RUSSIAN REPLY BASIS
 FOR FURTHER NEGOTIATIONS

Genoa. April 22-(By the A. P)-The first commission of the economic confer ence. with the exception of the German leleagtes. met today to examine into tht russian reply to the allied note. After
 iort session, at which 1t, appeared the cply generally was considered good
 ass for further negotiations, the com lission decided to entrust it to experts } study the Russian proposals counpar-
 | with those contained in he allied re- iort and to refer the result of their in vestlgations to the commission in the shortest possible time.
 The text of the Russian reply to the en- tente powers is as follows:
 ''The Russian delegation has examined with the greatest care the pro~osal of the allied governments, as set forl-l in the of ficlal note of Arril IS. and at the same time has consulted with it's government.
 'eThe Russian delegation is of opinion that the present economic situation in Russia and the circumstances leading to 1t amply justify, in respect to Russia, the complete remission of all her debts as set forth in the aforementioned note by re- cognition of her counter claims,
 However. the Russian delegation is ready to go a stop further in the quest for a solution and adjustment of and to ac- cept Articles 1 and and item 1 of the abore mentioned annex, provided that war debts and arrears in interest, as well as postponed interest on all lebts, are written down and financial assistance is given Russia to help to recover from her ] present economic state in the shortest possible time.
 Regarding article .. part two on the subject of the above conditions the Rus sian government would be ready to re- store 10 their former owners the use of | property, nationalized or reserved, under the reservation that in the event of that i being impossible, satisfaction shall be given to the legitimate claims of the form CT ownecs. either by mutual agreements l arrived at indirectly between both parties or in virtue of arrahgements to be work ed ont during the present conference
 Financial assistance from foreign sources is absolutely vital for the economic reconstruction of Russia, and so long as there is no prospect of reconstruction forthcoming, the Russian delegation does not see it's way to saddling it's country with debts of which it would not be able to acquit itself.
 The Russian delegation wishes i clearly understood, notwithstanding thu fact that it appears obvious in point O.
 rights. that the Russian government can not assume any obligation with respect t, the debts of it's predecessors until it hai
 been officially recognized de jure by tn interested powers.
 , Hoping you will find the forth goin- proposals will be an adequate basis for resumption of discussions. we have tn , honor to be,
 Your very obedient servant.

 At first the heroic figure faced the hall, where Mayor Hylan and various dub women vied recently in saying un- kind things about him, has manners and his amphibian companions. But he stared so sullenly toward the mayors offices that they turned him around again, and now he faces the old post office building at the south end of the park"

GoMPERs TEsTIFIEs BEFORE
 THE LOCKWOOD COMMITTEE

New York. April 2I.-Testify.ug before the Lockwood Investigating committee here today, Samuel GomDers. president of the American Federation of Labor. ex- pressed the conviction that the courts should not be vested with power to re- view labor disputes which result in hal m 10 union men Or to employers. because the courts are stnl dominated by the an cfent precept of master and servant and constantly exercise their power to weak en organized labor"
 MT. Gompers appeared as witness at the invitation of Samuel Untermyer at the opening session of the committees investigation of the s3O. O.O0O. 900 Hell Gate power house psoject.
 Prior to the labor leaders testimony it had been developed by Mir. Untermyer that work on the power house had been suspended for SIX months as the result of controversy between organized plumbers and steamfitteTs over which craft should perform certain parts of the contract Contractors had been made to suffer he declared, and the public had sustained irreDarable injury because Of the delay in the project.
 Two witnesses Q jOlIrneyman plumber and a plumbers helper. preceded Mir Campers on the stand with testimony that they had been refused admittance to the New York local because '.the books were closed to everyone but broth CTS and sons of union me. and old mem bers."
 From questions on limitation of union membership 10 expulsion Of recalc.trani workers, Mir. Cnte-myer led uD to the subject of tine courts as last resort for workers unjustiy deprived .. membership in union.
 Do you believe that there should be a right of review vested in courts 10 pre- vent unjust expulsion Of union mem- bers?" Mir. UntermyeT asked.
 God save labor from the courts Mir. Gompers replied.
 q have no faith in courts" he con- tinued. "In deciding cases between you and me. as individuals, they are fair and l impartial. But in cases which hinge upon the relations of employer and workman, the courts are most partial and unfair. They always favor capital.
 'The tendency of the last decade has been to grant more power to the courts and, where the power isn't granted, for the courts to take it." Again he said: I'd rather allow ex. pulsion to continue than to submit labor disputes to the courts If the courts were given jurisdiction by law over the inter. nal affairs of a labor union they would not be unlikely to extend their jurisdic tion 10 include all affairs of the organ | ization'
 | When Mir Untermyer interrupted th, | testimony to inquire a position what Nir | Gompers based ''ti,is revolutionary doc 1 tr.ne." the labor leader retorted:
 ''1 refuse to permit you to s.igmstiz my language as revolutionary. l am th miidest hammered man that ever cut throat or scuttled a ship
 Mir GomDers consented to resume th stand tomorrow, although he made i clear to the committee that while he Wa testifying voluntarily. he did not do 8 willingly.

Debts of Its Predecessors.

Genoa, April e1 CBy the A. P.J-The economic conference today made great stride forward. The elimination of the RussO-German treaty from the contro- versy. and soviet Russia's provisional ac- ceptance of the allied conditions concern ing foreign debts and confscated proper ty of foreigners produced a very definite hope that the greatest congress European statesmen ever have held will accomplish something real and tangible for the re- construction Of Europe, including Rus s.a.
 The demands of the powers which hava been accepted Include the waiving by Russia of her counter-claims based on military intervention; recognition of war debts Co the governments. with the un- derstsnding that they will be consider ably scaled down; recognition of debts and financial obligations due to foreign nationals and the right of foreigners to have coufiscated property returned to thsn or Co be given proper compensation ior it
 The conciiiatory nature of the answer of the soviet government contributed to thc optimism that the bolshevild earnest y seek an arrangement with the powers ty which soviet Russia win be permitted to enter into the comity Of nations The dllloE. which afford concrete basis for discus Hious. are compared here by the observers Co the concrete American proposals for naval limitation which was introduced at ths outset Of the Washington conference and which gave the delegates to the Washington gathering an opportunity to concentrate discussion of something tan Eible and constructive.
 The ins.stence of the soviet on foreign financial aid as a necessary condition to Russia's salvation serve Co turn all eyes toward the United States for it seems to be recognized that effective succor for Russia ls impossible without the particl- patton Of American capital. This con- viction is SO profound that the allied rep res=ntatives are limiting that they would Ike to soc Richard Washburn Child, the American ambassador to Italy. attend the discussion on Russian affairs.
 The sentiment regarding American fi- nanciai support was summoned up today ty former President Motta of Switzer- land. who said that without assistance from the United States it would be very difficult for Europa to win out. 'Ws do not believe that America will forget tn, ues binding her to Europe" he declared.
