GERMANY ACCEPTS
M0RATOR|UMPLAN
Conditions Demanded by Al
lied Committee Heavy Load,
Chancellor Wirth Says.
PIN HOPE ON PREPARATION
Germans Trust Forthcoming De-
cision Will Be Defnite-Coal
Demands Are Modified.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
PARIS, July 22.-Germany has form
ally accepted the demands Of the allied
committee on guarantees. which were
presented at Berlin last Tuesday.
In a letter to the rcparations commits
sion received today Chancellor Wirth
stated that Germany. after profound de-
liberation, had decided to accept the con-
ditions for the duration of the mora
torium, which the German government
assumed would soon be granted.
The conditions. the letter points out,
place heavy load upon the German
government and their acceptance is
only agreed to by the government and
the parliament\on the theory that the
forthcoming decision on the reparation
question will constitute definite set
tlement of the chief financial questions
which have been the subject of negotia-
tees and the German government.
The German chancellor in his let
ter says it must be understood that
the conditions laid down by the COM
mittee, and any additional conditions
which may be imposed in connection
with a moratorium, must not in any
way challenge the sovereignty Of the
German state nor interfere with the
normal functioning of the govern
ment.
DR.. Wirth also insists that the for
tunes of individuals and their busi-
ness organizations must remain Sc
cret.
Conversations Are Begun.
Unofficial conversations have be-
gun in reparations commission cir
cles on the question of a moratorium
for Germany now that the contents
of the report Of the committee on
guarantees have become substantially
known.
The report of the committee on
guarantees will probably be pre-
sented to the reparations commission
on Monday or Tuesday. It is ex-
mainder. Of the week in considering g
it. 1t is said that rigid financial
control over the German finances
would be insisted upon by the COM
mission as a first condition of any
tonl Demands Reduced.
The commission announced in an
official communication last evening
that with a view to granting further
relief to- Germany 1t has been decided
that Germany shUpld deliver to the
allies only 1.725,000 tons of coal and
coke during the period from August
to October. inclusive, The former
schedule of deliveries called for $3.50.
600 tons per quarter. r
The decision provides that should
the total production of coal and coke
in Germany during that period be
greater than s,S5o,0oo tons. 20 per
cent of the surplus should go to the
allies.
The commission has approved in
principle the request of tho Austrian
government for the release Of GER
tain state revenues to be used as col
lateral for the foundation of a bank
of issue and for a foreign loan.

President Harding's decision to send
for Chairman Ben w. Hooper of the
United States Railway Labor Board
may be the forerunner Of q change
in location of the headquarters Of the
board itself, which hitherto has been
fixed at Chicago by law.
So close is the relationship between
many activities of the federal gov
ernment in the National Capital and
the work of the Labor Board that, en-
tirely apart from the numerous prob
lens which have arisen to complicate
the railroad strike situation, the
President is convinced that the in
terests Of everybody would be better
served If the board moved to Wash
infton. Mr.. Harding is considering
request that Congress amend the
transportation act to permit the
change.
For many weeks Mr.. Harding has
been trying to keep in touch with the
distance telephone. But he lacks in
formation as to intimate phases of
the negotiations between rail execu-
tives and labor leaders. which cannot
be gotten except by personal contact.
The atmosphere. so to speak. Is miss
processes of industrial negotiation
from a thousand-mile distance.
Some Mistakes Made.
The Labor Board has made some
mistakes probably its members
would be the first to admit 1t. There
are those in the government who
claim that these mistakes would not
have happened il the board had been
located inv Washington and had the
heneflt Of the counsel and facts which
various departments of the govern
meat could give. y

which arose after the rail strike was
called the Labor Board, in the opinion
Of it's critics, put itself on record too
rapidly and made 1t difficult for the
railroads to recede on this point. It
IL asserted that the railroads have in
the past used the threat of forfeiture
of seniority rights only in an extreme
emergency and have constantly post
poned putting it into effect to give
time for reconciliation.
Mr.. Harding and Mr.. Hooper find
themselves compelled now to arrange
some way out of the present difficulty
on seniority rights. They might have
accomplished this many days ago IL
they could have sat down face to face
and talked 1t out. The President feels
