GREAT STRIDE
FORWARD At
GENOA MEET
Treaty
Eliminated from the
Controversy Rus
ia Sends Reply

Genoa, April 2l-The economic
conference today made 4 great
stride forward. The elimination OF
the Russo-Gcrnlan treaty from the
controversy, and Soviet Russia'.i
provisional acceptance OF the a
lied conditions concerning foreign
debts and confiscated property OF
foreigners, produced Il very def
mite hope that the greatest congress
European statesmen eyer held will
accomplish something real and
tangible for the reconstruction OF
Europe, including Russia.
The demands Of the powers
which have been accepted include
the waving by Russia of her coun-
ter claims, baSed on military in.
tervention; recognition of war
debts to the governments. with the
understanding that they Viii be
considerably scaled down: recog-
milton Of debts and financial obli-
cations due TO foreign nationals
and the right Of foreigners to have
coniiscaIed property returned, 10
them or TO be given proper COM
pcnsation for it.
The conciliaJory nature OF the
answer of the Soviet government
contributed to The optimism that
the Bolsheviki seek arrangement

into the comfy Of nations. The
clear and brief demands Of the. al
lies, which afford concrete basis
for discussion, arc compared here
by the observers to the concrete
American proposals for naval lim-
itation which was introduced at
the outset of the Washington con-
ference and which aare the dele
gates to the Washington confer
ence gathering an opportunity TO
concentrate discussion on some
thing tangible and constructive.
The insistence OF The soviet on

COAL STRIKE over
IN SEVEN STATES
Orders Sent to Mine Foremen to
Prepare for Re-
opening.

Cleveland-Both operators and mi.
ners ratified an agreement to bring
part settlement of the coal strike. For
NAL signing of the agreement went
over until joint conference later.
The operators decision was reached
at their caucus and meanwhile the
unions policy committee was in ses-
sion to pass on the tentative scale
agreement. A sharp division was said
to exist in the miners committee but
the majority seemed to favor accept
ance.
Fundamental change in the unions
system of collective bargaining was
brought about by the scale drafted
here. The retention of the central
competitive field comprising Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illi-
nois, as. the basis for negotiating a
contract was lost and in its place a
reorganization conference representing
scattered mines in six states was set
up.
This change was the main loss Of
the union miners original demands.
Their demand approved in convention
for a six-hour day, five-day week was
never pressed. The principal demand
that they gained was that of any re-
duction of wages.
All details of the scale were APPROX
ed in principle by both sides before
the drafting of tentative understand
ing, which was described by both sides
as the entering wedge in the soft coal
strike that began 20 weeks ago.
at is all matter of procedure"
said President John l.. Lewis in re-
ferring to the delaying of actual ratifi-
cation.
1.-THE strike is now over" said Jo-
seph Pursglove, an operator who
served on the subcommittee.
In brief the settlement provides that
the miners shall be returned to work
at the same scale of wages that were
in effect when they went on strike.

U. S. WILL PROTECT TRAINS
President Described by Adviser as
"Havirs His Back Up"

Washington = President Harding
having abandoned all efforts at emdia-
ton Of the rail strike, was declared by
his advisers to have virtually decided
to inform the railroad executives of
the country that in the operations Of
trains they will be, given the full pro-
lection and aid of the government.
The president, it was stated, was de-
termined that the only course the gov
eminent now could pursue was the
path it followed in the coal strike-ex-
tension of an invitation to the employ
ers to operate their properties and the
federal government with the co-opera-
ton of the states would stand behind
them in their efforts so far as they are
directed to the serving of the public.
President Harding will place the rail
strike situation before congress and
before the country within 4S hours,
it was officially announced at the
White House.
The president was described by one
of his advertisers as "having his back
up" and fully convinced that nothing
further could be done through negotia-
ton.
