LEAGUE AID ASKED
IK M OVER RUHR
Body Representing 20,000,-
000 Workers Would End
Reparation Issue.
By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September 18.—World re
construction is dependent upon early
settlement of the reparation problem,
declares a manifesto distributed today
to all the delegates to the league of na
tions by the International Federation
of Trade Unions of Amsterdam, which
claims to represent 20,000,000 organized
workmen in various countries.
The manifesto, which is signed by the
French labor leader, Leon Jounaux, as
vice president, and Yan Oudegeest of
Holland, as secretary, says that occur
rence of incidents like the occupation of
Corfu, with consequent violation of in
ternational engagements, demonstrates
the state of insecurity in which the
people are living, and while the gnat
question of reparations remains un
solved the menace of armed conflicts
will continue to hang over their heads.
Geneva is developing at puch amaz
ing rapidity as the great world forum
for exchange of ideas that few. If any.
of the delegates assembled here for
the fourth assembly of the league of
nations are able to follow all the
activities of this extraordinary men
tal market.
With five or more league commis
slona sitting simultaneously, the
league supporters here from many
countries are having a desperate time
to follow all the debates and to keep
in touch with the various develop
ments.
Article X Supported.
That the celebrated article X, which
yesterday was termed the heart of
tho league covenant, is the center
intone of the present. league’s* activi
ties. is very clear. It forms the basis
of the proposed new treaty of mu
tual assistance, which. If approved by
the assembly, will virtually replace
it.
On the other hand, several states,
especially Canada, are seemingly
doubtful of the fate of the mutual
guarantees pact and want article X
clarified or interpreted so that no
country will be called upon to ex
tend military aid Jo its fellows unless
Its parliament expressly gives au
thority to do so.
Some of the critics fear that this
wollnigh suppresses article X alto
gether. Others remark that it might
have the effect of removing American
objections to the covenant.
As proof that Geneva is creating a
helpful international atmosphere,
spokesmen of the various nations
P‘*int to the peaceful settlement of
the Greco-Italian conflict.
M. Colitis of Greece strengthened
the league by publicly declaring that
tho council had strictly applied ar
ticle XV. under which Greece made
her appeal, because It had followed
the fundamental injunction of that
clause, namely, that the council
should strive to obtain a settlement
of any world controversy apt to
lead to a break by employing any
means* at its disposal.

Cabinet Discusses Wheat
Situation —Borah in Capital
to Meet Coolidge.
■ \
Relief along sound and economic
lines Is sure to be extended very
shortly by the federal government to
farmers throughout the country who
are facing a serious problem because
of an over-production of wheat and
a drop in the price.
The entire agricultural situation
In the United States was the principal
subject of discussion by the cabinet
today, and with the exception of the
plight of the wheat growers, the re
ports regarding tho growers and
raisers of other commodities are very
satisfactory.
Tho President and cabinet today
were greatly encouraged by learning
of the capacity of the railroads to
furnish sufficient cars to move and
idistribute coal. This information as
sures the administration that there
will be no shortage or suffering be
cause of the lack of railroad facilities.
It was said at the White House that
while no figures have been furnish
ed the President the cessation of
production In the anthracite mines
since September 1 has had no seri
ous effect on Che general supply.
Borah Returns to D. C.
Senator Borah of Idaho has return
ed to Washington deeply Impressed
with the agricultural problems of the
west, after spending three months In
his own and other western stales.
He will discuss the situation In the
west with President Coolidge proba-;
bly tomorrow. Tho formers, he said,
today, have good crops, but have dif
ficulty finding a market for them.
He described the situation as se
rious. from an economic polrit of view.
Politically, he indicated. It is filled
with "dynamite.” What remedies he
proposes he did not disclose, but said
'he would talk with the President be
fore making any announcement.
“Party sentiment In the west Is at
a low ebb." said Senator Borah. "This
applies to alt parties. The people
are concerned over the economic
problems they face. They are for
the man who they believe can do the
Job."
Conditions generally in Guatemala
were described to President Coolidge
today by Arthur H. Gelssler, United
States minister to that central Ameri
can republic. The diplomat said the
political and industrial situations in
Guatemala are highly satisfactory at
this time and that the agricultural
developments have had a notable gain
in the past year.
Minister Gelssler said he Is on a
vacation of several months and be
fore sailing for Europe he came to
Washington to pay his respects to the
new President and at the State De
partment,
Mr. Gelssler asserted before leaving
the White House that work has been
resumed on the railroad line from
Zacapa on the frontier of Salvador to
Guatemala City, which, when com
pleted, will serve as the connecting
link between Fonesca Bay and those
railroad lines extending through
Mexico and into the United States.
This Important link will bring the.
Pacific side of Salvador, Honduras
and Nicaragua at least one week
nearer New York city. The road, fifty
seven miles In length, was started fif
teen years ago.

FLOGGING IN MINE
REVEALED BY PROBE
Whipping Strap, Banned Two
Year* Ago, Revived in Di»-
ciplining Leased Convicts.
By ttas Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., September 18.
—The whipping- strap, abolished two
years ago by Gov. Thomas E. Kilby,
has been reintroduced in at least one
coal mine camp in Alabama, where
leased state convicts arc worked.
This became Known as a result of
an Inquiry into an outbreak at Ban
ner mines last week. The leaders of
tho trouble were flogged with a strap,
it was divulged In reports to the gov
ernor. White convicts are said to
have been among the number.
L. A. Boyd, president of tho state
board of convict supervisors, in a re
port to the governor, assumed re
sponsibility for thA floggings at Ban
ner.
Whether the strap will be replaced
in all convict camps was not stated.
Prisoners at the mine were quoted
by newspaper men as saying tasks
were made impossible because of
rock in the seam; that food was poor,
and that men were forced to work
when they should have been on the
sick list. This, the prisoners said,
caused the outbreak.
Prison officials said the trouble
was started largely by “outside agi
tation.” It is assumed he referred
to the effort of anti-leasing advocates
who seek to have leasing of convicts
abolished in Alabama.

COOLIDGE 10 MEET
TARIFFLAW HITCH
Factional Discord in Commis
sion Which His Predecessor
Consdered Not Settled.
President Coolidge, It appears, will
have to take up with the Tariff Com
mission, as did President Harding, the
administration of the flexible pro
visions of’ the Fordney-McCumber
tariff law. From the beginning two
factions in the commission have been
at odds over the administration of this
act, ona contending for greater activity
and the initiation of investigations by
the commission, while the other de
clared that investigations should be
made only after formal complaints had
been made.
The President has an engagement to
meet with the Tariff Commission to
morrow. Whether the question of pol
icy is to be taken up at the conference
is not known, but It Is expected that
there will be some discussion of the
■matter.
The President, it was said recently
at the White House, expects the
commission to initiate investigations
Into schedules under the flexible pro
visions of the tariff law after proper
consultation with the Chief Executive,
and also to act upon formal com
plaints or petitions for investigations.
President Coolidge has agreed to
send a message to the western tariff
congress which meets In Denver Octo
ber 3, headquarters of the Western
Tariff Association.
Members of the association recently
appealed to the President to restrain
the activities of the tariff commis
sion in reopening schedules, and the
Denver meeting was called, it was
announced, "to give all- producing in
terests an opportunity to Jointly de
fine a tariff policy best adapted to
, the needs of the West.’’
