LEAGUE WILL

RUSS PROBLEM
Council Refuses to Consider
Matter and Refers Norweg-
Ian Request for Inquiry to
Genoa Conference.
TO DISCUSS MANDATE
CBy Associated Press)

GENEVA, May 16.-The council of
the League of Nations refused today
to take up the Russian problem and
referred to the Genoa conference the
Norwegian governments request for
an immediate inquiry by the league
into the general situation in Russia
and the effect of the famine on eco
nomic reconstruction in Europe.
DR.. Fridjof Nansen, who presented
the Norwegian governments request
and who is the leagues high commits
sioner for Russian relief, fought hard
to prevent the question going to Gte-
noa. He said handing it to Genol
was equivalent to burying it.
Marquis Imperiali of Italy protested
this, saying he was confident the con
ferees at Genoa would give the ques.
ton fullest consideration.
DR.. Nansen, however, insisted that
the Genoa conference was about to
break up without, according to press
reports, having solved the Russian
problem.
To Discuss Mandate
Pressure from Zionists in all parts
of the world has led the council of the
League of Nations to reconsider its
decision not to take up the Palestine
mandate at its present session and the
question of placing it on the agenda
will be discussed tomorrow 1t is still
regarded as highly improbable, how.
ever that any action looking to con
firmation of the British mandate will
be taken at this session, because OF
the opposition from French and Ital
ian quarters.
The Zionist representatives here are
pressing for a decision and say a de
| lay of another three months will mean
! just that much time lost in establish
| ing the Jewish national home
The council met today to discuss

TO CHANGE PLANS
FOR STEEL MERCER
BULLETIN

=
NEW YORK, May 16-Moses Tay-
lor, chairman of the Lackawana Steel
company. and Eugene G. Grace, presi-
dent of the Bethlehem Steel corpora
tion, were summoned late today to ap-
pear before the Lockwood legislative
committee Thursday for examination
concerning the merger of the two con-
Germs ratified earlier in the day by
their boards of directors.
BULLETIN
NEW YORK, May 16.-The Bethle-
hem-Lackawanna steel merger was
ratified today by directors of both
companies.
NEW YORK, May 16-Government
intervention into the proposed steel
mergers has caused no outward change
in the plans of the interests involved
which have continued their plans for
their consolidation.
Directors of the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation and the Lackawanna Steel
company were called into separate ses-
sions to confirm the purchase of Lack
awanna by Bethlehem, which will be
| arranged by a stock transaction, de
| tails of which were to be arranged
| probably late today.
! Except for a brief statement by
| President Eugene G. Grace of Bethle
| hem when the merger was announced
| that it involved no violation of the
| Sherman or Clayton Acts, interested
/ persons have made no comment on
| the action of the federal trade com
mission in requesting information con
cerning the same before the deal was
completed
! The commissions action was taker
as result of resolution introduced
in the senate by Senator LaFollette
who charged that the combination was
| in restraint of trade and that, together
with the proposed merger of six inde
pendent steel companies was the re
suit of a secret understanding witt
the United States Steel corporation.
Denies Monopoly
Thomas L. Chadbourne, counsel fo,
the six independent companies. ha:
issued a statement denying that the
six company merger was intended tt
effect a monopoly or that 1t had an!
agreement with the United States
Steel corporation The only motive
|
| a desire to lower the costs of produc
ton thereby increasing competition.
Presidents and chairmen of the 81,
independent companies conferred to
day with representatives of Kuhn
Loeb & company, bankers, to worl
out a plan of financing the combina
ton. This will be accomplished b.
an exchange of cash and securities
and the reorganization of one of tn
largest companies or the formation o
a new one.
The companies involved are: Tn
! Brier Hill Steel company, Inland Stee
company, Steel and Tube Company Q
America, Youngstown Sheet and Tub
company. Republic Iron and Steel con-
pany, and the Midvale Steel and ORD
/ nance company.

car going west. Just as he caught up
with the car and turned to go around,
the car driven by the Chicago people
loomed ahead. 1t was impossible for
the Chicago car to turn aside because
of mail-post ahead, according to a
witness.

/ pany him, but the men said they did
not have time, and they left their

not only carry the two largest cities
by big majorities. but would receive
$4,000 margin in the remainder of the

LIONS Clubs
| HELPING PLAN
FOR AUTO TOUR
Members Hear Story of Stuart
Walkers Theatrical Venture
With Stock Company.

Members Of the Lions Club today were
cooperating with Edward o. Snethen,
president of the Federation Of Commun-
ity Civic Clubs, in donating automobiles
to be used next Tuesday, in an automo-
bile tour Of the eighth grade pupils Of the
public schools.
Stuart Walker, founder of the Stuart
Walker Company at the Murat, was the
guest of honor at the club yesterday. He
discussed his experiences in establishing
his company in the city.
Mr.. Walker said: six years ago,
when first came to Indianapolis. had
only $4,000 in the bank with which to
produce my plays, pay salaries, rents,
and meet the innumerable incidental ex>
penses which beset producers. No one
in the city knew me or my players, and
much more, no one seemed very willing
to brush up an acquaintance. However
meeting reverses of the worst sort for
several weeks, we were soon able to
meet out our expenses. That, with the
support given us in morale and in
finances, aided materially in giving US
a permanent position in Indianapolis.
ITO persons outside the theater Y IS
always ina gined that the hardest part
of an actors work is the learning Of his
part. This IS by far the easiest, espe-
cially in stock companies. In New York
theatrical work more than three weeks
alone are spent in discussing the effect
of play on the audience. and In thrash
ing out the innumerable minor points
which we have already cleared up months
before we begin work on a play Road
companies spend a long time in casting
we do too. but our characterizations are
also planned far In advance of our actual
work of rehearsing."
A new slate OF Lion Club candidates
was put In the field yesterday. 1t was
as follows: President, Albert Stump I;
