ences and nothing has been said or done by any railroad official that would. indicate any change in the company policy concerning the re- employment of striking employees an- nounced at the beginning of the strike. This policy consistently has been, still is and will continue to be, that only such of its former em- ployes as the company can properly use will be re-employed, and that these will be treated as new em- ployes.
 The places left are now compara- lively few. as the company at this time has 14,000 mechanical employees in It's service, with whom 1t has con ciuded an agreement through their chosen representatives.
 T need hardly repeat what has heretofore been often stated. that the loyal men who remained in the serv- ice. the new ones who have entered our employ since the strike, and those who shall hereafter do so will be protected to the limit
 "We refrained for some time from noticing these unfounded repc rts and are making this final statement now in justice both to the company and to those of you who are being misled into false hopes of different ad- |tustment. Respectfully.

 Conservatives, 465. Asquithan, or independent liberals, 326 national or Georgian liberals. IT, and laborites 40.
 There still may be a few more nom nations, but they are considered to be practically complete and although there have been conflicting reports on the subject today, apparently Mir Lloyd George has no intention of carrying out his threat to nominate host of carpet bagger" candidates to oppose the conservatives. One such candidate was nominated today to oppose Sir William Joynson- Hicks, the new secretary for overseas trades but no others are known and the former premier's opponents do not hesitate to declare openly that he has been outwitted by Sir George Younger, who, they say, again has shown his superiority in electioneer- ing tactics"
 The first actual members of the new Parliament were announced to- day. They are the three members for the combined Scottish Universi- ties" two conservatives. Sir Henry craik and Sir George Berry. and one nationalist liberal. D. M. Cowan, who being unopposed were declared duly elected.

RULE OF SULTAN
 COMES ID AN END
 WITH NEW DECREE
Executive and Legislative Powers of Country Con- ferred Upon Nation by
 Angora Assembly
By Associated Press

Constantinople, November 3.-An end to the sultanate in Turkey has been unanimously decreed by the grand nationa assembly sitting at Angora. The executive and legis- lative powers of the country have been conferred by the assembly on the nation, and the palace of the Sublime Porte which through cor rupt ignorance for several centuries provoked numerous ills for the country" has passed into the domain of history.
 A Caliph is to be chosen by the assembly from member of the Os- man dynasty to succeed the Sultan, but the resolutions or the assemb y announced that the Turkish govern ment would remain the keystone of the caliphate. The choice of the caliph is to be that member of the imperial family who is the best in- structsd. the best educated, the most honest and the wisest. The assem- bly also decided that all treaties en- tered into the Constantinople gov ernment since March IS, 1920, were null and void. The decision of the assembly was followed by the pro- clamatfon of a national holiday and the firing of salute of 101 guns.
 Sultan Still In Power
 Notwithstanding the assembly's degree that the era of liberation had at least been entered into, the Sultan presided this afternoon at an extra ordinary council of his ministers. The grand vicier, Tewfik Pasha, and his colleagues kissed the SuItan's hand on the occasion of the prophets birthday, renewed their pledge of loyalty and expressed the utmost indignation at what was termed the rash action of the Angora govern ment in proclaming an end to the sultanate.
 While nothing definite can be as- certained regarding the decision reached at the council today, it was reported in high quarters that there was good reason to believe the Sul- tan has disputed the legal character of the national assemblys decision, 1t being explained the national as- sembly was elected under abnormal circumstances
 Protests Action
 Some of the newspapers today said a addiction of the Sultan is only a question of hours but the ministers of the Sublime Porte apparently take no such pessimfstic view of the situation. The Sultan's authority ac- cording to traditions, would be
