 FOR WAGE NEGOTIATIONS

Boston, July o.-Representatives of the members of the United Brotherhood of Maintenance Of Way Employes and Railway Shop Laborers employed on rail- roads In New England and eastern New York. at a meeting here today voted to accept the recommendations of c. M. Planten. grand vice president, that ap- uezis be made to the respective road arrangements to reopen wage negotia- lions.

Delaware and Hudson; Maine Central: Bangor and Aro0stook: Central Vermont Rutisnd Ulster and Deia- ware; St. Johnsbury and Lake Champ ain: Barre and Chelsea; Montpelier and Walls River: and Woodstock.
 The present agreements contain a clause calling for 30-day notice when sithsr the employees or the railroad man. lrements wish 10 negotiate change in wages. The men wiz ask the roads to valve their rights under this clause and ln the event of a failure to agree indi- vidually on a new wage scale they will appeal 10 the railroad labor board for a re-adjustment.
 Vice President Planten said after the conference that fl the roads should re- fuse to waive th.s s0-day clause it would prove that they did not wish to keep pezce. with the result that the strike or der held in zbeyance at the request of the railroad labor board would be put in- 10 effect. Mir. Plsnten was one of the grand lodge officers who attended the conference with the labor board on July fth st Chicago.

Washington, July 10.-President Hard ing today placed before the leaders of em- ployers and employees of the anthracite and unionized bituminous mine fields a government plan for settling the coal strike. It called for immediate resumption of work by miners now out at wage rates of March 31. for fixing permanent wage levels by arbitration, and for an investi- gation to recommend solution of perma- nent problems in the coal industry.
 All representatives of the groups con- cerned had tonight delayed definite an- swers to the proposal, although union of fcials informed the president they had no power to give acceptance or refusal, but would summon the general policy commit tee of the United Mine Workers of Amer lea here Saturday to consider the mat ter.
 House and at other offices with Secretaries Hoover. Fall and Davis and Attorney General Daugherty participating, was taken to bring matters to this stage.
 Alfred M Ogle, chairman of the bitum- inous. operators group. indicated that his associates considered an arbitration plan they had offered last week for district settlements ''the best and fairest way'' to get the mines open. but John L. Lewis, president of the union, classed this "as obsolete in the light of the president s proposals" Anthracite operators al- though their committee was three times at the White House. maintained silence.

HAGUE CONFERENCE
 DIFFICULTIES CLEARING

The Hague, July 10-(8y The A. P.1 The stock of the Russian conference was pretty low before today's meeting, on the strength of rumors, which no body could trace, that the conference was certain to collapse at today's ses- sion, but. far from breaking up. the delegates had what they later termed a .'successful and constructive meeting" ,"
 Leonfd Krassin, the soviet economic expert. continuing in his he.pful atti- tude, gave such frank answers to the powers' questions concerning the use Of credits that even the French representa- tive, who was alleged to be ready to withdraw from the conference arose and warmly thanked M. lrassin for the clear and logical nature of his expo sition.'
 The fact that today's session lasted five hours and then temporarily adjourn ed to permit the English and French de- egates to dispatch telegrams to London and Paris gave wings to the earlier pes simistic reports.
 Today's successful session does not, however, eliminate all of the dangers confronting the conference, which are founded on the soviet delegates attitude on confscation of foreign property, and not on credits, which was the subject of today's discussion. Nevertheless, to- days meeting undoubtedly helped to clear the air.
 M. Krassin's statement was in answer to 3. series of questions put by the European experts concerning credits TOT transport and agriculture. He explain ed that Russia wanted credits to repair such railroads as would take care of about half of the transport carried on before the war. In general, he said, Russia was not prepared to accord con sessions for existing railways but was ready to grant concessions for the con struction of new lines. but trunk lines must remain in the hands of the gov- ernment.
 For agricultural purposes. the govern ment was ready. he said. to grant con sessions aggregating 100000 hectares It was already in negotiation with for 1 eign companies and some four agree ments were practically completed, one for 100 900 hectars. The duration of the lconcessions, he said would be twenty 1 five years and the land which it was pro- posed to concede was fertile and near the coast, so as to make transport by sea easy.
 With regard to foreign trade. M. .Kras; sin declared that for the present he could not admit the resumption of abso- | lute free trade with foreign countries | as he was bounu 10 pfotect HIS couhei which is suffering from deprectated ex change. This did not mean that tht
 state must control absolutely all foreigI
 credits, he continued They had cen
 tralzed the system of purchases In for eign countries, thereby gaining in price and quality, and they had adopted th'
 method of standardization forlthe sales Q
 exports. He could not change this sys tenn until the relations with foreigl
 countries became normal. but meantime
 ther& was nothing to prevent foreisi capital from participating in mixed so cities representing Russia abroad.
