COOLIDGE SEES NO HOPE
FOR ECONOMIC CONFERENCE

WASHINGTON Oct 9 With the
pi esent condition of mind existing
in Europe President Coolidge sees
little or nothing to be gained from
an endeavor to hold a world eco
nomic conference.
The views of the President were
obtained today when the attention
of White House officials was called
to the advocacy of an international
economic conference by Senator
Copeland. Democrat, New York.
The President has not considered
the question particularly but the
subject has been one OF more or less
continuous discussion IN Washing
ton for the past two years. Up to
the present time, however, the Pres
ident has not been able 70 see such
conditions in existence abroad as
would make a world discussion OF
economic problems practicable or
useful.
The view Of Mr.. Coolidge that 1t
would te useless to even start In
motion steps looking tovaro an
economic conference until there
were assurances that soma success
wru)d attend the discussions Many
of the question foremost In con-
flict in Europe are recogniZed ny
tho President as of an economic ma
ture, but a number of them, in his
opinion are so closely allied with the
political considerations that n meet
ing of the representatives OF the
nations OF the world do little TO
remove the conflicts

DEMAND MADE:
UPON GERMANY
Drastic Action Taken by
Group of Ruhr Industrial
lists Headed by SHINES

BERLIN, Oct. 9-Important, even
drastic, demands were made of the
German government today by the
group of Ruhr industrialists headed
b., Hugo SHINES who recently were
ir consultation with General De-
goutte, the French commander-in
chief, at Dusseldorf.
Authority to continue negotiations
with the occupation officials in the
Ruhr was one of these demands.
Provision for longer working
hours for German workers both in
the mines and above ground was
another.
The demands were handed to the
government by Herr SHINES himself
He asked an answer by noon today.
A meeting of the cabinet took them
under consideration this morning.
The industrialists also demanded
compensation for the coal confiscat-
ed since the beginning of the Ruhr
occupation and for the forcibly-
levied coal tax; the abolition of the
coal tax for the Ruhr region; guar
antee that all future deliveries or
reparation coal be placed in their
hands; preferential treatment for the
Ruhr in supplies of raw materials
and foodstuffs.
The working hours underground,
If the industrialists demands were
granted, would be S12 hours, and
above ground ten hours.
The industrialists also asked What
the governments attitude would he
toward the creation of a railway
company in the occupied territory In
which the Rhineland, France and in
dustry would participate.

BRIGHT BUSINESS FUTURE
seen BY PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9:-Al-
though not desiring to pose as
prophet, President Coolidge re-
CARDS the business future of the
country as promising and looks
for a continuation of present
conditions, which he believed on
the whole are good.
The President has received
through members of his cabinet,
leaders in industry and agricul-
ture, and representatives of
labor, information which has
enabled him to make a survey
of the present economic condi-
ton of the country. From these
reports the future may be in
dicated to certain extent, in
the Presidents opinion, and his
belief is that there need be no
apprehension as to continuance
of present conditions.

Y. w. C. A. ACTIVITIES

Miss Berry explained that due to
the f1imsy construction of the ma
tive buildings the great danger is
from fire. Fire is a very tragic
thing in japan. Houses are an
nimsy as paper. in fact paper enters
very largely into the construction OF
walls and there are frequent high
winds. At night there are men con.
stantly upon patrol. each has such
a relatively small area as a beat that
IL is possible to pass a given spot
such as our building every twenty
minutes or SO. OF course they are
supposed to keep their eyes open
for robbers. but It is fire that the
people greatly fear. Earthquakes
are dangerous for this reason, as
falling chimneys or upset charcoal
burners may readily spread fire."
Miss Berry had the highest praise
for Japanese women and girls. From
her long and active experiences in
Yokohama. she feels confident that
their relief work will be expertiy
handled. They are wonderfully
capable, quick to work with enthus.
iasm and devotion. she SAID.
Through the efforts OF the native
board members forty per cent of
the financial support OF the Y. w. c.
A. work is raised in Japan. Last
year twenty-five thousand yen
Nf2.6 was raised.
