Creditors May Never Be Ratified Reich Demands Sarre Valley and Rhine PARIS, June 5.—Owen D. Young, chairman of the General Electric Co., and “unofficial” representative of the U. 8. government yesterday gleefully anounced that all the gov- ernments involved would sign the reparations report of the Dawes} Plan board of experts Friday. Young gave obvious evidence of | his belief that he and Morgan, the! other unofficial expert, had done a} good stroke of business. About 23 Billion Dollars. It is generally agreed that there will be some time later this year another conference of experts in London, probably, to work out the detailed application of the extor- tion scheme. It is taken for granted | in this plan for a second meeting that all the governments will sign, though this is not certain by any means. Under terms of the plan, Germany will make annual reparations pay- ments to the allied nations for a period of slightly more than 58) years. The total sum to be paid over that period is 36,996,000,000 gold marks (approximately $8,812,- | 447,200) when figured in its present cash value. The actual sum which WNY. poe _ New Yorw,.N.Y.

The story was told yesterday at the Moreland probe by Count Ar- jturo Magnoni, friend of the late |grand-scale swindler. Additional evidence indicated that the Tammany-fascist alliance had no qualms about using gunmen rather than risk more incriminating evi- dence on the corrupt relationship from leaking out. Anthony Di Paola, Ferrari aide, had established headquarters at the Banking De- partment offices at 51 Chambers St. rather than show up for duty at the Harlem branch of the defunct bank. “I must give money to that man,” Ferrari had told Magnoni as the two drove along Lexington Ave., en route to the pier, where Magnoni planned to take ship for Italy.

Demands for government regula- tions of the plant providing 40-hour ik, wage increase, abolition of speed-up, absolute safety, guaranty of the right to organize and full compensation for dependents of the victims of the plant, were presented to the city government. The vehement protest of the work- ers who attended the board meet- ing compelled the bosses’ political friends at least to listen to the de- mands.

J., June 5.—The strike of the workers of the General Cigar Company here is gathering momentum. With 800 al- ready on strike, efforts are being concentrated on pulling out the few that have remained at work and it is expected that these will shortly join the ranks of the strikers. The police, tho they have re- frained thus far from any active terror against the strikers, ar in to intimidate the strikers. a stone-throwing scuffle took place strikers’ children who were aided by some of the strikers. The police immediately rushed on the scene and pushed an innocent bystander. About 500 strikers were present at the time and they joined in vociferous booing of the police. The workers are fighting against the slave conditions at the General Cigar Company factory. Efforts to lengthen their hours from the pres- ent schedule of 7:15 a, m. to 5:30 p.m. to from 7 a. m. to 6 p. m. was the spark t/at set fire to the re- volt. They are also demanding wage increases of from 75 cents per thou- sand for machine workers to 75 cents, and from 661-2 cents per hundred for hand workers to 70 cents. The strikers are being aided by the Trade Union Educational League.
