PENN NC0.CUTS

 NEARS CLIMAX
(Bv United Press,


 Chicago, March 23.-The bitter struggle between officers of the Penn sylvania Railway Company and it's employees, which has been before the federal railway labor board for three days, came to an abrupt climax today when Samuel Req, president of the system, announced that wages paid all employees must and will be slashed. Mr Req made his announcement while Brig. Gen. W. W. Atterbury, vice president of the road, was appearing before the board to argue abrogation of the national agreement.
 MT. Rea's announcement was con. ciliatory in tone, but expressed the determination of the company to cut wages. No percentage of decrease is named. However, his announcement stated that 70 cents out of every dol lar taken in by the road is paid out as wages, leaving a deficit when other expenses must be met. This state ment is taken to indicate a sweeping reduction in the pay of employees.
 iiS idllNe'y blbtlitIiIOOQS dCCtplcN the announcement with grave con. cern as it is probable the example of the Pennsylvania will be followed by other railway system of the country
 General Atterbury was subjected to bitter examination before the rail- way board, the unions bringing out the point that the Pennsylvania main tained spy system on its employees before the war. Under questioning by Frank F. Walsh, attorney for the unions, General Atterbury admitted that S800,000 was spent in 1914 on the roads police system, which in, cluded the pay of watchmen at cross ings and similar employees. He denied knowledge of the spy system or how much was spent for its maintenance

 The mayor announced that on ac- count of decreased cost of labor it would be necessary to collect only $6 from those liable to street duty this year. Last year s8 was collected
 City Attorney George F. Hartje rendered opinion to the council that the city was not liable to Eugene Martin for damages to an automobile caused by driving into an excavation in street paving.
 The council adopted a resolution or dering all streets and alleys of the city opened at once. It was stated that in some instances alleys and short streets are enclosed and used for private purposes and that barns and outbuildings extend beyond the property lines into alleys and streets in some cases.

60-PO|NT GAIN REGISTERED IN
 COTTON PRICE

Closing strong at the top prices for the day, the New York and New Orleans cotton markets registered net gains of about 50 points today, the largest net advances recorded in a single day since early in January. Including the smaller gains recorded Monday and Tuesday, the advance so far this week lacks but three or four points of being a cent a pound or $5 bale.
 May New York contracts closed this afternoon at 12.63 cents, 59 points net higher, and July crossed the 13- cent mark, closing at 1907 cents, 57 points up. May and July each gained 62 points in New Orleans, closing at 1920 cents and 12.58 cents, respect ively. Spots in New York were ad- vanced 60 points to 12.55 cents for middling. New Orleans spots broke away from the 11-cent mark at last and were quoted at 1150 cents, half cent higher
 On the local market receipts con- tinue small. About a dozen bales brought here today by wagon from Shirley, Ark, on account of no rail- road service at that point constituted almost all of today's receipts. With middling cotton selling at about 8 1-2 cents and strict middling about cent higher, prices for lower grades grad uate nearly down to zero. One bale classed as ordinary was sold here during the past week for IA cents pound, or SIG in money for good big bale. Bales at 5 to cents are more common than those above g cents.
 The price of cottonseed here re- mains unchanged at S15 per ton.

COUNCIL ADJ0URNS WITHOUT ELECTION OF A CHIEF OF POLICE Two Hour Executive Session is Held l Following Discovery Office Must
 be Filled.

Concluding a two-hour executive session at II o'clock last night, the Conway city council adjourned with out electing a chief of police for the city. Although no minutes were kept of the executive session, it was learned today that J. R. Piercy, former city marshall whose office was abolished by the legislative act creating the po- sition of chief of police, and J. R. Paul, city sanitary officer, were the only two candidates considered by the coun- Gil. No ballot was taken.
 The matter of electing a police chief was precipitated by the discovery that the special act of the legislature made it mandatory upon the council to ere ate the office, whereas Mayor W. D. Cole and others were under the i'm. pression that the matter was optional with the council and he had recon. mended that no one be elected. The language of the act, however, says that the city council "is authorized empowered and directed to create and establish police department for said city, to be composed of a chief of po- lice and such assistant or assistants as said council may deem proper" etc. The occurrence of the word "di- rected' in the sentence quoted above 1t was held, makes it necessary that some one be elected to the position.
 When Mayor Cole announced this fact to the council it was agreed to go into executive session to consider an appointment. Former Marshal Plercey presented a petition said to contain more than 800 names. asking that he be appointed, and he was put in nomination on a motion fixing the salary at $50 per month. Mayor Cole, it is understood, recommended the appointment of Mir Paul, at no additional salary, the position to be merely nominal. After a two-hour session, motion to adjourn was de- feated, and Aldermen W. H. Gist, A M. Ledbetter and c. w. Jones left the council chamber. The four re. AiitAiAiAlS NOOh lO iAtlOll, OQC ed shortly thereafter, it was learned today
 Considerable business, including the passage of two anti-liquor ordinances and the defeat of an anti-chicken or dinance, was transacted at the regular session of the council Both of the liquor ordinances are copies of new state laws on the same subject, it was stated. One prohibits the procuring of liquor for another, with a penalty of S100 to $500 fine. The other pro- hibits the transportation or possession of liquor within the city, the penalty being a fine of S10O to s1,O00 and jail sentence of 30 to 90 days.
 A proposed ordinance prohibiting the running at large of chickens in the city limits was tabled on motion

GERMANS FAIL
 T0PAY;,FRENCH MUCH AROUSED
tBy United Press)

Paris, March 23.-French officials today admitted the possibility that al- lied troops would push further into Germany and occupy other industrial districts, with confiscation of property as another outcome of the tangle into which the separations question was thrown by the receipt of another tenn porizing note from Berlin. Allied troops now hold the rich Ruhr district and the new complications may make 1t advisable for further advances by General DeGoutte's army.
 Today had been set by the allied separations commission as the day for payment of one billion gold marks by Germany as part of the War in- demnity account. Instead of paying the money, Germany sent a note sug- gesting that the entire discussion be re-opened and a new indemnity agreed upon.
 Publication of the note aroused French resentment toward Germany to high pitch. Confscation of Ger man property to make good the in- demnity was urged upon the commits sion from many quarters. The off, fcial government maintained silence while awaiting word from other al- lied powers.
