Europe Awaiting Expiration of

on JugoSlavia

PARIS, Sept 8.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press ss)-Developm in the
relations between Serbia and Italy
as they are Influenced by the inter-
probation OF the treaty of Rapallo
and the status Of Fiume are being
watched here with increasing inter
est as September '15 approaches. This
was the date set by Premier Mus
solini on which the Serbian govern
ment must give a definite answer
to the Italian demands or Italy
would resume Liberty of action"
Premier Mussolinis intentions in
case the Jugoslav government re-
fuses to accept his terms have not
been disclosed to the French gov
ernment.
NJ. Pachitch, the Jugoslav pre-
mier, who is visiting the capitals
of western Europe. is understood to
have indicated that his government
would not be bullied, but was pre-
pared to refer the question TO the
arbitration of the president of the
Swiss confederation as stipulated in
the treaty.
Should arbitration be unaccept
able to Italy, Premier Pachitch Is
understood to have said, that Jugo-
slavia was prepared to protect her
own interests if forced to do so.
The Jugoslav army has been ex-
tensively reorganized and re-equip-
ped since 1919. Rather extensive
orders for arms and ammunition
were filed in France several months
ago, and other orders are in the
process of execution. These supplies
will be paid for out of credit of
3OO,O00,000 francs which the French
parliament approved before the sum-
mer recess.

ports that early estimates of loss ard
casualties at Toxic were exaggerat-
ed was received today by S. q. Hop

basis of settlement and today a new
wage agreement is being drafted that
means the $4,000 anthracite strik
ers will return TO work in about ten
days. AS usual the strike, the
shortest in the history of general coal
strikes, was at the public's expense.
It's settlement means that anthra-
cite will retail at from rs cents to 81
q ton higher than the rates that
prevailed before the suspension.
This is to be regretted but could
not be avoided, said Gov. Pinchot,
whose peace proposal was accepted
as the basis for new contract. John
L. Lewis, leader of the miners, noti-
fed Governor Pinchot at 1874 p. m.
yesterday that his modified four
point peace plan to which the OPP
orators the day before had agreed
had been accepted by the miners as
basis for a new working agreement.
A joint conference was held last
evening at which the new wage
agreement was started. 1t will re-
quire few days for completion, aft
er which a tri-district convention of
miners will be called to approve 1t.
There are a few minor questions to
be cleared up but Governor Pinchot
said:
"There IS no point in dispute re-
naming between the two sides
which is in any way likely to justify
A continuation of the strike.
