NEW YORK, October 20.—Congrat- ulations for the R oad Labor Board upon its success in averting a na- tional rail strike and praise for the union leaders upon their declaration not to fight the government, were in- ciuded in a message sent the board {v sterday by the Nutional Civic Federa- ion. ‘The federation's message declared that the board in its dealings with the railroad brotherhood leaders had vindicated the voluntary arbitration principle in the settlement of indus- trial disputes. The decision of the brotherhood leaders not to fight the #overnment emphasized, tl e message added, the striking contrast between American and European labor move- ments. Will Set Forth Position. CLEVELAND, October The “big five” raiiroad brotherhood chiefs re- turned from Chicago this morning and held a conference, at which they agreed upon a joint letter to be mail- ed to their entire membership, setting forth the position of the chiefs in call- ing off of the proposed railroad strike. The letter will be mailed next week, logetyer with the resolution adopted Ly thd final conference of the labor leaders in Chicago Thursday night when the strike was called off. None of the brotherhood chiefs had v comment to make on the general situation today. SACCO-VANZETTI HEARING GUARDED By the Associated Press. DEDHAM, Mass., October 29.—A mo- tion for a new trial for Niccola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, convicted of murder in the first degree for the killing of a paymaster and his guard at South Braintree, in April, 1920, was heard in the Norfolk county superior court today. Police guards, mounted on horses, on motor cycles and afoot, were thrown around the courthouse in nmabers, and inside the building a heavy guard of uniformed and un- uniformed officers was on duty. Deputy sheriffs and local police Entered as second-class matter post office Washington, D. C. FLAGS OF NATIONS COMING FOR PARLEY URGED TO BE FLOWN With delegates representing varfous nations at the interna- tlonal conference on limitation of armaments arriving in Washington practically dally, it was suggested today that local business houses arrange Immediate display of flags and colors of forelgn nations par- ticipating in the conference as a public demonstration of welcome to_the visiting delegates. Marshal Foch of France and Admiral Lord Beatty of Great Britain have already arrived, it is pointed out, and display of the flags of these nations is suggested as being'immediately suitable. The government bulldings will have displays of flags, which have been carefully worked out and co-ordinated by the office of Col. Sherrill, in charge of public build- ings and grounds, and many of the large business houses have already indicaled their intention to follow out the uniform color scheme of displaying flags of the forelgu natlous adopted by the govern- ment. BRITAIN GETS FINAL DEMANDS OF IRISH Peace Likely to Hang on Re- sult of Next Meeting in Conference. By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 29.—Final de- mands have been presented by the dall eireann delegation attending the Irish conference here, it was reported in London today. These demands, if conceded, would involve abrogation of the act which gave the Ulster gov- ernment control of the six northern counties in Ireland, but it was as- serted the government had intimated that acceptance of these claims was impossible. The issue has been re- ferred to Dublin. according to the re- port, and it was implied that the dail’ eireann answer, which is ex- pected by Monday st the latest, will probably be unfavorable. Views expressed by newspapers here today certainly were not encourag- ing. There appeaged to be an agree- ment by political correspondents that Ulster rather than sovereignty over Ireland was the crux of the situa- tion. ‘orehodings Are Gloomy. The London Times' parliamentary correspondent said: “In quarters thaj should accurately reflect the mind of the government gloomy forebodings were current yes- terday.” He spoke of pessimism in ministerial quarters, and that atti- tude seemed to be shared by most po- litical writers. It was not surprising under these circumstances, therefore, that some journals'again spoke of the improbability of Prime Minister Lioyd jeorge being able to attend the open- ing of the Washington conference. ‘Anxiety over Monday's debate in coinmons, especially its relation to the Irish negotiations, was reflected by today's newspapers. They emphasized the fact that an overwhel of confidence, which it was umed the government would recelve, would strengthen the hands of the ministry when its representatives again meet the Irish delegates. It was generally believed that the next meeting of the Irish conference would be of the utmost importance and show If peace were possibie. British representatives in the con- ference will, it is understood, conslder the Irish terms over the week end at Cheqguers_Court, the suburban home of Price Minister Lloyd George. It is improbable, however, that a_ definite decision will be reached until after Monday’'s debate in the house of commons, upon which it is believed the fate of the question of peace de- pends. The Sinn Fein high council in Dub- lin met last evening and did not ad- journ until midnight. It was stated today the council disposed of a num- ber of constitutional matters and questions of organization. —_— BRIAND STARTS FOR U. S. WITH FRENCH DELEGATES By the Associated Pres: PARIS, October 29.—Premier Briand and the other members of the French delegation to the Washington con- ference on limitation of armaments and far eastern problems started on their journey to America today. The French official party left Paris for Havre at 11:05 o'clock this morning, taking the regular boat train. Am- bassador Herrick, with the staff of the American embassy, was at the railway- station to say good-bye to the delegation. Virtually the entire diplomatic cqrps. the, various cabinet ministers and many senators and members .of the chamber of deputies crowded around M. Briand’s private caw and wished him well on his visit to Washington. The premier, in chat- ting about the prospects of theé in- ternational gathering, appeared in a very optimistic mood. The liner Lafayette, on which the delegation has taken passage, will sail late this afternoon for New York.

Keynote by President. President Harding's speech at. the opening of the conference, Saturday, November 12, following the Armistice day ceremonies of the 11th, is await- ed with keen Interest in diplomatic circles, as he is expected to sound the keynote of the broad American policy as well as welcome the members of the conference. The State Department has announc- ed definite postponement of the open- ing of the conference until the morn- ing of Saturday, November 12, instead of Armistice day, the 1ith, as originally planned.” Secretary Hughes, head of the American delegation ‘to the conference. will call the meetirg to order and President Harding will deliver an address. It is probable the meeting will then adjourn until the following Monday, when organization of the conference will be undertaken. The conference will meet for its opening session in the -hail of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion. As the seating eapacity of the hall is limited to 1,200, the general public cannot be taken care of, ex- cept through titkets obtainable from members of Congress and through the various embassies and Jegations. Compmittee Meetings. Meetings of the various committees appointed by the conference to study special subjects will be held in the Pan-American Union, the office rooms provided in the Navy Department for the usé of the conferénce delegations, or elsewhere as may be necessary,and it is to be éxpected that these meet- ings will not be open to_the public or the press except on special occasions, when the conference may decide that it-would be wise to throw them open. That question, however, can be de- termined only by the conference itself or the particular committee after it has been charged by the conference with a_special study. So far as the open sessions of the conference are concerned, it'was emphasized that the State Department was anxious to pro- vide every possible means of publicity in order that the general public’ could know what was transpiring. —_— AUTO USED IN $1,500,000 MAIL ROBBERY FOUND NEW YORK, October 29.—The. green automobile used by three bandits in last Monday’s $1,500,000 mall ‘truck robbery has been identified and the net is drawing close about at least one of the thieves, Chief Post Office Inspector Cochrane said today..It was indicated an arrest might be made night. -' S nformation concerning the finding of the bandits’ car was withheld, but it was learned that inspectors ana detectives on the case are inclining away from the theory that the rob- bers were members of a band.which committed mail robberies in other cities, and ‘are lsaning more -taward the theory that the hold-up was the work of local talent, -alded by ““inside” ,confederate. - 3 The cordlai and sincere expressions|old friende. —~ WILSON MAY BREAK SILENCE ONNOV. 11 Views on World Issues to Be Presented on Armistice Day. BY DAVID LAWRENCE, Woodrow Wilson will attend the fu- neral ceremonies at Arlington on Armistice day, when an unknown American soldier killed in action in Franee will be buried. The former Presjdent has not appeared at a pub- lic function since inauguration day last March, when he was too feeble to do more tham greet Mr. Harding In the President’s room +in the Senate wing ‘of ‘the Capltol. When the services at Arlington are | concluded Mr. Wilson will ‘proceed to "si#ia’ Aome, Where an informal demon- -gtration will.be tendered him by his 1t will be simllar to the affait on March 4. when thousands of people crowded the street in front of the Wilson home and paid their re- spects to the ex-President. The same committee of women who arranged | the demonstration last March is pre- paring this time to give Mr. Wilson a greater ovation. May Break lence. The former President has not said a word publicly in nearly nine months and there are rumors that he may break his ‘silence on Armistice day and give his views on world issues. As an_exponent of the idea-that the most_practicable way to get limita- tion of armament is through a league of nations, which by providing ma- chinery for the settlement of dis- pytes makes 1less mecessary arma- ment burden§, Mr. Wilson might make another plea for ultimate Amer- ican ‘ co-operation with the other powers of the world. On the other hand, Mr. Wilson has heretofore refrained from doing any- thing which might be construed as & re-entry on his part into the political arena, and while it {s known that many of his friends would be glad to have him express his views and give mo- mentum to the politics which he has championed, but which some of his own party leaders have been neglect- ing. there is no certainty what the former President will decide to do at the last moment. Soen to Pick Chairman. Meanwhile the democratic national committee méets mext week in St. Louis to pick 2 new national chair- man, as’Georgé White has indicated he would resign if a compromise be- tween the factions could be effected and a chairman selected who would not work for the .interestsof a par- ticular candidate, but the good of the whole party. The.rally around the Wilson home on_ Armistice day will bring many democrats to the National Capital It is said that two prominent Wilson supporters are bringing friends in specfal cara from distant points—all to pay -homage to the war President on Armistice‘day. - (Copyright, 1821.)

G— PREPARE FOR BID ONMORE SCHOOLS Wheatley and Eaton Work to Approach Contract Stage Next Week. Bids will be sought by the Com- missioners next week for two more of the school buildings authorized by Congress 1o relieve congestion in the public school system. . The new bids will be for a twelve- room addition to the Wheatley: School and. for an eight-room addition to the John Eaton School, including altera- tions to the existing building. The city heads, at the board meet- ing on Tuesday, probably will award & contract for the construction of the addition..to the Monroe School, for which bids were opened a week ago. Later inthe week & contract may be awarded for-the cemnletion of the Eastern High Bchodl, bide for which were opened & few days ago. Encouraged by Blds, Maj. Brown, assistant enginecer Commissioners, expressed satisfaction over some of the bids received, which he said, will make it possible to com- plete the high school at a cost of 27 cents a cubic foot, less than any achool building has been erected for since before the war. The municipal architect’s office, un- der the supervision of Maj. Brown, is working at full speed on the new school building In an effort to have as many additional classrooms as possible ready for usé when the next scl;:,vlauuc year opens in September, 1922, 2 Eastern High School Work. Completion- of the Eastern High School by February 1, 1923, was urged today by Daniel A. Edwards, vice president of the board of education. who has been instrumental in the campaign to have the building con- structed without further delay. Mr. Edwards has abandoned all hope of having the school ready for occupancy at the beginning of the new scholastic year in September, 1922. 1t is the belief of Mr. Edwards that if the work on new Eastern is rushed it can be completed by February, 1923, and it is considered likely that the Commissioners, in awarding the contract for the completion of the school, wiil set the maximum time limit for that date. It was pointed out the congestion at the present Eastern is growing more acute. This school was built to accommodate about 400 students, and the enroliment has gowe bevond the 900 mark. 1t i8 expected that at the beginning. of the next semester in February more than 1,000 students will be in the school. Double-Shift System. To provifle accommodations for the excess students a double-shift system has been. put into operation, and a vacant room in the basement of the Wallach graded school nearby has been pressed Into use. At the present rate of increase in the enrollment, school officials be- lieve when the new Eastern is opened the registration will be large enough to flll every seat In the school. New Eastern will have ‘accommodations for 1,500 students. e e GEN. DAWES’' MOTHER DIES. . MARIETTA, Ohio, October 29.— Mrs:R. R. Dawes, aged seventy-nine, mother of Brig. Gen. Charles G.

PERSHING Since: sgtting foot on American .soll: yesterday, Marshal Foch has witnessed a drama of American in- genuity, in . which Gen. Perghing has been the principal actor, that has kept his interest at white heat. The first act was the rushing of Gen.' Pershing into the port of New York ahead of the great French- man, in order that he might be on hand to greet his former compan- lon-in-arms.
