rctary Hughes The president was
positive in committing the United
states to a policy. less OF armament

Secretary Hughes worked up to his
climax using words increasingly defi-
mite and emphatic. explaining the pro-
gram proposed by the u. s., namely;
The dlscontinuance Of all battle

The scrapping OF more than a mill
lion and a half tons OF naval vessels
OF which the u. :. would contribute
s4b, 900 tons. tho British 5S3.n00 tons
and the japanese $4,000 tons. The
United States Will lead In the number
OF tons scrapped although we do not
have the largest navy.

Express and Station Employees, over
the alleged improper action OF tho

, began operations May /. 1921, but
until July 1 had no agreement with

clerks organization July 1. In gen.
/ eral, the rates of pay were based on
the rates previously paid by the
American Railway Express Company,

der the American Company should be
continued. The Southeastern Com

ming of the company's operations in
May.
The second case involves the pro-
test Of the employees over the Scent
an-hour pay reduction authorized by

the frontier districts from taking ad-
vantage Of the low price of the mark
