require that all county tickets shall
be printed on plain white paper and
all state tickets on some colored paper;

NEAR EAST CONTROVERSY.
Powers Agree to Hold Conference for
an Understanding.

Further danger of the immediate
outbreak of the threatened war in the
Near East has been settled by an
agreement for an early conference or
the powers most directly concerned.
The crisis was precipitated by the
announced purpose Of Kemal Pasha 10
pursue the Greek army that he has
driven out of Asia Minor across the
Bosphorus into Thrace and to resume
Turkish sovereignty over Constantine
pie.
The treaty of Sevres has taken the
Turks out of Europe, given eastern
Thrace to the Greeks. established
neutral zone on both sides OF the
straits between the Mediterranean and
Black seas, and internationalized Con-
stantinople under British protection.
The prosecution of the threat of Ke-
NAL Pasha meant the brushing aside OF
the treaty of Sevres and the reopen
ing of the whole combinations or the
Near East problems.
Assuming of course, that the other
signatory powers would unhesitatingly
uphold the integrity of the treaty OF
Sevres, the British government imme-
diately warned Kemal Pasha not to
attempt the crossing of the straits and
France and Italy having come to a
different view of the whole situation,
showed disposition to hold back; but
Great Britain continued her prepara-
tions with the cnnounced purpose of
going it alone, even going to the
length of occupying the fort Of Cha
max at the narrowest point of the Dar-
danelles and on the Asiatic side.
The vigorous attitude Of Great Brit
ain has brought Kemal Pasha to an
agreement that he will await the re-
suit of conference in which he will
participate with Great Britain, France,
Italy, Japan, Greece, Rumania and
Jugo Slavia.
1t is understood that the United
States will be welcome to the confer
ence if it desires to be represented; ;
but the United States has not been in
vited because of it's alOofness from Eu-
ropean affairs.
Russia is known to claim n great
deal of interest in the whole matter,
but not having been recognized by any
of the powers except Turkey, is not
being asked to participate.
While the tentative agreement for q
conference seems to make the present
situation reasonably secure, there is
reason to anticipate that trouble may
develop between the Turkish and Brit
ish forces at alr-Iost any time, and if
this happens there will Of course be
further complications.
Before the agreement for conference,
it is known that Kemal Pasha had an
nounced his purpose to go into Thrace
for the purpose of protecting the Mos
lem population from the Greeks and
that he proposes to resume Turkish
sovereignty over Constantnople and
it is known that Russia feels that she
is entitled to say in tho whole mat
ter, regardless of the fact that she is
not recognized by the other powers.

and meat was coming from. From our
point of view, however, the strike has
peen worth while We have gotten
practically everything that we held out
for and we have convinced the world
that our union is still the strong Or
ganization that it has been for years
and that we do not propose to try to
live on the wages that we were max

War. We have convinced everybody
that we couldn't do that because fV-
