In accord with the expressed direction of the house, the conferees eliminated the dye embargo licencing provision, which they previously had reinserted into the bill and the one and one-half cents a pound duty on potash. In lieu of the embargo, the managers increased the rates proposed on dyes and synthetic chemicals and medicines, the products of coal tar.

For the first two years the duties would be seven cents a pound and 55 per cent ad valorem on intermediates and seven cents a pound and 60 per cent on the finished products, while after two years they would be seven cents a pound and 40 per cent on the intermediates and seven cents a pound and 4 per cent on the finished products.

Gompers, presl-dent of the federation said: "The council today opened Its campaign against all who prove untrue to the people's constitutional rights and who would use their positions of pub. He trust to promote purposes foreign to and in conflict with the legitimate functions delegated to them in representative capacities."

"Every possible effort will be made to urouse the people of America to the necessity that. government by injunc-.

"The executive council Is not concerned further with what Attorney General Daugherty and Judge W.H.-kerson may or may not do in respect to tho present injunction, It considers thft these men have flagrantly thrown the United States constitution to the four winds and that by this action they have demonstrated their unfitness to further trust in public office."

Yl SETTLE NEW YORK, Sept.

14. Continued peace between the railroads and at least two of the big four brotherhoods which man their trains seemed in sure prospect tonight when it was announced that the New York Central had practically agreed to renew their present arrangements with the trainmen and conductors. This announcement, coming from W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, was followed by the report that the Pennsylvania, Krie, Lackawanna, and other eastern trunk lines also were ready to continue the wage scales, working conditions and rules under which tho trainmen and conductors are now employed.

Chieftains of these two brotherhoods and officials of the 13 roads making up the New York Central system probably will sign the renewal agreements tomorrow. Mr. Lee said. The only undetermined question tonight, he explained, was whether the new agreement would be for one year or two. The agreements in prospect will automatically remove from the United States Railroad Labor board the task of deciding upon the pay and working conditions for trainmen.

When the brotherhoods and the eastern "roads several months ago failed to reach agreements, the matter was put before the board, but now the trainmen and conductors seem about to settle the matter themselves with the separate roads.

14. Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambassador to the United States, speaking tonight at a dinner given to visiting delegates to the national police conference, said that America played a great role In winning the world war and that who said otherwise was one of three things: "Ignorant, malicious, or just a fool." Both the British ambassador and John W. Davis, former American ambassador to Great Britain, who was another speaker, referred in their addresses to the recent interview attributed to Rudyard Kipling, belittling America's part in the war. Both speakers expressed satisfaction that Mr. Kipling had denied the words attributed to him.

Ambassador Geddes warned his hearers to be on their guard against those who sought to sow seeds of discord. Referring to Kipling again, he said, "I am glad that he has emphatically denied the interview attributed to him. If he hadn't he would not have spoken as a representative of British thought, he would not have spoken as a man who knows what he was talking about." Ambassador Geddes said that the people of the British empire appreciate the part played in the world war by America. "America coming into the war -as she did, when she did," he said, "played a great role, a great part in ending the war. The man or woman who says otherwise is one of three things: "Ignorant, malicious, or Just a fool." "Make no mistake," he continued, "there are people existing who would like to see suspicion and hatred between your nation and mine, between our nation and France, and your nation and France.

There those who seek to fix our relations in troubled waters. But, believe me. they do not represent the hearts and minds of the British people." Former Ambassador Daivs said that the knew Kipling personally, and that if he did speak the words of the Interview, he did not speak the sentiment of his heart or mind, or those of the British people."

Fourteen Americans are missing in the fire-swept sections of the city of Smyrna, the state department was advised tonight in a cablegram from Rear Admiral Bristol, acting American commissioner at Constantinople. Admiral Bristol said his information came from -Captain Arthur J.

The missing Americans were all naturalized citizens, the dispatch said, adding that all native Americans listed with the authorities had been accounted for. All warships of the various powers in tho port of Smyrna are crowded with refugees. Captain Hepburn reported and ships were constantly leaving for nearby ports loaded with fugitives.

Sept. 14 Warning wag Riven ly high administration officials today that the country must recover from the aftermath of tho recent Industrial upheaval before economic benefits growing from the settlement of the rail strike can react fully upon national business conditions. Secretary Hoover took the view that although the country is now undoubtedly belter off than it was vear ago, it probably will be six months before a high palne of prosperity in attained, while Secretary Mellon although considering the business outlook "very good" recognized ah forestalling Immediate commercial expansion, the limitations imposed upon transportation facilities by car shortages and a possible inadequate labor supply The greatest loss as a result of tin; strike will he borne. by the farmers according to an analysis of the sil nation by Secretary Hoover, in which he reached the conclusion that the "economic wound" receiyed by the country should be quickly healed.

In contrast with the views of his two cabinet associates however. Secretary Davis of Labor Department nas positive that settlement of the rail strike removed tho last obstacle to "unprecedented" prosperity. Reports today to the labor department from its representatives In Chicago brought additional details of the scope to which the partial settlement of the strike was expected to extend. At least 35 per cent of the railroads affected by the strike was approved the Warfield-Willard-Jewcll plan, they declared, while sufficient other roads had signified their willingness to settle on this basis to bring tho total to 65. per cent of the national mileage.

It was expected that little time would be lost in the opening of negotiations between the roads and the unions looking to actual signature of the peace pact. Tho only road with local headquarters, the Southern Railway, announced today that -such meeting had been called for Saturday. While the losses due to the coal and rail strikes have been "considerable," Secretary Hoover said In a statement issued tonight, "they are tartly over estimated. The estimate nt current coal miners wages lost in the five months (of the strike) is not correct basis of estimation of the total loss," ho said, "because over a period of IS months we probably will consume approximately the same amount of coal. In other words, the ininers will work more days in the week and produce more coal in the next six or eight months than they would have, produced If there had been no strike and thus the wage roll of the next six or eight months will larger and will, in a considerable degree, compensate the loss dur- Ins tins suspension.

"The greatest loss "today is tho one being met by the farmer as a result of the railway strike."

Loomts, president of tho Lehigh Valley, said his employes were forming an association of their own. and that it now would be "out of the question" for the Lehigh to enter into any settlement negotiations." Tfew New Haven and Hartford officials said a settlement now would do no good, as there was no room left' in their shops for the men who struck. The Atlantic Coast Line, through the Association of Railway Executives, an nounced that it wits not a party to the Chicago meeting or the settlement negotiations. Following the announcement that ft new agreement with its trainmen and conductors had been made in conference today, the New York Central admitted that President" Smith wJLld meet the shopcrafts men tomorrow afternoon.

Smith had never admitted that his road was a nartv to the Chicago negotiations.
