SHOPCRAFTS
SEND OUT
STRIKE BALLOTS

Chicago, April 22.-The railway EN-
ployes' department of the American
Federal Labor board (shop-crafts en-
ployes) voted at its biennial conven-
tiOn to send out strike ballots to its
100000 members. The question in
vClved is the farming out of repair
work by the railroads. b. NJ. Jewell
president of the railway employees de-
partment said: IF there is a strike
and | feel sure our men will vote
soldly for it, il will be in protest of
the action of railways in ignoring de-
cisions of the United States Labor
Board.
Complaints of the railway employees
in connection with the farming-out
system are now pending before the
railroad labor board. A decision is
expected next month after the con
clusion of the present wage hearings
There are now several thousand men
on strike on the Western Maryland
Railway against the farming out OF
maintenance work.
Mr.. Jewell declared that the pre-
else wording of the strike ballots is
yet to be determined. The question.
he said, is simple-whether to strike
or not to strike The ballots probably
will be sent out within a short time
and the result should be known with
in sixty days, Mr.. Jewell added.
Chicago, April 22.-The vote to send
out the ballots was taken yesterday
and officers declared that it was a
counter move to IAN effort to crush
our organization completely"
The carriers have arbitrarily re-
duced wages in defiance of the board"
said Mr. Jewell. "They have restored
the piece work system and resOrted
to the farming-out system which is
mere subterfuge by which they dodge
labor board decisions.
"a year ago our membership was
overwhelmingly in favor of war in
protest against the IL per cent reduc-
tion already then announced and CIV
en- effect last July. When the date
came, however, he favored peace be-
cause of assurances given by the la
Dor board that no further wage re-
ductions would be considered for some
time.
Mr.. Jewell charged that roads are
''dodging the boards rulings" by let
ting out shops to contractors who are
not technically within the jurisdiction
of the labor board.
"The carriers have been getting
away with it thus far" said Mr..
lou 70 RvI Aaaf
whether they can continue to do so.
"The board, it must be remembered,
has no real power to enforce its de-
cisions. 1t must rely solely upon the
influence of public opinion"
There has been a strike for some
time on the Western Maryland rail
way against the farming out Of main
tenance of way work.

Genoa, April 22.-Hope that world
conference with the United States

Genoa meeting was expressed by the
German Chancellor DR.. Wirth at a
meeting of Germans last night.
The Genoa conference itself is a
step forward in the reconstruction of
the world. he said, but this could not
be completed without the United
States.
Genoa. April 2.2-(By the Associa-
ted Press 1.-THE French delegation
to the economic conference has sub.
mitted a protest against the German
reply to the Allied note in which the
Germans stated they would refrain
from discussing Russian questions
settled in the Russo-German treaty.
The French contend that the Germans
under their reply may insist upon set

The heated politics surrounding the

the main the Allied formula stating
the terms on which the Great Powers
are willing to resume business rela-
tions with Russia
Sir Edward Gl'igg. private secretary
to the British prime minister and 9th

made it clear that no proposition has
been put forward for government
loans to Russia. nor government guar

nancial and economic experts is that,
when Russia reache.; Il position where
she can give investors assurance that
there will he legal basis for undcrtak-
ineS in Russia and that foreigners will

The single important point Of differ

Allied representatives is the unwill-
mgnesi of the former to restore the
freehold title of foreigners properly
which has been natiunaliZed or requi-
siticned by Russia, although they are
willing to restore it to the former
owners for their use.
