j. S. STILL HOPES FOR PARLE'
While POincnre
Argues, Germans
Continue Riots
BY A. L. BRADFORD
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

L
WASHINGTON, Oct. 90. The
American government is not dis
turbed over the week end deelara-
tions of Premier Poincare of
France and believes that the ad-
visory conference of experts on
reparations proposed by Secretary
of State Hughes. will be held, it was
declared by II high authority efsthe
administration today.
Poincare's statements that the
expert commission to determine
Germany's capacity to pay cannot
reduce the present amount of re-
parations, are regarded here as de-
signed entirely for home consump-
ton.
Secretary Hughes never pretend-
ed that the conference itself could
reduce reparations, it was pointed
out. and there is no thought here
that this would be function of the
conference itself.
The parley is to be purely an ad.
visorv BODY, although carrying of
ficial sanction of the respective
governments. World public opin-
ion can center upon the recommen-
dations of the conference and gov.
e"nments can follow the expert ad-
vice, it is declared. #
Bankers Might Help
AS Poincare states the provisions
of the Versailles treaty cannot be
made void by the conference of ex-
perts on the reparations. However.
the state department makes it plain
that this does not change the fact
that the expert conference at least
seems to open up channel for a
final settlement of the reparations
question through the recommends
+ions it is to make and the possi-
bility that the different govern.
ments will adopt these recommen-
dations.
AS an indication of what the ex-
pert conference may lead to it is
thought in some quarters here that
the experts might be followed by q
broader conference to carry into
effect the first conferences conclu-
sion as to what Germany can pay.
After a reparation figure has been
fixed definitely a large elcSn from
American bankers might be forth
coming to Germany to put that
country on it's feet and in a posi-
tion to pay reparations. ,-,r
The state department is now pro-
ceeding on the understanding that
all the powers concerned have
agreed to the expert reparations
conference.
BERLIN, Oct. 29.-The federal

THO Lessons From THO Faces

Elsewhere in this edition of The Star is printed in
connection with Chicago special dispatch the picture Of
Peter Budof aged TO- Also that of Alfred Carlson, not
quite so old, but now helpless invalid
Study these pictures.
For 3S years Budoff toed in the damp cellars of
of the Morris Co. packing plants but he says he did
not mind his work nor his surroundings because he
counted upon his payments into the company pension
fund to insure him at least comfortable living in his old
age
Carlson worked over the Morris Co. lard watts for al
most 80 years Then an accident incapactated him. and
his payments into the company fund enabled him to quit
work pension
But both Budoff and Carlson and several Others
in their same fix were happy They lived useful lives
worked hard and earned their rest toward the end OF
their DAYS
But all that is gone. Budoff wonders what is to come
of him after next year. Carsons serenity has given
way to nervous fear of the future
The cause of it all was the decision of the financial
powers behind the Armour Morris merger that the Nor
ris pension fund to be quidated and discontinued
present funds exhausted some time next
year. Some 500 faithful Morris employees who paid reg
larry into the fund expecting odage insurance are 70 DC
cast adrift, too old to work to make new start

financial powers.

these two faces and of the facts behind their

against old age unless the funds paid in by the workers
