That the Knox resolution formally
ending the state of war with Germany
and Austria Hungary will be adopted
by the United States senate seems as
sured, though the debate may be ex-
tended. The foreign relations commit
tee has made a favorable report on
the resolution. only Senators Pittman
Of Nevada, Pomerene Of Ohio and
Swanson OF Virginia. all Democrats,
voting in the negative. House leaders
have given assurance that the house
will follow the lead of the senate. Rep
fesentative Fish Of New York has in
troduced resolution for withdrawal
of American occupational forces from
Germany Immediately on approval of
the Knox resolution. 1t Is not at all
certain that the Fish measure will meet
with approval, the disposition being
rather to leave the question Of with
drawal to the administration.

The week closed with much brighter
prospects for settlement of the strike
Of British coal miners. Sir Robert
Horne, acting for the government, held
series of meetings with the miners
delegates and made new offers which
included the suggestion of wage re-
duction of 3 shillings per shift. The
miners are willing to accept a reduc-
ton of shillings, and it may be the
government will arrange a subsidy to
meet the difference. This would amount
to $500,000 monthly while the industry
is being recognized 1t was thought
the delegates would recommend that
the members of the union accept the
proposed plan. Meanwhile the miners
and owners have agreed to plans for
the protection of the mines, and the
railway mems union has modified its
order against handling coal so that it
does not apply to fuel for domestic
purposes, hospitals and public utili-
ties.

600 gold marks. The commission In its
communique said:
SIN fixing this amount the repara-
lions commission had effected the nee
essary deductions from the amount Of
damages i'm order to make allowance
for resolutions effected or to be effect
ed in execution of article 23S, and in
consequence no credit will be allowed
to Germany in respect 10 such restitu-
tons.
THE commission has not included In
the above amount the sum In respect
TO further obligations incumbent on
Germany In virtue of the third para
graph of article 232 to make reim-
bursement of all sums which Belgium
has borrowed from allies and assocl-
ated governments up to November IL,
1918, together with interest at the rate
Of per cent on such sums"
Premier BRAND was given full lib
erty Of action by the French chamber
Of deputies after he had declared: IF
on May l satisfactory proposals, with
acceptable guarantees, are not made by
the German government the Ruhr will
be occupied"
Prime Minister Lloyd George already
had assured the house Of commons that
if the German proposals were unsatis-
factory Great Britain would support
France in occupation of the Ruhr
Whether this occupation would be for
the enforcement Of the treaty of Yer
sailles or the Paris January agreement
was not made clear in either Paris or
London. The French have been insist
ing that Germany's violation of the
treaty would alone be sufficient to JUS
tify the seizure of more territory. No
body. outside of Germany, disputes this
but many are of the opinion that thus
to Gu further Germany's productive
power would only make it more diff
cult to extract the PREPARATIONS from
her.

Almost without opposition, the Nc
Cormick budget bill was passed by
the senate, and similar measure was
assured Of passage through the lower
house. The senate bill, substantially
the same as the one President Wilson
vetoed, creates a budget bureau to
prepare estimates of departmental ex-
pendltures and requires the President
to submit an annual budget based on
estimated receipts 1t also creates the
office of controller general for the

The railway workers of the United
States had their innings before the
railway labor board last week. b. NJ.
Jewell was their first witness in their
effort to retain the present wage
scales. He presented a mass Of evil
dence to support the unions two prin-
cipal points-that living costs have
outrun pay rates and that wages in
the only other basic industries com
parable to railroadng, coal mining
and steel making, have not been re-
duced.
His argument also was framed TO
show that the railroads have not OPP
Grated with economy and efficiency as
required by the transportation act,
and that the "same financial interests
which control the railroads also con-
troll the production of fuel, timber,
equipment, oil and other supplies and
that they have determined upon a
policy of decreasing railroad expenses
by reducing wages and at the same
time charging unwarranted and un-
reasonable prices for supplies which
the railroads must purchase"

In the Chicago district the dispute
between building contractors and the
Building Trades council reached a
crisis. The unions having refused to
accept a reduction in wages of skilled
men from S1.25 to 81 an hour, the
Building Construction Employers as
ISOLATION and the Associated Builders
issued formal lockout" order to 90
into effect on May /. AS a result,
work has stopped on about $10,0O0,OOO
worth Of building operations in that
district.
A committee OF the Illinois legisla-
ture has uncovered graft, fraud and
extortion in the building trades in
Chicago and vicinity and II Is expect
ed the grand Jury will indict many
labor leaders and others involved.
Every one who knows anything about
labor conditions there knew this
crookedness was being practiced, but
the trouble was to get the victims to
tell the truth. Some OF them, evil

done so.

Mr. Browns idea is that such scales,

the people of the borough would benefit
