Derlin, Edward Tracey, Eight Hour Day for France The April Chamber of the Deputies Associated this evening passed a bill establishing an eight -hour day, for workmen. The vote was by a show of hands after the chamber had adopted an amendment offered by former premier Briand providing that under no circumstances could employers make the reduction in working hours a pretext for a reduction in wages.

BURLESON COMES OFF HIGH HORSE (Continued from page 1.) under Mr. Burleson's. plan, grievances would be considered immediately and a decision reached without delay, Secretary Tumulty's telegram read as follows: "I was very sorry indeed that your committee did not deem it wise to act upon the suggestions contained in my wire to you of yesterday. "I trust that you will carefully read the statement issued by the Postmaster General this afternoon with reference to your situation. It appears to me offers a plan of adjustment, that your committee should in fairpractical "and just in every.

way--one ness accept. "I can 'personally assure you that under this plan your grievances will be immediately considered and a decision arrived at without any undue delay. Would it not be fair under these circumstances to all concerned for your committee advise the telephone operators under your control at once to return to work?" It developed to-day that Miss O'Connor's reply to Secretary Tumulty's previous telegram was misunderstood upon its receipt here because an error in punctuation, due to telegraphic transmission. As made apparently public in Washington yesterday, Miss O'Connor' telegram made it appear that she had advised submission of the proposed new wage schedule to the general manager of the telephone company. Instead, the telegram should have Tumulty's read that she received Secretary telegram in which the secretary advised submission of the schedule to the general manager.

Boston, April decision of General Burleson to place before William R. Driver, general manager of the New England Telephone Telegraph the wage demands of the striking telephone operators in New England, was made known to the strikers in a letter from Mr. Driver to-night. Mr. Driver asked the strikers' representatives to meet him "at an early hour" for a preliminary discussion, which "should terminate the present deplorable situation." The letter, which was sent to Miss Mary T.

June, Miss May Mahoney and Miss Birdie Powers of the Boston Operators' Committee, and Miss Helen Moran of Lowell, representing the organized operators outside the Boston district, follows: "I have Just received from the Assistant Postmaster General a telegram containing A statement given out this afternoon in Washington by the Postmaster General, copy of which is enclosed. As shown by statement, I am to notify all employees of the Postmaster General's statement and this I can only do through you as their representative at this moemnt. I 88- sume that they will receive advice as to the contents of the statement through the press. "In order that a preliminary discussion may be held which should terminate with promptness the present deplorable situation, I hope that you can advise me promptly on the receipt of' this that you will meet me at an early hour. I shall be glad to see you at my office if you so prefer." Boston, April Democratic leaders of Massachusetts to-day cabled to President Wilson calling uphim to "remove Burleson" and thereby.

settle the telephone strike. The message follows: "Burleson wrecking party. Remove him and settle strike." The appeal was signed by Francis Finneran, president of Massachusetts Democratic Club: State Senators Kearney, Cronin, and Counthan, Representatives Mitchell, Green, Donovan, McKenny, Reardon and Malone. Between 18,000 and 20,000 operators and other telephone employees are on strike in New England to-day, and the situation, grave" itself because of the paralysis the telephone system of five States, became more ominous when organized labor leaders here let it be known that the rank and Ale of labor 18 clamoring for drastic action. There is an unmistakable and growing sentiment among workers here favor of some move in support of the striking telephone employees.

It was openly predicted in many quarters that if settlement is not reached within a short time, a general strike of all labor in New England may be put into effect. Also, there is no mistaking the fact that the ranks of organized labor here are solidly arrayed against Postmaster General Burleson, who is bitterly assailed on every side for his attitude against, not only the telephone workers, but organized labor in general. Brunswick, April from office of Postmaster General Burleson was requested of President Wilson in a resolution adopted today at the annual convention of the Georgia Federation of Labor. The resolution was offered by the telephone operators' and electrical workers' union representatives and charged that Mr. Burleson, as director of telephone and telegraph lines under Federal control, had been unfair to organized labor.

U.S. MAY CONTROL CONSTANTINOPLE (Continued from page 1.) Denikine governments, They regard it as recognition of the Bolsheviki government and as giving the Bolsheviki authority to spend money from. the Russian treasury. But the members of the council took the position that the better. class in Russia, who 'are being starved by the Bolsheviki, must not be allowed to die, as they are necessary for the regeneration of that country.

The various political objections to sending food to Petrograd and Moscow have been weakening recently. The members of the Supreme Economic Council take the position that the millions of Russians about to starve must be fed on humane grounds, regardless of political considerations. Thin position has been strengthened by the general indisposition of the entente powers and the United States to send more troops into Russia.

Washington, April explana.

tion of information. given out yesterday regarding charges of misconduct on the part of American missionaries in Bulgaria and Persia, State Department officials said to-day that evidence most recently brought to the attention of the American board of commissioners for foreign missions at Boston related specifically to the cases of two missionaries who returned to the United States before hostilities ended and engaged in pro Bulgarian propaganda. Some time ago, it was stated, general charges of misconduct aga'net nearly all of the twenty-five or thirty missionaries stationed in Bulgaria were forwarded to the Boston commissioners. It has been assumed that the took steps to stop objectionable activities at that time. The missionaries in Persia whose attitude has been brought to attention of the Department are sald to be under the control of the Presby.

terian Board of Foreign Missions at New York. They are located in the northwestern part of the country and are alleged to have persistently interfered with local affairs, stirring up strife between Persians and Assyrians. In regard to the two alleged propagandists for Bulgaria, officials stated that Dr. James L. Barton, of the American board, acting as chairman of the committee for relief in the Near East and now at Constantinople, took cognizance of the activities of the missionaries at the time and ordered them to cease or resign.

One of the missionaries did stop propaganda work, it was said, and the other since has left the service of board. New York, April George T. Scott, speaking in behalf of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, denied to-day that any of the mis. sionaries representing the board in Persia had interfered in local affairs there as represented to the State Department. He said that instead of stirring up strife between Persians and Assyrians, as alleged, the Presbytrary sought to use their utmost efterian a missionaries had on the con.

forts to allay troubles between the various races in Persia. He said that eight missionaries had taking care driven of from refugees the of district various, races Urumiah in Northwestern Persia by the Turks and Kurds and others had suf. fered untold privation. One who had died was Dr. Will'am Shedd, appointed acting United States consul at Urumiah.
