We desire that the Thurston county
commissioners tell the people through
the columns Of the Standard how
much district Z has paid into these
two funds in the last 10 years, and
how much of same has been expend-
ed in this district. Also, what is
their reason for opposing the cutoff
other than the expense? Have they
ever tried to secure permission for a
temporary under-crossing, with 4
trestle supporting the tracks? Would
1t not be necessary to build a sup
porting structure of this kind before
putting in cement arch? What was
the best arrangement which could be
made with railway company in ref

has the crossing under trestle in sec

been in use? Why must the concrete
crossing at st. Clair be completed so
promptly, il it is to be built at all?
Why Is 1t necessary to build it on

$4,000 set aside for the relief OF
the Yelm road situation be expended
on the St. Clair cutoff, putting
$4,000 from road and bridge fund
into new construction and 5000
from district l in that district and the
$4,000 from district on this end?
Have they ever made a conscientious,
combined effort to give us the short

entitled to? We will have some
more questions when these are an

Our understanding is that the COM

that a majority Of the commissioners

Council Stops Work on Mat
tiers Affecting United
States
RECEIVE YAP PROTEST
Members Of Council Indicate They
Can DO Nothing Concerning
Approved Mandate
BY HENRY WOOD,

United Press STAFF Correspondent.
PARIS, Feb. 23.-The League of
Nations counci. today stopped work
on matters affecting the United
States, pending Inauguration of the
new president.
Receiving the American protest
against the awarding of the Mesto-
potamian mandate to Great Britain,
the council decided to await a de-
cision by the allied supreme council.
The allied council at London already
had indicated that it would take no
action on American affairs until
Harding becomes president.
Document Is Long.
Secretary of State CYolby's pro-
test against the zap and Mesopotam-
ian mandates were printed in differ
ent languages and left with the dele
gates today. Consisting Of eight
printed pages and including copies
OF correspondence with Great Brit
ain, 1t was too long a document to
be read by the secretaries.
Members Of the council indicated
they can do nothing regarding zap,
the mandate having been approved
last December without a protest
from the United States. The only
possibility Of changing it would be
discovery that the island is not
lone of the former German islands
north Of the equator"
II the description were faulty the
United States might yet be accom-
modated, they said.
Meanwhile the council has decided
on commission which will SUPER
wise all mandates.

Europe Is Marking Time for

PASS KNOX RESOLUTION
secretary OF State Hughes Will
Conduct Negotiations With
Allies and Germany
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER


United Press Staff Correspondent.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. Feb. 23.-
The program for bringing about
speedy peace between the United
States and Germany has been vir-
tually decided upon by President
elect Harding.
1t follows:
i. Passage by the senate and
house of the Knox resolution or a
similar measure, declaring peace.
2. Informal, exchanges between
the United States and the allies and
the United States and Germany 70
adjust financial matters and other
questions relating to peace.
3. Dispatch Of an American min
lister to Berlin and acceptance of a
German minister at Washington,
with re-establishment of the consular
service in both countries.
The negotiations will be conducted
by Secretary of State Hughes.
United Press dispatches from Lon
don today said that Europe was vir-
tually marking time waiting for the
Harding administration to 60 into
power before going ahead with set
Element of the reparations and other
questions. Any advance announce
ment Of what the Harding admins
tration intends to do for the guidance
of the allies would be improper at
this time so that it is expected here
practically nothing would be done
toward winding up the wars affairs
abroad until after Harding enters the
White House.

to do anything except strike. and
peacefully picket. The machinists

pick company, secured aid OF other
unions. The teamsters refused to
haul Duplex products and union
in cities removed from the
strike zone refused to set up and
repair machinery built by the Du-
pick company The supreme court
ruled that this was a secondary boy
colt and as such. forbidden by the
