 When I wrote the first letter." ho continued, T feared that it would make friends over there angry, but not at all, They understood and con- tinned their friendship.
 If only the French government were like them. If only 1t under stood that we will never pay this debt because VIC cannot. But far from it.
 Why, had I been 4 hours late with the first letter, Premier Poin- care would have signed the debt agreemenD, and now what are they trying 10 do--abolish the Dawes plan. It is idiotic. But what do you expect when the government is filled with men without courage"

GALL OUT POLICE
 IN F|TCHBURG RIOT
Strikers Arrive in Cars in Mill
 Controversy

F'itchburg. Mass. May 5 (UP)- Police reserves were sent to the Falulah Paper Companys mill here today to quell the first disturbance following last nights walk-out of virtually all employees.
 The disturbance occurred when automobiles carrying about 20 sirikebreakers arrived at the mill. They were hoocd by strikers who had gathered outside the plant.
 Police were summoned but no trouble developed and peaceful picke1ing was resorted to by those participating in the strike.
 Labor leaders claimed that more than 200 enploycs were participant ing in the Walk-out, staged in pro- test against per cent reduction in the bonuses allowed for ovcr- produc- ton.
 Mill officials, however. declared that only about 75 workers were out and that the company had the sit uation well in hand
 Quit Work.
 Employcs in the coating and fin ishing departments went out last night and this morning were joined by packing department e'np'oyes, The company, of which Mayor Jo- aeph A. Lowe is secretary and gen eral manager had given the strik- CTS until l p. m. today 10 resume work,
 Union officials claimed that the ! per cent bonus reduction meant a cut of Ss 10 S1o per week in the cm- poyes' pay, but company officials described the reduction as merely an "equltable readlustment of the bonus scale"
 A committee of 12 strikers was to have conferred with Mayor Lowe to- day. but the executive declined to see them as q. group and the eu- ployes refused 10 discuss the situa- ton with him individually.
