ister Bonar Law In an addresi at
' a meeting of women jn the Drury
Lane theater this afternoon reiter-
ated that his poller waa .one of
tranquility and stability.
"As regard! foreign policy" he
added. "I venture to express' Hie
hope that America may gradually
take an Interest In the league of

her; duty to help In the chaos In

"Our relations with France must b
tb keynote of out foreign policy." the
prima mintiter declared.
"As to the position in the Near East
what I hope for from the conference
is that there may be a settlement
which will fire peace to that part of
ths world and which will enable us to
briny our troops bark and cease spend-
ing money In those distant refloha"
"As to the home policy." continued
Mr. Bonar Law. "the most Important
thing Is to cut down expenditures.
Without that there can be no reduc-

Conferences .
Associated Press Report '
CHICAGO. Nov. 1 Opposing
tlons were made before the railroad
labor board today by representatives

the train service men each claiming
that the other had avoided conferences
on the company's proposal to abollah
overtime pay after ths sight noun
and to make other changes In wage
tnd working conditions of its train ser-
vice road and yard employes.
The contradictory position of the par-
ties to the dispute were brought out
iftien 8. A. Boone vice president of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire-
men and Bnginemen charged that the
Alton had violated the section of the
transportation act prescribing that
conferences of disputants just preceded
action before the labor board. He
uked.that the case be dismissed.
W. O. Bird president of the Alton
company and one of the receivers for
the road charged In the company's
uhjnUslons and again today orally as-
serted that the brotherhoods had con-
sistently refused to confer with the
company on the proposals.
Boone alleged that the firemen's
brotherhood in a letter dated June 27
although refusing the Alton's pro-
posals had asked for a conference on
July t. but that no reply was received
and that on that date the company's
submissions were filed with the board.

fed Btatea.wlB M'S an apology tn
connection with the enargea oi aut-

which led to- the Closing of the con-
sulate last summer'
WASHINGTON Nov. . Intimations
from London that the case of the
American consulate at Newcastle
England has been settled in principle
between the two governments must be
based on communications from the
British government through Ambassa
dor Harvey which have not reached
the state department If the assump-
tion tn the London reports that Great
Britain is ready to publicly exonerate
the two American consular officials
Slater and Brooks who were under
fire proves to be correct there Is tit-
tle doubt that the Incident will be
closed in the near future in an ami-
cable way.
The Washington government still
lacks official Information as to what
the British foreign office proposes in
the way of a reciprocal agreement
limiting more closely the activities of
consular services of the two countries
seeking foreign trade patronage for
American and British ships respective-
ly. Until the nsture of the proposal Is
understood here comment is withheld.
There has been no disposition in
Washington to demand reinstatement
of Slater and Brooks at Newcastle if
that course is not desired by British
officials. The whole! American case
rests upon the conviction here after
painstaking investigation that charges
against the two men were unfounded
and that the British government .owed
them a public apology.

decision which classified the "living
wage" as a basis for fixing ths sal
aries of railroad men as a "dream.
Hooper named Ford Gompers and
Hearst sa ths members of the new
triumvirate backing the theory of the
living wage.
Hooper declared that the "new tri
umvirate" had been virulent in its
criticism of the majority members of
the board for their refusal to adopt
the theory of the "living wage" and
lavish in its approval of A O. Whar-
ton dissenting member of the board.
The majority opinion stated that If
the theory was put Into practice every
railroad in the country would be
wrecked. .
Edsel Ford waa quoted as earing
that application of ths theory would
only cause a deficit "for awhile."
Hooper referred bitterly to Henry
Ford's Detroit Toledo and Ironton
railroad.
"Edsel Ford should speak of rail
road deficits ss one having authority."
he said. ."A few months ago his papa
bought a little road. The road la now
piling Up deficits despite contrary re-
ports." Hooper declared that Gompers op-
position to the labor board was sincere
and "perfectly understandable."
"The. attitude ef the Hearst syndi-
cate of papers is not quite so dear"
he said. " "Their advocacy of the real
situation of restrictions against for
ehm i-swnlsrratio can not be construed
as IrierMly to hlgtt wages Tor common
labor Tbei position of tnle syndicate
bears many ef the earmarks of polit-
ical expediency and Uua Is an unsafe
foundation f er " any economic polloy-.t
. Hooper then came to the defense of
the board's decision.
. "The board In Its action on this
question has not only served the beet
Interests of the country In general but
has ssved labor from the folly of some
of those who posed as its friends."
"A wags award which would wreck
the railroads would ruin the em-
ployes." United Press Report
