PARIS, October 5.—Hostilities on a large scale appear to be poesible in the Balkans, according to Charles Hitchcock Bherrill of New York, for- mer United States minister to Argen- tina, who has just returned to Paris from a trip which took him to Bucharest, Belgrade and Budapest. “I am amazed,” said Mr. Sherrill to- day, “to find in Rumania what may be called a ‘levee en masse.’ He declared that Rumania was ex- plaining her action by saying that it had become necessary to declare martial law in Bessar: and Tran- sylvania, the former tefritory having been received by Rumania from Rus- sia and the latter from Hungary by virtue of treaties following the world war, He added that Serbia’'s action ‘was being explained by affirming that military action was required in Bos- nia and Hersegovina. Mr. Sherrill, who said he saw vari- ous foreign ministers of Balkan states and had an opportunity of personally observing conditions, declared: “Not only Is the uniformed army mebilised, but also at railway stations there are platoons of men with rifles and am- munition, but no uniforme. Authori- ties at- Budapest say the Rumanians have 600,000 uniforms with accom- panying equipment. It is probable that the forces mobilized would ex- ceed those figures. Troops may be seen everywhere in Serbia, he declared, even marching through the capital, Belgrade. There are 49,000 Russian refugees in Serbia, he added—in Belgrade; there is a large number of officers, including 450 gen- erals, as well as a number of troops of Gen. Baron Wrangel's army, which, he declared, had been taken into the Serbian gendarmerie. Budapest believes, said Mr. Sherrill, that the difficulty in Burgenland may be seized at any moment by the Slav states to the south in order to enable them to enter that disturbed section and thus to establish a corridor through to Czechoslovakia and other Slav states on the north, which corri- dor was requested by the Slav states at the Versailles peace conference but wae refuses CONSIDERING TRIBUNAL ON INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS The establishment of a federal tri- bunal of industrial relations, to bring labor and capital into more harmoni- | i ous action, is being considered by members of the committee on educa- tion and labor of the Senate. A bill providing for such a tribunal prob- ably will be drafted and introduced. Senator Kenyon, chairman of the com- mittee, has suggested a plan for the tribunal. His plan proposing a “‘supfeme court of industry,” with deereés enforced by public opinion and not through pe- na) statutes, is to be brought up in connection with the committee’s re- port on the West Virginia mine dis. orders. Senator Kenyon is chairman of the subcommittee conducting this inquiry, and also had charge of the committee’s investigation into the steel strike. Explaining his plan today, Senator Kenyon said that it contemplated en- actment of an industrial code, defin- ing unquestioned rights of both laber and capital. This code would grant rights of collective bargaining, peace- ful picketing and immunize non-union men from interference. A fundamental of the plan and lnl only compulsion statute, Senator xnI yon sald, - would be prohibition of strikés during periods of investigation by the federal tribunal. This is sim- flar to the Canadian law. Senator Kenyon plans after consultation with and adoption by other labor commit- teé members to introduce a bill con- taining the outlines of the plan. i MISSIONARY SOCIETIES HOLD ANNUAL MEETING Thirty-five auxiliaries ate partici- pating today in the annual meeting of the Woman's Home Missionary So- ciety of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the first session of which lwu held this afternoon at the Foun- dry Church, 16th and Church streets northwest.

When Mr. Minor made the plea that the gas company did not have the money to finance so large an extension at this time Col. Kutg reminded him that such an expenditure for new mains wouid be added to the fair value of the company's property, on which the company is al- wwed to earn a return of 7 per cent. “1f you are allowed to capitalize this expenditure and earn a return of 7 per cent on the value of the property through the rates fixed for gas, it real- ly wouldn’t cest the gas company any- thing, would it?" asked Col. Kutz. Sepatrate Corporation. Mr. Minor replied that the George- town Gas Light Company must be con- sidered as a separate corporation from the Washington company. the Georgetown company has not since 1917 earned its bonded indebtedness, much less a return on its investment, and that it would have to sell bonds to get the money ,to carry on this ex- tension. He declared “Now, if you will show us where we can sell those bonds, we would be very glad to have you do so,” said the attorne; “I'm sure,” said Col. Kutz, “that these good peoplé would dispose of gas company bonds at 7 per cent. Mr. Minor réminded the Commis- that Washington Gas Light Offer te Buy Bends. A.

Mr. Minor, called attention to the fact that this requirement would make the extension even more costly. Col. Katz asked the attorney if the company does not already follow that practice on all streets where car tracks exist. James B. Cochran reminded the compaany that they must not figure | only on the present houses in the Conduit road scetion. 1 many more homes would be erected i police. he confessed to a number of declaring that n that section immiediately if gas service was extended.

Castillo, one of the Conduit road delegation took the floor and of- fered to buy $1,000 worth of gas bonds at_7 per cent. ON UNENSPLOYMENT ‘The emsrgency com.nittee on unem- ployment in the District of Columblia, appointed yesterday by the Commis- sioners, will be enlarged, and each member of the larger committee will be urged to constitute Eimself a job- recruiting agency, Commissioner Ru- dolph announced today. The first meeting of the committee will be held at 3 o'clock this afternoon at the District building. The committee is expected to immediately put in motion plans for relieving the unemployment situation here and suggest the names of additional members of the larger committee, who will represent each section of the city. The Commissioners today notified the President’s unemployment con- férence of suggested plans for re. leving unemployment in Washington.
