completed it's investiga-
tion of charges that tho New York
Central Railroad was extravagsnt in

that the New York Central, with the

600 year through economy, and thus
would not be compelled to reduce the
pay of employees.
Richard B. Gregg, counsel for the
shop craft unions, declared that the
testimony failed to disprove the union 8
charges. He said it had been shown

the Senate adjourned over Memorial
Day, until Tuesday, without passing
the measure.
Would Delay Building
The Pomerene disarmament amend
ment was brought forward aft-r sew
cral other amendments had been under
discussion. Senator Pomerene spoke
IN favor of it and declared there was
substantial sentiment in Japan and
Great Britain for disarmament or re
duCtion Of armament. He EXPLAINED
that his amendment was intended to
supplement the Borah amendment
and TO authorize the President
in his discretion, to delay for
six months the building program in
order to enable him to arrange q
conference with Great Britain. and
Japan and such other powers as deemed
proper, with view to reduction Of
armaments. The resolution ,urthcr
provided that if the powers agreed on
plan of reduction the President was
further authorized to suspend N whole
or part the building program in order
to enable him to carry out any agree
ment thus made.
"lf there is a subject in which the
people of this country are more in
terested than another" said Senator
Pomerene, "it is. in economy in CON
nocton with this naval program"
Senator King insisted Great Britain
and Japan were suspending building in
large part. Senator Poindexter denied
this was true of Japan. He said that
Japan believed that by 1928 she would
have the most powerful navy in the
world
Several Senators Joined in the dis
cussion and Senator Poindexter de-
clared he did not believe any such
authority should be given the Presi-
dent; that the pcger to stop construc-
tion rested and should rest with Con-
gress. He raised a point of order
against the amendment on the ground
that it was general legislation. The
Nice-President sustained the point of
order.
Senator Pomerene then moved to
amendment in order This was beaten
by 20 ayes to 81 nays.
Senator Williams of Mississippi
spoke at length in favor of disarma~
ment.
Walsh Seeks Conference
Senator Walsh of Montana then pre-
sented his amendment. 1t authorized
and requested the President to send
representatives to participate in the
Disarmament Commission under the
Council of the League Of Nations ain
a consultative capacity"
Senator Walsh spoke at length
against continuing the present burden
OF armament on the peoples of the
world.
Senator Lodge, after stating that the
people of this nation had rejected the
League of Nations, said:
'Glad as | would be to see a con-
ference under the amendment Of the
Senator from Idaho, which | hope will
soon be called, l am opposed to the
amendment of the Senator from Mon
tana. do not purpose to enter the
league by the side door or the back
way"
Senator Underwood spoke for the
amendment and Senator Mccormick
opposed it, Or rol call it was
beaten % to Az. It's supporters were
ali Democratic Senators. The Republi-
caas generally lined up against it and
also Senators Shields, of Tennessee; {;
Watson, of Georgia, and Walsh, Of
Massachusetts.
Senator Branoegee argued that en-
trance into the Supreme Council and
the Reparations Commission did not

The lobby correspondent of The Lon

tolled the heroism of motherhood.
The correspondent also mentions an
amusing incident. He says that when
