PARIS APPROVES SPEECH. Press Comment Shows Hope of Progress Toward Accord. By the Associated Pre PARIS, March —M. de Fleuriau, French ambassador to Great Britain, has finished his consultations with Premier Herriot and other officials, and is returning to London today or tomorrow. The conferences have not resulted in the adoption of any cut-and-dried rul- ing as to the allied reply to the Ger- man guarantee pact proposals of con- tingent points concerning th Euro- Pean security problem, but the amb; sador takes back with him for presen- tation to the British office a clear idea of the principles guiding the French government. The have whether to reply posals by joint but are strivi allies not vet decided to the German pro- note or separately, g through the present exchanges to insuré' that the reply shall be, if not common in form, at least common in substance. Speech Well Received. The speech made by Austen Cham- berlain, the British secretary for foreign affairs, in the House of Com- mons last evening made a good im- pression in French official circles. This was by reason of its style rather than its substance, for it was re- marked there was little in his public declarations that he has not already communicated to Premier Herriot. The most reassuring feature of the British minister's speech, it was com- mented, was the disclosure that the British’ government realizes that it holds the key to the Security problem. Hope for Speedy Results. It is expected now that the allies soon will agree upon the question to be put to Germany in order that she may make her security suggestions clear and explicit enough to form a basis for discussion. M. de Fleurlau s fully informed as to the French viewpoint on all angles of the ques- tion and it is hoped the negotiations from now on may proceed with greater speed through the chance leries. The afternoon newspapers in comment find Mr. Chamberlain’s speech extremely satisfactory No government anxious for France's security and the permanence of peac says L'Information. can seek the negotiations initiated by London.

(Continued from First Page.) 4 or in Senate but the votes it. And if the tomorrow it would lock’s name Senate Must 0. K. The making of a recess appoint- ment, therefore, for Mr. Woodlock has back of it unusual circumstances. First of all, recess appointees whose names were rejected by the Senate when in session cannot draw pay for work they do unless a special resolu- tion is passed to compensate them There have been several cases of this kind and Congress probably wouldn't hesitate to pay Mr. Woodlock next December, even if it did reject his nomination. Mr. Woodlock is a Democrat. The spectacle of the Democrats fighting one of their own number will, in the opinion of Mr. Coolidge, glve the country an example of partisanship which will not reflect credit on the Democrats if they, together with the insurgent Republicans, reject the nomination. The opposition to Mr. Woodlock, as publicly expressed by the Democrats, is due to the fact that they felt the South should be represented in the partigular va- cancy of the commission being filled. The President offered it to two men in the South who declined for private business reasons. Having tried the South and having also read the statute which does not specifically bind Mr. Coolidge to pick a man from the South, the President went ahead with the appointment of Mr. ‘Woodlock. Other Factors in Figh There - are other things besides Soéuthern representation involved in the controversy. Mr. Woodlock has been a financial writer in New York, and has spent a good deal of time in Wall Street. The Democrats think he will naturally reflect the views of the financial and rafiroad world rather than the shippers and farmers. They do not openly say this, but that will be the reason why the Western in- surgent Republicans will fight Mr. Woodlock’s confirmation. Mr. Wood- lock is an authority on railroad finance. The railroads have always felt that the Interstate Commerce Commission should contain at least a few men who understand railroad finance. There are some important financial operations pending. The In- terstate Commerce Commission has become the regulator of American railroads, and approves some of the security issues made by railroads. All this is taken into consideration in making an appointment. President Coolidge feels that in Mr. Woodlock he has found just the man for the job. Provides Debate Topie. It all depends, of course, on the point of view. The Democrats, who have revived their coalition with the insurgent Republicans, are getting ready to blame the administration for the condition of agriculture due to high freight rates, and the Woodlock case naturally gives them something to talk about. On top of all of this are the sacred rights of the Presi- dent and the Senate with respect to appointments, a subject which affords an outlet for oratory 4nd argument. When Congress reconvenes it will start about where it left off, with a fight over the rights of the Senate. Mr. Woodlock may be the innocent vietim'of another war between the ex- ecutive and the legislative branches of the Government. Maybe by next December there will be more important Issues over- shadowing this one. Anyhow, Mr. Woodlock enters the duties of his job with a full realization of the fact | that he may lose it, but at the per- suasion of the President he has ac- cepted the the held special session of the immediately afterward were there to reject Senate were to meet reject Mr. Wood- post. RUDOLPH SUGGESTS PROSECUTION AS TEST OF EMPLOYMENT LAW (Continued from First Page.) much as your expose of these em- ployment offices. Shame on them. I hope they will be prosecuted to the limit.” Another letter was from the proprietor of an employ- ment agency, who declared she be- lieves she has done a real service in placing men and women in positions. The writer declared the income de- rived from the office nets a comfort- able living only for herself. The pro- prietor of a registry for nurses also | wrote to defend the ethics of that office, following the statement of a nurse's experience as printed in The Star yesterday. The voung woman letter that started the inquiry into the tactics of employment agencies here was in error when she indicated the large typewriter companies no longer conduct the free employment bureaus that were once part of their business, according the manager of a well known typewriter company, who wrote the following letter to the managing editor of The Star “Your article in The Sunday Star headed ‘Employment Agencies Found { Gouging Jobseekers Here' inadver- tently and probably by inference only does my company and the other repu- table typewriter companies a bit of injustice. “We conduct an employment bureau for stenographers, typists and office help, having a capable woman for tbis purpose.

A negro robber armed with a razor and H. J. Perry, employe of the Washington Granite Monumental Co., armed with a hammer, fought a thrilling duel on the sidewalk in front of the company's office, at 448 New York avenue, today, with the latter coming out unscathed, except for an ugly slash on his clothing. The robber gave up the battle when Mr. Perry struck him a hot blow on the side of the head with the hammer, as he wa leaping out of the way of a wide sweep of the razor blade. The assailant, who was not_iden fied, ran through a coal yard adjoin- ing and Into the alley section to the rear of Convention Hall, where police and detectives were scouring sheds houses and hiding places this after- noon in the belief that the fugitive did not venture far from the scene. Negro Was Rifling Safe. The fight between the company em- ploye and the colored man started shortly before 10 a.m., when the for- mer, coming through a rear door into the ‘front office of the concern, dis- covered the negro rifling the safe, the door of which had been left un- locked, but closed. There were no valuables the safe except a sheet of stamps, which the thief had in his hand when Mr. Perry suddenly appeared, hammer in hand, intent on repairing a window. Grabbing the intruder by the front of his overcoat, Mr. Perry soon was involved in a desperate struggle, dur- ing which the scene of operations gradually shifted from inside the of- fice to the sidewalk in front, There were but few Dersons on the street at the time and no eye-wit- nesses have been found of the typical life-and-death battle was being fought in broad daylight. Robber Draws a Razor. After several futile attempts by the thief to break from the grasp which Mr. Perry maintained at his throat, in the expectation that help of some kind would come, the robber suddenly reached into his overcoat pocket and drew out a long razor. “I broke my grip just in time bare- 1y to escape the sweep of his arm as he swung the razor at me,” Mr. Perry told detectives. “The razor ripped a gash through my coat, sweater and trousers, but missed my skin, and as I bent out of the way I landed a good blow on his head with the ham- mer. It must have cut him badly, as blood streamed out of the wound and over my hand. He immediately start- ed running, razor in hand, to the al- leys.” Perry was able to give police a good description of the thief. IR SHERRILL REVEALS PLANS FOR MERGER OF 2 U. S.
