RuHR TO RESUME DELIVERY

BY the Associated Press.
DUESSELDORF, November 24.-The
biggest step toward restoring eco
nomic life in the Ruhr since the cessa-
tion of passive resistance was made
Yesterday when Herr Vogler of the
Deutsche Luxembourg mining group,
acting in behalf of the Ruhr Mine
owners Association, signed the con-
ditions originally stipulated by the
France Belgian control commission
for recommending reparations coal
deliveries.
The signing comes after strenuous
negotiations. which have been going
on intermttently for more than a
month, and the agreemee1ntt 1ent reacheo
The combination in whose behalf
the agreement with the commission
was signed, including the Reusch-
Good Hope group, the Hubert-Dort-
mund- Union -Fickler-Harpner group
and the Hugo SHINES and Fritz Thys-
sen groups, accounts for about 80 per
cent Of the coal production in the
Ruhr, the remaining 20 per cent be-
ing controlled by the Wolff-Phoenix-
Krupp concerns, who have already
signed separate agreements.
The text of the document covers
forty-seven pages and is highly tech
nical. The phrase free to the allies
as reparations," as used In the agree
ment in connection with deliveries by
the mine owners, is taken as indica-
ton that the coal deliveries will be
charged to the general reparations
account instead of to the cost of the
occupation OF the Ruhr.
The summary of the document does
not state whether Germany will be
given concessions on this point. OFF,
cials, however. say application of
these deliveries to the cost of occu-
nation of the Ruhr never was insisted
on by the French and Belgians; they
only desire the taxes and revenues
from licenses, which provisions re-
main to be signed in the agreement
as originally laid down by the French
and Belgians.

was found in the Spanish embassy at
Paris week ago. and declared he
suspected a conspiracy of terroriza-

TAGS TO GO ON SALE DEC q
Commissioners Decide Against De.

The Commissioners will not most
pone the sale of 1924 tags to District
motorists because Of the antfcina ted
enactment of the gasoline tax nv
Congress. Commissioner RudoJnb On
nounced today.
The order issued yesterday direct
ing that 1924 tags be placed on sale
December will stand, the Commits
sioner said
Under the present law tags cost "a
50 or $40. according to horsepower
of the engine. Under the reciprocitv
bill there would be a fiat charge of
81 Tor all tags and tax of cents
per gallon on gasoline purchased bv
the motorist. In addition, the pro
posed bill would relieve motorists of
the present personal tax on auto
mobiles of s1.20 per 500 of assessed
value.
The state of Maryland has agreed to
grant reciprocity to the District if
such bill is enacted into law.
The Commissioners have not vet
determined whether they will at
tempt to make refunds to motorists
cember # the gas tax bill becomes a
law in January or February.
I'VE will cross that bridge when
we come to it," said Commissioner
1t Is understood the Commissioners
are unwilling to delay sale nf the
new tags for the reason that should
Congress fail to enact the new law
during December. there would be a
grand rush of thousands of motorists
to get their tags under the present
law in the last few days of 1928.
Engineer Commissioner Bell voiced
the belief that it is much more ad-
visable to proceed on December 3
with the sale of tags and take up the
matter of refunds later IL the new
law passes.
The Commissioners do not expect a
reply until sometime next week to
the letter they wrote to Gov. Rttchie
of Maryland, yesterday, asking that
official to enter into a temporary
reciprocity agreement for January
and February in the hope that the
gas tax bill will pass Congress be-
fore that time

COURT H0LDSAUT0
PERMITS ILLEGAL
Only Those Issued This Year
Proper Under New
Ruling.

Unwittingly, every Washingtonian
over the city streets without an oper-
ator's permit obtained this year is a
violator of an act of Congress.
This is the conclusion reached from
a ruling handed down today by Judge
John P. Mcmahon in Police Court, fol-
lowing a motion for a rehearing of
the case of the District against Louis
NJ Crosson, a chauffeur of the De-
partment of Agriculture, who was
arrested about a year ago charged
with having no operators permit.
The defense at the time held that,
since he was an employe of the fed
eral government, the Civil Service
Commission held jurisdiction in the
case and no operators permit from
municipal authorities was required.
The court held in its first opinion
that under the opinion of the Court
OF Appeals in case OF the District
against King" II was necessary for
the operator Of a goyernment-owned d
vehicle to procure an annual permit
10 operate an automobile.
And it was also necessary for the
government to obtain Identification
tags annually. This was based upon
the act of March 3, 1917, known as a
state reciprocity act, which provided
that every operator of an automobile
in the District of Columbia be an
nually licensed to drive an automo-
bile, and every automobile be annual
ly furnished with identification tags.
Rehearing Denied.
The court today denied the motion
for a rehearing of the case by main
tanning that the same ruling as made
previously still held in the case.
Consequently by referring to the
act of March 3, 1917, local motorists
may find that they have been yiolat-
ing the law.
Significance of this ruling may wing
its way TO Capitol Hill, where a traf-
nc hearing is now in progress. When
new traffic rules for the District are
being considered, in view of the de-
Veiopments in this case today, 1t is
considered probable that local traffic
authorities will call attention to the
fact that thousands of Washingto-
mans have been operating automo-
biles continuously since 1917 with per-
mlts granted at that time
The specifications OF the act, 1t is
believed, may cause a complication
at the office of those who issue ope-
rator's permits at the District build
ing.
Maj. Peyton Gordon, District at
torney, was interested in the case. In
fact il was his office that made the
first motion that the conviction of
'Crosson be set aside. At the time when
the motion was overruled, an eXcep-
tion was noted. This was followed by
the new motion filed by Maj. Gordon,
which was oVerruled today.

LONDON. November 24-Socfalistic
elements of the labor party are max
ing a great bid for more seats in the
forthcoming general election. The
Independent labor party, which is af-
filiated with the labor party, is put
ting up seventy five candidates this
time. compared with five in the last
election. and an appeal has just been
issued to raise $3.50, 900 to finance the
campaign.
The independent laborites. who are
socialists of the dark pink variety
tate the policy of the main body in
parliament. 1t is somewhat of sur
prise. however, that they should come
out openly and put up men in such
large numbers.
Led by Macdonald.
Ramsay Macdonald, who is hailed
in several labor districts as Great
Britains next premier" belongs to
the independent branch of the party
So do Arthur Henderson and Thomas
Shaw The independents are gen
orally believed responsible for the
plank in the labor platform advo-
eating a closer league with Germany
and Russia.
Although the independents claim a
membership of only 26.000. they rule
g. 900, 900 members of the labor party.
according to the conservatives who
are carrying on vigorous campaign
against the laboriteS. and accusing
Macdonald, Henderson and Shaw OF
exposing Great Britain to the danger
of being ruled from Berlin or Mos
COW, as a result of their dangerous
relations with the German and Rus
sian socialists.
Urge Capital Levy.
THE trades unions find the money.
but it is the socialists. who call the
tune" is what the conservatives
charge in their effort to enlighten the
laboring population as to the true
color of the labor party. The capital
levy proposed by the laborites is the
pet scheme of the Independents, who
heard glowing reports of its success
at the recent international meeting of
socialists at Hamburg.
But the leader of the moderate wing
of the labor party. Clynes, admits in
an article just published that the capi-
tai levy proposal is not popular, even
among the members of the party, In
some quarters ii is asserted that the
labor party will gain no seats in this
election, and may even lose a few in
the great liberal landslide that many
feel is sure TO take place two weeks
hence.
