of ending the country-wide strike thru
separate agreements with individual
roads, the Rock Island and the New
York Central had definitely announced
the failure of efforts to reach a final
agreement and conferences of the
Southern with union leaders had been
no more successful as the strike en
tered on its twelfth week.
In the case of the New York Cen
tral, a statement was issued by the
road expressing a willingness to fulfill
the memorandum of agreement reach
ed at Baltimore at conferences be
tween B. M. Jewell, head of the strik
ers, and representatives' of certain of
the carriers, but it was asserted that
representatives of the shop crafts “at
tempted to interject, questions not men
tioned in the text and clearly outside
the agreement, insisting that these
matters be included.”
The same misunderstanding result
ed in disturbances recently when
strikers began to return to work here
In shops of the Northwestern and the
Chicago, Milwaukee &■ St. Paul. In
some cases the men were reported to
have demanded that non-union work-
erp be dismissed and in others that
their striking foreman be reinstated.
At the same time railway execu
tives, who have refused to" come in un
der the Baltimore plan, reiterated that,
they are engaged in recruiting full
shpp forces, and that the settlement
talk has resulted <n large numbers
of men returning to work independent-
ly of any action taken by the union
leaders. Many of the non-settlement
roads were said to have forces rang
ing from 70 to 100 per cent normal.
These have formed new organizations
to supplant the striking shop crafts.
Among the roads which have announc
ed agreements wit' the shopmen in
dependently of the union are the Santa
Fe, Burlington, Illinois Central and
the Chicago and Alton.

Paris.—The text of Mii«taphh Kern-
al’s .reply to the allied note of. Septem
ber/23 was made public by the foreign
office.
The reply, dated September 29,
promises immediately to stop military
operations which have been develop
ing, toward Constantinopln and Cha-
naiF“in pursuit of the Greek armies.”
It accepts the proposal for an armis
tice conference at Mudania soon with
representatives of the entente and
nominates General Ismid Pasha to act
for the Turks.
Dealing with Thrace, the reply is
worded with marked firmness. It
credits the entente with sentiments of
justice toward Turkey, but demands
that Thrace shall rot be left one day
longer under the Greek army.
“Confident in 'the assurances which
M. Franklin-Bouillon has given the
commander in chief of the Turkish
armies, in accord with the representa
tives of the entente powers meeting
in Paris, and persuaded -that nego
tiations will at once be proceeded with
to establish a just peace,” the note
says "order has been given to stop
immed'ately our military movements
which have been unceasingly develop
ing in the direction of Constantinople
and Chanak Kaleh in pursuit, of the
Greek armies.
“The assurances given by M. Frank
lin-Bouillon have established the sen
timents of justice with which the
'propositions of the entente are truly
inspired, with a view to assuring the
rights of Turkey, nevertheless, as the
maintenance of Thrace, if only for a
day more, under the administration
and occupation of the Greek arm is
u cause of danger of every kind and
'grief to Turkey’s peoples, it is in
dispensable that Thrace to the west
of the Maritza river, with Adrianople,
be evacuated immediately and restored
.urgently to the government .of the
great national assembly of Turkey."
' The reply accepts Mudania for a con-
ference on October 3.
f The general feeling here recently is
that the danger, ppint in the .Near Bast
situation is past!, Withdrawal of the
[Turks from Eren Keui, and, as semi
officially reported, also from their po
sitions at Chanak, is accepted as proof
of the Angora government's readiness
