Lawyer Reported After
$4,000 for Services
to Gambler.

Atlanta. Ga. Aug. II. - August
Dreyer. New York lawyer and theatri-

ness on a letter which Walter T. Cand-
Ter received from Clyde II. Byfield
after the men had their fight in Mrs
Byfield's stateroom on the steamship
Berengaria, July 16, called Mr.. Cand-
Ter and demanded $1,000 fee for his
services in the case. according to a
statement from Mr.. Gambler published
by the Atlanta Journal Thursday. The
letter purported to withdraw charges
made against Mr.. Gambler by Mr.. By
field in connection with the incident in
the stateroom.
Reuben II. Arnold. chief counsel for
Mr.. Gambler in his suit to preven, Mr.
Byfield from realizing on the S20.500
note given him and his defense against
Mrs Byfield's 100000 damage suit.
asserted that the purported demand
would be investigated and that should
Dreyer be summoned as witness
steps might be taken regarding IL.
'Dreyer knew nothing whatever
about the incident between Byfield and
myse f. said the statement issued by
the Atlanta banker, las he was not
there and neither heard nor saw any
part of it.
"Dreyer was introduced as his
friend by one of three gamblers men
toned in my petition. who frequented
the ship. Dreyer claimed to be a law
yer and made demand of 5000 be.
fore leaving Paris, which l did net
pay.
"Dreyer called me over the tele-
phone in Atlanta and demanded to
know whether or not j was going to
pay him.
Il told him l owed him nothing and
would pay him nothing.
Mrs. Byfield. who asserted in her
damage suit was made seriously i'll
by an alleged attack by Gambler was
reported to be somewhat improved

BROTHERHOOD MEDIATION
EFFORTS GET NOWHERE N
NEW YORK STRIKE PARLE\
Conference Continued for Another Day; Ques-
ton of Seniority Precludes All Suggestions
Brought Before Executives and Striking I'm
ions; Rulings Bearing on Past Walkouts Cited.

New York, Aug. 17-(By The As
sociated Press. Railway executives
and brotherhood chiefs Thursday
wrestled with the problem of settling
the shopmen's strike and then adjourn
ed until Friday without scoring fall.
Friday, while President Harding is
expected to appear before congress
with a message on the rail situation,
the conferees will re-assemble in an
effort to come to grips on the slippery
question of seniority.
Thursday was a day of conferences
among the brotherhoods chiefs and be-
tween brotherhood and railroad execu-
tives Thursday afternoon and between
brotherhood chiefs and shop crafts of
ficials.
The first gathering, over which
Warren s. Stone, head of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, pre-
sided. was called for the ostensible
purpose of framing concrete program
to be submitted to the executives. The
brotherhood men, who made it plain
that their position was solely media
tory, went into the afternoon parley
without breathing a word of the pro-
posals for strike settlement which
they were believed to have drawn up.
But if the train service officials were
Silent, representatives of the striking
shop crafts, gathered 70 await the re-
suit of the conference, made it plain

Warn Business Men
Not to Start Branch
Houses in Germany

Washington, Aug. Warning
against the establishment of branch
factories in Germany by American
firms was contained Thursday in a re-
port to Secretary Hoover by a spe-
cial committee of business men ap-
pointed to handle economic problems
relating to western Europe. The re-
port asserted that any temporary ad-
vantage to be gained by the location
of branches in Germany by American
firms would be more than offset when
sterilization in that country brings
on further violent dislocation.
The committee making the report
consisted of Fred I. Kent, New York;
chairman; Edwin p. Greene, Boston;
Rudolf s. Hecht, New Orleans; Clyde
L. King, Philadelphia: Alexander
Legge, Chicago; and George NJ. Verify,
Middletown, Ohio.
'At the present time" the report
said, 1T appears to be unwise for
American firms to establish branch
factories in Germany with the inten-
ton of participating in the temporary
postwar advantages enjoyed by Ger
man exporters. These temporary ad-
vantages result from the spread be-
tween the internal and external values
of the depreciating German mark, and
government subsidies. The German
mark cannot continue to depreciate
indefinitely. 1t must be established at
some point or Germany will reach
complete financial breakdown

Two hints of what had tranSpired
escaped.
First, the executives sent for files
containing decisions of the railroad ia
Dor board in which that body in rul-
ings bearing on other strikes. had di-
rected that strikers should forfeit sen
iority rights. This was taken TO in
dictate that the question of seniority
which had figured so prominently in
the two efforts by President Harding
to end the strike, had bobbed lip again.
The second hint was obtained from
Julius K. Krutchnitt. chairman of the
board of the Southern Pacific who.
leaving the conference shortly before
it adjourned indicated that little
