The- letter concluded with an argu- jnent that the strike was not against railroads, but against the gov- rnment as represented by the Rail- road_Labor Board. O. H. Braese, vice president of the merfcan Train Dispatchers’ Asso- ation, announced last night that the | «dispatchers would take no part in the proposed strike. The statement followed a conference with dispatch- “rs of the eastern district, at which, Mr. Baese said, the sentiment against walkout was unanimous. “That {8 no sign that we are con- demning the attitude displayed by ihe other brotherhoods, however,” he dded.

Housing Official Guests. Arrangements being made by the ‘Washington Real Estate Board for hous- ing 200 official guests of the govern- ment during the Armistice day ex- lercises were explalned at the semi- monthly luncheon of the board this afternoon in the La Fayette Hotel. It was pointed out to the realto that the housing committee, headed by Percy H. Russell, expects to have !a” complete list of accommodations {for the 500 visitors ready in time to tallow the War Department to notify each guest of the quarters assigned ihim, with a view to eliminating ex- citement and misunderstandings upon the arrival of the men in Washimgton. In order to carry out the housing functions allotted the real estate board, it was emphasized that the co-opera- tion of all realtors was essential. It was stated that the guests will be in { the city only a few days, and that lit- i tic trouble should be experienced in finding the required rooms for this short period. The realtors were told that the government has been assured that Washington real estate men will not only assist in securing the neces- sary quarters, but will see to it that rents asked are reasonable. Col. Charles Keller, newly appointed Engineer Commissioner of the District, was the guest of honor at today’s luncheon. He pointed out the necessity for co-operatidh of the realtors in con- i nection with carrying out the duties devolving upon him. John L. Weaver was the presiding officer, introducing Col. Keller.

Charles Keller, the new Engi- neer Commissioner, was elected chair- man of the zoning commission at a} meeting at the District building this morning. Followiug the election the commis- sion hel@ a public hearing to consider several requests for changes in the zoning of individual pieces of prop- erty in various sections of the city- The principal item was a request of the George B. Mullin Company to change the designation of property adjoining its present plant near 13th and Taylor streets to make possible an extension of the plant. The commission also heard argu- ments for and against a proposal to change to second commercial jgoper- ty on the north side of Pensyivania avenue southeast between 15th street and Kentucky avenue. A request to change to second com- mercial the character of the property between 1st and 3d, Q and R streets northwest, was postponed until a later hearing.

The meet- ing will be held after the cabinet meeting, and Secretary Hughes, who will attend both, will bring to the American delegation the views of the cabinet on data presented. State Department officials regard the agenda suggestions heretofore put out by the United States as prac- tically accepted by the participating governments and feel that they now stand as the basis for the work of the conference and in general terms a broad outline of its scope. This does not constitute a rigid formula, how- ever, it is explained, and does not mean that additional proposals will be barred. Tokio Cables Arouse Interest. Tokfo cables reporting that the Japanese delegation has been in-| fmmigration question before the conference cre- ated Interest in official and diplo- matic circles today, but brought no comment from governmental sourc The point may be raised that imm tion, not relevant to an international conference, such as the coming one, and \subject to negotiation directly between the two nations concerned. The Japanese are expected to make strong insistence upon the omission of several subjects from considera- tion by the conference, on the ground of relating to facts accomplished. This contention is open to decision by the conference and it is thought the Japanese may finsist that the confer- ence also shall decide whether fmmi- gration is germane to discussion in the conference. lmmigration was not included in the agenda. Within the next few days a state- ment will be forthcoming from offi- cial sources acquainting the public with the details of such plans as the government, as the host of the con- ference, may be expected to make. Cable dispatches announcing some of the personnel of British and French delegations to the conference were read with interest by officials here.

Already there is a nation-wide movement under way for open ses- ions of the conference.

Any attempt to reduce the active participants in the conference to a “big four” or a, big any other number than the entire representation of nations will bring immediate protest, it is said, from the voluntary observation organizations, that have been created in this coun- try and that will have committees on ! the ground.
