FRENCH PREMIER

Paris, June 12.-Premier Pom
care, in his note to the British gov
ernment, in reply to the recent Brit
ish memorandum, does not recede
an inch from the position taken In
his memorandum of June /, with
respect to The Hague conference.
He insists that il the powers come
to an agreement in advance ana
present a united front to the Rus
slams at The Hague and not per-
nit them to stray from the point
they can and will accept all re-
quired of them. AS proof of this
NJ. Poincare instances what they
have done for Italy in the treaty
just concluded.
The French document, although
lengthy and business like, is de-
void OF diplomatic circumstances
The tone is somwhat acid; disparg-
ing references to the Genoa CONFER
ence are frequent and there is what
appears to be an uncomplimentary
allusion to the bankers commls-
sion. When speaking of the ques-
ton of credits to Russia, the reply
refers to "the demands formulated
by prospective lenders with regard
TO certain countries whose pros
perity and economic future could
not be doubted.

MORE RAILROAD
MEN WILL HAVE
WAGES SLASHED
Clerks, Coal PasSers, Oilers
Water Tenders and 9th
ers Will Be Hit BY a Re-
duction Shortly.

Chicago, June 12 (by the Assoti-
lated Press. )-Wage reductions esti-
mated at not exceeding $40, 100000
for $4,000 additional railway eni-
ployes whose wages the carriers
seek to lower through the railroad
labor board, are expected to issue
from the board with a few days
Ito be effective July /. The new
decision will make a total of ap-
proximately s150,00O,000 20 be cut
from the annual pay rolls of the
roads.
The bulk of those whom the new
cut will hit are railway clerks who
number approximately 200,000
Their pay, it was said today, would
not be cut more than five cents al
hour, however, and certain chief
clerks and other supervisory cleri-
cal forces may not feel the order
lat all
About 5000 train dispatchers
generally considered as subordinate
officials, while coming under the
pending decision will not suffer any
reduction, according to authorize
tive information. Supervisory Off
cials in the shop crafts, whose pay
was recently slashed 100000, 1000,
likewise received no cuts.
Coal passers, oilers and water
tenders including in the general
classification of stationary en-
gineers and firemen, and freight
handlers and other common labor
included in the station employees
group, are expected to receive a re-
duction of approximately five cents
an hour, the same cut applied to
common labor in the maintenance
of way department.
The signal men and marine en-
ployes. numbering $1,000 and 500,
respectively, are expected to cane
under the reduction but no figures
were available to indicate the
amount of their cut.
Anticipating a reduction, how
ever, ID. w. Helt, president Of the
signal men, declared the board
would probably ham-string us"
that he could find no justi-
fication for the cut to present to
his men and that he expected them
to vote to strike as soon as decis-
ion was issued.
Il. Ii. Fitzgerald, president of the
clerks, likewise declared a further
cut was unreasonable and that his
organization would begin a strike
vote Immediately when the decision
Is announced in line with the agree
ment of the eleven organizations
effected by the cut TO take strike
votes. made at conference in Gin
linnati last week.

SOARING PRICES
Of B|TUM|N0US
COAL PREDICTED
(By The Associated Fress)

Chicago, June 12.-Increased BIZ
luminous production, which, ac-
cording to figures Of the United
States geological survey, published
today, reached approximately the
100000 ton mark, will have lit
tie effect on wholesale prices in
the immediate future, dealers here
asserted today. Leading wholesal-
ers, some distributing for the en-
tire middle west, estimated that
the normal weekly consumption
had reached between eight and
nine million tons with some large
users pressing for supplies.
Price increases in the near fu-
ture were predicted by some deal
srs, in spite Of the Hoover agree
n1ent with the operators whereby
maximum figures were established
for mine deliveries In an effort to
present profiteering and specula-
ton. Estimates of the above
ground supply now on hand, were
fixed by dealers here at about 40,-
10000 tons, of which 10000, 600
are in transit.
At the start of the coal strike,
April /, supplies were estimated at
between 50,000,00O and 60,00O,000
tons.
Increased activity In manufact-
uring centers. the entry of several
railroads into the market and Or
ders for supplies for great lakes
vessels and the northwest demand,
have transformed the customary
stagnant summer market into daily
competition among dealers for
shipments.

night other visiting Mobiles as they
arrived had paraded with their
bands, choruses and noisemaking
apparatus. During the day 80
Shriner bands took turns in giving
continual concert in Union
Square, across from the headquar-
ters of Imperial Potentate Cults.
The women who accompanied
the party from Albuquerque were
not overlooked by their San Fran
cisco hosts and hostesses. For the
women there were teas, shopping
excursions, trips to Chinatown, the
Cliff house and visits with the wo-
men of other delegations.
And, whisper it gently, 1t was
reported that even the Volstead act
had been forgotten.
The Ballut Mobiles and their la
dies have discovered one fact about
San Francisco. 1t is fast town,
particularly as concerns automo-
bile traffic. Taxicabs travel at 25
and 80 miles an hour. Everything
goes well, provided no one Is in
1ured. The members here OF Bal

day. like other organizations are
planning many impromptu activi-
ties to add to their drill and GER
tain specified duties or pleasures.
Secrecy, so far, is guarding these
plans.
