ANGLO-RUSSiAN TRADE
AGREEMENT is SIGNED
Each Nation Pledged Not to Under
take Propaganda-No Blockade
on Either Side.

London, March 1.-THE trade agree
ment under which commercial rela-
tons will be resumed by Great Brit
ain and Russia was signed here by
representatives Of the governments o.
the two countries.
The agreement is essentially the
same as the draft taken to Moscow by
Leonid Krassin. soviet minister of
trade and commerce, in January. the
most important terms of which are as
follows:
Each party agrees to refrain from
hostile action or propaganda outside
its borders against the others institu-
lions. The soviet government particu-
larry agrees to refrain from any en-
cOuragement Of Aslatic peoples t. ac-
ton against British interests. especial
~ In Asia Minor, Persia. Afghanistan
and India.
British subjects In Russia and Rus
slams in Great Britain will be permit
ted to return to their home If they so
desire.
Each agrees not to impose any form
OF blockade against the other or any
determinations against trade not i'm
posed on other foreign countries.
Ships In each others harbors shall
receive the treatment usually accord
ed to foreign merchant ships by COM
mercial nations.
The agreement provides for the
clearance of mines from the Baltic
and the approaches TO Russia and the
exchange of informal ton regarding
mines.
1t provides for the admission 10
both countries of persons appointed to
carry out the agreement, with the
right to restrict them to- specified
areas and the exclusion Of any who
are personae non gratae. and also free
communication and exemption from
taxation.
A renewal OF teIegraphic and postal
facilities. including parcel post, will
be arranged.
With regard to Russian gold export
ed from Russia as payment for i'm
ports, the British government does not
cOncede the soviet contention that
such gold should be regarded as i'm
mune from seizure to pay British
claims. The agreement leaves this to
be settled by ordinary court procedure.
In the agreement the soviet govern
ment is termed "the government OF
the Russian socialist federal soviet re-
public"

RAILROAD SITUATION IS
TO BE INVESTIGATED
Congress to Probe Charges OF Extrava-

Dishonesty.

Washington, March 16.-RepOrts of
extravaganza. inefficiency and dishOn-
esty In the management of the rail-
roads since their return to private
ownership last March. will be thor
oughly sifted In the senate investiga-
ton of the railroad situation which
will be begun shortly after the new
congress cOnvenes next month.
This announcement was made by
Senator CuRmins Of Iowa who will
Introduce the resolution to authorize
the inquiry. Senator Cummins lie
chairman of the interstate commerce
committee Of the senate which will
conduct the investigation and is CO
author of the Esch- Cummins trans
portation act under which the roads
were turned back to private control.
While the committee will look into
the railway labor situation and hear
the case of the brotherhood heads. 1t
will only be as a cOrOllary subject,
Senator Cummins said. The main
purpose of the investigation. he as
serted, will be to ascertain why In the
II months of private control the, raOds
have been able to earn only a net
operating income of $10,OOO,OOO which
represents about one-fifteenth per cent
of their property value. and $9OOOOO.-
coo less than they were expected to
earn under the transportation act.
I'VE propose to learn" Senator Cum
minis said. "wlly 1t Is that with the
increases in freight rates of 80 per
cent the railroads have been able to
earn only a negligible amount The
public is entitled to know how this
has come about and IL there Is any
truth in the reports that this condi-
ton Is due to mismanagement. dis
honesty and extravaganza"

HARD|NC'S PLAN
NOW UNDER TEST
Meat Packers Controversy Is
Taken to Washington.
5-H0UR CONFERENCE FAILS.
Another Meeting to Be Held, but the
Breach Between Employers and
Employees Remains as
Wide as Ever.

Washington, March ZZ.-Ine preach
between the big five Chicago packers
and their employees was just as wide
following a five-hour conference at
at the Department of Labor as 1t was
before the conferees came together.
Another meeting will be held.
With Secretary of Commerce Hoover
and Secretary of Agriculture WALLACE
sitting with Secretary Of Labor Davis
who called the conference in the hope
of settling the controversy, representa-
tives of the two factions battled
throughout the afternoon in executive
session
So unproductive Of results were the
negotiations, however, that the con-
ferees were unit in declining to
comment on what had happened
earlier in the day, Secretary Davis has
announced he would make statement
outlining the progress that has been
made, but declared he could make no
comment at this time"
Grave Difficulties Ahead.
From an authoritative source ii was
learned that there are grave difficult
ties In the way of an amicable settle
ment and in view of the 0verwhelm-
ing vote by which the packing house
workers decided to strike in case the
result of the conference is unsatis-
factory to labor, strike by the 2OO.-
600 employees. In the industry Is by
no means a remote possibility. Ofh-
Gals of the American Federation OF
Labor declared that the packers en-
plOyees chiefly represented by the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butchers Workers Of North America
will have the entire support of the
Federation in the event of walk
out.
Two matters at issue are causing
the principal difficulty. They are the
action of the packers in reducing
wages 1914 per cent and so changing
the working schedule to abolish over
time for ten-hour day, which the
employees contend destroys the prin-
ciple of the eight hour day.
1t is also understood that the en-
ployees representatives are urging
recognition of the union by the big
five, who are reported as adamant in
their refusal Members of the con-
ference admitted that it may be Sc
veral days before any definite results
can be obtained.
Harding Much Concerned.
The session ended with both sides
standing pat and waiting for further
developments. President Harding is
understood to be watching the con.
ference with much concern, as this IL
the first serious labor dispute with
which his administration has been
called upon to deal.
Members of the conference in addi
ton to secretaries Hoover, Wallace
and Davis who represent the govern.
ment, are: James G. Condor and Carl
Meyer, Chicago attorneys for the pack.
ers; Dennis Lane, secretary OF the
workers union and Redmond s. Bren'
nan, attorney for the union represent
ing the employees.
ANY comment will have to be made
by Secretary Davis. Mr.. Wallace and
myself are here only in an advisory
capacity" said Mr. Hoover following
the conference.
II have no comment to make. Our
position is the same" was all that Mr.
Lane would volunteer.
