. New York, Oct. 10.-Sensational gains in tine prices of shares of companies in the Standard Oil group during the past week in response to the announcements of proposed stock dividends by two com panies, and rumors of such action by several more, have resulted in an appre Citation of nearly 1000 900 GOO in> quoted values above the low prices of the year.

STATEMENT BY PREsIDE~ I OF RAILROAD TRAINMEN

Cleveland, Oct. 1o.-Methods of set tlihg wage and working agreements be tween the Big Four Transportation brotherhoods and the railroads has en- tered a new era. and if the present course of negotiations is continued the country for several years at least, will not be threatened with complete tie up of railroad transportation through a concerted strike of these brotherhoods on all lines of the nation, w G. Lee. president of the Brotherhod of Railroad | Trainmen said toray.
 Decentralization of all wages, rules and working conditions and return to the system prevailing for tweney years prior to 1915 when the four train service brotherhoeds were forced by the eight ] hour fight" to pool their strength into what has. since become famous as the ] Big Four railroad brotherhods, has aI- | ready set in, in the view of Mir. Lee. The new alignment of the transporta- tion brotherhoods probably will find the | Brotherhood of Railroad Trainnren and
 the Order of Railway Conductors in one
 group and the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers, Brotherhood of Locomo-
 tive Bremen and Enginernen and the Switcthmens Union of North America ill ] another.
 T feel that I am able to handle my or
 ganization to better advantage, to get
 more for my men and to work more ef-
 fectivefy all around if the trainnren and conductors go it alone, so far as wages and working rules are concerned MT Lee said.
 This whodle business with all rail. road labor unions on one side and al railroads on the other, with the ailroac labor board in between got too big fol

TURKISH DELEGATES ARE
 DIsMAYED OVER EVENTS


 Mudania, Oct. 10-(By the A. P)-The Turkish delegates were somewhat dis mayed and disappointed over the turn of events in the past two days The new attitude taken by France after the Paris conference puzzled them and they were amazed that French friendship on which they counted as a main prop in the ne- gotiations. did not yield the results they expected.
 At the session of the conference Mon day night Isnet Pasha expressed dis satisfaction at the terms the allies of- fered. He said to General Harrington {: ''But your new armistice convention is in contradiction to the assurances giv- en to me by General Charpy. The con- vention, instead of paving the way for peace, only makes matters worse"
 General Harrington replied merely: General Charpy has assented to the terms"
 After the close of the formal proceed ings, Ismet in the course of conver- sat;on on the recurring subject of Frances promises, said: Tt was upon Frahce's suggestion that our army op- eratlon against the Greeks were ceased. France promising us favorable armis- 1 tlce terms. Frances responsibility there l fore is considerable
 "1f no agreement is reached our ar- my will insist on marching into Thrace, but every days delay--caused by our reliance on favorable arinstice promises --diminishes our military advantage"

PREMIER LLOYD GEORGE HAS
 NO INTENTION OF ASSIGNING

London Oct 1O.-(By The A. P.)- Premier Lloyd George has clearly no intention of resigning office at the orders of his numerous newspaper critics. On the contrary, he is determined to fight them, and at Manchester Saturday is expected to make a vigorous reply to these critics and defend his Near East ern- policy.
 In well informed circles it is also stated that there is no question of the dissolution of parliament at the pres ent time, and that therefore the prime minister's speech will not take the form of an election manifesto. At the same time there is extraordinary activity in all political centers, and rumors that the prime minister may have some new | legislative programme, concerning in ternal eforms to expond. i A meeting of the unionist members of the coalition was held today; at MT ChamberIain's residence; it was attend ed among others by the Earl of Bal four and Lord Curzon, and unquestion- ably had some connection with the at- tacks on the premier.
 One of the most weighty arguments against dissolution just now is the nee essity of parliament ratifying the Irish constitution at the coming autumn ses-
 sion.

 The Times commenting oni the signing assumes that the final terms correspnd closely to those known to hait been jointly submitted to Isrnet by the allies. It. adds that there is now reason to hope that a peace conference will meet short ly and that the situation in the near east will move toward a definitely peaceful solution.
 After paying cordial tribute to Lieu tenant General Harngton's share in tho negotiations, the Times which has ve- hemently criticised the governments handling of the situation, says
 Those of the cabinet ministers who were recently anxious to reprin1and General Harrington for failure to execute instructions which might have precip.- tated a conflict must now be thankful that the yelled secrecy covers their in- discretion, even if they do not feel grateful to those who manfully with stood them."

 Under it, the Greeks will evacuate eastern Thrace within fifteen days and complete the transfer to the Turks Tn an additional month. The Turkish civil ad- ministration will follow closely on the heels of She departing Cheeks, the en- tire transfer being under the sapeTxis- ion of the allied missions and allied forces provisional1y occuppins Thraee, not exceeding seven battaltons The num- ber of Turkish gendarmerie in the prov ince during the interval is left unde- , fined 10 the discretion of the kemilists subject to allied approval.
 The Turks, on their side, undertake not to place an army in Thrace until ! | zones will be delimited by fixed com missions.
 Ismet Pasha expressed the hope tha | his government would approve the con
 vention and promised an answer. at ffv, ; o'clock this evening. As the Greek gov l ernment has instructed it's delegates tt sign the convention if the Turks sign there appears good prospect of peace full settlement, leading to a genera peace conference
 The. British eabinet met this afternool

 it was Great Britain's last work an reminded the Turks of the serious dan l ger of provoking conflict with Brit
 ish power. To the Associated Press COT } respondent General Harrington expresse ; the belief that the Turks would sigr but added that Great Britain was pre- ] pared fo rall eventualties.

 with all possible speed" But if the I sign the protocol, the Turks undertak 1 to respect the neutral zones until a . lied occupation ceases There is still II
 word that the. Turkish forces in thes e zones have attempted to execute the ol l ders of withdrawal said to have bee l given by Mustapha Kemal. o Should the Turks sign the protoc
 there will still remain the difficult que Il tion of the peace conference, and pa }, ticularly the question of whether Il : Russian and Black sea state shall pa j. ticipate in it. The soviets' refusal to "a O fly the Krassin- -Urquhart agreement
