BOARD STATEMENT
Railroad Manager Denies New
Rule Will Save Lines
Millions.

CHICAGO. Jan. 29.-Samucl NJ.
FELTON,. president of the Chicago
Great Western Railway and chair
man of the Western presidents
committee on public relations. to-
day took issue with the United
States Railroad Labor Board on
the savings to be effected for the
carriers on the new working rules
for 3j0.000 railroad clerks. freight
handlers express and station (em-
ployeS.
FELTON, sand that the statement
issued by the hoard that the new
rules would cause saving of from
$l5.000,000 to 10000. 900 annually
was fabrication and that the
statistical department of the labor
board itself estimated the saving
not at s15.OOO.OOO but at s4.s23,-
524.S4."
His statement denied that any
witness for the railways in hear
ines before the Railroad La bor
Board ever estimated that the two
rules in question cost the rail-
roads s50.000.000 a year. Further
more."\ he added. some railways
which haze carefully checked their
figures are unable to find that the
changes in rules in question will
enable them to make any savings
that are more. than negligible.

Moderate Stand.

LONDON. Jan. 29.-Great Britain.
being accustomed to making the
best of unfortunate diplomatic sit
uations. now sees silver lining to
the clouds of pessimism which were
created by Americas reluctance to
share in European reconstruction
plans as embodied in the Genoa con-
ference.
The conversion of France to a
program more in keeping with the
ideas of other nations is now re-
garded az a pleasant prospect and
the British believe this may come
as result Of President Harding :
reported attitude toward the Genoa
meeting. AS consequence, Premier
Lloyd George though extremely
hopeful of American support in his
PAN European revival, Is now recon
ciled to temporary American aloof-
ness even though it may cause the
Genoa conference to he postponed
This. it is believed. is due I" the
hope that in the meantime there
will be some plain-spoken reasons
attributed to Americas decision not
to participate at Genoa. namely,
that the French policy prccludcs
reduction Of land ornaments, as
well as more moderate attitude
toward Germany and the establish
ment of world relations on real
peace basis. Such development,
British observers believe. might
swing France into line and awaken
Premier Poincare to the necessity
of an effort to Danish Americas
misgivings.
British officials openly declare
that England desires notifications
in the French policy just as much
as does the United States. Thus.
if Americas hesitance to cooperate
might be the means of adjusting
Anglo French relations in accord
ance with British specifications,
then Lloyd George would willingly
await the recovery of Americas
feelings toward France
In fact, champions Of Anglo
American cooperation in foreign
affairs suggest that the present
American attitude is not without
some earmarks of an understanding
with Downing Street. In this con-
nection it is learned that when Earl
Curzon goes to Paris Tuesday he
will discuss the Genoa conference
with Poincare and will gently point
out to the French premier that the
present French program is now bar
ring the United States from Eu-
ropean councils. The British for
eign minister will urge modifca-
tions. The visit OF Curzon to Paris
