BRITISH ATTITUDE
TOWARD FRANCE
WORRIES PREMIER
Lloyd George Willing to
Go Long Way to Avoid
Break.

LONDON. May 22.-Prime Minis-
ter Lloyd George spent the day rest
ing at Chequers He may come to
town tomorrow or he may wait until
Thursday. when he is due to make
statement to Parliament regaro-
ing the Genoa conference.
He feels that he has got as much
as could be expected from Genoa
and is satisfied that he has pro-
gressed sensibly on the road to Eu-
ropean peace. it is stated.
The lava in Europe is still hot. g"
according to one close to the pre-
mier, ''and the world is still full
OF hatred and will blaze up at the
slightest provocation. Russia es-
pecially is still smoking and re-
quires the most careful handling.
The premier believes that he has
taken the peace movement as far as
it is possible to take it at this mo-
ment. We have had a grand discus
sion, got to know each other. and
our affairs are now back in the
hands OF experts. whose duty it is
to find out facts and then frame a
plan for dealing with them. For in
stance. take private property in
Russia. How much still exists
What can we do with It?
Take the case of a particular
factory. Is IL still there? Can we
get it back and is It worth getting
back? What is the best plan for
dealing with ft?"
The same source states that the
premier is worried about the Fran
co-British relations, which he re-
CARDS as very delicate. He il will
ing to go a long way to avoid a
definite breach in the entente, but
he realizes that British public opin-
ion is fed up with the French at
titude and is not willing to temper
ize much longer. In his opinion,
the future French policy depends
much on the success of the French
in inducing the world to finance an
international loan to Germany to
pay French reparations.

Churchill Tells Commons
Agreement Raises "Se-
riOus Issue" .
OBJECTS TO PLAN
TO REFLECT DAIL
Government Action Waits
On Parley Between
Irish Leaders.

LONDON, May 22.-The British
government is seriously concerned
over the reported agreement be-
tween the Free State and the De
Valera forces as to the proposed
Irish election.
Whether the British government
will stand for the agreement. which
means the virtual reelection of the
present membership of the. Dali
Eireann, Is considered doubtful, in
view OF the comments of Winston
Churchill, minister of colonies.
The latest agreement between
Michael Collins. head of the provi-
sional Free State government. and
De Valera, irreconcilable leader.
raises very serious issues, Churchill
declared. speaking in commons to-
day. He was unwilling to comment
officially on behalf of the govern
ment. however, until after the con-
ference with Collins and Arthur
Grihith scheduled for the coming
weekend here.
Government Alarmed.
1t is no secret that the govern
ment is apprehensive over the re-
ported agreement which would vir-
tually re-elect the existing Dali
membership, including the De Va
lera obstructionists, who would re-
tain their present relative strength
of about seven against eight Free
Staters, when, as matter of fact,
they do not represent 20 per cent
of the electorate. 1t is the same
situation against which Collins and
Griffith, head of the Dali, had been
protesting for weeks.
Despite the official statement that
any party or person will be insured
fair participation in the Irish cleo
tions. 1t is clear to observers here
that the Collins-De Valera coalition
would in effect oyerawe all oppo-
sition. There Is also considerable
distrust over the provisionin the
agreement which specifies that
where no, election is held the pres
ent representative retains his seat.
See BID to Terrorism.
That looks like a plain invita-
tion to terrorism" one authority
declared. However. the govern
ment will not raise any obstacle
pending examination of the cleo
tion agreement. which Churchill
hopes to lay before commons next
Monday.
Horror and indignation have been
aroused here by the Sim Feiners'
merciless assassination of Free
State soldiers. Reports of most
brutal shootings are received here.
A former policeman was slain in
the presence of his wife at Tippe-
rary, and another former Free
State soldier was pulled from a car
at Ballinspital and killed. At New
Port a former soldier was shot dead.
while at Tyrone the former head
constable was assassinated while
moving his wife and family.

HARD COAL MINERS
REJECT PROPOSED
new WAGE SCALE
Operators Prepare to Sub
nit Entire New Set
Of Terms.
SAY SUPPLY AMPLE
Controversy Expected to
Drag Into FAN or
Winter.

NEW YORK. May 22.-Negotia-
tons between anthracite miners
and operators over new wage
scale will have to begin all over,
postponing once more hope of early
settlement OF the strike in the
anthracite regions.
The miners have decided to turn
down the operators proposals. max
ing It necessary for the mine own
ers to draw up an entirely new set
of terms.
The wage scale committee ex-
poets to present its reply to the
operators proposals Wednesday and
they. it is indicated.i will go over
the suggested terms point by point.
Oppose Ffve-Year Plan.
Special attention will be given
to argument against accepting the
operators proposal for a five-year
contract which would contain a
provision for a yearly review of
economic conditions in the industry
and annual readjustment of wages
to meet these changes. Such a
plan, the miners believe. would
make II possible for the operators
to juggle coal prices for the pur-
pose of reducing wages, lowering
the price so that the wage scale
could be cut down and then boost
ing II again later.
The proposed arbitration board
to fix wages when miners and
operators cannot agree WOULD
nullify tho principle Of collective
bargaining. ii Is argued. and it will
therefore be rejected by the union
officials.
The public need not worry IL the
coal strike-both in bituminous and
anthracite fields-lasts through the
summer. according to operators
here. who take an optimistic view
of the situation. Talk of a coal
famine unless operations are re-
sumed June l Is ridiculous, these
coal men say.
British Coal on way.
Operators generally look for a
settlement of the bituminous strike
about July 1, but the anthracite
situation is expected to drag on
until fall or early winter. A furry
of snow may be necessary to force
a settlement.

RAILROAD HEADS
CONFER WITHL.C.C.
ONRATE QUESTION
Encounter Difficulties in
Trying to Meet Wishes
Of President.

Demonstrating the earnestness OF
their promise to President Hard
ing to do all in their power TO
make possible railroad rate reduc-
tions that would contribute to r.
store prosperity. the railroad exec
utives of the country yesterday ap-
pointed a committee of seven to CO.
operate with the Interstate Com
merce Commission and to see what
can be done.
The committee conferred with
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion for more than two hours. ar
ranging for a second conference
on Thursday.
The railroad committee is as fol-
lows:
Daniel willard. president of the
r. and o.; Fairfax Harrison, presi-
dent of the Southern Railway;
Hale Holden. president Chicago.
Burlington and Quincy: H f.
Byron, president OF the Chicago
Milwaukee and st. Paul; Charles
Donnelly. president of the Northern
Pacific: william II. Finley. presi- =
dent Chicago, North Western Rail-
way Company: Edward Chambers
vice president of the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe.
In official quarters the difficul-
ties to be encountered by the rail-
road presidents in attempting to
meet the Presidents wishes are
thoroughly realized.
notwithstanding the difficulties
in the way. there is a growing feel
ing here that the movement ini-
tiated at the White House dinner
will get somewhere. 1t may be
necessary to submit a plan which
will involve further action by the
Railroad Labor Board with respect
to reducing labor costs. but the
President is said to hold the view
that labor cost reduction might be
brought about. IL some plan of rate
reduction could be agreed upon In
advance.

The Hon. Mrs. John Hugo
Russell, the Mother of
the "Dream Baby"

"a month later" said the witness,
"Mrs. Russell told me that fortune
teller had talked to her and her cousin
and had said that a baby was on its
way. Mrs. Russell said: 4 suppose it's
going to be me- Mrs. Russell added that
there were such things as Hunnish scenes,
and they had a fortnight of them, and
that she could not make a scene about
it. I received letter from Mrs. Russell
dated July a, in which she stated:

take it seriously it would be more seemly,
but the last few days have been wildly
hysterical over it. Every one knows of it
now. Do think of the rows of cos (co-
respondents) lined up for the trial"

Greet that he has enough evidence to

Odd Mrs. Russell say what she
meant when she referred to the Hunnish
scenes between her and her husband?
Al said to her, "Do you mean to say
he was brutal?" and she nodded her head,
and l said, 'T don't believe it." ...
Another witness, Mrs. Moresby White,
said Mrs. Russell told her the story about
the fortune teller and the "Dream Baby"

Mrs. Russell said she was absolutely
convinced at the time that the relations
between her and her husband had nothing
to do with paternity. Her husband would
come into her room in the early part of
1921, and say he had been lying awake for
hours with a gun, and threatened that he
would shoot himself unless she treated
him differently.

It very much surprised me, and could
not account for it.
