RAILROAD MEN
 IN CONVENTION
 IN EAST TODAY
Great Labor Organization in Session-Important Dis
 cussions Slated.

CHICAGO, April 10.-The two years of private ownership of the railroads, since their release from Federal control after the war, will be reviewed and many vital ques. tions acted upon by the biennial con. vention of the Railway Employees department of the American Federa- tion of Labor, which convened here today.
 Five hundred delegates from every railroad in the country where. the departments organizations are repre- sented have been chosen. The six shop crafts unons-boilermake blacksnGths, carmen. sheet-metai workers, electrical workers and ma. chinists-and the clerks and switch mems unions. comprise the mem bership of the department.
 B. M. Jewell, president of the de- pertinent, has no opposition for re election. J. H. McGrath, vice presi- dent, and John Scott, secrctary-treas- urer. are also expected to stand un opposed for reelection.
 Although a long list of questions win probably prOlong the convention for two weeks or more, the most i'm portant discussions are expected to center about the recent action of several railroads in contracting shop work to outside firms, thus remov- ing tho shop men from the jurisdic tion of the Railroad Labor Board. and a review of the boards decisions on wages and working conditions.

Genoa Economic Conference Begins Session - Open
 ing This Afternoon.
LLOYD GEORGE SEEMS
 TO BE BIG DIPLOMAT
Makes Statement to News paper Correspondents
 Regarding Conference.

GENOA, April 10.-The Economic Conference was formally opened this afternoon by Premier Facta, of Italy, in the historic Palace of St. George.
 It was announced that this city will be the birthplace of a new Europe surrounded by new ideals capable of fulfillment. This was the expression made here by Premier Lloyd George.
 The British Premier made a for nal statement to the correspondents, given out as follows:
 Premier Lloyd George told the correspondents definitely that if the guarantees and safeguards which the Russian rulers give at Genoa are satisfactory and are carried out, the recognition will follow, perhaps immediately.
 But under no circumstances would He press for recognition un- less the necessary guarantees are forthcoming. Were Russia ready to enter a peace pact with neighbor- ing states such a step would have great influence upon the Allies in reaching a decision.
 "The presence of Lenine would be regarded as sign that the Rus cian government takes the confer once seriously"
 Dealing with the red army men, ace Lloyd George said that thou sands of men are armed and massed and ready to strike at a moments notice simply because the rulers of Russia and many of the people are suspicious of Europe's intentions toward them.
 One of Lloyd Georges first acts will be to discover whether the present rulers of Russia are pre- pared to recognize the liabilities of former Russian governments, guar antee the protection of foreigners and establish a system of justice in accordance with some recognized code of law.

Paid for and Forgotten Is' Pictured by Gov. Scott Bone

'The Land That Uncle Sam Bought and Then Forgot" is the title under which appears very graphic pie lure, in words and illustrations, of Alaska and her conditions, in an article in the April Review of Re views from the pen of Gov Scott c. Bone.
 Beginning with the assertion that Alaskans are Americans, through and through, confronted with American problems, Governor Bone entertain ingly and interestingly sketches the opportunity for development afford. ed by the completion of the Alaska Railway, the building of which with never a b.nt of graft or loot" he characterizes as work both "magnifi- cent and enduring" He dwells upon the neglect of Alaska by the Fed eral government, "the sins of com mission and omission" which he calls sorry. tragic chapter of Amer ican history" He also devotes con siderable space to the character of Alaska's population, the ''happy homes" the fine "rosy-cheeked happy, healthy children the we'll. ordered law-abiding civilization, the increase in the female and youthful population and the fine schools with their constantly growing enrolment
 Separated from the United States by British water, and of Russian an tecedeats," writes Governor Bone. Alaska nevertheless is distinctively American territory. It's problems are American problems. It has no com plex educational or racial problem to deal with, as have Porto Rico, the Philippines and Hawaii.s
 Greatest Achievement for Alaska
 After describing the country through which the Alaska Railway was pushed ito completion by Col Frederick Mears, Chief Engineer Of Constructors Hanson and Superin tendent "Hurry-Up" Jones, Governor Bone says:
 Begun seven years ago, but inter rupted by the World War and halted at other intervals while waiting upon appropriations, this Government Rail road is the greatest achievement in

JUMP PRIVATE DEBTS.

DUBLIN, April 10.-Complain has been made in some districts of Ire land that the departing British forces of the Auxiliary divisions have gone without paying their private debts.
 In Kilkenny, an official notice was published inviting traders to send in their claims but some of the traders have found it impossible to get their money.
 Sir Hamar Greenwood referred them to the Police Department in Dublin Castle and the adjutant of the Auxiliaries replied that "it is regretted that no action can now be taken against the individuals con cerned as they have all been dis pressed. Attached, however. please find list of their last known ad- dresses"
 When this reply was sent to the Chief Secretary he wrote: The debts to which you refer were pri- vate liabilities of the individual cadets and as such the government have no pCwer to take action to re- ceive these monies for you"
 The grievance of the traders arises from the fact that they could not afford to apply to these formid- able auxiliary policeman the ordi- nary tests of trade credit. When raids were frequent and destructive it was naturally thought unsafe to refuse goods to the forces which could make them.
