Ninety eight percent of the 125.000 union railwar machinists voted In November to strike with other trades In the event congress enacted the Cummins railroad bill with its anti-strike provision. In making this announcement today William H. Johnson, president of the International Association of Machinists, said the vote was taken before "the senate Interstate commerce eonv mlttee reported out the Cummins measure, and -that the result was not officially published because the association did not want to appear in the attitude of attempting to threaten congress. ' The machinists' membership la around half. a million, but not more than 126.000 of this number Is em ployed on railroads. . .. Many Problems. Perplexing questions Involving labor, loom as the government prepares for the return, of the railroads to pri vate operation on March 1.. Conferees 'in congress on the railroad bill anticipate a month of nego tiations before, reaching an agreement, the conflict between the anti-strike provision of the' senate Mil and the voluntary arbitration plan of the house bill presenting their most difficult problem. Meanwhile the railroad administra tion will be confronted with the de mands of railroad employes for in creased wages, accompanied by threats of a general strike. Wilson Action Pleases Officials. President Wilson's decision to dlay the return of the roads until March I 13 received with satisfaction by con gress and railroad officials. Organ! ed labor wanted an extension of government operation for at least two years. The additional sixty days, however, gives that much more time for the presentation of demands for wage advances to the government rather than direct to the railroad owners. Dissatisfied with the progress made by the administration in its campaign to reduce the cost of living, railway brotherhoods' officials are . preparing to renew .. the demands which they withheld v temporarily 7 at the insist ence of President Wilson4 Members of congress fear an attempt to use threats of a strike to force action on the. wage adjustment J sections of the railroad bill. Conferees on the railroad bill will not meet again until Monday. CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 26. Heads of railroad unions here express surprise at announcement of the government's plan to return the railroads to private ownership March 1. Warren S. Stone, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, would not make any comment W. O. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, said he hoped no anti-strike legislation would be passed before the change. "If the people want anti-strike legislation, they can take up the matter after the return of the railroads to private control," Mr. Lee said. Shea Thinks It a Mistake. Timothy Shea, acting president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, declared the government's plan to return the roads to private ownership March 1 a mistake. He proposed the government maintain control for two years longer. "The public would then be so well pleased it would never return them," he said. "I don't expect railroad employes to strike and I don't expect the railroads to attempt to lower wages. Employes will go on Just the same. "We want the roads to be returned as they were received, with no restrictions attached. The Cummins bill is against the rights of citizens and should not be passed to hamper railroad employes."

' "Hone of solving the economic, and

therefore the food and clothing problem, of eastern and central Europe. lies irectly before the United States, j which as a nation practically without i trade competition at the present time and owning immense wealth, is the only country in the world in a posi tion to give the needed assistance. said Vincent Nicholson. New York ' lawyer, who has Just returned from a year in France. Austria. Hungary. Poland, Russia, in the interests of the American Friends' Service committee, He is spending a few days in Richmond with his parents, Mr. and, Mrs. S. Edrar Nicholson. The extension of large credits to the suffering countries of Eurone so they may resume their former eco-, nomic life, is a necessity, said Mr. Nicholson. U. 8. Viewpoint Wrong. "The pitiable outlook here is that people in America seem to be ignorant of the true conditions of these European countries," said Mr. Nicholson. "The feeling which seems to have prevailed in the senate of not wishing to know about these conditions, is regretable. I think, however, tat the American people will finally look at the situation from the standpoint of trade understanding. We need these countries for markets, and vith the present dei-eciatlon of their aoney they can not buy at our prices, and will have to seek cheaper places. For instance Poland will go to Germany where money is at the same ratio as her own. "Then other Americans will look at the Question from the standDoint of humanity. We have come to the front in other humantarian enterprises. I sdo not think we will stand by and see these countries crumble and fall and their people die of malnutrition." , Conditions in 'Austria. Mr. Nicholson explained the situation in Austria and especially in Vienna, once a brilliant city of culture. "Today, Austria is in a very critical Condition perhaps more critical than at any time during the war. Vienna is a city of mpre than 2,000,000 people, formerly the capital of a rich empire, now a huge city without an empire, from which all the rich people have either fled or lost their riches. "Austria is poor in land; it has no mineral deposits; no coal or iron. It has about 40 per cent its normal food supply. Industrial production is almost nil. The people can not buy because their money is not worth anything. .

FRENCH PRESIDENT TO BE CHOSEN JAN. ,17 (By Associated Press) PARIS, Thursday, Dec. 25. President Raymond Polncare's successor will be elected on Jan. 17, according to the inference generally drawn by the Parisian press from Premier Clefrom the premier's declaration that he will be a candidate for the presidency which means that he will be elected virtually without opposition. Speculation regarding "the Tiger's" successor as head of the cabinet is consequently eclipsing discussion as to the next president of the republic. Alexandre Millar and, governor of Al-s.ce-Lorraine, seems to have a great lead so far as predictions are con cerned. He is supposed to be M. Clemenceau's choice and should be the logical candidate in the Chamber of Deputies, since he was the leader of t he coalition which gained a great victory in the elections. Rene Vlvianl, former premier, is still mentioned among the reduced groups of the extreme left. Including the radicals and socialists, but his weakness lies in the fact he does not belong to any of the groups that composed the republican combination in tie elections. M. Clemenceau's acceptance of the presidency is so far taken for granted that gossip as tq the next occupant of the Elysee palace has been almost completely stiffled.

Remaining German Liners

Ordered Turned Over to Great Britain by President Wilson Seven Are Left SERVICE IS COMPLETED , (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Dec. 26. ommendation of the state department. President Wilson has ordered the re maining seven former German ships used to bring home American troops turned over to Great Britain. By his instructions, the shipping board an nounced today this action would be taken as soon as properly accredited; British representatives wore ready to receive the vessels, now in New York harbor. The Imperctor. second largest afloat, and ono of the original eight' Hamburg-American liners employed ic American transport service, was de livered to the Cunard line. The president's action, it was 'said at the state department, followed a report from Groat Britain that the ships must be surrendered under the original allocation of tho interallied shipping commission which arranged to get the vessels out of German harbors following the armistice. On investigation, it was added, the depart-' ment hsA found that the United 8tates had no right to retain the ships beyond the period of their service in bringing back American troops, now completed, and eo reported to President Wilson. , ' Used for Troop Return. The vessels are those assigned to the United States after the armistice for repatriation of American troops,' and designated by the inter-allied naval Council to be turned , over to Great Britain under the : armistice terms. The Imperator has already, been delivered to the British. In a letter to Secretary Lansing, made public today, John Barton Payne chairman of the shipping board, said: "I am directed by the president to comply with the request contained in your letter transmitted to me this day from the White House, and to advise you that the seven ex-German ships. to wit: Graf W alders ee, Zeppelin, Pre-, toria. Cap Flnistere. Mobile, Prins Friedrich Wilhelm, and Kaiserin Augusts Victoria, now in the .harbor of New York, will be delivered to the representative Cot Great Britain as soon., as the proper person is designated te receive the same." "- Delivery Delayed. Delivery of the ships to Great Britain was delayed as the shipping board wished to obtain the use of the American-owned oil tankers formerly under the German flag. A, proposal was made , by Chairman Payne that each country be permitted to use the vessels desired, pending a final determination of their ownership. No action has been taken so far on this proposal and the transfer of the former German ships to Great Britain is made without any explanation other than that it was done by direction of the president. While the president's order puts an end to the controversy over the German ships, the status of 12 Standard Oil tank steamers formerly under the German flag but now In the Firth ot Forth under British jurisdiction, remains in doubt. Delay in turning over the German passenger craft by the shipping board, it has been understood, was due to efforts to obtain title to these oil carriers. The last formal action as to the tankers was the order of the supreme council at Paris that they be held in British custody until finally disposed of and be not delivered for operation under the awards made by the allied commission.
