| FRANCE REFUSED LOANS BEFORE SETTLING DEBT Belgium Was Forced in Line by Same Method WASHINGTON, D. C., August 21.— ‘The J. P. Morgan company and other American bankers have reached an agreement with the Coplidge govern- ment that no private loans will be made to European countries until an agreement on settlement of war debts ls reached, it Is learned here. Tho government has served notice | “on Italy, which is trying to negotiate @ new $200,000,000 loan in Wall Street, and France, which is also seeking a loan, that no loans can be obtained. The Belgian government was forced to pay $727,880,000 debts to the Unit- ed States government under similar pressure, Before agreeing to settle, the Belgian government sought a loan in New York, and London, and was refused in both markets. Belgium demanded that her debts be transferred to Germany, as the Versailles treaty provided, but the American debt commissioners re- fused this plea. Finally a bargain ‘was struck whereby Belgium gave up claims for additional German repara- tions and the United States agreed to charge no interest on $171,780,000 of the total debt. The debt burden will fall heavily upon the Belgian workers i the form of taxes, it is admitted bytreas- ury officials here. The workers of Belgium Congo, 88 times larger than Belgium itself, and one of the most profitable colonies in the world, will be the worst sufferers. Word has reached here that finance minister Caillaux will depart for Lon- don Saturday, to settle France’s debts to England, and will come to Wash- ington in the fall to negotiate with the government. Caillaux stated be- fore leaving that the “great powers of the west are menaced from many sides” and a debt settlement is im- perative. France’s debt to the United States is $4,201,000,000. France will endeavor to bargain with Coolidge.on the basis that France is less able to pay than other countries. Italy, which is expected to send a debt commission here in the fall, is also making the same claim. Caillanx declared he is hopeful that the United States will accept German reparations indirectly as pay- ment of the French debt, thus shift- ing the burden from the French to the German workers. The agreement with Belgium must now be ratified by the Belgian parlia- ment and the United States congress. According to the schedule, if pay- ments are made promptly, the debt will be dissolved in 1987.

The winning over of 80 strikebreak- ers to the union by the expedient of praying for their salvation at the en- try of the mines has been so disas- trous that the mine operators have induced sheriff John Russell of Ok- mulgee county to issue a procalama- tion ordering the cessation of all prayer meetings and religious pro- cedure by the picketing miners and their wives and children. Disregarding the sheriff’s orders two union miners persisted in praying and singing and were forced to con- tinue their prayer meeting in the Ok- mulgee county jail. No charges were filed and the county attorney is up a stump as to what sort of a, misde- meanor this singing of hymns at a pit mouth constitutes. National guardsmen are on duty, but they can’t keep comfortable due to the patriotic frenzy of the religious picketers who insist on singing the Star Spangled Banner at regular in- tervals compelling the troops to snap to attention and the young lieutenant to jump to a rigid salute, Officials of the’ miners union say the religious revival will be continu- ed all summer, if the operators and nonunion workers refuse to be saved. In five mines that went openshop be- tween 500 and 1,000 union miners im- mediately went on strike rather than accept the 1917 scale. Each day at 4 p. m. when the strikebreakers quit work they find the road lined by a crowd of union men with their wives and chfldren. Apprehensively the strikebreakers walk down the road between the fixed bayonets of the militia. The union pickets carry American flags and their first act is to sing the Star Spangled Banner. The strikers stand with bared heads while the sol- diers present arms. As the anthom closes a hymn starts up followed by another and yet another. Then a striker steps forward and prays for the scabs: “Lord, let no harm come to these men. Hold up the mountain sides that no rocks may fall upon them. But lord, let thy light shine upon them and show them the blessings of unionism and the sin of depriving union men and their wives and fam- ilies of their daily bread. 0, lord, we pray thee, soften the hearts of ti@ mine owners and guide and. protect these soldier boys and let no evil enter their hearts. Let no harm come to their persons, but let the light of understanding and sympathy for the wives and children of striking miners descend into their hearts. And this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ who comforted the slaves of old, Amen.” And then, as the strikebreakers pass by, the strikers call out—not the jibes and jeers that have marked strikes of the past but the call to repentance: “God save your soul, Jim Pocatelli.” “God bles you, Tom Murphy.” And the soldiers polish their rifles and at the state capitol Gov. Trapp issues proclamation warning the min- ers against violence. From Fort Sill reinforcements are coming to deal with the “di: is situation.” There have been only two minor breaches of the peace in the past month at Henryetta, Religious services, the sheriff states must be conducted by regularly or- dained ministers and must not be used for the purpose of “annoying and intimidating the workers in the mines and other peaceably disposed citi- zens.” With the prayers comes enforced fasting, ominous for the wives and jchildren of the strikers, The district* union treasury is depleted.

Fundamentalist Oklahoma is shak- en. Why should the state jail these people who fast and pray and turn the other cheek? It is all right, they believe, to jail pickets but to jail evangelists is another matter. In the case of the striking coal min- ers arrested for praying for the salva- tion of the strikebreakers the Ameri- can Civil Liberties union of New York has taken a hand. It has wired Gov. Trapp of Oklahoma urging him to withdraw the militia and notifying him that the miners have been offered its legal and other services in behalf of the miners arrested for taking part in outdoor pravar meetings mantissa. New York Teach Teachers Demand More Pay in Vain, Board Stalls NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—(FP)—New York teachers are not likely to get any pay raise this fall, Chairman Ar- thur 8. Somers of the board of educa- tion budget committee made clear at the hearing granted teachers’ organi- zations to plead again for higher wages. The budget has to be in by Sept. 1, Somers says, and no revised schedule could be drawn up in the time left. He did not consider the Ricca schedules urged by teachers’ organizations, led by the Teachérs Union. The Ricca schedules passed the leg- islature, but were vetoed by Governor Smith on the grounds that the city had autonomy in the matter, Mayor Hylan, “people's mayor,” was supposed to have a smaller pay increase hidden in his bag of political tricks, But months have dragged by with teachers fighting continually for bet- ter pay and no word from Hylan or the board of education.

Should it be impossible for the joint commit- tee to amicably settle the difference they will report back to a joint meet- ing of the executive boards of Press- men’s Union No, 8 and the Franklin Union No. 4. ~ Third: In the event that the joint executive board of Chicago Printing Pressmen’s Union No. 3 and the Franklin Union No. 4 are unable to have the existing difficulty settled to the satisfaction of the agrieved union or unions they shall have power to immediately call upon their members working in the affected office or offic- es to cease working until the griey- ances have been adjusted satisfac- ory to both Chicago Printing Press- men’s Union No. 3 and the Franklin Union No. 4.

TEACHERS WANT RESTORATION OF THEIR COUNCILS Board of Education to Act on Petition MOBILE, Ala., Aug. 21.—Judge Rob- ized teachers of Chicago, numbering about 7,000, are watching the board of education’s rules committee, which has a petition from the Chicago High School Teachers councils to re-estab- lish the councils on school time. John A. English, organizer for Chicago Typographical Union No. 16, is head of the committee. The councils which the petition wants restored were held for 45 min- utes five times during the school year. They were established in 1913 by the former superintendent for the assem- bling of all the teachers in a school to discuss its problems. These coun- cils, however, were forbidden in 1924 to meet in school time by Superin- tendent William McAndrew, on the ground that the three and three-quar- ters hours a year consumed too much school time. The Chicago High School Teachers Council is an organization which rep- resents union and non-union teachers. Its work to maintain the councils is supported by the Federation of Wom- en High School Teachers, affiliated with the Chicago and Illinojs Federa- tions of Labor. The decision on high school councils will doubtless affect the elementary school councils. The Chicago Teachers Federation is there- fore also interested. The American Federation of Teachers, which favors “recognition of bona fide teachers’ councils, not company unions,” is also awaiting the decision.
