WILL NOT OCCUPY RuHR

Paris.-TLe reparations crisis was
smoothed over by a decision OF the
reparations commission refusing Ger
many's demand for moratorium, but
at the same time absolving the Berlin
government from further cash pay
ments this year. In the meantime the
decision is that Belgium, to whom
would have gone, owing to her priority
right, whatever money would have
been received frem the Reich up to
Dec. 81 next. gets German promissory
notes instead Of gold. The Brussels
government is satisfied with this ar
rangement, which indeed is supposed
to have been suggested by its dele
gates on the commission, and France
also Is presumed to acquiesce, since
Louis Dubois, French spokesman and
the commissions chairman, voted
EYE" Immediately after conference
with Premier Poincare, who had ac-
cepted the Belgian compromise.
Thus, for the present a rupture
among the allies is averted and the
French army's advance into the Ruhr
has been called off.
There is general expectation that
the result Of the commissions delib-
erations viii have beneficial effect
upon both the franc and the mark,
although basically the financial situa-
ton in France and Germany is unaf-
fected.
The first step in today's proceed
ings was a flat rejection by majority
vote of the French and Belgian dele
gates against the British, with the
Italian envoy abstaining from voting
on Sir John Bradbury's motion for
granting Germany an unconditional
moratorium for the balance of the
year. The compromise project then
was voted into effect unanimously.
The commission formally postponed
passing upon Berlin's moratorium re-.
quest until it has terminated a pro-
gram for the reform of German ii
nances inc 0ding balancing of the bud
get; eventual reduction, providing con-
sent Of interested powers is obtained,
of Germany's external obligations;
monetary readjustment and omission
of foreign and domestic loans when
possible.

New Bonus Plan May Prevent vete

New Bonus Plan May Prevent Veto
Washington.-The big question in
the minds of the friends Of the bonus
was whether the senate provision Of
paying It out of the interest of the
foreign debt would put it beyond the
risk Of presidential veto. Most Of
them appeared more hopeful but foes
of the measure seemed undisturbed.
Proponents recalled that the president
had suggested to the members OF the
ways and means committee early in
the year that the house defer action
for time in the expectation that in
terest payments from Great Britain
would begin to come in.

Chicago.-Dispatches from the east
to the effect that President B. n.
Jewell Of the striking railway shop
crafts union had. effected a secra;
pease with the railroad executives,
were vigorously denied by other Of
ficials of the union, who admitted
Jewell was probably on his way back
to Chicago, but they had no intfma-
ton of a settlement.
According to the eastern dispatches
the strikers made certain concessions
regarding the rights of the men who
remained loyal and the new men TAX
en- on since the strike. Under no cir
cumstances are these men to be dis
turbed, it Is said. It is also said the
roads will use their best efforts with
the United States labor board to gain
for the men an increase of seven
cents an hour.
People in Chicago who are close to
the inside workings of the strike and
efforts made to end it, do not place
much faith in the New York dis.
patches. They point out the fact that
eastern rail executives stood out
firmly against any surrender at u
time when most of the western roads
were willing to make concessions.
They claimed their shops were filled
and that they had won the strike and
could see no reason for captivating
after they had given the strikers
every opportunity to return to work
Having won costly battle, the
eastern executives said they would
not deal with Jewell and the strikers.
They were willing to make places for
such of the men as desired to return
as individuals but would not take
them back as victorious strikers.
In view Of this attitude, it is re-
garded as doubtful il the eastern
executives made any important con
cessions. even assuming they met in
secret with Jewell. They may have
agreed to take back all men not
guilty of violence, but tnfs offer has
been open from the start.
