Debt Commissioners
Pledge Sane Accord

and for the generous help our people
received from citizens Of the United
States"
Secretary Mellon, head of the Amer
lean debt commission, declared he rec
ognized the influence the present con-
ference may have on the peace Of the
world and described the American de-
sire and duty as one in the direction of
a settlement that would be fair to all,
and, lin the practical test of time,
workable"
NJ. Caillaux spoke very briefly ex-
planning that the hope Of the French
was. to reach a settlement that would
not only be practicable insofar as ma
terial interests are concerned, but one
that would be worthy of the past of
the two great nations He said the
discussions between the two commits
sions should go forward in such way
as Ito fortify peace and help the eco
nomic stabilization in the world"
Caillaux Lauds U. S. Aid
Il have come from France" said NJ.
Caillaux, instructed by my government
to meet the obligations of my country
towards the United States.
Highly appreciated members of our
parliament, belonging to all parties,
chairmen or reporters Of the financial
and trade commissions of the upper and
lower houses have been so kind as to
accompany me. Like myself these gen
tlemen have the greatest desire to reach
a settlement.
We do not forget and no one in our
country will ever forget what we owe
to America for her splendid work to
VIGOROUSLY end the war and for the
generous help our people received from
citizens of the United States in time of
need. We neither forget and we feel
sure nobody on this side of the Atlantic
forgets the ties knotted between both
our countries at the end Of the eigh-
teenth century.
Now, if you wish, we'll go to work
as practical men, desirous to come to
settlement satisfactory for all ma
terial interests, worthy of the past Of
the two great nations, combined in
such a way as to fortify peace and help
the economic stabilization in the world. 7

GIVEN 90 YEARS
Lit Chapman to Appeal
Verdict for Shoot
ing His Wife

ABILENE, Tex, Sept. 24.-The jury
in the case of Lit Chapman, charged
with the MURDER Of his former wife here
last April, returned verdict Of 80
years in the penitentiary this morning
at 9 O'Clock. The case went to the jury
at 12:45 o'clock this morning.
Chapman was unmoved when the ver-
dict read. The state had made a
strong demand for the death penalty.
The defense pleaded for mercy and
sought a verdict Of not guilty on the
contention that no evidence had been
introduced to prove that Chapman did
the shooting; that if he did kill her
it was in self-defense, since she is al
legged to have made threats and that he
was temporarily insane.
An appeal will be made. Mrs Chap
man was shot while at her home here
last April.

EMPLOYE REPRESENTATION
OFFSETS LABOR UNION NEED
By B. c. FORBES

Can membership in an ordinary
labor union be of any benefit to a
worker in a plant having a plan of
employe representation?
Is it fair that the final decision in
disputes with workers should lie with
the manager?
These are two of the questions
fired at Stanley s. Ringer, the Gen
eral Electric toolmaker at the West
Lynn plant, when he addressed stu
dents of the Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology.
In his address, Mr.. Ringer describ-
ed the suggestion system in force.
told that all suggestions are passed
upon every week by n committee con-
sisting of five executives and one
employe representative, and explained
that awards last year ranged from 50
to $3.50, always paid as soon as sug-
gestions are adopted.
Question: Do you think employees
are satisfied with such a small per-
centage Of the saving?
Answer: / don't think they are.
/ think that soon or later the manage
HltHt Will Stt tHt WlSuOul VI DdyluS
a greater percentage Of the saving.
Question: What is the attitude
of employees toward charity or well
fare work?
Answer: The attitude Of employees
toward welfare work is one of sympa-
thy, because the company does not do
great deal of what is generally
known as welfare work. We have Il
permanent committee known as the
general joint committee on education,
investments and relief. Most of the
so-called welfare work which would
cause employees to be antagonistic is
now taken care Of by this committee.
Question: What is the attitude of
the union towards the plan of repre-
sentation, with its joint committees?
A. The attitude of the union gen.
orally is opposed to this committee
system as well as all other committee
systems outside of their own particu-
lar kind. But the union attitude as
applied locally to the work at Lynn
is one that goes along with it.
Q. Do you think this system will
