She accepts France's conditions, quite as the cap- tain of a baseball team will agree to play on a muddy field if he has the chance to get some fine player into England does not like limitations on the confer- ence plan, but Secretary of State Hughes and I"rance are in full accord in regard to most of them. For one thing there has never been any dis- position in the keen mind of the lawyer, Hughes, to question the power mission as a continuing body. He in- sists that the American on the con- ference board shall act with that board only in an advisory capacity as the board itself should act. This is Premier Poincare’s view. It is the ize what agreements are binding and what are not. It is to be noted, in- cidentally, that Premier Poincare is a lawyer, also.

For As The the ca fought. se sternation and discouragement Washington as the pessimists declared President Coolidge believes n it would, the conference will be of value. Ever the long advocated irreconcilable Dorah, who has an international eco- nomie conference, is not against this move although he declares it would not do as much good as his own plan » would—which is to be expected.

COUNTER PROPOSALS Transportation Brotherhoods Report That Railroads Make Own Recom- mendations to Wage Raise Requests By The Associated Press. Cleveland, Oct. 31.—Hecads of the transportation brotherhoods have heard from several hundred railroads throughout the country in reply to the train service employes’ request for in- creased wages and the replies in most overy case show uniform counter pro- posals to consider the elimination of {he payment of time and one-half for overtime, and other working rules, D. B. Robertson, president of the broth- erhood of locomotive firemen and en- ginemen said today. A number of contracts between the brotherhoods and railway systems ex- pire today but brotherhood officials sald the ncgotiations for wage in- creases with these roads would con- tinue. Many other contracts between the railroads and the brotherhoods do not expire until' December 1, next. The brotherhoods are secking the |restoration of the 1920 scale, an in- crease of approximately 12 per cent over the present wage. | EVERETT TRUE | l Food riots, cables tell us, are shows a riot in progress in a effective, QCET OUT AND PUT IT on THE SQUEA e oceurring in many cities of Berlin market place, Green WORKERS USED, Are Accused of Carrying Messages in Recent Greok Outbreak, | Athens, Oct. 31.—~Newspapers here | suy that Mesars, Jaquith and Jackson of the Near Kgpst Rellef served as the medium for an exchange of let- ters on October 24 between Commo- dore Hadjikiriakos and General Leon- ardopoulos, leader of the recent in- surgent movement in the Pelopon- nes: The two relief workers went to Corinth ‘to ensure the safety of the orphanage there in the fighting be- tween the mutineers and government troops. They were stopped &t the Corinth canal and taken aboard the warship Averoff. When Commodore Hadjikiriakos had ascortained their | identity he requested them to take a sealed packet to General Leonardo- poulos whose headquarters were in Corinth. The Americans fulfilled this commission, obtaining the general's reply which they handed to the naval officer on their return journey after having visited the orphanage. GREECE NOY ENTERED. Paris, Oct. 31.—Greece has decided not to send a team to Paris for the 1924 Olympic games and has so ad- vised the French Olympioc commit- tee. The financial consideration in- volved is the reason for the Greek abstention. Thus the country which was the cradle of the Olympic games and the originator of the marathon race will not be represented at the cighth revival of the games. Winding 256 miles of string into a ball half his height is a feat wupon which a 77 year old man bases his claim for the world’s string-winding championship.
