Russia Offers to Pay Pre-War
Debts If Given Recognition
Urges Immediate International Conference to Effect
Peace With Allies, but Takes No Action on
Eleven Billions i'm Loans Since 1914

RIGA, Oct. 20 (By The Associated
Press) THE Russian Bolshevik gov
ernment has decided to recognize the
pre-war foreign debts of the Czarist
regime, amounting to about 5000 &c.,
$50, if the Allied governments will
make peace and reopen diplomatic re-
lations, George Tchitcherin, Soviet For
eign Minister has advised the Allied
powers.
According to the official Bolshevik
news agency, Tchitcherin's note, dis
patched to Great Britain, the United
States, France, Italy and Japan, points
out that the Allies at the Brussels con-
ference agreed that recognition of Rus
sia hinged on acceptance by the Boil
sheviki of responsibility for the ma
tional debt. Although Russia has never
been advised officially of this decision,
the note says, famine drives her to
overlook "the intricacies Of diplomatic
etiquette" and she is therefore willing
to withdraw the decree of February
1918, by which all Russia's foreign debt

Police Inspector John F. Dwyer, who

the Police Department. He says he

purchaser last year. under strange cir

house at 403 West 115th Street, and as
a dabbler in Wall Street stocks to the

HAVRE, France, Oct. 29.-Aristide
BRAND, Premier of France, and the
other members of the French delegation
to the Washington Conference on
Limitation Of Armament, sailed for
New York on the steamship Lafayette
shortly after o'clock tonight.
For the first time in his life BRAND is
going far away from France, and when
he boarded the liner he had almost the
air of schoolboy who had just finished
long examination. For six days the
Premier can rest after his strenuous
campaign at home that aligned all
France behind him as her spokesman.
Then on November IL he will begin a
new battle, seeking to wiring from the
Allies at the conference table new
guarantees for France.
"Im going to Washington" said
BRAND, "to tell our allies that they
must realize that the hand they Of
fered us has not been withdrawn, and
France must grip this hand again with
more energy because it is the lnstru-
ment Of her security"
Eager to See New York
But BRAND spoke little Of what
France was hoping for. His mind was
on less weighty matters. He was con-
fiding to his friends who accompanied
him on his train from the ST. Nazaire
station in Paris this morning to this
port that he was looking forward to
seeing the tall buildings in New York
At Paris he shook hands with the
Cabinet members who had come to the
station to tell him goodby and waved
his hands at the crowd that jammed
the depot. After a four-hour trip he
was in Havre by 3:10 o'clock and had
plenty of time to attend to all details
of his departure.
One part of the Premier's baggage
excited no little curiosity in Paris
when it was loaded into an extra large
baggage car on his special train and
later when hoisted into the hold of the
Lafayette. Tier upon tier of mysterl-
tanly could not all have been filled
with documents and other equipment
needed by the delegation, finally were
found by baggage car employee to
contain bottles and bottles of French
wine, the first to be exported to the
United States since that country went
dry. The French wine growers, whose
business was badly injured by the Vol
stead act and the Eighteenth Amend
ment, might have wept for JOY at the
scene to-day And on the other hand
enforcement officials in New Jersey can
hereby take warning that when the
Lafayette pokes her nose into the docks
on the west side of North River on
November 4 she will have an important
cargo for them TO look out for.
Cellar Already Reserved
These uncamouffaged boxes in the
equipment of the delegation contain a
dozen bottles each of the finest of
vintages, delicious old Burgundes and
Bordeaux. If all goes as planned they
will be hauled from the Jersey docks
in automobile trucks, carried to Wash

strslction Barred; Smoke
Screen Tactics Revealed

Henry n. Curran, coalition candi-
date for Mayor, began last night to
tell his audiences some of the specific
things he would do if elected Mayor
dis speeches were constructive and
held a promise of infinitely better
things for the good of the city than
the city has had for the last four
years under the Hylan-Hearst regime.
Mr.. Curran turned to the discussion
o. improvements in city government,
to be put into effect after January /.

Hylan's seat at the City Hall, after
following, for a week past, the trail
Of Hylan "broken promises" He con-
fined the subject last night to the
housing situation, which, he charged,
Mayor Hylan had done nothing to
remedy.
"We need the schools that Hylan has
not not built said the coalition candidate.
I'VE need the parks and Fairgrounds he
has not provided. We need better
transit for a five-cant fare. And Hylan
has failed US nere again. But more
than these we need more homes. Hy-
Ian has done nothing to get them built.
| have, and, Furthermore, when | am
elected Mayor, l purpose to keep on
until there are houses enough to go
around"
Housing Board Planned
Mr.. Curran said that, as Mayor, he
proposed to appoint a housing commits
sion, to handle the situation, composed
of the best qualified, practical men and
women that he could get. He said he
would be more interested in the quail
fications of the personnel of the com
mittee than in the names of the men
and women on it. He proposed, he said,
that this housing commission should be
a decisive factor in helping to get more
homes and mot a smoke screen for me
to place between my responsibilities
and the people,
The candidate declared that the one
constructive step taken by Mayor Hy-
Ian toward remedying the housing sit
uation was his appointment of his Rent
Profteering Committee, (which was a
smoke-screen and nothing else.'' Where
the city had needed prompt and intelli-
gent action, Mr.. Curran said, it got "the
typical Hylan fourshes and rufflcs."
Mr.. Curran presented a program for
its work on five definite lines:
Increase the usefulness of the tax ex-
emption law.
Cooperate with the City Plan work on
the Board of Estimate, so that local pub
sovenents may be co1ordinated
with the most beneficial housing devel-
opment. $
Cooperate with the Board of Esti-
mate in planning new transit routes in

Study the best types of housing and
their adaptability to the various com
munities that make up our city.

To this end the note proposes the i'm

conference to solve this problem, "con-

claims against the other powers and

Court to Stop
Unionizing of
Mingo Min es
Judge Anderson, at Indian
apolis, Declares Organ
ization Is Trying to
Limit Coal Production
Cites Sherman Trust Act
Says Move at Williamson,
W. Va, Is Aimed to Mo-
nopolize Nations Markets

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 29.--Refusal to
cease efforts to unionize the William
son coal field of West Virginia, made
late to-day in Federal Court here by
President John L. Lewis Of the United
Mine Workers of America, was fol-
lowed by a statement from Judge A. B.
Anderson that on Monday he would is
sue an injunction to accomplish that
purpose.
No statement was made gy the Judge
as to the exact scope of the order, but
the decision to issue it came at the end
of hearing for temporary order on
the ground that the union and opera
tors in organized coal fields are en-
gagged in an unlawful conspiracy to
check interstate competition in the coal
market from the non-union West Vir-
ginia field, centering around Mingo
County, the storm center of a strike
for more than year.
Says 1t Breaks Trust Law
In a statement of his views on the
evidence presented, Judge Anderson
made plain his belief that a combina-
ton to restrain trade in violation Of
the Sherman antitrust act had been
established by the complainant, the
Borderland Coal Corporation. He also
the checkoF system by which opera
tors collect union dues by withholding
the money from miners wages. was
unlawful, and that the unions effort to
organize the West Virginia field was
an effort to monopolize the coal in
dustry of the country.
Judge Anderson's comments on the
evidence, made after both sides had
completed their case by affidavits; was
as follows:
81 think there has been established
here a combination in restraint of
trade, in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law, to limit the production
OF coal shipped in interstate commerce
from West Virginia, and therefore it
was a conspiracy to interfere with in
terstate commerce. l think, as this
evidence stands, that there is sufficient
ground here to find, and am compelled
to find, that the effort to unionize the
West Virginia mines is an effort to
monopoiize all the coal industry in the
United States. l think that unless
there is further evidence-mountain
high-to change it / some time will
have to enjoin, temporarily or other
wise, conspiracy to violate the Sher-
man act. | think that under the facts
and circumstances here that the check
off system is unlawful and used for an
unlawful purpose"
