that about all the United States can do,
or will attempt to do is to offer its good
Offices toward the desired end. We
have no Army or Navy to reduce be-
yond present dimensions. We are ready
some day to join the rest Of the world

military and naval establishments, but
under no circumstances are we pre-
pared to take or give any spectacular
lead in that direction.
Ardent American peace advocates and
disarmament zealots are headed for
disappointment If they expect any more
aggressive policy than this to be advo-

associates at Geneva. Secretary Stim-
son told the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee that President Hoover has ap-
pointed practical pacifists" on our
conference delegation. BY that he
means that Americas spokesmen at
Geneva will yield to no other delega-
ton in the desire for results, but that
they are realistically conscious that, at
this critical hour in world affairs, the
United States defense establishment is
not subject to curtailment.

Unions and Carriers Resume
Exchange of Letters
on Proposed Cut.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associa ted Press,
CHICAGO, December l9-Labor and
the railroads resumed their exchange Of
letters on the subject Of wages today,
the brotherhoods noting that apparent
ly the two groups were in a state Of ''ir
reconcilable disagreement" on the right
of the railways to serve notice Of in
tent;on to change the basic rate Of pay.
Nevertheless, the employees suggested
that the present temporary 10 per cent
cut be extended for exactly one year
With all the terms of the Willard
agreement" Of last January 81 in force,
This amended proposal Of the labor
delegates to the joint wage conference
was set forth in a letter from Alexander
+. Whitney, brotherhood chairman. to
W. F. Thiehoff, Burlington general
manager and conference chairman.
The employees have contended that
the Willard agreement forbade the
railroads to give notice Of any basic
wage change.
They affirmed their stand on that
point in the lstter but they withdrew
their proposal that the carriers concur
in their view. The letter said 1t would
be understood that each side reserve
every right and accept every Obligation
which they hid under the original
agreement and during the period OF it.
The unions raid they did not wish to
settle at this conference the question OF
whether the carriers could propose at
any time a reduction Of basic rates.
Labor expressed its h-pe that finan-
cial conditions of the roads might i'm
prove so much that they would agree
rot to lower the basic rates by saying
that the principal cause Of cur present
difficulties may in time disappear"
Your committee and our organiza-
tions are in agreement upon a will
lingness to extend the Willard agree
ment for O period, but have not yet
agreed upon the length of the period,
Whitney wrote.
The carriers have proposed three
times an extension of the 10 per cent
deduction for six months, agreeing not
to serve notice OF a cut until July /,
80 days from its expiration. The roads.
however, want the current deduction to
continue during negotiations of future
basic rates which might take months.
They have warned that they consid
cred the 10 per cent cut inadequate

BOILER INSPECTION ..
IN D. c. DEBATED.
Salary Instead of Fee for In

of Rate Considered.

Proposal to have graduated charge
OF from So to SIS on inspection Of boil
ers in the District. instead of the fiat
$5 rate as at present. and to change the
boiler inspection service frCm fee rate
to fiat salary rate for the inspectors,
was considered before the Palmisano
subcommittee Of the House District
Committee today.

spectiCn.
The insurance companies. represented
b. H. j. Drake and j. T. Kerr gam
sought TO have the bill amended so ss
to relieve from the necessity for this
inspection by District agents any boiler
which is insured. They argued that this
double inspection is hardsh p on those
who are endeavoring to promote safety
through the strict inspection made by
the insurance companies and that as
matter of fact the two inspections are
made at one time so as to avoid the
necessity of having the p-cperty owners
dump their fires twice. They argued
that it is unf9ir to make boiler owner
pIy for double inspection
Mai Hugh P. Dram. Assistant En-
Eineer Commissioner. under whose ad-
ministration the boiler inspection service
falls, represented the Commissioners in
indorsing the legislation.
The representatives of the insurance
companies said that the exemption that
they urge is in force in practically every
State which has mandatory inspection
law This contention was Endorsed by
Charles E. Gordon. representing the
American Society of Mechanical En-
gmeers. representing most of the boiler
manufacturing companies. He advocat-
ed that there should be only one in
spection required and said that the in
surance companies are best fitted to do
it and that their inspection is a more
rigid one.
Representative Black urged that a
compulsory insurance for boilers would
promote public safety and that as the
insurance companies make a rigid eX-
animation. the District could be relieved
from operating a boiler inspection
service.
There was a general agreement to re-
port the measure which would do away
Nth the fee system and would put the

AS DRY LAW ENDS
California Governor Says Re-
peal Vote JuStifieS
Pardoning.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Calf. December 49,.
Gov. James Rolph, jr.. signed 1873
pardons today releasing 1913 men and
women viclators OF the repealed Wright
prohibition enforcement act and five
violators of the Jones still act from
city or county jail. The f1ve Jones
act violatOrs are also serving concur
rent Wright act sentences.
Some of those pardoned have been
at liberty while paving fines on the
installment plan in lieu Of jail terms.
California was without State prchi-
bition enforcement law today for the
first time since 1922. The repeal vote
was l,459, 835 cast last November Offl-
cially expunged the Wright act from
the statute books at midnight
Gov. Rolph said he fees the over
whelming repeal vote Justifles his
Christmas pardons.
Old Rules in Effect.
City and county liquor prohibition or
dinances that were operative before the
Wright act was enacted we're again In
effect today, Attorney General U. S
Webb ruled. Several cities and coun-
ties already have taken steps to repeal
such ordinances.
The Governor asked all California
district attorneys to give him lists OF
violators in Jail.
The responses named more than 200
men and women. lis Of whom were
incarcerated in Los Angeles County.
The Governor set attorneys to work
studying each case, and some were
weeced out because they were re
peaters" or wholesalers"
Inquiry About 68 Others.
The Governor had also asked the
State Board OF Prison Terms and Pa
roles If anything could be done TO re-
lease about So prisoners serving SEN
tences in San Quentin or Folsom Peni-
tentiaries for violating the act.
He was told this is doubtful. for in
most cases the prisoner has more than
the liquor charge against him or is a
"two-tlme loser"
The effect Of the repeal as interpreted
by State legal authorities will be to
throw the greater responsibility Of pro-
hibition enforcement into the hands OF
fewer than 100 Federal agents in Cali
fornia. excepting in cities or counties
where prohibition ordinances remain IN
effect and local officials wish to en-
force them.
