On the proposal tc restore unfm- paired seniority rights to the striix- CTS, which wnS rejected by railway executives nt meeting yesterday fin New York, the message decIaredI
 "It would certainly be a wholesale injustice of unparaIIed extent if hun- dreds of thousands of experienced men who have given four to forty years service, ana whose value to the transportation industry is propor- tioned to the length of their ser vice, would he placed in a position of inferiority to limited number of men who have been employed ns sub. stitntes for these experienced xail- rond workers"
 Replying to the Presidents suE- gestion that railroads and workmen agree to abide by decisions of the railroad labor board, tho reply said the shopmen had always taken the position that so long as they con tinued to render service they should abide by tho rules and working con ditions and accept the wages agreed upon by proper negotiations or de- termined by the labor board after . hearing of dispute.
 Decisions Not Violated
 Violations of the law and refusal to abide by decisions of the board have been exhibited only by the railway managements." the reply said. and asserted that suspension of work under non-acceptabie condi- tions was not in violation of the boards decisions.
 On the Presidens-s proposai that law suits growing out of the strike be withdrawn and that railroad labor board dec4seona to which ex- cenffou Ia taken hY e.tQhAr aida may be taken to the board by either side for Q rehearing. tho message said that 1t was tho understsndins of tho union leaders that the labor board would give q prompt rehear- Ing and decision of questions in dis pute and there would be no ques- ton as to "who arc ths properly accredited spokesmen of tho mr ~ jorfy cf railway ents4ioyas.
 The decision accepting the Prssi- dents suggestions was reached after the policy committee of 90 men of the shop crafts' organization had considered the proposal for two days After tho executive commit tee had decided to recommend ac- ceptance. the policy committee fol- lowed its recommendation, but de- manded that 1t be given the right to give approval to the message of acceptance and tho interpretation of the proposal ssnt to tho Presi- dent tonight.
 Timothy Heafy, president of the firemen and oilers union. which Is also on strike, signed the shopr. ems acceptance of the Presidents pro- posal, stating that his union would abide by the suggestions and would follow the shopmen."

Cotton jumped up $s.5o baic, and the cotton crop for this year will be 100000 bales below the crop of two years ago. That's good news for cotton growers. bad news for the ragged. half-clothed hundreds of mill lions in Europe and Asia.
 Men manage crops and prices badly, leaving naked children at the mercy of cotton spectators and price fluc- tuations.

RESTRICTIONS Of
ARMS DISCUSSED
ARMS CONFERENCE TO TAKE UP
MATTER OF LOOKING TO PRO.
Hl5ITloN OF ARMS TO CHINA
Prevention Of Importatlons Of Weapons
for China to Be Discussed
BY Washington
Conference

WashlngtOn--As one means OF giving
effect TO its declaration last week In
favor OF reduction Of the Chinese army,
the arms conference Is considering an
other resolution looking to prohibition
OF the Importation Of arms into China.
The proposition emanated from the
American delegation, which went Into
Mondays meeting OF the Far Eastern
conference prepared to present II
fully The subcommittee on the Chinese
Eastern railroad also had report
ready for consideration and 1t was In
dictated that both OF these proposals
would be disposed OF before the COM
mittee turned Its attention to Siberia,
the next subject on the Far Eastern
agenda.
The Chinese Eastern plan was un.
derstood to contain continuance of
present lnterallled control of the road
until more stable conditions are restor-
ed In Russia, into whose territory the
road crosses from Manchuria.
The arms prohibition plan was be.
heved acceptable to most OF the dele
cations Of the powers, and 1t was in
dicated also that the Chinese. who
heartily supported the preceding reso-
luton regarding reduction OF Chlna's
army, would not interpose any objec-
ton.
At the time OF the settlement OF the
Boxer difficulties many years ago one
Of thes conditions imposed upon China
by the powers was that further Inn
portatlOn OF firearms into China should
be prohibited. This provision. how
ever, Is said to have been more hon
pred in tht breach than In the oberser-
vance"
