izinR new shopmen in such way that each system will have Its own union and will be able to negotiate separately with it's mon.
 Separate Peace
 Parleys for a separate peace, due tomorrow at Baltimore between rep rssentatives of the striking shop. men and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad attracted considerable at tantion in union circles, but strike leaders refused 70 make any com ment.
 The efforts of W. L. McMenimsn. labor member of the rail board. to- day prevented a further spread of the strike in a conference with W J. Noone. head of the station agents organization. Mir. Noone complained that the station agents were being CTS, but MT. McMenimen gave him such assurances that any grievances would be corrected that he afterward announced that the station agents would remain at work pending a con- ference with the labor beard.
 Outbreaks Few
 Comparatively few outbreaks due to the strike were reported during the day. but further cancellations of trains. said to be due mostly to the shortage of coal. were reported from various sections.
 S. M. Felton, president of the Chi cago Great Western railroad, to- night issued statement denyina that he had long distance teie- phone conversation with President Harding on Saturday in which the President had been reported as re- questing Mir. Felton to use his in- fluence to end the strike.

J. 5. DEBT FUNDING BOARD WILL MEET
Conference Thursday With French Official Looking to
 Funding French Debt
By Associated Press

Washington, July 24.-The Ameri- can foreign debt funding commission will meet Thursday with Jean ". Parmentier, director of finance of the French treasury. for the first of the formal negotiations looking to the funding of Frances war debt to this country.
 Practically comI .eted statements of the financial condition of France have been submitted by NJ. Parmen- tier. high officials said, which would be digested and ready for discus sion by the full commission Thurs day.
 No Specific Pinn.
 The French representative, 1t is understood, Is not prepared to offer any specific plan to the American commission for the funding of the debt, but is following a policy of ac- quainting this government with the situation in France to enable the American commission to determine what might be expected in the way of payment.
 The view has been advanced here officially that further deferment of interest payment by France is to be expected. While the minimum in- terest rate on the foreign debt, when funded. was fixed at 1-z per cent by congress. the French are understood to incline toward the view that tho general rate of inter est prevailing in the international market should be taken cognizance of in fixing the rate for the French debt

July H. 1DZ1, or the Alabama pub lie service commission would result in A loss in revenue to petitioners greatly in excess of Si,00o,O00 per annum and would deprive them of revenue to which they are justly and lawfully entitled.
 Go Before I. c. c.
 Petitioners desire to have the validity of said order of the Ala bama public service commission ds- termined by the interstate commerce commission, as provided in the inter- state commerce act by the prosecu- ton of proceeding as authorized in section 13 of that act.
 Petitioners hereby request the Alabama public service commiss.on to cooperate with them in securing tho prompt consideration and deter. imitation of such a proceeding by the interstate commerce commission and to postpone, pending such final de- termination of the proceedings by tho Interstate commerce commission, the effective date of the Alabama public service commissions order of July II, 1922.
 Tn support of their request here- in, petitioners represent and show unto the commission that the ques- tion herein issue, which Is of such great importance not only to the pe- titioners but to the people cf the state of Alabama, can be determined more expeditiously and with less ex- pense by the cooperative proceed ing before the interstate commerce commission herein suggested than can be dong in any other proceeding. Keeping in mind the tremendous ex- pense incurred not only by the rail- roads but the state of Alabama and its tax payers in the passenger rate litigation of some years ago and which extended for many years, 1t is the earnest desiTe of petitioners not only to avoid such expense to them selves but to avoid incurring such expense by ehe tax payers of tho state of Alabama In this case, fur ther realizing that any and all ex- pense incurred not only by petition CTS but by the state must ultimate ly be borne by the public"
 Mobile Gas Reduction
 Finding that the total valuation of the property of the Mobile Gas company for rate making purposes should be sf,7o0,o0o instead of $1.- e69,B65, which was established as a tentative valuation several months
 
 issued an order late Monday after noon requiring tho Mobile Gas com pany to make a reduction in the gas rate to citizens of Mobile of 20 cents a thousand feet. The normal rate must be reduced from S1.S0 a thou sand feet to $1.6o.
 The new rates must become effec- tive August 1. The decision of the commission which now becomes final was made after an investigation which has continued for more than one year.
 The commissions tentative valua- tion was made February 14. The Mobile Gas company immediately filed an application for rchearing, but on the date for the rehraring the application was withdrawn. The city of Mobile then filed an applica- tion for rehearing. which was grant, ed. The public service commission sent its engineer to Chicago. where records of the company were kept and he obtained information which resulted in tho reduction in the valu- ation.

LENR0OT WOULD CUT AD VAL L0REM

ducers and at the same time criti- cize as too liberal, the provision of the transportation act under which the interstate commerce commission Is directed to fix railroad rates that would bring the carriers a re- turn of per cent on their in- vestment.
 Senator Gooding of Idaho, chair man of the republican agricultural bloc and author of the raw wool amendment in the bill, declared that if the government would "guaran- tee" the wool producers per cent. they would be satisfied.
 watered Stock Charge
 A charge that the railroads were getting returns on "watered" stock was made by Mir. Gooding who said that If there was any "watered" stock on the farm. he had never heard of 1t.
 Senator Stanley. democrat, of Ken lucky. remarked that of course "tbere was watered stock on the railroads" and also there was wat cred stock" on the farms.
 Mir. Mccumber disputed the con- tention that the duties proposed would result In an increase in the price of clothing. He called atten- ton that the present duty Is 4s cents a pound and said that since that came into operation. the price of certain cloths had been reduced by 50 per cent. He expressed the opinion that further reductions would be made.
 Tilts Develop
 Before returning to It's fight over wool, the Senate would send up its work on committee amendments in the flax, jute and hemp schedules. Two controversies developed. demo- crats vigorously opposing the rates proposed on jute bagging for cot ton and on cotton floor coverings. Senator Robinson, democrat. Ar kansas. sought to have the rates re- duced from 6-10 cent and 3-i0 cents a square yard to 1-1o and 1-2o cents. respectively, but this amendment was rejected 35 to IS and the origin al rates approved S1 to IT.
 By a vote of 34 to IS. the Senate rejected aa amendment by the same senator to cut from per cent ad vaiorem to 20 per cent, the pro- posed duty on cotton floor covering.
