definitely predicted to begin within
the next ten days, Captain Dayton,
commandant of the yard, said this
morning. He could not yet an.
nounce the number of clerks to be
released by the order to cut, but
declared this would be known within
a few days.
Jobless Now 1,4OO.
Further "furloughing" of machin-
lists and allied workers is not antici-
pated at present, though additional
individual layoffs as work in various
divisions becomes slack are expected
to push the total of those now un-
employed well over 1,400.

I'VE are also endeavoring to get
Congress on. record as favoring the
manufacture Of munitions in gov
eminent yards and arsenals, carry
ing out the suggestion that such
policy would tend to decommercial-
ize war. This would be possible,
we believe, through an amendment
of the Naval Appropriation bill,
which will be considered shortly, de-
spite the fact that legislation is
unusual on appropriation bills.
I'VE are of the opinion that tho
people who paid $500, 100000 for
arsenals and munitions plants do
not want these institutions scrapped
or sold to private companies at big
losses, placing the government at
the mercy of combines should there
he sudden need for munitions again.
Many of the Navy Yards of the
country were established for the
very reason that the government
was being gouged by excessive
prices on tonnage. The West Vir-
ginia Ordnance plant, manufactur-
ing armour plate as an auxiliary
of the Washington Yard, was es-
tablished similarly to cut the cost

Wallace Denies Toll Road Permit.

Denver.-The petition of the citizens
of the state for permission to build
toll road up Mount Evans, near Den
yer, will be held in allegiance by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace, should
the state desire to construct the scenic
highway with the taxpayers money,
according to telegram received here
by c. ]. Stahl, assistant forester of the
Colorado district, from w. B. Greeley,
chief forester. According to the mes
sage, Secretary Wallace believes the
offer made by several public-spirited
citizens of the state-to build the road
and operate it as a toll road until they
collected the amount of their invest
ment plus small amount of interest,
and then to turn 1t over to the state
to be an unusually fair and attractive
offer, but that he will defer action on
the petition until he is assured that the
people of the state do not wish to build
the road with money from their own
pockets.

FRENCH CLASH
WITH RUSSIANS
CLAIM THE NATION REFUSES
TO DISCUSS ARMA-
MENT.
KEYNOTE IS PEACE
LLOYD GEORGE MAKES APPEAL
FOR RESTORATION OF GOOD
RELATIONS.
Western Newspaper Union New, serr,o..)

Genoa.-A clash over Il disarma-
ment proposal by George Chitcherin
he Russian Soviet foreign minister,
which occurred between Chitcherin
and NJ. Barthou. France, threatened to
disrupt the Genoa conference at its
opening session.
NJ Barthou said that France cate
gorically refused to discuss disarma-
ment ut Genoa. NJ. Chitcherin replied
that Russia thought France would be
ready to discuss this suggestion be
cause NJ. BRAND, the former French
premier, had said ut the Washington
conference that Russia's armaments
had made disarmament impossible.
Mr.. Lloyd George hastened to inter-
vene, and in his contention that disar-
mament could not be taken up, certain
ly not before peace basis had been
reached at Genoa, he was supported
by Signor Faeto.
Eventually the discussion on this
point ceased, after NJ. Chitcherin said
the Russian delegation would bow to
the collective will of the conference.
The clash between the Russian and
French delegates disclosed the fact
that disarmament Is not on the agenda
and that, therefore, this matters is not
to be taken up for consideration.
The keynote of Lloyd Georges
speech was peace, and he made pow
erful appeal to the delegates to work
in unison for the restoration of good
relations and normal economic condl-
tions throughout the world. He be-
lieved that, if thee difference was sue
cessful in Its achievements, the
United States "would not merely come
in, but come in gladly"
The Italian premier, who was elected
permanent chairman of the conference,
was equally earnest In his desire for
unanimity, and promised the aid Of
Italy in carrying out any resolution
likely to guarantee peace and stability
among the nations.
NJ. Bnrthou pledged the loyal sup
port of France in whatever the confer
| ence might do to put into execution
the tasks of reconstruction and good
relationship which it had mapped out.
The ambassador from the United
States, Richard Washburn Child, took
his seat in section reserved for emil
nent guests. He was to attend all the
open meetings but will not be present
at any conferences of committees at
which the actual important work Of
the conference will be completed.
