Doubt Over Power in
First Big Test Due
to Failure Italy to
Recognize League in
Dispute with Greece
Hope Held in Per-
sonnet of Statesmen
of Half Hundred Ma
tons Represented

Geneva, Sept. 5.-(By A. P.)-The
superstructure Of the League of Ma
tions. of which an American presi-
dent was the chief architect, is i'm
perilled,- and in the British view the
very foundations Of present day
Europe are shaken. Such, briefly,
is summary of the situation at
Geneva tonight because of Italy'S re-
fusal to recognize the right Of the
League Of Nations to intervene in
her dispute with Greece.
CONSERVATION and deal of sad
ness prevails everywhere, for it is
generally. though reluctantly. adj
mitted that the League has been
unable to Withstand the first great
test of it's practical use as machinery
for regulating differences between
nations, as one of it's leading mem
bers had declined to concede TO its
competence. Hence there is a grow
ing sentiment among the smaller
countries that, If the League coven-
ant applies to them, it apparently
does not bind the great powers of
Europe.
All the more do they feel con-
WINGED of this because the proper
tions which the Italian and Greek
conflict have taken are deemed by
them to be unjustified by the ori-
ginal cause of the controversy, SER
ious and regrettable as was the muir
der of the Italian officers.
But hope is not abandoned; there
are stout hearts among the states
men OF the half hundred countries
represented at Geneva, who believers
in the League and in the ideal of
Cancellation and arbitration which
the League voices, refuse to accept
that action of any member, power
full or weak, can succeed in running
the League as a power for good.
Signor Salandra's entire argument
today was that the questions aris-
ing from the assassination of the
Italian mission should be settled by
the council of ambassadors, and not
by the League. because it was the
ambassadorial body which had APP
pointed the mission to fix the from
tier between Albania and Greece.
That body was the living organism

Portland. Me-. Sept. blinking
UP the Maine Central Railroad, as

ayers of the Portland Chamber OF
Commerce today.
This plan, which embraces con-
nection with the New York Central
by the Worcester. Nashua and Port
land Division of the Boston G. Maine,
would be beneficial to both the State
of Maine and the two Maine roads
involved. he said.
Il don't see why Maine cannot
have a trunk line" he said "All
the rest of New England has trunk
lines and why can't we hook onto
one?"
Mr.. Mcdonald stated that this
plan, which had been carefully
worked out by him. after sitting
tight" for awhile. had been sub
mitted to his board of directors, had
met with their approval and would
be placed before the Interstate
Commerce Commission at the hear
ing to be held in Boston on Septem-

Mr.. Mcdonald said it was a much
Better solution of the consolidation
problem, so far as Maine is concern
ed. than the proposed merging OF
all the New England lines into one
system.
He predicted that. IL it were
adopted by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, ii would result in freer
movement of freight to and from
this section and enough revenue for
the Maine Central to meet all it's fix
ed charges. In time, he intimated.
the stockholders of the Maine Cen

suggested.
George II. Eaton. freight traffic
manager OF the Maine Central, spoke
in favor of the plan. saying that an

all gateways to other sections of the
country, while it would undoubtedly
result in higher rates to the shippers

BELIEVE GERMAN =
RESISTANCE IN RUHR
IS NEARING END

Berlin, Sept. (By A. P)-While
Chancellor Stresemann is still await
ing French reaction TO his speech at
Stuttgart last Sunday there Is a
strong belief in Bourse and financial
circles that the Ruhr conflict is fac
ing an early and enforced termina-
ton. Whatever effects the chancel-
ler's pronounced shift in the direction
Of a French rapproachement may
nave had on Premier Poincare, there
Is growing conviction that Ger
many Is 20 longer capable OF paying
the terrific price involved in main
talning her passive resistance.
Aside from gradual disintegration,
which is daily becoming more con-
spicuous throughout the Ruhr ana
the Rhincland. the nations finances
are lapsing into such chaos that fur
theT indulgence in the luxury of
dumping nncounted trillions into the
battle along the Ruhr and the Rhine
land Is viewed in official and private
quarters as indefensibie. The Ruhr
and the Rhineland today are liter
ally wallowing in oceans of wildcat
currencies of official and private
origin. all Of which must eventually

tories are nominalIy Germany's most
productive sources OF tax revenues
the government has virtually paid
double price for keeping them lnac-
tive through eight months Of passive
resistance in that IL has been de-
prived OF enormous tax receipts
from the most prolific producing
areas. Their rehabilitation TO the
former standard of production will
consume another six months of
unproductiyeness so far as the. tax
excheouer is concerned. in the opin-
ion of industrialist leaders. who are
qualified TO gauge the physical de-
terioration Of the plants and mines
and the extent 10 which the workers
have been demoraliZed BY their idle

Aside from the financial consid-
erations involved, the situation in

HOPE of Early Adjust
ment of Differences
in Concessions Made
by Miners and Oper-
ators Former Ac-
cept 10 Per Cen
Wage Boost Sug-
gested by Governor
- Employers Agree
TO Abandon Demand
for Arbitration

Harrisburg. Pa, Sept. 5.-(By A.
p)-Representatives of anthracite
operators and officers of the miners
union today agreed in conference
with Governor Pinchot of Pennsyl-
vania to material changes in posi-
tons which they have hitherto held.
and which have resulted in suspen-
sion of mining. The employers
rroup tentatively abandoned its de-
mand for arbitration. which the I'M
ion had unyiicldingly opposed.
Miners union officials definitely
accepted the ten per cent wage in
crease which Governor Pinchot in
an effort to compromise the dispute.
Int asked more than that amount
for da ylaborers employed in and
around the mines. They did, how
ever, agree to modify the demand
for CHECK off" OF union dues. by
limiting the amount which could be
collected by it from individuals.
Both the employers group and the
Governor Pinchot in executive ses-
sion, regarded their original stands
as concessions.
The conference adjourned until 10
A. N. tomorrow.
Though the employers agreed to
drop for the time being, the de-
mand for arbitration, and to make a
one year contract covering wages
and working conditions they were
said TO be entirely unwilling to grant
more than a ten per cent wage in
crease. While Governor Pinchot
suggested this figure as COM
promise when he first embarked on
his peace efforts. the union group
today was still seeking to get the
amount Increased so far as the day
workers are concerned. The day
workers number about 100, 900 out
Of the total of approximately 1oo.OOC
in the industry.
Pending the resumption of nego-
tiations tomorrow none OF the
Spokesman of either side had a de-
finite opinion to express as to
whether an actual basis for settling
the strike had been worked out. The
employers were unwilling to take
even a limited application of the
check off, system according to eN-
pressions available, while the union
leaders expressed determination to
obtain the wage increase for da!
men or continue the suspension.

kidneys acted too frequently and
sometimes had to pass the secre-
