secret meeting to formulate policy for
its eleven members to promote at the ma

What action the eastern group, which
includes several of the most powerful
lines, will finally pursue was not indi-
Gated, those attending today's meeting
asserting they had been pledged to Sc
crecy. The only comment was made by
I. F. Loree, president of the Delaware

ence who issued a statement setting
forth that Atlantic coast roads, which
normally employ 161, ,339 shopmen, had
brought their forces up to 71.5 per cent
of that figure on August is.
This represented an increase OF 2.5 per
cent over the week ending August H.

on the eighteenth. but the occurrences
of last week put a damper on recruiting

STRIKING SHOPMEN SHOULD HAVE
SUPPORT OF ALL RAILWAY UNIONS

since the armistice, have been seeking to
weaken and destroy the voluntary organ
izations of the workers.
mo amount of conscientious effort and
forbearance on the part of the workers,
however, could overcome the attitude
and policies dictated by the small but
powerful group of bankers who control
the finance of the railroads, and who
have compelled the adoption by the rail-
roads of policy of bitter antagonism to
tho organizations of the workers.
.'Finally, the decision of the railway
labor board compelled resistance on the
mart of workers through suspension OF
work. A wage of % cents per hour was
established for section men, and this
wage is the basis upon which all other
wages were calculated. The railroad
abon workers are on strike to endeavor
m secure a living wage for the malnte-
nance of the American standard OF hv-
ing. 1t is to be hoped that every union
on dts membership, individually and col
1activelv. will again demonstrate its SOL

FRANCE DETERMINED
MAKE GERMANY PAY
Will Act Alone, Rather Than
Depart From Plan to Revenge
Hun Devastation.

BAR-LE-DUCE, France, Aug. 21-
France is firmly determiped to make
Germany pay for the devastation she
caused in the war and, rather than de-
part from this fixed intention, she will
act alone, Premier Poincare declared at
the opening meeting of the general coun-
Gil of the department of the Meuse to-
day. in a speech which is generally re-
garded as the complete official declara-
ton of French reparations policy.
The necessity and justice of the pay
ment of reparations by Germany we're
emphasized by the French premier, who
placed the blame for the present situ2-
,tion on the attitude of the commsslCn
of reparations and the allure of Great
Britain TO understand the desperate
plight Of her allies and the need for
the payment of the indemnity.
NJ. Poincare recited figures in an effort
to prove that Germany was Responsible
for her own collapse and had deliberate
" failed to live up to the demands OF
the reparations commissiCn. He Vigor-
ously denied that France sOuShE 10 en-
slave Germany in revenge for the de-
vastation OF war.
Nj Poincare held olU the hope of Ger
man and French cooperation with both
nations working together some day, If
Germany would change her tactics anu
do her best to repair in peace tie dam
age she caused in war. France was
eager to cooperate with her allies. ne

rather than be deprived Of her just COM
