STATESMEN GATHER
FOR GRAVE FARLEY
Allied Representatives to Dis
cuss Preparations CUES
ton at London.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-(By A. PD-
Allied statesmen are gathering in
London tonight for the opening OF
what seems universally regarded as
the most momentous conference
since peace was concluded.
The immediate concern OF the
conference is the question OF repair
ations and Germany's request for a
moratorium; but since the delivery
last week Of the note OF the earl OF
Balfour it is assumed that the ques-
ton of inter-allied indebtedness
cannot be excluded from the dis
cussions. especially as Raymond
Poincare, the French premier. is
credited with bringing 10 London a
plan for the extinction of the Ger
man reparations bond in exchange
for a cancellation OF the French
debt to Great Britain.
This plan meets with little SYM
pathy in England. because IL IS con-
tended these German bonds being
admittedly worthless. Great Britain
would gain nothing; but, by for
giving the French debt. would lose
the last weapon che possesses for
bringing pressure 20 bear upon
France upon the question OF arma-
ments or any policy in which France
might run counter 10 British ideas.
The situation is further cOmpli-
Gated by the ultimatum France de-
livered TO Germany concerning Ger
many's payments on account Of
clearing house debts and the meas
ures which France already has or
dered taken in this connection.
Little hope seems to be enter
tanned here that the conference will
be a successful one. although Il is
fully recognized that in view Of the
swift fall IN the value OF the mark.
which threatens 20 bring Germany
in the wake OF Austria and Russia
financially the situation has been
reached IN which half way meas
ures no longer viii be Of avail

SENATOR ATTACKS
DUTIES ON HIDES
Walsh of Massachusetts, Saws
Independent Tanneries
Will be DESTROYED.

WASHINGTON. Aug: 6.-(By A.
P)-Sen. Walsh Of Massachusetts,,
who is to lead the democratic oppo-
sitiOn 10 the duty on hides. which
viii be considered by the senate this
week, declared in a statement to-
night that the effect OF this duty
would be the destruction of the 700
Independent tanning establishments
over the country, and the extension
Of the packers monopoly of the
tanning industry.
The packers will not be injured
by the tariff" said Sen. Walsh, "be-
cause they never buy hides and will
not have to pay any duty. The only
way the packers can be affected
would be by a reflection Of the duty
upon hices in increasing the price
Of cattle. but "a the packers control
the price of cattle on the hoof. the
levying Of a tariff duty would be
without effect SO far as they are
concerned
a vote for a duty on hides is a
vote for the packers and a vote
against the increase and prosperity
OF the tanning. boot and shoe and
leather Industries as heretofore con-
Quoted, and an invitation 10 the
packers 10 exploit. crush and destroy
numerous small and independent in
dustries competing with each other
IN the tanning OF hides. the manu-
facture or leather products"

CHICAGO. Aug. 6.-CBy A. P.)-
Chicago was riding tonight after 2
week spent in walking. or riding in
jitney buses or othef contrivances
hurriedly assembled TO meet the oc-
casion OF the street car strike called
at o'clock last Tuesday morning,
which ended tonight when the trac-
ton employees voted, 1902 to 5.OS6.
TO accept the 1O-cent an hour wage
cut and return TO their posts. The
agreement was previously drawn up
by car line executives and union Of
fic.als.
Pedestrians Surprised.
Shortly after the result of the vote
was announced, the first elevated
train was pounding toward the loop.
while thousands Of pedestrians IN
the streets below. unaware that any
decision had been reached stared.
awry-eyed, many of them thinking
their eyes must be deceiving them.
For almost six days the streets OF
Chicago have been void Of any sem
blance of a street car. Thorough
fares have been damned with thou
sands Of automobiles and trucks, all
OF them loaded far beyond their
capacity. and each trying 10 do It's
bit in helping TO keep Chicago NOV
ing. Traffic jams. such as have never
before been seen in the history OF the
city. have been common occurrences.
New traffic signals, greatly improv-
ing the speed with which the prob
lem might be handled, have been an
outcome of this sort Of labor war,
so completely were its effects felt.
Strike Costly.
II is estimated by those in close
connection with the situation that
the six days strike has cost the
street car company close to $1,000
600. Approximately 100000 pas
sengers of the company were strand
ed Tuesday morning when they
awoke and found that not a car
wheel was turning in the city.
Soon after the first elevated
train plunged towards the loop last
night, greeted on every side by the
blasts Of steam whistles and automo-
bile horns. surface cars were running
on full schedule and the labor war
which made Chicago walk was vir-
tUally forgotten.

GENEVA. Aug. 6-(By A. PO-
THE welfare of the League of Ma
tons and the welfare of our own
country should be advanced If we
entered into full membership in the
League of Nations; but IT is appar-
ent from an intimate view Of the sit
uatiOn here that membership of the
United States is not essential TO the
life Of the League of Nations" said
James Cox, former governor of Ohio.
in "A speech delivered this evening to
the members of the secretariat of the
League of Nations and prominent
men Of Switzerland. Mr. Cox, since
his visit here. has made a thorough
examination of the workings of the
