By FLOYD MACGRIFF,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S.
LONDON, Feb. 10.—That Great
Britain ils preparing to curb her liquor
traffic was revealed by King George
today in his speech from the throne
convening Parliament. )
“The war showed the danger of ex
cessive drinking, and a bill suitable
Aor peacetime regulation of aleoholic
beverages is forthcoming,” said the
king.
King George appealed for peace in
Bastern Europe and Russia, saying:
“So long as these vast regions with
hold their full contribution of the
world’s commodities the cost of living
can not be reduced, nor general pros
perity restored throughout the
world.” :
Touching on the acute Irish situa
tion, King George declared “condi
tions in Ireland cause me grave con
cern.”
FOR THE IRISH.
He continued:
“But proposals will soon be laid
before vou for a better government
in that couniry, such as were outlined
at the end of the last session. Also
a bill containing further provisions
for education in Ireland will be
submitted.”
King George expressed the hope
that peace would soon be made with
Yungary and Turkey, and that the
Adriatic controversy would be settled.
He said that excellent relations pre
vail among the allies.
“1 believe the British Empire is
making rapid strides toward stability
and prosperity, but it is essential for
all clagses to throw themselves into
the work of reconstuction,” said the
king.
“The adverse exchange rates are
menacing our food supply. There
tore bills should be considered to
stimulate production and develop the
fishing industry.”
RECOMMENDATIONS.
, ' The Ling's constructive recoramen
dations Included:
1. An enduring settlement of the
coal miners’ controversy.
2. Alleviation of unemployment,
minimum wage, hours of employment
and insurance.
3. Health insurance.
4. An anti-duping measure to pro
tect British goods.
5. Utilization of water power,
6. Reforms in the House of Lards.
The old pre-war pomp and spln
dor marked the opening. The scene
in the House of Lords was given a
vivid dash of color by the jewels
and gowns of the peeresses in the
royal gallery and the uniforms of the
men.
King George and Queen Mary, at
tired in royal robes, drove in state
to Parliament Building, accompanied
hy the Prince of Wales.
Intense national interest centered

City and County Officials to En
deavor to Arrive at Agreement
on Consolidation Tuesday.
¥ 2 #
Plans for the proposed consolida
tion of the city. and county high
schools will be discussed at a meet
ing Tuesday afternoon of the spacial
committee apopinted at the recent
¢ nference of city and county offi
cials to thresh out the whgle matter
and endeavor to arrive at an azree
ment. The meeting was ,called by
the chairman, Virlyn B. Moore. nresi
dent of the CountygSchool Boqr?;,tpr'
3 o'clock in the office of Supe.in
tendent Dykes, of city schools.
It was understood Tuesd®y that
numlerous suggestions would le of
fered by members of the committee.
It was regarded as certain by offi
cials, however, that, un’.ss some plan
is reached that will be thorough!v
acceptable to both the city and tho
county, there will be little ¢.ance of
success for t}‘lflproposed THer, 0y
The first public expressioa from
the county school devartment came
Tuesday from Supt. J. W. S'mmons.
Superintendent Simmoas’ st.tement
indicated that so far the p-ocsrects
for consolidation were not veay
bright, so far as the county was
concerned. He said:
“In connection with the recent
movement looking to the consolida
tion of the schools of the city and
county, I should like to say tnat no
definite plan is op foot, so far as I
know, to bring about this result.
Those of us connected with the
county school system were invited
to a conference in the mayor's of
fice last week. At this conference
every one present was asked to state
whether he would be interested in
entering into a discussion of the
matter. A committee was finally
appointed to go intp the matter fur
ther, This committee has had no
meeting so far. I do not know
whether any member of the com
mittee has anys plan to offer when
it m2ets Tuesday afternoon. So' far
as we of the county are concerned,
and I am sure this is true of the city,
it is our purpose to safeguard prop
erly the interests of those whom we
now serve,
“If it is for the best interests of all
to consolidate the schools very
probably some plan can be worked
out. If it is not for the best, that will
be found out in the conferences., At
any rate, serious consideration and
discussion of this, as well as ail pub
lic matters, can do no harm.

Entire Question To Be Heard by
President at Once — White
House Regards Order lllegal.
(By International News Service.)
@WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.--President
Wilson will take up the matter of in
creased wage demands for railroad
workers today.
ZSecretary Tumulty has held a long
conference with Director General
Hines and will lay the entire matter
before the President today.
The threatend strike of the mainte
nance of way employees is regarded
at the White House as a serious sit
uation, because it may open the way
for other strikes.
The White House takes the atti
tude that the this strike is_illegal,
because a thirty-day notice has not
been given, and it was intimated that
the President spay take Jegal steps to
prevent the strike,
Chieftains of the railroad brother
hoods and unions were prepared to
insist that Director General Hines
give a final answer on their demands,
which they have been considering in
conference for a week.
Lattle hope was held out by the
labor leaders that any increases
would bt granted, and the best they
.expected was some small adjust
ments in wages as between various
classes of workers,
They were prepared to take their
demands to President Wilson and
remind him he had promised action
to reduce living costs, if Director
General Hines finally rejected the
demands. The chiefs today openly
admitted they feared they woull Le
unable to hold their men ii leash.
GENERAL STRIKE POSSIBLE.
They predicted sporadic unauthor
ized strikes, with the danger that
these might spread to a general
strike, if the workers received no
satisfaction. Leaders declared the
arder for a strike of maintenance of
way employees for February 17,
would be an incentive to other work
ers to strike. Officials of the rail
road administration professed to be
little worried by the threatened
strike by the maintenance of way
men, declaring this class of workers
is poorly organized and can be easily
replaced.
Demaids for the wage lincreases
will be made on the private owners
immediately after the railroads re
turn should the administration’s
final answer be rejection and the
cost of living not sufficiently reduced
in the meantime.
Most of the railroad union leaders
are opposed to strikes while the raii
roads remain in government control
but they admit that a general rail
road strike is planned if the wage de
mandsg of the men are still unsettled
after their return.
The labor leaders today drafted an
ultimatum which they were to pre
sent to Director General Hines. It
was expected the director general
would take the ultimatum to the
White House and confer later in the
day with the labor leaders agaln.
The railroad administration today
arranged to hold a conference with
a committee of the maintenance of
way employees in an attempt to
resch some agreement which would
prevent the threatened strike,
300,000 Rail Men .

DETROIT, Feb, 10.—An order for a
general strike of 300,000 members of
the Brotherhood of Maintenance of
Way Employees and Railway Shop
Workers was issued Monday for
Tuesday. February 17, at a meeting of
the general chairmen of the organiza
tion here.
Allen E. Barker, grand president of
the brotherhood announced the strike
order after numerous communica
tions from J. B. Mallor, in Wash

negotiations with the railroad ad
ministration and who advised the
general committeemen here no hope
of akvomble settlements exists,

Admiral, Before Senate Commit
tee, Ridicules Daniels for Dec
orating Officer Who Lost Ship.
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Injection
of a “defeatist germ” into the mavy
by Secretary of the Navy Daniels
was charged today by Admiral Bims‘
before the Senate subcommitfge in
vestigating meda] awards. ¥ ‘
“What is the use of spending mil
lions for battleships if you are going
to offer special awards for the offi
cers who sink them?” Sims asked.
Sims wag speaking of the award of
a distinguished service® cross by
Daniels to Command«s Bagley, who
los his ship. Bagley is a brother-in
law of Daniels.
When Sims entered the room 200
society women of Washingteh gtood.
and cheered. ' ... & e SR
Sims denied statements attributed
by Daniels to Representative Byrnes
of South Carolina that he (Sims)
declared the army had fallen down.
“l told Byrnes the story and said
he would hear it often, but not to
believe it,” Simsg said.
BYRNES TO FACE SIMS.
Rear Admiral Sims will be faced
by Representative Byrnes, Democrat,
of South Carolina, when the Senate
subcommittee Investigating medal
awards resumes its hearings late this
afternoon. Byrnes will be asked by
the committee to recite a conversa
tion he, Senator Carter Glass of Vir
ginia and Représentative Whaley of
South Carolina had with Sims in
Paris in October, 1918, This conver-&‘
sation, which Sims does “not remem
ber clearly,” but denies as to facts,
was recited by Byrnes on.the floor
of the House several days ago. |
Senator Hale, Republican, of Maine
issued a call at noon for the appear
* |
ance of Byrnes, Glass and Whaley at
the suggestion of Senator Pittman,
Democrat, of Nevada, also a member
of the subcommittee. |
“The c¢harges that pro-British
statements or anti-American, state-|
ments were made by Admiral Sims
are grave and should be gone into
thoroughly,” Senator Pittman said, |
SAYS VIEWS STATED WRONG,
“] have read the testimony. ol the
secretary of the navy before the com
mittee on February 3’' Sims contin
ued. *‘This testimony is very sur
prising in that, in a number of lm-i
portant instances, it,is in error in|
stating my views as to awards—in
some of these instances 1 even find|
myself in entire accord with Mr.‘
Daniels. 1
“For example, Mr. Danlels stated
that ‘he would never approve a dis
parity between awards given men
wha served on shore. as compared
with the men who went to sea’ In
this 1 agree with ]r’m most cordially.
The commitiee will doubtiess remem
ber that in giving y testimony on this
very point I sought to emphasize it
by requesting that it Pe printed in
italicized capitals in red ink. Doubt
less that part of my testimony has
escaped Mr, Daniels’ attention. ;
AWARD FIGURES.
“It has showed that I'had recom
mended for awards about 3 per cent
of all of the officers serving ashore
and about 14 per cent, or nearly five
times as many, of all those serving
at sea. The percentage of sea offi
cers refers to all the officers that
were not serving on shore. Some of |
these did not actually go to sna.i
though serving on board ships. |
“The follpwing appgoximate figuron;
will show very clearly that, in agree
ment with Mr. Daniels, T do not ‘ap
prove a.disparity between aw;njnls]
given men who served'on ghore as
compared with the men who went
to sea.’

WASHINGTON, Feb, 10.—President
Wilton is willing to accept a com
promise on Article X of the League
of Nations covenant. This was stated
at the White House today.
Furthermore the President is hope
ful that the Democrats and the “mild

learned the President would favor
such action, based on the Hitchcock

President Wilson's letter to Sena

He sees no ireason why the letter,

According to the confessions made
to Warden Clarke, it had been plan

the convict camp, give a signal with
the automobile lights, and then the
delivery was to start. The reported
conspiracy was thwarted, however,
by the capture of Colson, Ferrell and

that convict officials had received in
formation as to the plot last Friday. -
CAMP GUARDED.
Had the four alleged outside aides
reached the convict camp Saturday
night, they would have a met witn
a warm reception, and a battle no

that the trio will be prosecuted on
charges both of automobile theft and
