.SHANTUNG I|E-UP AND STORM BLOCK
 WORK OF FARLEY
Delegates Await Effect of Harding's Move-lndlca- ti0ns Point to Decision
 Early This Week
By Associated Press

Washington, January zo.-lhe Shantung tie-up and the blizzard that paralyzed traffic and communica- tion in Washington combined to block the progress of the arms conference today, but the delay did not dim prevailing confidence that all the conference issues soon would be car ried forward to solution.
 So far as Shantung was concerned 1t was wholly day of waiting fol the mediatory effect of President Hard ing to have it's effect at Picking and Tokio. All indications pointed to a decision early next week and all the delegates appeared confident that the decision would be for settlement along the lines of the compromise supported by the President.
 Both of the meetings planned for today by subdivisions of the confer ence were cancelled because of the storm. One of these meetings was to have brought the Japanese and Chi nese delegations together to begin drafting shantung treaty and the other was proposed session of the subcommittee considering the Chinese eastern railway.
 Railroad Issue
 The postponed Japanese-Chinese meeting. 1t was explained, had noth- ing to do with the Tsingtao- -Tsinanfu railroad issue over which the shan tung negotiations are deadlocked, but merely was to have put into treaty language the agreements already reached on collateral subjects. It was said this work could be delayed until Monday without delaying the final wind-uprof the negotiations, since ex- perts of both groups were busy on their own account getting the treaty text into shape.
 In the Chinese eastern railway dis cussions, which are part of the far eastern committed negotiations, diff ferences of view have developed which in any case seem likely to de-. lay a decision for several days while the various powers fully determine their respective attitudes The Chinese have objected to the plan for international financing for the road, Wofhcu out py d SFoup oi eApeIlS, anu also to the proposal for policing the line with Japanese guards.
 Chinese Eastern Problem
 It was said tonight that the Chinese eastern problem might become one of the most difficult of the lesser issues of the conference, because of the sit- uation of the road. partly in Siberian and party in Chinese territory. The | present system of administration by an interallied board seems certain to be perpetuated, but the financing and policing policies are far from settle ment

UNEMPLOYED MEN
 ARE GIVEN JOBS

New York, January 28.-Unem- ployed men who wanted jobs could get them tonight sweeping snow from the pavements of New York, covered with white layer by & swirling storm that darkened the city from noon onward.
 The 1000 men in the street clean ing department were immediately called out to operate scores or trac- tors.
 The storm did not como up to ex- pectations here, after all the advance notice 1t received, but there was enough snow to delay traffic both in the harbor and on the street. and those who left town for the week end doubted if they would get back on time. The weather bureau said there might be five to eight inches by morning,
 Health Commissioner Copeland was particularly worried. He said he feared the change would increase the spread of influenza and pneumonia. and he warned the public to keep it's feet dry. There is no use telling New Workers to keep out of crowds. he said. for the only way to do that here is to stay at home, and one Is sure to lose fresh air and likely to lose his job by staying home.
