HAGUE SESSIONS
COME TO CLOSE

The Hague, July 20 (By the Asso-
citaed Press).-The United States
government figured in the closin
scene of The Hague conference which
today passed into history without ac-
compllshing its aim the reaching of
an economic accord with Soviet Rus.
sia M. Gather of Belgium made the
statement at the final session at the
peace palace that he was authorized
by the American charge d'affaires to
say that the American government
would adhere to the resolution which
had just been adopted, whereby the
governments engaged not to assist
any of their citizens in attempts to
acquire property in Russia which be-
longed to citizens of other countries
and was confiscated since November.
1917.
The United States, he added, had
no intention of departing from its
line of conduct with regard to prop
erty appropriated in Russia
The resolution itself gave rise to
some debate. France, through M.
Alphand, moved to amend the resolu-
ton so that the word belonged"
would become belongs" Frances
idea was that although the property
had been seized by the Bolsheviki, It
was legally left in the possession of
foreigners and that in the resolution
the use of the present tense of the
verb should clearly record this fact.
The amendment was rejected.
The Baltic states did not succeed
in their efforts to have set up some
machinery for possible continuance
of the work of The Hague. Believing
the Russian project for the recogni-
ton of debts and the right of COM
pensation for confscated property
was logical basis for an eventual
accord with Russia, the Baltic states
wanted to create some organization
for receiving the Moscow govern
ment's reply as to whether the new
est proposal of it's Hague delegates
was officially ratified
Through this organization the Meth
crlands government, for instance, it
was pointed out, could then transmit
the reply to all the other governments,
and, if favorable, it could serve as the
foundation for renewed negotiations,
and perhaps another conference.
The Baltic. delegates were firmly.
convinced of the necessity of losing
no opportunity to provide for the re-
generation Of Russia. They were in
duced, however, not to push their
point and the matter did not arise
at the closing session of the confer
ence which adjourned after the prop
erty resolution and series of reports
were adopted.

an agreement could be reached. Roads
of the Northwest are reported to have
been negotiating for = settlement in
that section for the past ten days and
the Southern railway was said today
to be pursuing a similar course.
B. M. Jewell, head Fof the shop
crafts, in past statements has main
tanned that any settlement must be
on a national basis, although he has
encouraged his general ehairmen to
confer with the carriers when the
roads requested such conferences. At
strike headquarters tonight it was
said that Mr.. Jewell might have o
statement tomorrow.
Eastern executives, meeting in New
York today issued statement reit-
Grating their contention that the
strike is aimed at the government and
not at the railroads. the executives
indicated that every effort would be
made to cooperate with the govern
ment.

WOULD REJECT
FORD'S OFFER

Washington, July 20.-Rejection OF
Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals
and enactment Of legislation for de.
felopment Of the war built projects
in Alabama by government owned
and government controlled corpora.
ton was recommended to the senate
today by Chairman Norris of the sn.
ate agriculture committee.
The agriculture committee chair.
mans views were set forth in a
voluminous report, different portions
of which were supported by various
members Of the committee. Senator's
Page Of Vermont. McNary of Oregon,
Keys of New Hampshire, Gooding of
Idaho, Nordeck of South Dakota, Har.
reid Of Oklahoma and Mckinley of
illinois (Republicans) and Kendrick
tDemocrat) of Wyoming, the report
stated, favored rejection of the Ford
offer along with Chairman Norris.
Senator's McNary, Nordeck, Mckinley
and Gooding, it was added, concurred
with the chairman in the recommended
tion for government development
along the lines detailed In the pend
ing Norris bill.
Others, the report said, subscribed
to the recommendation that the Ford
offer be rejected. Senator Kendrick
declared in the senate after submis-
sion Of the report, however, that he
would be glad to vote to approve
the offer of Henry Ford, provided a
modification is made of the time limit
Of the lease" The Ford offer provides
for a 100 year lease and Senator Ken
drick explained that he favored the
30 year maximum provided for such
leases in the federal water power act.
The report criticised the Ford Of
fer sharply describing it as "the most
wonderful real estate speculation
since Adam and Eve lost title to the
Garden of Eden," and inquiring "why
a warranty deed to the capitol at
Washington is not included in this
great transfer of governmental prop
erty to this wonderful corporation"
The plan embodied in the Norris
bill was as highly praised as the Ford
offer was criticised. 1t was described
as "the most wonderful plan for de-
yelopment of power on the Tennessee
river and its distribution over the
Southern states that has ever been
proposed in the history of our coun-
try" Its features were outlined in
detail and the prediction made that if
adopted 'it means the transformation
to a great extent of large portions
of the United States"
The report submitted today will he
followed by another from the COM
mittee next week, presented by Sena-
tor Ladd (Republican) of North Da-
kota and supported by those favoring
unconditional acceptance of the Ford
offer.

Protect Our Cemeteries

Last spring The Times had a good
bit to SAY about flower thieves and
the peculiar kind that robbed graves
Of 'fowers and urns and plants, and
now comes new grievance that is
almost as bad. Stray animals are al
lowed to wander in and about the
cemetery and Craze and trample down
the flowers and destroy the plants
The same people who broke up the
flower thieves will have to get after
the cows and stray animals and run
them out. The graves of our loved
ones should be protected and the
beautiful flowers must not be destroy
ed.

leading Eastern railroad executives

railroad strike at a suddenly arranged
conference of heads Of leading rail
roads and members, Of the senate in
terstate commerce committee here to-
night was understood to have failed.
Those attending the conference said
1t now appeared that a strike settle
nsent was much more distant and ex-
pressed pessinism over the: immediate
outlook, viewing the coal and railroad
strikes together.
The conference which was said to
have been>called on the initiative of
Senator Cummins, chairman of the
senate committee. was attended by T.
Dewitt Cuyler Of the Association OF
Railway Executives, L. F. Loree Of the

both members Of the senate interstate

points In dispute between the execu-
tives, who were called here more or
less secretly late today, and the union
were gone over in detail at the con-
ferenSe, together with the possibility
of legislation. to meet the situation.
1t was said that no legislation was
practicable to deal with the present
strike.
The rail executives, 1t was stated,
were insistent upon three points which
the unions are demanding as reces-
ston t0send 5rhe 1ilsn back 70 work,
These are the seniority rule, the res
toration of the pension status and the
question Of boards Of adjustment be-
tween the employers and employees.
At tonight's conference it was said
that the rail executives declared they
could not and would not yield to the
union demand for national board of
adjustment. They also were said to
be insistent upon refusing to restore
the status quo Of employees on strike
with respect to ttheir seniority and
pension rights. Ali of these have been
demanded by the union representa-
tives as the price for ordering the men
back to work pending a rehearing of
the question of wage scales.
