ports have been received by the White
House to the effect that even on rail-
roads with high percentage of shop
men at work, equipment is falling into
disrepair because. of inefficiency or lack
Of skill by the workers employed.
Failure of any of the roads will give
the President n leverage on the situ-

can be no doubt that the President Is
smarting under indirect reports of mis-
understanding of his settlement proposal
which impute lack OF understanding. He
has been studying the situation Tor
many weeks, but will be guarded In any
action taken.
The Presidents attitude can best be
expressed by the official statement
made to-day that the Government Is
always anxious for the welfare of the
American people, else the President
would not have volunteered to under
! take mediation to bring about settle
ment of these matters where the pup

Passengers.

The Cunard liner Berengaria arrived
last night from Southampton and
Cherbourg with many prominent
Americans. There were 1852 passen-
gers.
Steamship officials regarded the voy-
age as marking the turn of the tide
in foreign summer travel. Early in
the morning heavy fog had covered
the ship when she was near Nantucket
and she was somewhat delayed making
port.
At Quarantine there was noisy
welcome for John Kenlon, Fire Chief,
who returned with Mrs. Kenlon from
a European trip. The fireboat John
Purroy Mitchell, with Fire Department
officials, went down the bay, and Chief
Ken!on went aboard for a short time,
shaking hands, and receiving a noisy
greeting.
While the liner passed up the bay to
her berth at Pier 54 Fourteenth street
and Hudson River, fireboats accom-
panied her and whistles were blown
constantly in honor OF Chief sKenlon.

FAIL WITHOUT U. S,
American Isolation VIII Break
Genoa Economic Farley.
.Trotzky Declares All World
Peoples Must Take Active Part.

London, Jan. 19.-"If the United
States remains aloof from the world
economic conference at Genoa and
continues TO pursue an enigmatic
policy of isolation, the conference
must fail" declared Leon Trotsky,
comnlissar for war in the Russian n
soviet government, in an interview
printed by the Daily Herald today. 1t
had been telegraphed from Moscow.
Trotsky was quoted further as say
ing:
with America absent. the confer
ence can only be a rehearsal for an
other meeting of the similar nature
which must follow it if world equi-
Hbrium is restored.
But restoration of the equilibrium
of the world is a difficult task and
cannot be solved wholly by conference.
The only solution is hard work and
the cooperation of all peoples.
Russia and Germany will do every
thing possible to make the conference
a success. Poincare (the Frence pre-
mier) probably will be forced to at
tend. but frances attitude is not i'm
portant- The real important thing is
that the invitation to Russia and Ger
many to attend the meeting is really
revision of the Versailles treaty,
which provided ground for usurious
demands"

Note Left Indicated "TerribIe''
Tommy O'COnnOr Implicated.

Elkhart, Ind, Jan. 19.-Dan In
gram, aged %. negro truck man en-
ployed by the New York Central rail-
road, today confessed, according to
authorities, to stealing the mail pouch
here yesterday, said unofficially to
have contained 100000.
Ingram said. according to Police
Chief Northrop, that he and George
E. Scruggs, a white man, plotted TO
steal the bag and that Ingram placed
the mail truck at a certain place.
Scruggs then stole the pouch, accord
ing to Ingram. They agreed to split
the loot, Ingram said. but disclaimed
any knowledge of what Scruggs did
with the stolen property. Scruggs
has been arrested.
Skepticism existed over the note
signed Tommy O'Connor." which
was attached to the package of
bonds which was returned and police
were not entirely convinced that the
notorious Chicago bandit did not have
hand in the lootings of the mails.
Comparison of O'Connor's ilandwrit-
ing with that in which the note was
written strengthened the theory that
O'Connor may have committed the
crime, police said.
That the robber had knowledge of
the value of bonds is indicated by the
fact that those returned were nou-
negotiable. They were bonds of a
south American government with a
lace value of approximately 100000.

scale for the unions in the building
trades. it was revealed today.
Present wage agreements terminate
May i and at that time, construction
company officials stated, the Kansas
City Builders association would de-
lower wage scale and changed working
conditions. Whether the open shop
issue will be raised has not yet been
decided, it was said.
The employers last year demanded
a, 20 per cent reduction in wages, but
when the contracts were finally signed,
the reduction i'm wages amounted to
about per cent.
H. H. Anderson, secretary of the
Builders association, declared the
present wage scale is too high and
that several large building contracts
will be started Immediately after a
suitable reduction of wages is put into
effect. He pointed out that the pres
ent wage scale for building laborers
is 20 cents an hour when common la
borers in other lines, he said, could
be secured for as low as 80 cents an
hour.
Officers of the Building Trades
council, on the other hand. pointed
out that the present wage scale was
awarded by arbitration as a fair wage
agreement which they and the en-
ployers accepted and sta ted they were
