shopmen last night after their meet
ing here, accepting his peace proposals
upon condition that the unions inter-
pretation OF the settlement suggestions
be recognized Railroad executives
were also awaiting news from the cap
ital, after their acceptance Of all the

garding restoration of seniority rights

ONE FIRM AGREES
NTH ITS STRIKERS
Newmarket Manufacturing CO., Gives
Old Wage On so-hour
Basis.

Manchester, N. H., Aug 3.-The
settlement OF the strike at the New
market Manufacturing company's mills
the first break in the six months
statewide strike against wage cut
of 20 per cent and an increase from 40
to 4-hours--was discussed with inter-
est to-day at meetings of the 25,000
operatives affected. What significance
it might have on the general situation
was the subject Of special considera-
ition.
The victory OF the Newmarket
strikers-of whom there were l,O00--
in retaining the old rate on 50-hour
working basis, was hailed by many as
establishing tile basis Of settlement OF
strikers elsewhere. To others, how
ever, THE fact that it was announced
that the settlement applied only to
the silk department, which consti-
tute the principal part OF the New
market plant, discounted it's effect ON
the cotton mill situation, which IN
wolves most Of those on strike.
Vice President james Starr Of the
United Textile Workers of America,
at the strike headquarters, here, said
he WAS without advices that would
indicate the general Significance OF the
Newmarket agreement.
He was inclined to think that y
applied to silk and cotton workers
alike, he said, unless the company had
decided to abandon its cotton opera
tions. The Exeter Manufacturing
company small cotton plant had
intimated ii might offer similar terms
the strike leader added. but whether
any other mill owners would come for
ward with like compromises was
problematicaL
Vice President Starr said the New
market settlement constituted a not
able victory, but that he was not pre-
pared to recommend acceptance OF the
same terms elsewhere. He still felt, he
said, that a 4S-honr week should con-
tinue as the basis of employment.

GREAT BRITAIN
IS EXPECTED TO
PAY U. S. DEBT
Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon. Points Out That
Great Britain Has Form
ally Acknowledged That
Debt AS An Obligation
to Be Met BY British
Government

Washington, D. G., Aug. 3.-Great
Britain's note to her debtor nations
suggesting cancellation of the whole
inter allied indebtedness viii cause nc
change in the policy of the United
States towards its foreign debts, it
was stated officially to-day at the
treasury.
Secretary Mellon was represented as
taking the position that the American
debt commission must continue nego-
tiations for funding the obligations
owed this country with regard to the
disposition evidenced by Great Britain
to wipe out international wartime in
debtedness.
Moreover, MIR. Mellon, was under
stood to feel that inasmuch as Great
Britain, in correspondence with the
treasury. had acknowledged England's
war debt to the United States and
indicated 4 willingness to liquidate the
debt with interest and had announced
the sending Of financial mission in
September to discuss arrangements for
payment, there should be no hitch in
the proceedings. Also, according to
the treasury view, British statesmen
in Parliament have repeatedly de-
scribed the American debt as an obi
CATION to be met.
While to certain extent the Brit
ish note was regarded by the treasury
as making mo Z difficult an already
complicated international financial sit
uation, it was not considered as at
fcctins the honor Of the United States
toward Great Britain or the other ma
tions.
As the note was not addressed to
the United States, Mr.. Mellon was said
to hold the view that no official cogni-
zance of it's transmission would be
taken by this country.
