~ Trains in 4 States

ST. LOUIS, July s.-The Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Railway Company to-
day suspended forty-seven local trains
in Missouri, Oklahoma. Kansas and
Texas, due. it was said, to the physical
impossibility of getting LOGON otives
in and out of the round house and fear
Of consequences that might result if an
effort were made to employ workers not
affiliated with the union.
The roundhouse at Sedalia has been
abandoned, according to an announces
ment by c. E. Schaff, receiver, and the
trains will not be operated until def
mite assurances were received from the
Governors of the states that new en-
ployees would be protected and until
there were guards on duty to protect
them. Ten of the trains are in Mis-
souri,, twelve in Oklahoma, two in Kan
sas and twenty-three in Texas.

Railsooy Clerks Officers
Evusipe ON Strike, Fyoro

CINCINNATI, Ohio, July s.-While
no positive statement would be made
here at the Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks as to whether strike sanction
had been given clerks on the New
York Central Lines, it was said that
clerks on a number of lines had voted
to strike and had been given strike
sanction by the officers of the brother
hood. Names of lines affected were
withheld by the officials here.
1t was pointed out by officials that
calling of strike and settling of the
date are entirely up to the general
chairman of the system or road voting
to go out, and all that the general of
fcers of the brotherhood are author
lied to do under the clerks strike pro-
cedure is to give strike sanction. Local
officials here are following a policy of
silence and refuse to give out any in
formation whatever on the strike stu
alton among the clerks.

cancel the debt owing by the French
governent to the United States govern
ment, is not willing to consider writ
ing off just that much of the German
reparations. The French take the view,
it is explained, that the money owed
by them to the United States is recog-
nized as an obligation, but one on
which interest need not be paid, and
one which need not give the French
any concern for o period of years. On
the other hand, they regard the Ger
man reparations as money which is to
be paid them at once.
Meanwhile, it is Said in German cir
cies here, Germany is in dire and vital
need OF American products, particularly
copper, cotton and food, if she is to be
rehabilitated. How those purchases
are to be financed is the real problem
facing not only Germany, but vir-
tualiy the civilized world to-day. To
pay her reparations Germany must
work full time, and every obstacle i'm
posed by any nation. or any condition
makes the total amount she will be
able to pay just that much less.
Germans here point out that almost
the only market Germany might have
which has not been made unusually
difficult by tariffs and embargoes is
Russia, and that for the present it is
idle to think of obtaining either pay
ment or goods in return from Russia
which would aid Germany in making
her reparation payments.
The trouble is, the Germans point
out, that while gold merely is token
for work accomplished, Germany is de-
prived of turning work accomplished
into gold, while the French demand
gold. The only wholesome factor of
the situation, they say, is that there
IS no employment problem in Ger
many. This is what, in their view has
STAYED off so far a social revolution.
"lf our unemployed were as numer-
Gus as the people out Of work in Great
Britain to-day" said a man in close
touch with the German situation here,
I'VE would have a social revolution to-
morrow, for the reason that our gov
ernment simply could not pay unem-
ployment allowances as the British gov
ernment is doing.
Furthermore, if the French seize
the Ruhr Valley there will be very
speedily social revolution in Ger
many, for that would precipitate al
most Immediately a very bad unem-
ployment situation, and people do not
starve quietly. This revolution I have
been expecting for some time, as l do
not see how the payments are to be
continued, and l have been expecting
to see the French occupy the Ruhr
II 1t comes undoubtedly Germany will
have communistic form of govern
ment, the officials of which will worry
not at all about reparations payments
or any other international obligations
"Of course, the French may consider
the question more coldly when they
come right up to the point of cutting
cur industrial throat by seizing the
Ruhr Valley They may speculate a
BIT as to what there is in it for them
They may decide they can do better
by letting the goose keep on laying
some golden eggs, even if the eggs are
rot as large as they are demanding. >

Cermony's Living Costs
Go Up as Mark Falls

BERLIN, July (By The Associated
Press) THE index figure representing
the cost Of living in Germany during
June is announced as 3,779. as against
8.462 for May. making an increase of
90 per cent. The rise in prices is more
marked in the smaller towns than in
the larger cities: The higher cost of
living is due chiefly to the increased
prices Of foodstufs, especially pota-
toes, and also to higher prices for gas
and electricity.
"Vorwaerts" points out that the in
creased costs are due to the recent fall
Of the mark. The paper forecasts
still greater rise in living expenses,
and attributes the slump in marks 20
the Rathenau murder, calling attention
to the fact that the mark has since
fallen to half of it's previous value
abroad. The paper says that negotia-
tions are proceeding for an increase in
civil service salaries, due to the low
value of the mark and the increased
cost Of living

Erie Railroad
Cuts 20 Trains
From Schedule
Coal Conservation Given
as Reason for Taking Of
Suburban Carriers; Deny
Strike Had Amy Effect
More Cars ON Trains
Central Denies Reduction
Of Freights; Shopmen
Returning, Say Officials

Twenty passenger trains Of the Erie
Railroad, the majority Of them used
in handling traffic in New York's su-
burban territory, will be discontinued
tomorrow, it was said last night.
This action is being taken, it was
said, as coal conservation measure.
Notices of the withdrawal of the trains
were posted by the railroad at it's ter
minal in Jersey City and at the various
ferry houses in Manhattan. 1t was
said that there is no actual coal short
age at present.
The withdrawal of the suburban
trains is not brought about, it was de-
clared, by the railroad shopmens
strike. It is thought, however, that
this strike, together with the coal
miners strike. was a factor in causing
the Erie to take the precaution.
Other Trains To Be Larger
The cancellation of the Erie trains
will not cause the travelling public to
will be added to those trains continued
in service
The New York Central issued a for
NAL statement yesterday denying an
announcement from Utica that freight
trains had been cancelled and sched-
ules cut down, The railroads state
ment said, in part:
"Not a songle freight train or pas
senger train has been cancelled, nor one
regular schedule reduced on the New
York Central system, but, to the con-
trary, the heavy holiday passenger
traffic, which was unprecedented In our
history, was handled promptly and
with the addition of nearly forty trains
to the regular schedules.
"The publication that freight trains
were cancelled stated that this was an
nounced in Ut\a, but the officials of
the New York Central at Utica, includ-
ing the division superintendent, and
other officers, made no such statement,
and were not given any opportunity
to tell the true facts, though the pub
lication of this misinformation was
calculated to injure the railroad and
its loyal working forces and mislead
the public and appeared to be wholly
unjustihed.

The passenger service has been alb

Reports to-day are that former reg

for their old positions all along the
line, with a most satisfactory return at
several of the larger shops. The car

smaller than in the car shops, but they
are being augmented daily and the
crews permanently organized. The car
inspectors, who have to do with train
operation ut terminals, are recruited
up sufficient to assure uninterrupted
train movement"
The strike Of the railroad shopmen
in this section, never movement
marked by noisy incident. passed its
quietest day yesterday, with no out
bursts Of violence or sabotage and
without even the customary flow Of
vigorous and hopeful statements from
both sides. The men seemed to be
adding half holiday from active strik-
ing to their complete holiday from
work, and the carriers, always studied
ly Indifferent to the situation caused
by the walk out, showed even less in
terest in the strike than on the seven
preceding days.
Unions Warn Public
Tho ono new departure of the day
was warning issued by the union
leaders to the travelling public, assert
ing that the rolling stock Of the com
panes has been deteriorating so fast
in the last week that accidents are
likely to result from the continuance
of the strike for another seven days.
The delegates asserted that since July
l. virtually no repairs have been pos
sible; that what little has been done
is the work of strike breakers not
fitted for their jobs, and that already
railroads are being compelled to use
cars which would never be used under
ordinary conditions.
At strike headquarters the report Of
the days progress included the claim
that the Jersey Central has closed its
shops at Elizabethport, N. j., and Ash
ley, Pa, since the walkout of all but
forty-six of the employees at the
Elizabethport plant and 900 of 1000 at
Ashley. Similar action at the Lahigh
Valley shops at Coxton, Pa, was also
announced by the unions, together
with the accession to the strike of 500
shopmen from the Pennsylvania Thir-
ty-second Street plant in Philadelphia
and 750 in the Argyle, Pa, shops of the
Lehigh and New England, the gateway
to New England for the now closed
Panther Greek anthracite fields.
The roads for the most part con-
tented themselves with denying earlier
union claims and making a few reports
Of slight progress. The Erie denied
the report that Hindus are being taken
on in its Jersey City shops, and the
Jersey Central and the Lehigh Valley
denied the closing of any OF their
shops.
