NEW HAVEN MEN ARE. STILL OUT, THEY SAY.
Deny That Strikers Are Return
 ins--Road's Statement

New Haven, Aug. 3o.-Women filled the gallery seats in Moose hall | today when the striking shopmen held their mid-week mass meeting to hear reports on strike conditions on the N. Y. N. H. and H. railroad. Wives and daughters of strikers had been especially invited to be present. The object was, it was stated by lead CTS, to give the folks at home" first hand information as to strike condi- tions.
 The speakers were James Martin, steamf1tter at the Cedar Hill yards, and Andrew Kelly. a locomotive fire man and former lodge officer.
 John C. Ready, chairman of the system federation, stated that there had been no assertions from the ranks of the strikers in spite of state ments of the railroad management to the contrary. He said that the only men who had returned to work from among the strikers were elderly men who feared that they would lose their pensions. Such were advised to re- turn. Mir. Ready said. and only eight here had gone in.
 MT. Ready also said that reports from various parts of the system in- dicated that trains were running off schedule. ranging from one to ten hours. He also said that the hydro tests of engines. federal govern nent requirement.. are much delayed. Mir. Ready speaks at a mass meeting in New London tonight.

 The strike statement of the New Haven road today began:
 Exaggerated reports of alleged in- convenience to the public have ap- parently been circulated the latest which has come to the attention of the New Haven management being that arrangements were being made to give priority to freight train movement and that in order to do so passenger train service was to be cur tailed" The statement goes on to say that business is being handled on normal basis without any substan-

ering suggestions that Secretary of Commerce Hoover be sent to Europe in the role of an umpire on repara- tions. This statement was made in answer to queries intended to bring out the White House attitude toward suggestions made by former Governor Hoover's presence would have a bene- fcial effect on discussions looking to an agreement as between the powers.
 Informed by Hoover.
 President Harding has been kept fully informed of the situation through Secretary Hoover who is keeping in close touch with it. It is believed probable that the time for action to which reference was made today will not come until after the American government has reached an understanding with Great Britain on the funding of the British debt.
 Just as the government used the presence here of the French funding epresentatives to secure better idea of the entire background of the finan- cial fabric of the French republic the presence of the British mission will be taken advantage of to discuss the entire European situation.
 Whatever differences may exist be- tween Great Britain and the United States on the debt question there is a very close accord on the general Eur opean financial question. Like Great Britain, this country feels that noth- ing can come of proposals based on the payment of the German indem- nity as fixed in the Versailles treaty. Its radical scaling down is regarded by the administration as the prere- uuisite of an intelligent solution.
 This sealing down, together with the diminution of military expendi- lures, the restoration of the gold standard and the balancing of budgets are the essential beginnings of recoN cry as viewed both by Great Britain and the United States.
 It applies to France particularly because France, as much as Germany, is the pivot of the whole situation. It is indicated that Great Britain is very anxious that the United States should formally join in placing this view be- fore Europe and presentations Of a formal character may be made by Great Britain when the funding com mission arrives.

AMERICA WILL AID EUROPE TO RECOVER
 Participation in Steps for Solu- tions Coming Later

Washington, D. C., Aug. 3o.- When the time comes the United States government will formally and fully participate in plans for the so- luton of the European economic and financial tangle. Official announce ment to this effect was made on be- half of the administration, which let it be known there was no intention of sending Herbert Hoover to join the reparations board.
 While President Harding, however, realizes that the United States will eventually go in on plans for rehabili- tation, he Is represented as of the be- lief that the time for full and formal action has not yet arrived, but Is will ing that it should be known that this country is keeping a close tab on de- velopments in Europe, not only as these affect American interstate but as they affect the general situation.
 For the moment this government is unwilling to commit itself to any spe- cifc proposal looking to a solution of the tangle which is proving so em- barassing to European statesmen. It is indicated that the point has not yet been reached when this country can give its approval to financial con- ference for the consideration of the whole question of interallied debts.
 One of the reasons why this coun- try feels that 1t is better to mark time is that it would be unwise for the United States to make any formal or even informal suggestions while Great Britain and France are at dagger point on the large questions of policy as regards German reparations. The time for American participation will not have come until the political fer ment growing out of British French differences has settled itself and some degree of accord reached on general policies is indicated.
 Administration spokesmen in stat ing that America would go in more and more formally when the right time comes, refused to discuss what would signalize the proper time. This is a point, it was said, which it would not be advantageous to discuss at the present For the moment all that this government intends to do is to keep fully, although informally. in touch with the European financial and economic situation. storing in the meantime a large amount of valuable which has a bearing on future policies,
