posal put forward by President

ferences in the coal industry was
formally accepted late today by the
anthracite operators.
The acceptance was announced
from the White House after repre-

president. 1t also was clear when
the anthracite operators left after
the call that the response to the pres

only condition made was to fix a
definite limit in time for the arbi-
tration commission to take in fixing
new wage scales. The president
was said to be satisfied with the pro-
posal and the anthracite operators
arranged to make their letters of re-

Meet
on Russia
Collapses
Russians Refuse to Make
Promises on Foreign Prop.
erty Compensation Until
Loans Arranged.
New Meeting Unlikely

The Hague, July l2.-(By 4. P.)-
The conference with representatives
of soviet Russia here broke down At
/ o'clock this afternoon without ap-
parent hope Of further meeting.
Maxim Litvinoff of the Russian
delegation, said on leaving the con-
ference chamber that further meet
ings were unlikely, as the non-Rus-
slams insisted upon the Russians
making promises with regard to
property compensation and giving
guarantees which were impossible
until the Russians knew what credit
and loans would be granted.
.~- For One Month.
NJ. Litvinof added that the Genoa
nonaggression peace pact would
hold for one month after the last
meeting.
In the conference session today
Sir Philip-Lloyd Greame' Of Great
Britain after hearing the Russian ex.
PLANTATION concerning the restriction
of confscated foreign property, an
nounced that no useful purpose
would be served in continuing the
discussions.
To Consult Colleagues.
. Sir Philip said he would, consult
his colleagues as to whether any
good could be served by a fuhther
meeting of the subcommission on
property. Sir Philip found the re-
plies of the Russians unsatisfactory
because they declined to make any
promises concerning compensation.
M. Litvonof declared that Sir Philip
Lloyd-Greame of England, M. Alp
hand of France and others of the
non-Russian representatives had in
sisted upon beginning work just
where the Genoa conference began
and had made progress impossible
by threshing over old straw and de-
manding replies from the Russians
which they could not possibly make
until the other powers told them
what would be done financially by
those powers toward Russian re-
storation.
Eve cannot say how long it will
take TO restore Russia until we know
what our resources will be-" Litvof1-
off insisted.

seniority rights and pension privi-
leges have voluntarily removed
themselves permanently from the
service of the Burlington railroad and
we are now employing mechanics to
equip our roundhouses and shops to
their full capacity, in order to con-
tinue to perform service to the pub
lie that we are obligated to perform
as railroad" says Mr.. Thiehoff.
"As taxpayers and citizens the EN-.
ployes of the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy railroad are entitled to
the moral and physical protection re-
sulting from the enforcement of ex-
isting laws, and I make formal re-
quest through you as city clerk on

cil-of Havelock, Neb., for such pro-
lection and aid in having the citizens
obey the injunction issued under
date of July 10, 1922, against inter-
fering with the employees of the Chi
