u. S. DELEGATE
MAY TAKE SEAT
AT ALLIED MEET
America Would Be

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The ArEus.)

Washington, May 6.-The United
States government probably will
accept the invitation Of the allies
10 send . representative to the
meetings Of the supreme council.
The inclination Is to have an un-
official observer present Who will
be able to act as q means of COM
munication directly between the
allies as a group and the United
States and at the same time in
form the Washington government
of exactly what occurs.
The invitation itself has not yet
been acted upon, but the tendency
is to regard 1t as a favorable op-
portunity for q closer contact with
European affairs. The Wilson ad-
ministration for q long time main
tanned an unofficial observer at all
such conferences and withdrew
representation on the ground that
the Harding administration should
be free to decide for itself whether
participation in allied councils
should be continued.
The advantages Of having an
American representative sit in the
allied councils appeal to folks here
because there are SO many ques.
tions arising on which the United
States government desires to be in.
formed and 1t is not always possi.

ASKS OPINIONS
ON MILLING OF
CANADA WHEAT
Flour Mar, Wants Ex-
port Grain Made in
America.

Minneapolis, May 6.-Wheat pro-
ducers. farm organizations, county
agents, University of Minnesota
authorities and business men
throughout the northwest have
been requested to give considera-
ton to a proposal for the milling
Of Canadian wheat in bond by
United States mills, by James Ford
Bell, vice president of local flour
milling company.
In q letter to Lotus d. Coffman,
president Of the University of Min
nesota, made public today, Mr..
Bell asks that the proposal be call
ed to the attention Of as many as
possible, through the medium of
county agents, in order that a con-
sensus Of opinion may be gained
before the permanent tariff meas
ure is placed before the national
house Of representatives the last
of this month.
Mr.. Bell says that the prices
paid to the producer for his wheat
and the price paid by the consum.
er for his -four will be determined
to a large extent by the treatment
Of Canadian wheat. The question
for both the producer and con.
sumer to consider, he said. will be

BECLOuDS
REAL ISSUE
Railroad capitalization Is
Declared Irrelevant to
Wage Cuts.

Chicago, May e.-Charges of a
financial combine" among New
York banks and the steel and rail-
road industries were declared ir-
revelant and immaterial to the wage
reduction case now before the rail-
road labor board today by E. H.
Senneff, general solicitor for the
Pennsylvania railroad, in replying
to the employees recital of alleged
mismanagement.
Dismissing the employees charges
as water over the dam," Mr.. Sen
nef made no answer to their con-
tentions that the financial combine"
had debated labor. He declared
that the employees had failed to
show any injury had resulted from
the transactions between the rail-
roads and corporations which had
interlocking directorates.
The employees are attempting to
create the impression that because
of these interlocking directorates
come great wrong is being done the
public and the railroads them
Selves" Mr.. Senneff said. This
claim cannot be supported. In fact
it has not been shown that any
transactions between the railroads
and corporations having interlock-
ing directorates have resulted In
any injury to the public or rail
roads. Such transactions are now
governed by the Clayton act, fur
thermore, so all these charges are
water over the dam.
MANY of these carriers have
been charged with improper f1nan-
cial transactions, though long prior
to the passage Of the transportation
act. Such transactions have been
| in most cases carefully scrutinized
and then approved by the public
service commissions Of several
states. Even il, there had been i'm
proper financial transactions as
claimed, repetition Of such f1nan-
cial transactions now would be i'm
possible. because the interstate
commission regulates such matters
Beclouds Issue.
"At all events, railroad capitaliZa.
ton has no effect whatever on rail
road wages or rates. II any tran
sactions have proved unjustifiable
the bad results have been borne by
the investors and not by the en-
| ployes or public. Wages have beer
determined, and will hereafter be
determined, irrespective of any
railroads capitalization. The at
tempt to introduce these transac'
tions in past years only conduces
to confusion and beolouds the whole
issue respecting just and reasonable
wages"
Mr.. Senneff declared that the
right of the railroads to apply sur
plus earnings to property improve
mentS and subsequently capitalize
them was a method universally
approved" and had been largely re
sponsible for the efficient trans
portation system this country nov
enjoys" He added that the valua
tions Of the interstate commerce
commission "even now prove tina
the value of the railroads asset
FAR exceeds capitalization"
These replies we're made In an
swer to employees charges tha
earnings turned back into the prop
erty should have gone to the EN-
ployes in increased wages or to tn
public in lower rates.
