Morning Session Bresks Up Amid Ccesssss;s 5sss: fusion and czs::;:s s:sS.;s l. Thought Inevitable
Chief Bone of Contention Is Foreign Property That Has Been Nationalized in Russia.

The Hague. July 12. (By Associat- ed Press)-The morning session of the conference on Russian affairs which was devoted to consideration of private property question broke up amid considerable confusion, many of the delegates declaring the Russian replies meant that the collapse of The Hague conference was inevitable. No decision as to this, however, had been taken up to o'clock this af- ternoon.
 A meeting of the commission on debts was arranged for later in the afternoon
 Discussion Seems Useless.
 Sir Philip Lloyd Greame, president of the commission on property which was the body sitting today, announc- ed in the conference at p. m. that further discussion seemed useless and brought the conference to a sudden close after two hours of debate in which delegates consistently tried to get Maxim Litvinoff and his associ- ates to answer questions regarded as essential to have cleared up.
 These related to the plans for the restoration of foreign property confls- cated by the soviet regime.
 The chief bone of contention was the foreign property that had been in Russia.
 Sir Philip found the replies of the Russians unsatisfactory because they declined to make any promises con- corning compensation.

 EARATHAM, ACCORDING
 HEAD OFLABOR BOARD
GOVT. IS EXPECTED TO 7 BACK UP ITS WARNING Strong Action Contemplated if Harding's Proclama-
 ti0n Is Ignored

Washington, July 12-Though President Hardings proclamation di- recttng all persons to refrain from all interference with lawful efforts to maintain interstate transportation and carrying Of the United States malls" stood today as the governments last word In the railway shopmen's strike, indications came from several quarters that should the proclamation be not needed, strong action was contem- plated.
 The presidential proclamation is- sued late last night after the presi- dent and his cabinet advisers had spent the day studying the trouble in the industrial state of the nation was generally interpreted as a warning to striking shopmen and railroads that the mails must move and interstate commerce be maintained Such an interpretation had as its basis the pro- clamation of somewhat similar nature issued by the president last August when the mine war was in progress in the West Virginia coal fields.

 Grace But Doesn't Vote For Him.

were divided In their opinions and a tie vote was not improbable. For several weeks hot campaign in favor Of Sergeants Hart and George J. Kelly and also Captain Thomas Grace has been waged and 1t had been predicted that Commissioner Ed win A. Parker was a staunch packer of Sergeant Kelly
 This prediction had been based on Commissioner Parker's reported re- marks in which he was said to favor Sergeant Kelly when the commission CTS ruled that Captain Grace was in- eligible for promotion because of a supposed physical disability.
 Parker Dumps Capt. Grace.
 This added to the mental tangle last night when Commissioner Parker nominated Captain Grace for chief, Commissioner Lang nominated Ser geant George Kelly and Commission CT Thomas Jackson nominated Ser geant Hart. When the votes were counted Sergeant Hart had three and Sergeant Kelly one, making 1t ap- pear eNlCeHl lHdt NHdiFHldH luHH ana Commissioner Jackson had supported Sergeant Hart, that Commissioner Lange had voted for the man he had nominated and Commissioner Park CT had side tracked his nominee and voted for Hart.
 Lange Stands His Ground.
 Of course there is much gossip and speculation as to whether the board had previously agreed on its slate, but to the credit of Commissioner Lange it must be stated that he stood his ground.
 Commissioner Lange had been cred ited with being a Kelly man, and he showed his true mettle in nominating the man of his reported choice last night Commissioner Jackson was one of those officials reported on the

Ignore White House Warning

New York July 12.-PreEdent Harding's proclamation on the rail shop crafts strike resulted today in ! published declaration by the strike conduct committee of the eastern railroads that they would continue on strike until satisfactory settle ment is reached even If every mail train in the district Is cancelled"
 The declaration issued by John J. Dowd, chairman of the workers com- mittee said
 The shop crafts strikers in the metropolitan district will of course, obey the letter the presidents procla- nation. We believe, however, that the precise meaning of the document should be more clearly defined. To this end we have adopted the follow ing interpretation of the proclamation upon which we base our policy for this district;
 The president mentioned our fn- disputable right to decline to work We believe this right is superior to any presidential proclamation. We assume therefore, that the president did not intend in other parts of the 0OcuInenI lO lllputS hlcBdillS to o0i refusal to work. even If mail trains should be annulled as direct result of such refusal.
 The shop workers Tn the port of New York area will continue on strike until satisfactory settlement is reached even if every mail train in the district is cancelled. On the other hand acts of violence or the physical interference with the movement of trains will not be tolerated by this committee. AS a matter of fact the absence of acts of this kind in the New York district is the one sensa- tional feature of this strike which has not appeared in the newspaper head lines Insofar as President Harding refers to such acts, we heartily con- cur. The proclamation was unneces- sary as far as we are concerned"

ent For Inauguration of System.
 The two platoon committee recently appointed by Mayor A. M. Paonessa will hold It's first meeting Friday eve. ming and will undertake the drafting of double platoon system for the fire department, meanwhile deciding upon ways and means of raising the funds necessary to put the new sys- tenn into effect.
 Funds were appropriated for this purpose last year and were not used, and the impression has been general that there is a two platoon fund from which money can now be drawn. The money has reverted back to the city treasury, however, this action be- ing in accordance with a charter pro- vision that states all moneys, except ing special appropriations and a few other accounts named in the provi- sion, shall go into the general fund at the close of each fiscal year.
 In view of the probability of spe- cial taxes being needed IS conditions now stand, it is believed that the ad- ministration will oppose the piling up of additional taxes for next year. Ap- p-oXimately s90,000 will be needed for the salary account this year be- cause of the city meeting board s 10 percent. cuts which failed of rat ification in the common council.
