i. S. to Act
With Allied
Sanction Only
Continued from page ono,

ures of force which France may
undertake to force the Germans ia
begin paying, this government has
now done all that it proposes to do
with view to avoiding that alterna-
tive. The next move Is distinctly up
to the Germans. This was made clear
in the first Hughes memorandum, and
was intimated just as strongly in the
one sent yesterday. But in the first
memorandum the Germans thought
they saw. not only ray Of hope but
q chance to embarrass the Allies
tremendously by developing that ray
Present Demands Excessive
There is still bright ray of hope
in the two memoranda for the Ger
mans, for there is distinct intimation
that this government believes the
amount of reparations ought to be
fixed at a considerably lower sum than
that which the Germans have repudi-
ated. This intimation was stronger in
the first memorandum, where the words
"just" and "to permit Germany hope
fully to renew it's productive activi-
ties" were used with respect to the
amount of the reparations. The init
nation still remains in the second note,
though it is much milder, and possibly
might not be susceptible of being read
into the note at all were it not con-
sidered together with the first memo
ranoum, and the German text propos-
inG that President Harding should act
as umpire.
While there has been no intimntion
mans that representatives of this coun-
try would sit in at meetings of the
Preparations Commission and would
have representative whose vote might
be heard at further negotiations on
the question of reparations should
Germany make a proposal sufficiently
attractive to the Allies to gain their
consent to such discussions, it is be-
lieved America will be represented.
There is little doubt, also, that the
information to this effect has been
transmitted to DR.. Simons.
Germany Welcomes u. s. Enjoys
While the presence of an American
representative at such negotiations
would be nothing like as satisfactory
to the Germans as to have President
step in. the direction of what they
want, and doubtless had it's effect in
driving DR.. Simons to take the strong
stand he did to-day before the Reichs-
tag
Diplomats here are commenting on
what they regard as a very curious
phase of the negotiations. Technically
the United States and Germany are al
war, while peace has been declared be.
tween the Allies and Germany. Yet
Germany is virtually sending its pro.
posals, and probably is to send more
through this government instead OF
either direct to Great Britain anc
France, with whom she is at technica
peace, or through some friendly coun
try that was neutral all through the
war, such as Holland or Switzerland
One high authority said to-day tha
there were precedents which he
thought would cover the case.
"However, we are dealing with con
titions, and very practical conditions,
this authority concluded, indicating
that the absence of precedents woule
cause no worry.

Lauck Blanes Rail
Muss on Steel and
Coal Profteerine
Asserts Roads Paid Out 275
Millions Year From 10
tO'l9Because of Excessive
Prices; SaysDeclineIsDue

CHICAGO, April 22.-War-time and
postwar profiteering, chiefly in coal
and steel products, was held responsi-
Bile for a large part Of the financial
difficulties of American railroads in an
exhibit filed by the railway unions be-
fore the Railroad Labor Board today
by W. Jett Lauck, economist for the
unions.
"Conservative estimate" he said, "of
what this profiteering cost the railroads
from 1915 to 1919 is $75,000,00O a year
in coal bills and 5000, 900 for steel
and iron products, including equipment
and repairs from locomotive and car
| companies.
"The railroads expended for coal and
other materials and supplies in 1920
about $4,000, 100000 According to fig
ures published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, there was, up to February,
age wholesale prices Of all commodi-
ties, although the decrease in the cost
of living in the same period was less
than 10 per cent If, as the railroads
claim, this recession is to continue, it
will be only a comparatively short time
before an average decline of SO per
cent will be recorded. 1t is plain that
the same amount of materials pur-
chased in 1920 would cost $1,000, 100000
less and railroad operating expenses
would be reduced by this amount"
Earnings of seventeen coal companies
set forth in the exhibit showed that
from an average percentage earning
of 7.9 in 1912 the percentage rose to
27.2 in 1917, declining to 17.2 in 1918.
During the pre-war years, 1912
1914" he said, eighteen steel COM
panies had an average net income of
$74,650,000. For the war years, 1916
|porations averaged approximately $337,-
100000, or almost exactly four and one
half times the prcwar average. These
excess wartime profits of at least
$750,000,000 represent a burden of
about $40 upon every American family.
"The war profits of. the seven rail
road equipment concerns shown in
financial manuals we're nearly two and
one-half times as large as in pre-war
years"

Germany Put No Hope
In appeal to Harding
Berlin Press Assails Govern
ment for Putting Nation at
Mercy OF One Of Her Enemies

BERLIN. April % (By The Asso-
ciated Press The trend of the COM
ment in this mornings Berlin news
papers on Germany's appeal to Presi-
dent Harding for mediation in the rep
arations question, written in the alb,
sence of knowledge of what the Amer
lean reply would be, was skeptical of
any good coming from the German
move, the notes most frequently struck
being expressive of resignation and de-
had prompted Germany's action.
The Nationalist press recalls the ar
peal made by Germany to President
Wilson in 1918, just before the close of
the war, and asks why Germany is
placing herself helpless in the hands
of an ally of her enemies.
The Liberal newspapers, indicating
no expectation Of anything advantageous
from the German pote, declare, how.
demonstration of Germany's good faith
in Americas conception of fair play.
The Pan-Gcrman Notwithstanding
captions its comment, "Gernfany's Ca
pitulation to Washington" The Tage-
blatt hopes that "the sober thinking
men in the House and the Senate will
bring their moral influence to bear
toward tne RESTORATION OIL the WOIlu
peace" The Lokal-Anzeiger's comment
is: 1--WE are throwing ourselves help
less into the hands of man whose
message showed how far he was re
moved from German ideas and senti
ments. Our imperial government
however, still seems to have reason fol
considering him at least capable of de
string to be impartial"
The Tageszeitung expresses fear!
over the situation, in view of Mr. Har
ding's mostl recent utterances, and re-
calls President Wilson'S intervention
which, it says, was the final undoing o.
Germany's might, while the Vossische
Zeitung, along the same line, expresses
hope that the German government will
have more success in appealing to Pres
ident Harding than it did in its appea
to Mr.. Wilson. d.
In the body of it's comment, the
Deutsches- Zeitung says the German
note was an act of desperation. The
newspaper declares it considers it in
comprehensive that the German gov
ernment should transfer such high re
sponsibility "to foreigner about whom
nothing further is known than that tt
him Germany and the German people
are unknown and negligible"
The announcement of the American
refusal to mediate was received toe
late for the morning newspapers tt
comment upon it.

LONDON, April 22-Negotations
for the settlement Of the coal miners
strike were resumed this afternoon
when the pit owners and the miners
got together at the BOARD of Trade to
discuss the new offers of tho national
wages board, which the owners have
advanced. Although nothing definite
had developed when the conferees ad-
journed until Monday, the situation is
brighter, in that the miners have at
last entered the negotiations. Premier
Lloyd George presided at the meeting,

Unanimous on Demands
When the executives of the miners
federation this morning met the dele
gates from the. local unions all over
the country, after week of confer
ences, they voted unanimously to stand
by their original demand for national
pool OF wages and national wages
board. They protested against the
action of their partners in the Triple
Aliiance--the railway men and tians-
port workers-in abandoning the svm-

Apparently the rank and file of the
miners are in favor of bitter end

been idle three weeks.
The coal shortage has become more
acute. Train schedules have been cut
to about 30 to rs per cent of normal.
FACTORIES are closing down on every
hand and unemployment is increasing.
IN Sheffield there are 10000 idle, in
Glasgow $4,000. In Birmingham only
three blast furnaces are running. The
Hull fishing fleets are tied up for lack
Of coal.
Long Lines Wait for Coal
Coal rationing orders are in effect
throughout the country and long
queues OF men and women in every city
wait daily for the parcel of fuel that
IS handed out to them. At Chislehurst.
IN Kent, where the supply of coal has
been exhausted, the Town Council has
given the inhabitants permission to
gather wood in the nearby forests. Peat
and wood paving blocks also arc be-
ing used for fuel in many cities where
the cold weather continues.
Shipments of American, French and
German coal are on the way here. but
the transport workers are disinclined
to .nnload. it. In Glasgow to-day the
dock workers refused to unload Ave
vessels carrying 10000 tons of Welsh
coal for the railroads.
Inc pumpmen at eighty mines have

/. W. w. Suspected
OF Hiding Haywood
In U. S. for Coup
u. S. Agents Think Report of
Big Bill's' Flight May Be
Hoax and Part of Plan
for May Day Outbreak

CHICAGO, April 22-Federal Of
ficials to-day announced they we're re-
questing exhaustive Investigations of
headquarters of radicals in various
cities throughout the country in the
belief that big Bill" Haywood, /. W. w
chief, reported yesterday to have fled
to Russia, was being concealed in this
country in connection with alleged
plans for May Day demonstration.
Charles F. Clyne, United States Dis
trict Attorney, said that his departme 1T
"was somewhat at sea" concerning
Haywood's whereabouts, but that it
"did not intend to take any chances"
Other officials said reports had come
to them that Haywood actually had not
fed from this country, but was hiding
here, and that they also had private in
formation that a huge May Day pro-
gram was being planned.
Previously Mr.. Clyne had declared
that unless Haywood surrendered by
Monday his bonds of $4,000 would be
forfeited and he would be officially
declared a fugitive from justice.
Mr.. Clyne said he was asking Fed
eral officials in various cities to con-
duct an investigation into the mead
quarters of various alleged radical
organizations to determine if the in
formation concerning May Day was
correct.
Local I. W. w. leaders continued
firm in their belief that Haywood
actually was in Russia and declared
that his flight "had ruined him with
the labor world" They declared that
some time ago Haywood had exhibited
letter from Russian revolution lead
ers telling him that American labor
was too apathetic" and that he Should
come to Russia, where he would be
welcomed"

tion for full pardons for four

Keely To Be Tried by Reds

RIGA, April %. Royal c. Keely,
American efficiency engineer who
went to Russia in, 1919, at the per-
sonal request of Lenine to study in
dustrial problems, and who was ar
rested last spring as he was leaving
the country, is to be tried before the
high revolutionary tribunal in Mos
COW.
No charge was placed against Keely
when he was arrested. The London
Morning Posts Reval CORE spondent
said he was detained because the
Moscow government is Unwilling to
let any one with as complete informa-
ton about Russia as Keely has, get
out Of its control. Nicholas Isnard
chairman of the All-Russan Central
Council of Trade and Industry, said
Keely had incurred the displeasure of
the Bolsheviki because he "told the
truth, plain and unvarnished."
