Geneva, Sept. 9.-(By The Associ-
ated Press) THE League of Nations,
it is generally conceded, will not in
terfere In Asia Minor affairs unless
for the protection of frontiers after
the governments have fixed peace
terms between the Greeks and Turks.
The first phase of the third assembly
of the league ended Saturday with
the close of the general debate on the
councils work, without giving any in
dication as to what the assembly may
do Sunday The tone of the speeches,
including those of the leaders, such as
Lord Robert Cecil, the Earl of Balfour
and NJ. Hanotaux. tended to show
that they were convinced that the
league at the present time was unable
to make much progress in any direc-
ton other than toward what is called
moral disarmament"
This will consist of the preparation
of the minds of the peoples through
out the world for abandonment of
force as a means of settlement in in
ternational disputes. Lord Robert Cecil
one of the most active of league en-
thusiasts who have contended that the
league must go ahead and act on all
questions within the scope of the
covenant, says frankly that under pre-
sent circum stances the league cannot
do much but content itself with what
it can do pending the time when the
political situation will allow the gov
ernments to look at disarmament from
a different angle than today.
Leon Bourgeois, and the Earl of
Balfour. who have been in constant
argue that the world is
not ready for the important work the
league was set up TO do and that the
present assembly must be steered clear

EXPECT TARIFF
MEASURE TO Be
LAW NEXT WEEK
Conferees End Task of
Rewriting; Compro-
mise Action Noted.
Rates on Sugar, Wool
and Other Items Re-
ported Shaved a Bit.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Republican
conferees. completed Saturday their
task of rewriting the administration
tariff bill and it was announced that
the measure and conference report
would be presented to the house next
Thursday. Action by the house is look
ed for on Wednesday and then the re-
port will 60 to the senate. Those in
charge of the bill houe to have it in the
presidents hands by the end of next
week.
American valuation as the basis for
assessing tariff duty was discarded, the
house managers passing on this and
accepting the so-called flexible tariff
as substitute after that had been
broadened so as to give the president
authority to declare American valua-
tion in any cases where investigation
showed that an American industry
could not be protected by assessing
duties on the foreign valuation. Author
ity for the president to increase or de-
crease rates also was approved.
There was a compromise on all OF
the high spots in the bill. In the case
of sugar, the conference agreed on a
uuty Oh -EO CeuiS pOuHu OE I'iO
pound on Cuban raw sugar, as against
the senate rates of go cents and 1S4
cents, respectively, and the house rates
of cents and 1.6 cents respectively.
The present rates are . cents and
1.60, and those in the Underwood law
were 1.25 cents and 1 cent.
The raw wool duty said to have been
agreed upon was 81 cents a pound,
secured content ,as against the SEN
ate rate of 33 cents, the house rate
of % cents and the emergency tariff
duty of 45 cents. The senate re-
publican agricultural tariff bloc held
out for the senate rate to the last, but
the house conferees insisted On arbitra-
ton.
There was a last minute row in con-
ference over the question of duty on
shingles, but whether these were left
on the free list where they were voted
by the senate was not disclosed. Sena-
tor Kellogg. republican, of Minnesota,
conferred with the conferees in support
of free shingles while Senator Good

lcan tariff bloc and McNary and Stan

the conferees plan to get to work next
week on the soldiers bonus bill, with
n view to having that ready for final
action by the senate and house before

Democratic managers from the house
and senate will be called into conference
on the bonus as that is not partisan
measure. They were excluded from
examination of the tariff but will in

been printed and will cast their votes

Tribune's Helena Bureau.)

Helena. Sept. 9.-Senatorial candi-
date Carl Riddicks avOwed right to
name the chairman of the republican
state central committee to forward the
interests of his candidacy along with
others on the ticket was completely
ignored by the Dixon wing of the party
at the republican state convention Sat
urday. when it refused to consider his
request for the election of DIR. Ii. ID.
Mckenzie of Havre, and instead placed
Joseph D. Seaman of Miles City in
charge of coming campaign. Riddick's 8
candidate was not mentioned when
nominations were called for, it having
been made so apparent to his sup
porters that the cards were stacked
against him that it would be folly TO
put him up against humiliating de-
feat.
Or. McKenzie's Hill county hackers
hung on as long as there appeared the
slightest chance, but Riddick's chief
boosters in the capital city and from
the Judith Basin had already seen the
handwriting on the wall through q
conference with Governor Dixon and
DIR. o. NJ. Lastrum, who informed
them that while they recognized the
right of Riddick in the matter, un-
fortunately the Riddick following lack
ed a sufficient number of delegates
to enforce MS demand.
Accordingly, when the time came
for the election of a state chairman,
Scanlan's name, presented by o. A.
Bergeson, was the only one proposed
for that place. The nomination was
seconded by Attorney General w. d.
Rankin in a strong speech in which
he advocated complete support for
every cadidate on the ticket, from top
to bottom, and plead for disregard
of factional differences. A motion to
close the nominations was made by G.
A. Rasmussen, one of the Riddick
leaders, after which o. A. Bergeson
was nominated for secretary of the
state committee, and, evidently to
show to what an extent peace and
harmony prevailed, the nominations
were closed upon the motion of Ed
Donlan, of Missoula, one of the
strongest anti-Dixon men in the CON
vention.
PfeIffer Named Treasurer
Carl Pfeiffer of Helena, was elected
treasurer of the state committee.
The convention was most har-
monious one, the harmony being of |
that character which borders on list |
lessness. There was q pronounced lack |
of enthusiasm and outside of the per- |
functory motions necessary to the reg

word was spoken from the floor. Even |
the reading of the resolutions, which |
contained reference TO number of |
matters of vital importance to the
people of the state, failed to arouse

voice.

LABOR BOARD ORDERS
FARMING OUT WORK
STOPPED BY ROADS
Decision Against Six Lines
Handed Down by Official
Body.

Chicago. Sent. 9.-The railroad la
Dor board Saturday, on the basis of its
decision some time ago against the
Indiana Harbor Belt railroad. handed
down decisions against six roads in IS
cases of old complaints by labor or
CARNATIONS that the roads had been
letting out work on contracts.
The roads, except in one or two in
stances, gave up farming out" of
work prior to the shopmen's strike last
July /. The labor board in the Indiana
Harbor case set precedent by hold
ing that contract of work should be
abandoned
The Erie railroad, one of the lines
which did not agree TO the contract
ing work: the New York Central lines:
San Antonio. Nevada & Gulf. Great
Northern; Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fe and Chicago 4 Northwestern were
the roads against which the board gave
unanimous decisions. incidentally, the
case against the Great Northern was
filed by the Brotherhood Of Station

This separate agreement plan is
already in practice by the railroad
brotherhoods. 1t will be a new policy
for these particular unions, however.
The 'recalcitrant' roads did not in
any way object to the rest of us set
unions, because their attitude is that
the strike is no longer of any interest
to them
Many union leaders, members of the
policy committee of 80, arrived in the
city for Mondays meeting and more
are expected Sunday. The meeting
will be held coincident with the hear
ing of the governments petition to
make permanent the temporary in
junction granted against the strikers a
week ago.
A statement was issued by the Asso-
citation of Railway Executives assert

crease in the number of men employed
in the shops and that large volume Of
business was being moved
"The number. Of men employed in
the shops of the western railways had
increased on September s to los, $50,
or 65 per cent of the number before
the strike began" the statement said.
In connection with the arrival Of
evidence to be used at the Injunction
hearing Monday, federal agents said
that an effort would be made to prove
the existence of a nationwide railroad
sabotage plot and ii was indicated that
wholesale indictm ents would be sought
