manlan and japanese delegates
because Roumania was occupying
Bessarabia, and Japan was oc-
cupying portions of Siberia. Pre-
mier Facta of Italy, declined to
consider the Russian protest, Civ
ing as his reason that all the coun-
ties invited to the conference had
right to be represented on it's
committees.
GENOA, April I'm. Chicerin,
head of the soviet delegation from
Russia to the economic conference
issued statement today declaring
that it would be futile to hold
conference without discussing the
question of armaments. The am
elioration of present conditions is
imperative, he declared, while the
lmperlallStic countries continue
their vast expeditures for the
maintenance of their large armies.
The admission of the Russian
and German representatives to
the principal committees of the
economic conference was strongly
opposed today by both the French
and Belgian representatives. Pre-
mier Lloyd George, Premier Facta
of Italy and Foreign Minister
Schwanzer of Italy interviewed,
and their contentious finally re-
suited in the admission of both the
Russian and German delegates.
The opposition to the presence
of the delegates from the ! two
countries was the outgrowth of
the Franco-Russian incident at the
opening of the conference. M.
Barthou, representing France, and
the Belgian representative, were
opposed to the German and Rus
sian representative being ad-
mitted, while the representatives
of the smalled countries which
fought with the Allies we're cx-
cluded. 10
Messrs. Lloyd George, Facta
and SchwanZer maintained it
would be impossible not to permit
the Russian and German repre-
sentatives to be represented on
the committees of a conference
which was called chiefly to con-
slider the problems affecting Rus
sia and Germany. They argued
that all the members were in
agreement that the cooperation of
Russia and Germany was indis-
pensable to the reconstruction of
Europe.
The discussion became so heat
ed that Premier Lloyd d-George de-
clared that if such a spirit was
going to prevail it might be as
well to Immediately dissolve the
conference, the principal object of
whicn was to admit Russia and
Germany to the European family.

NO EPIDEMICS
DURING MONTH :
OF MARCH
Northern Vt. Remarkably
Free from Contagious
Diseases

Contagious diseases have very
little hold upon Vermont at the
present time, according to reports
from DR.. C. F. Dalton, of Bur-
lington, secretary of the State
Board of Health. This condition
is verified by the reports for the
month of March from DR.. V. P.
Genge of st. Johnsbury, district
health officer for north eastern
Vermont.
Dr.. Genge's district includes
all of Caledonia county, except
the towns of Hardwick, Ryegate,
and Stannard, all of Essex county
and all of Orleans county, except
the City and town of Newport,
and to keep track of this territory
is work enough to keep him on the
move most of the time.
DR.. Dalton's report for the
month shows that the epidemic of
scarlet fever which was in evi-
dence in various parts of the state
during the months of January and
February is subsiding. The lowest
number of cases was reported for
March for three months. The
only cases in this district were
one in Brighton, one in Danville,
three in Kirby and five in Lyndon.
There was one case of mumps
reported in Sutton
Sample cases of measles were
reported, one each, in Charleston,
Burke, Barton, st Johnsbury and
Ferdinand. This last was the first
case of a contagious disease ever
reported from this Essex county
town.
Whooping cough came near be-
ing epidemic in Lyndon where II
cases were reported. There we1e
three in st. Johnsbury, two in
Sheffield, two in Burke, two in
Peacham, and one each in Bright
ton and Barton.
DR.. Genge says st. Johnsbury
and in fact all of this district has
been remarkably free from COM
municable, contagious diseases
this spring and is to be congratu-
lated on its escape from any such
troubles. He hopes that the re-
port for the present month, which
will be made the first of May will
make an equally good showing.

WAGE SCHEDULE FOR
THE SHOE WORKERS

LYNN, Mass, April 1.-The
Shoe Manufacturers association
replying to the United Shoe
Workers central rate committee
compromise offer to submit to a
Is per cent wage cut, said that
the wage reduction would not be
sufficient to sustain the industry
which was now carrying a load of
highly paid and unskilled opera
tives. The rate committee had sug
geStcd a Is per cent cut instead of
one of 20 per cent proposed by
the manufacturers, the new agree
mcnt to run until June l, 1928, on
a basis of 45 hours a week. The
manufacturers insist that a 80
hour week is necessary to enable
them to cut down their overhead
costs proportionately.

CHARGES NEGLECT TO
PROSECUTE CASES

WASHINGTON, April Ire
preventative Woodruff, Republican
of Michigan, said in the House to-
day that if the attorney-general
"did not fully look to the interests
of the government in pending
claim suit against the Lincoln
Motor Company he would "conSid-
er him guilty of misfeasance and
move for his impeachment" Mr..
Woodruff's charge was made in
the course of an extended speech
in which he charged that the de-
partment of justice had failed to
prOcede in civil and criminal courts
against a number of war contrac-
tors in testimony brought out be-
fore Congress investigating COM
mittees.
At the same time the Michigan
representative introduced a resol-
ution for the appointment of a
committee to investigate all war
contracts made by the war and
navy departments and the alien
property custodian, the settlement
of such contracts, "and civil and
criminal prosecutions or lack of
prosecutions of claims of the gov
ernment arising out of such con-
tracts or the settlement thereof"
