BY CARL VICTOR LITTLE.
Chicago, July 3.—Two million rail
road workers started to work for re
duced wages today as their leaders
met here to prevent. If possible, a tie
up ot the nation’s transportation Sys
tem.
One thousand executives of the
strong rail unions started their ses
sions to decide whether to accept or
reject the 3400,000,000 annual cut or
dered by the United States railroad
labor board to go into cfTert today.
Expect to Hold Men in Line.
Although the union leaders will
keep their own counsel until a deil
■ nite decision has been reached. It was
generally believed that they will exert
every effort to prevent a strike.
These are the reasons given for the
anticipated effort of union chiefs to
hold their men in line and prevent
a walkout:
Reluctance to add to the legions
of unemployed the vast number of
rail employes.
Knowledge that a strike would
not have popular support arid
therefore would be futile.
Recognition that railroaders
I must suffer the same as other
workers during tire period of re
adjustment.
It is definitely known by refer
endums taken in the railtoad de
partment of the American Feder
ation of Labor that the major ty
of the rank and file of rail woik
ers are against the 12 per cent
wage cut.
Timothy I-Iealy. president of the
1 stations: y engineers’ and oilers’ rr
i ganiration, announced as the sessions
: started that, ii.fi union had overwhelm
ingly vou-d to reject the wage cut.
Other unions have done likewise,
although official tabulation of ballots
have act been made public.
Concerning the strike votes of
utiions, President X,. K. Sheppard, o£
the conductors, stated:
"Strike votes lia'-c been recorded
before ai:d there has been no strike."
Members of the four big brother
I hoods have not yet voted on the Is
sue. They will not vote unless their
leaders in today's conference decide
to reject the cut, which ,s not consid
ered jikely.
Acceptance of the cut under pro
test is deemed the outcome of the
meetings here. It ts expected that
resolut ons. serving notice that the cut
W’ill be accepted on condition that the
working agreements, which outline
the pay for overtime and other work
ing conditions, be kept Intact.
Tha French remain warlike, de
spite four years of fighting. They are

BY ROBERT J PREY/.
London, July B.—“There Is ground
for the goo4 hope that whatever ap
prehension exists of perilous possi
bilities on the Pacific, may be dis
pelled sooner than is commonly ex
pected."
The foregoing statement was made
by CoL George Harvey, United States
ambassador, before the American
society at its Independence day ban
quet In the Hotel Cecil Sunday night.
Significance Is attached to the ut
terance In all quarters in view 0. the
reported effort of the British govern
ment to bring about agreements
among the United States, England and
Japi.ii for the regulation of all prob
lems revolving about the Pacific.
Ambassador Harvey also said:
"When, and if at all, that splendid
consummation shall have been at
tained in response to the universal
desire, disarmament will naturally
and inevitably come and peace on
earth will be assured for years at
least and maybe, forever."
Reference to Ireland. }
In his ref -rence to Ireland, Ambas
sador Harvey said:
• If George III had put forth a proc
lamation even approximating the el
oquent sincerity and appealing forco
of that jittered that day by George
V in Belfast in his fiathful endeavor
to reconcile a nation, there .would
have been no ringing of bells In Phil
adelphia ISO years ago nor many years
thereafter.”
Declaring there was not the slight
est desire to twist the lion’s tall cr
make the eagle scream, Colonel Harv
ey said mutual helpfulness cannot
be realized until two grave misappre
hensions are removed.
One of those misapprehensions ex
isting in Europe, the ambassador said
was that America is the only prosper
ous nation after the war.
Combatting this opinion, the am
bassador said that in 1916 the United
States had a debt of $10 a head whir1
today It is $200 a head. The cost
of the war to the United States, iie
stressed, was not far short of the
entire indemnity Imposed on Ger
many.
“America,” the speaker said, "has
her full share of mater.al bur
dean to bear for scores of years to
come iri addition to her grief over the
inc.~lcti .bly gr.ater loa3 of those who
perished in the scr.iee,"
The second mistpprehens'on, the
ambassador went on, exited in Amer
ica, when the people doubted that the
peoples of Europe were dong the ut
most possible for themselves before
seeking outside help.

Fail to Become Excited Whoa
U. 8. Formally Terminates
War — Ponder Over
Steps to Take.
BY KARL VON WIEGAND.
Berlin, July fi.—Germany received
the news that President Harding had
completed the peace after two and
a half years of an armistice with un
concealed pleasure, but with no mani
festation, excitement or enthusiasm.
Not a bell rung out not a whistla
blew, not a flag was raised.
Thera was a feeling of satisfaction
felt everywhere and expressed in gov
ernment and private circles, but no
thrill was felt. The public had wait
ed two years for that news.
Officially Germany does not yet
know that President Harding has
ended the state of war between the
two countries. Up to 6 o'clock Sun
day evening American Commissioner
Drexel had not received official ad
vices that the war was ended. For
that reason the American flag was
not raised on the former American
embassy, now ths home of the Ameri
can commission.
Germane Perplexed.
Mr. Dresel on Sunday gave a re
ception to a number of Americans
in honor of Independence day which
was well attended. The old flag of
the embassy, which hod been stowed
away, was taken out of Its four
years' storage. Its folds shaken out
und mude ready to raise.
The German government Is not
quite clear what Its step oug..t to fce
when the official American notifica
tion Is received through Commission
er Dresel or the Spanish embassy,
which has been acting for the United
States.
As Germany never declared war I
against America, nor oven acknowl
edged America's hostilities. It la ar
gued that Germany has no war with
America to declare off.
May Revive Trade.
The oueblion of sending a dlplo
matio • i “m «sentative to Washington „
In r.n official rr unolflcial capacity
will be the first step to be taken, hut
I wa to!d that in this, as in a'i other
moves toward realization of peace |
and normal relations Get many will
await Washington's Initiative.
The Impression prevails in official
circles that the negotiation nd sign- i
ing of a peace treaty is still oIf for
some months.
President Harding's signature on
the Knox-Porter peace resolution,
however. Is believed, to have removed
It*c barriers to trade between the two ,
countries.
