It was understood that for the present the various states would he relied on for protection of workers and trains, but If any failed, the federal troops would be called out, and possibly soldiers and marines would be placed on the mall trains. The President Is determined to back jp the federal labor board to the full extent of his powers. four vessels of not more than 100 tons burden, each carrying not more than one gun. M King thought this an opportune tlrae to suggest to our government that the agreement be given permanency In a formal treaty.

' NOTWITHSTANDING the strong It appeared probable the allied reparations com- - mission would grant Germany's for-mal request for a moratorium on cash reparations payments, after the payment by Berlin of the $8,000,000 due on July 15. The amount was re-duced from $12,500,000 by the credit-ing of Germany with $4,500,000 on delivery of coal and dyes. The mora-torium asked is for 30 oonths and the prediction was thai It would be' granted on condition that the allies be given control (it Germany's finances during that pnd. The French asserted the collapse of the mark end the threatened financial downfall of Germany Is due to the Ger-man policy of Usuln, unlimited marks and to extravagant government ex-penditures, and that (he granting of a moratorium would not change the basic factors. They believe, In fact, that Germany has deliberately engi-neered her own Insolvency In order to obtain a reduction of the repara-tions bill. In Paris it was said the chamber of deputies would overthrow any cabinet that consented to a mora-torium unless there was a remission of the allied debts. BRITAIN has no Intention GREAT that her war debt to America be cancelled. Fremler Lloyd George has decided to name dele-gates at once who will come to Wash-ington to confer regarding the refund-ing of the debt in accordance with the terms of the Mellon. act. These delegates are to have plenary pow-ers and are to assure the United States officials that Great Britain does not consider the American debt as Involved In Europe's war debts or la the reparations. ' Gold shipments to pay the Interest will begin In August DODGING and squirming and replies to direct queries, the Russian delegates in the International conference at The Hague had, by the end of the week, brought that conference Just about to the hreaklng-u- p point.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD efforts to brmg to an STRENUOUS of railway shopmen were made last week by Chairman Hooper and his colleagues of the fed-eral labor board, but np to the time of writing these had been entirely un-successful and the status of affairs did not give much hope of an early peace. Late Wednesday night the rail-way executives took action that In the minds of many placed on them the burden of blame for the failure of ne-gotiations. They flatly refused to en-ter Into a parley with B. M. Jewell, leader of the strikers, and their rea-sons were held by Mr. Hooper to be In the main quite Insufficient. They de-manded that the shopmen abandon their strike and then proceed to set-tle their grievances- - through the tabor board. They declined to. meet Jewell on the ground that, the men having struck In defiance of the decision and order of the board and the controlling provision of the transportation art, "the Issue thus raised Is not one for consideration between the carriers and the representatives of the organized crafts on strike, except through the further orderly processes before the United Slates railroad labor board, as contemplated by the transportation act" Unbiased opinion will agree with Mr. Hooper's statement that the execu-tive gave no reason that would satisfy the pwbllc. He continued: "In so far s the declination Is based on a desire to preserve the authority and dignity of the railroad labor board. It Is super-fluous. The labor board will endeavor to take care -- of Itself In that regard. The statement In the letter that the strike Is a refusal to accept the results of the srbltratlon of the rail-road labor board," falls a little short of accuracy. One of the questions In-volved In the strike Is violation of the boards decisions by certain car-riers. P. Is true nearly all of the car-riers have discontinued this practice, but some of them have not." Chairman Hooper Intimated that new peace plans of the board Involved appeals to the railway lines Individu-ally. In many parts of the country, es-pecially the Middle WefcC T(-as- , and on the Pacific coast, the disorders due to the strike became Increasingly vio-lent, and a numlr of men were killed. In several states the militia was called out, and in some localities, notably Bloomliigton, 111., the engi-neers, firemen and trainmen rebelled On Thursday, at the direction of the President, Secretary Weeks or-dered troops held In readiness to pro-tect the lines of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road in Texas, where op-erations were Impeded by lawlessness and violence. This was In response to on appeal from the receiver of the railway who was appointed by a Unit-ed States court. Announcement was made by the Post Office depaitmeiit that If every mall train sbtd cense to run, It would continue to transport malls by motortrucks and airplanes. The de-partment has 50 planes, and the gov-ernment owns thousands of trucks belonging to various department In response 10 the President' proc-lamation the executive conncll of the shopcrafts unions sent him a long telegram setting forth the grievances of the strikers. The labor board was, by implication, charged with partial-lty- , and the railroads were accused of specific violations of the law and of disregarding the orders of the board. The workers, It was asserted, have been and are ready to negotiate with the railway executives and struck only as a last resort. "We re-spectfully Insist," continued the tele-gram, "that no Interruption of com-merce or Interference with the malls Is caused by direct or unlawful acts of organised employees. Such Inter-ruption and Interference results In-evitably from attempts of railroads to operate with Insufficient, Incompetent and unskilled workmen." At the close of the week all that prevented an Immediate strike of the maintenance of way men was the determination of their president, E. F. Grable, to keep them at work for the present. A majority of their gen-eral chairmen had requested that they be called together to plan for a walk-out. The stationary firemen and oilers decided to quit work on July 17. was facing an almost CHICAGO tleup of Its local trans-portation facilities. The surface street car men already had voted to strike against a wage reduction of 20 cents on hour, and on Thursday the em-ployees of thj elevated roads aleo voted for a walkout. The unions agreed on a Joint policy and plan of action, and there was hope that fur-ther negotiations might svert a strike. The situation was complicated by local politics and the deBlre of some of the city ofllclals that the tnunlcl-pall'- y should take over the surface roais and operate them. '"pHUS far only partial success has been nchlvwl hy President Hard-ing In his attempt to end the coal strike. The anthracite operators sub-mitted what he regarded as a com-plete acceptance of his pnn of arbi-tration, but the bituminous operators and the miners union had not at this writing sent in their reply. Govern-ment officials thought both sides were directed toward rupturing the solidar-ity l of the so that they might lay the blame for failure op some and then enter separate nego tlations with others, especially the British. In this they seemed to have failed, for the British stood solidly with the French and others In the de-mand that the Russians recognize the pre-wa- r debts, give guarantees for fhe credits they asked, and state defi-nitely on what terms they would re-store foreign property to Its owners. All tiilH the Russians refused to do, and tlielr attitude made so useless further continuation of the confer ence that many of the delegates an ranged to start for home at once. ALTHOUGH the Irish Free State successfully "mopping upf' the rebellious republicans, the disorder In the Island Is still such that the first session of the new parlia-against working ment has been postponed again Until under military guard. Sympathetic strikes were talked of. The leaders of the brotherhoods held everal conferences and said their men vould continue to operate trains up to the point whre the military occu-pation began. President Ilelt of the railway sig-nalmen announced that his organiza-tion had postponed striking pending negotiations with the labor board which are nnw.nndw way. On one Eastern road all tt-- clerks struck. evading an Immediate decision with the Intention of rejecting the settle-ment plan If public opinion seemed to approve such a course. Two con-ditions to the anthracite operators' acceptance were that a seporate com. mission consider wage scales, and that the commission render Its de-cision by August 10, they agreeing to pay In the meantime the scale of March 17.
