F rance to Take Part
in Hague Conference

Paris, June 19.-(By A. P.)-
France will take part in the confer
ence at The Hague with the Russian
delegates, beginning June 20, it was
officially announced at the foreign
office this morning. If political ques-
tions are introduced, however, the
French delegation will promptly
withdraw.
The French government, it was
explained, has reached its decision to
participate with the Russians at The
Hague, without waiting for further
developments in the preliminary meet
ings there, in order to eliminate the
possibility that further delay might
be interpreted as obstructive tactics.
The French delegates, however,
have received strict instructions to
adhere to the French policy as out
lined at Genoa and to leave the con-
ference at once upon the entrance Of
political questions.
They will stick closely, it is stated,
to the French contention that the So
Wet authorities must recognize the
principle OF respecting foreign
owned private property and the pay
ment OF foreign debts.

into phases OF the readjustment

relation TO transportation costs and
to industry aud production in gen

it may find its text in a paragraph
from the wage reduction order
dealing with the business revival
now in progress and the manner i'll
which transportation dovetails into
it all. 1t reads:
That the carriers shall have a
fair opportunity TO profit by the re-
vival of business in order that they
may expand their facilities is abso-
lutely Indispensable to their efficient
service to the American public. This
must not be construed to mean that
the employees should be called upon
to bear the cost OF railway rehabili-
tation. improved service and re-
duced rates. 1t means every citi-
zen. including railway employees,
should bear and forbear until the
carriers are back on their feet.
Stress Strike Losses.
The argument will be stressed
that a strike would not only result
i'll losses to the rail workers and to
the carriers. but would likewise re-
tard business recovery. Incidentally,
some members pointed out today, 1t
also would defer the scientific ad-
justment OF the living and saving

Plan
to Force Action
on Bonus Bill
Administration Forces Win
First Battle to Complete
Tariff Before Soldier
Aid Legislation.
BY GRAFTON S. WILCOX
Omaha Bee Leased Wirc.

Washington, June l9.-Although
administration forces won in the re-
publican caucus today. they are faced
with much harder fight in the SEN
ate to keep the soldiers bonus side
tracked until the tariff is passed.
Immediately upon learning OF the
republican caucus decision. further
to postpone the bonus, democratic
leaders sent out telegrarps to all
absentees urging them to return to
Washington tomorrow for show
down" on the issue. One OF the
sharpest parliamentary combats OF
the present session is in prospect, but
indications are that the administra-
ton will win by a narrow margin.
Opposes Delay.
Calling attention to repeated PROM
ises OF republican leaders to pass the
bonus and the never-ending delays
and postponements, Senator Walsh.
Massachusetts,, democrat, declared
the time had come to stop "bunking'
the ex-service men. He said he was
ready to make a motion to take up
the bonus tomorrow. but it was gen.
orally understood that Senator La
Toilette, Wisconsin, would offer the
motion. Democratic senators said
they preferred to have the motion
come from the republican side.
Approximately u of the 50 demo-
cratic senators favor the bonus, and.
it is believed, they will welcome the
opportunity to support the motion to
take it up. Bonus advocates are also
counting on the aid of perhaps II
or Is republican insurgents. They
are pinning their hopes of success on
the chance that some senators, run
ming for reelection, who are secret
ly opposed to the bonus. will hesi-
tate to go on record publicly i'll
favor OF continued postponement.
McCumber Urges Action.
When the caucus met today Sena-
tor McCumber, North Dakota, chair
man of the finance committee, made
good his promise to do everything i'll
his power to give the bonus the
right of way over the tariff. He
offered a motion to take up the
bonus Immediately. The motion was
rejected by vote of 80 to 9. The
senator's who voted in favor of the
motion were Lenroot, Wisconsin;
McCumber, North Dakota; Capper,
Kansas; Jones, Washington; Town
send, Michigan; Nicholson. Colora-
DO; Sutherland, West Virginia, and
Norbeck, South Dakota.
Following the defeat of the mo-
ton. Senator Curtis, Kansas, re-
publican whip, proposed that the
conference adopt simple resolution
declaring its purpose to take up the
bonus after the tariff was passed
Senator McCumber insisted that the
declaration be more specific. Where
upon a compromise resolution was
drafted and adopted by a vote OF
u to II. 1t asserted that there was
absolutely no foundation for reports
that the bonus would be abandoned.
Senators Edge, New Jersey; Dill
lingham, Vermont; Ernst, Kentucky;
Phipps. Colorado; Nelson, Mime
sofa; Fernald, Maine: Calder, New
York; Newberry, Michigan; War
rem, Wyoming; Wadsworth. New
