GENOA CONFERENCE ECONOMIES Dramatic Exit, Headed By Jewell; Burchmore Presents a Statement; Outsiders Attend Meeting Genoa. Prime Minister Lloyd George of Greut Britain and Foreign Minister Schanzer of I tidy addressed Monday a strong appeal to the Ilus-sla- n representatives at the conference here, urging them to accept the allied memorandum In Its main points aI'd promising Russia an International loan, with the understanding that the lending countries would thus prov'dj funds for the reconstruction of ltus-slo. The allies would claim the right to make sure, however, that the money loaned was actually invested In the work of reconstruction. It was asserted that altogether the proposed loan would amount to gold francs. It has been declared that the Kusslans were asking for 3,000,000,000 gold rubles, or twenty-fiv- e times as much as the allies offer. The Russian delegation had previously Issued a statement denouncing the efforts It alleged France and Belgium had made to wreck the conference. The statement called attention to the fact that these "powers, which were predicting tliat Russia's refusal to accept the memorandum would break the conference up, had not themselves signed the memorandum. . 800,-000,0- MANY HOMELESS IN MISSISSIPPI Relief Work is Being Done by American Red Cross Society New Orleans.

Naval $225,030,000 EF- Estimates for Expenditures in Principal Government Departments Are Severely Slashed by Budget Director Make Although executive beads of the railroad employees bolted from the wage hearing Friday at which outside organizations were allowed to present evidence oir behalf of the public. It failed to stop the presentation of the industrial side of the dispute, in which the National Industrial Traffic league asked the United States railroad labor board to throw out all controversy and revert the matter back to the employees and the corporations. The railroad men refused to sit In the hearing when J. H. Libby attempted to introduce the shippers' views. Frank P. Walsh, attorney for the employees, presented a protest to the labor board. In which he said the employees are not going to be placed In the position of being drawn into another hearing. The employees also presented a brio to the board. In which they protested the bringing in of outside parties not interested In the dispute. The whole controversy at the meeting hinged around whether the board had the right to bring in outside witnesses. In ruling that the outsiders had a right to lnervene, not as a party to the dispute, but as an outsider, Ben O. Hooper, chairman of the board, said: "The board holds that these parties cannot intervene here as par-tie- s to the dispute, because the statute does not authorize it, but the board has the power to hear such evidence. If it so desires, without obligating itself to do bo at other hearings. The board has in this instance not gone out of its way and asked these men to appear here. B. M. Jewell, head of the railroad shop crafts' nnions; E. F. Manion, head of the telegraphers; D. W. Holt of the signalmen; Timothy Healy of the firemen and oilers ; T. C. Cash in of the switchmen; J. C. Smook of the maintenance of way, and J. (J. Luhrsen of the train dispatchers, formed procession that got up and walk'.-out, with tho board still In session. After the exodus Mr. Burchmore presented his statement Mr. Burchmore said that railroad labor has been a preferred class, re ceiving wages "out of harmony to those paid to comparative employment in comercial industries." Mr. Burchmore also said the labor board should set aside all wage orders and decisions now in force and discontinue "the present hearings." If disputes have arisen, he said, "insti tute hearings properly conducted." The case now before the board grew from the request of carriers for authority to reduce wages of railroad labor approximately 10 per cent and to Include maintenance of way men, shop crafts, dining-ca- r employees, signal men, dispatchers and telegraphers In the cut "It is common knowledge," Mr. Burchmore said, "that railroad labor In many Instances has been a preferred class, receiving wages out of harmony to those paid to comparative employment in commercial Industries, and it is neither right nor to the pub lic Interest.

Copies of the applica tion of the Los Angeles & Suit Lake railroad to the interstate commerce commission for a permit to construct a branch line of the railroad in Millard county have been received by the public utilities commission and by Governor Charles R. Mabey. No application, it is held by local counsel of the road, is necessary to be obtained from the state public utilities commission. The petition filed In Washing ton reads in part, as follows: "That permission is desired to re tain the excess earnings derived from such new line. "That the reasons why the present and future convenience and necessity require or will require the proposed construction are as follows: "The territory traversed by the pro posed new line is not now served by a railroad. Formerly a grazing country, it is becoming an important agricultural section, due to the land being brought under irrigation. A considerable portion of the lands which will be served by the proposed line are at present under cultivation and a great many additional acres will soon be placed under Irrigation by means of projects now in course of development and construction. The territory, there fore, will require railroad transportation sen-icfor the marketing of its products." The filing is made pursuant to a de cision of the board of directors on April 2. The route and terminal of the new branch are described as follows in the application : "From the town of Delta to the town of Fillmorr, a distance of apmiles. proximately thirty-fiv- e It will not pass through any Incor porated towns or villages between the termini. The application is signed by C R. Gray, as president of the company. The blue print of the route accompanying the application indicates that after leaving the Delta station in an extended S curve the line will run straight as an arrow to a poiut near North Chalk creek, two miles directly north of the northern boundaries of f'illmore, Kbea the line runs directly-soutto a point one mile south of the same boundary line. The state law, as passed In October, 1910, at the special session of the legislature, provides that railroad corporations within the control of the commission that is, doing an Intrastate business shall apply for a certificate of convenience and necessity from the state commission also "provided that this section shall not be construed to require any such corHiratloii to secure such certificate for an extension within any cltyt or town within which it shall have heretofore lawfully commenced operations, or for an extension into territory within or without a city or town contiguous to Its and not heretofore served by a uibllc utility of like character, or for an extension within or t territory already served by it, necessary in the ordinary course of bus'ness."

No American oil tpwn had oil excitement than Genoa has had over the rumors that various oil greater agreements have been entered into by the bolshevik delegation. Petroleum Is gushing all over the Genoa conference, nothing has created such a stir since the Germans and Russians handed to the surprised conference their Easter treaty. Baku literally has been moved to Genoa, and Azerbaijan has been put on the map for diplomats who formerly had little idea where that republic on the Caspian was located. Certain districts never heard of until this week are being discussed glibly. The Russian delegation has denied that it has made any contract for the sale of its oil output. Everybody from M. Tehitcherin down has denied re ports of all contracts. Colonel J. W. Boyle, a Canadian officer, who represents the Royal Dutch and Shell companies here, which are reported to have signed contracts with the Soviets, has Issued repeated denials from the sick bed. The British government also has denied that contracts have been made with its knowledge, but the French correspondents will accept no denials, and are describing "the alleged treachery" which is supposed to have given the British control of the Caucasian output. It was expected that oil would be the greatest prize which the Russians could offer at Genou; consequently there is willingness to accept any rumors, and the air is full ot them. M. Krassin, although denying the completion of any sales or development agreements, frankly states that he is negotiating with oil companies In many countries. The Belgians formerly owned many oil properties In the Baku fields, and their objection to the Genoa conference's plan for deal ing with nationalized property In Russia belonging to foreigners is based to a considerable degree on their fear of in Caucasian losing thtlr Interests oil. The Soviets say they nie willing to grant concessions for oil development in small sections and are anxious to make the development regional, so as not to allow it to be monopolized. But there seems to be on absence of concession hunters at this time, as prospective Investors are not willing to take over the proierty which formerly was operated by other owners until definite arrangements are made for soviet recognition and the reimbursement of former owners, which wouid lave the rights unclouded.
