trfaty, Mr. Churchill declared The consequences of the agreement were very serious, he said, and it seemed probable that the Irish people would not be able to give free expression to their views. Points Out Break If Mr. DeValera or any of the others who might be ministers in the Irish government refused to sign the decla-j ration prescribed in the treaty, the ; secretary continued, the treaty was i broken by that fact and the imperial! government resumed such liberty of action whether in regard to the resumption of the powers which had been transferred on the reoccupation of territory as it might thing appropriate and proportionate to the gravity of the breach. The imperial government would not in any circumstances agree to deviate from the treaty, either in the strict letter or the honest, spirit of the document, Mr. Churchill declared. "It is almost certain." Mr. Churchill went on, "that the Irish people will not be able to say in an intelligent i way whether they accept or reject the j treaty offered by Great Britain. A i certain number of labor or independ- ; tnt candidates may doubtless secure i "lection, but if is difficult to see how j the parliament resulting fro nit he elec-1 tion and the government to be based ! en that parliament the election can ; have either representative or democratic quality, or authority as it is ; usually understoond.'" j Denies Leaflet " j In reply to a question Mr. Churchill 1 :-aid that the free -late government ! .id not as was charged issue a leaflot urging the Irish voters to support the treaty candidates in the coming lections on the ground that they could thus secure a republic "through the saff short rn;;d of the treaty."

May 31 Substantial increases in the production of auto mobiles and building materials were the outstanding features in trade reports for the month of April announced today by the department of commerco. Passenger automobiles producing the month' totalled 196,512, or 30 percent more than in March, while truck production also showed a substantial gain. In many other lines the announcement said, April figures did not show the advance over March conditions that might have been expected from the preceding month, although it was regarded as an encouraging sign that "business for the most part i3 advancing in this less spectacular but more substantial manner."

ARGENTINE REJECTS CLAIMS OF BOLIVIA ON BORDER DISPUTE I nsnea by the A-gentine ministry oi foreign relations. The Pilcomayo river runs south from Bolivia and then southward between the Argentine "Chaco" on the south and the Para guayan -thaco on the nortn. anu empties into the Panama river, wnicn carries its water3 to the Atlantic. There is, however, a northern and almost parallel branch of the Pilcomayo and the differences between Argentine and Paraguay arose over the question as to which of the streams was the true boundary. There also has been a long standing dispute between Bolivia and Paraguay over the title to the "Chaco" territory, to the north, which is in the possession of Paraguay. When about a year ago Paraguay reouested Argentine to enter negotia tions to determine which of the two ( branches of the Pilcomayo was the actual boundary, Argentine replied in effect, that there was no dispute on the matter: that treaties and surveys proved conclusively that it was the northern branch. The notes just published reveal that Bolivia, because of her claim to the territory north of the Pilcomayo, notified Argentine that she. too. had rights in the matter to.be considered. Argentine, in reply, informed Bolivia that, as far as Argentine's boundaries were concerned they were definitely fixed, and expressed surprise that Bolivia should have addressed her on the subject.

If - n y'"J""7 "l . I in favor of a rejection of the decreases, i jE. F. Grable, grand president of the i brotherhood, with headquarters here, J is empowered to issue a strike call immediately setting the date for the walkout. A resolution calling for the strike vote and ordering Mr. Grable to take! the strike step in the event it is sanc tioned by the membership, was passed late yesterday at a meeting of the brotherhood executive council, composed of all of the officers of the union. To Mail Ballots A strike ballot will be mailed to each person affected by the reductions, it being desired to give non-union men work beside those holding union cards j an opportunity to express their choice between continuing work at the re duced figure or suspending their ef-l forts. Presses at the Brotherhood's printing plant here were set in motion early in the day turning out the bal lots, it being necessary to print more than 550.000 of the slios. It is expected by union officials that the last of the number will have been mailed by the end of the present week or the first of the next. All the replies are looked for by the end of June. If a strike is desired bv the I membership such a call probably will go out. during the first week in July, Mr. Grable said. The wage reductions ordered by the labor board become effective July 1. ' The resolution calling for a strike vote and was adopted unanimously. It was confined to the mere request for such a vote and the empowering of the president to call such a strike if vt ! was ordered by the membership. Denounced Cuts. The executive council, in a previous statement to newspaper men, had denounced the wage cuts ordered by the board as unfair and unwarranted at this time, holding they represented a pay slash of 13.2 percent for the average maintenance of way worker. They asserted further that the cost of living had not declined more than three percent In most instances throughout the country. If a strike should result all mechanics and maintenance of way employes on all the leading railroads of the country would be affected. The only exception according to Mr. Grable. would be emploves of short line railroads that do not come under the rulings of the labor board. Those crafts comprising the brotherhood's membership included mechanics, section men and foremen, track men and their foremen, bridge builders, painters, coal chute men, cinder pit men, all common laborers in shops, and all carpenters.

The 17-year-old granddaughter of John D.

From indications it was expected today that Mathilde would cast her lot with her father and permit society to speculate for a while longer whether the betrothal to Oser would culminate in marriage or a break in the engagemen through a convenient denial of consent to the marriage by Mrs. McCormick. The Swiss law requires the consent of parents or guardian for the marriage of a girl of Miss MaCormick's age. Meanwhile from across the Atlantic came rumors that Max was preparing for a speedy trip to America.

Accepts Responsibility for the Fixing Reasonable Charge During Continuance of the Present Strike.

SUGGESTION APPROVED (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 31 Secretary Hoover today accepted the responsibility for fixing a reasonable price on coal during the continuance of the present coal strike. Opening the conference here today of the union and non-union operators of the producing field, Mr. Hoover declared that any agreement between the operators looking toward the lowering of the price of coal, even in the interest of the public, would be illegal. Therefore he asked the individual operators to agree with him upon a reasonable price of stock coal during the continuance of the present coal strike. Mr. Hoover's suggestion was approved by A. M. Ogle, of Indiana, president of the National Coal association, by Jesse Bailey, of West Virginia, and by B. B. Webb, of Pennsylvania, president of the coal association. The conference followed preliminary meeting of operators held here at the request of President Harding about two weeks ago, and was to consider specifically a plan of coal distribution through co-operative committees representing both the producing and purchasing elements which was approved at the first meeting as a means of keeping prices at a reasonable level. Had Price Fixed. Although the suggestion was approved at the preliminary conferences that the level established by Fuel Commissioner Garfield during the war be adopted as the basis to be ad hered to during the strike period, it was declared last night by representatives of retail dealers' associations that the operators nere tor today s conference had agreed at an informal meeting yesterday on a price program calling for a minimum of $3 a ton, at the mines. It was declared that a delegation ?d by L. W. Ferguson, president , headed of the Chicago Merchants' association would present to Secretary Hoover today, a formal protest against any such price program being adopted or receiving official approval. It was declared by the delegation that for much of the tonnage now contracted for, this price would mean an increase of 100 per cent, and that it would be much higher than the maximum mice chareed durine the war j,eriod when production costs were at highest peak 24 SUNDAY SCHOOLS IN COUNTY REPORT PERFECT RECORDS boston, md..

PERU'S PROPOSAL FOR ARBITRATION IS PARAMOUNT ISSUE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 31. Peru'-? proposal that her old dispute with Chile over the sovereignty of TacnaArica be submitted to arbitration remained today the paramount issue of the Chilean-Peruvian conference. Although some scattering advices regarding the attitude of the Chilean home government had reached its delegation here, it was said that noth ing that could be considered a final reply had come over the cables from Santiago. By some observers it was believed that several more days might elapse before the Chilean foreign office would take decisive action on the Peruvian proposal, which was regarded universally as having gone directly to the heart of the controversy by sug gesting that the question of the feas lbility of a plebiscite in the disputed province be included in the issues to be decided by the arbitrator. In other quarters, however, there was confidence that the Peruvian plan would be accepted either in whole or in part without, extended delay and that today or tomorrow might see important conference developments. The Chilean delegates themselves would not discuss the outlook, except to say that their optimism over the outcome had not been diminished. They indicated that any prediction they might make regarding the foreign office decision would be no more than a guess. In this situation the conference is giving some attention to lesser issues which can be discussed without detailed instructions from home. It was understood to be the the purpose of continuing exchanges on these details that today's joint session of the two delegations was called. TAKE SERIOUS VIEW OF HALT IN PARLEY IN IRISH SITUATION (Bv Associated Press) LONDON, May 31. A serious view is taken of the halt in the negotiations between the British and Irish delegagates by most of the political experts of today's newspapers. Some describe it as a complete deadlock. It was generally expected that the Irish leaders would return to Dublin today in preparation for Friday''? meeting of the Dail Eireann and it is thought in some quarters that the negotiations may be suspended pending their expected return to London. Meanwhile the restiveness amone the parliamentarians desiring a quick settlement increases and there is an indication of a tendency among the coalition conservatives to move toward the side of the more extreme Unionists. Among the main unconfirmed rum ors afloat in London today was one that the government contemplates holding a general election on the Irish the situation on .

New Bill Decision to Meet Recent Decision of Supreme Court Holding Trading Act Inoperative Introduced. FARM BLOCSUPPORTS

(By Associated Press WASHINGTON, May 31. A new bill for regulation of future tradinr on grain exchanges, designed to meet the recent decision of the supreme court In holding the present trading act inoperative in rart, was introduced in the senate today by Senator Capper, Republican, Kansas, chairman of the unofficial senate agricultural Woe and author of the original act. In presenting his new measure Sena' tor Capper said it had the support o? 'he agricultural bloc and Secretary allace and others of the department of agriculture. It was referred to the agricultural committee. The bill is similar to the act declared inoperative by the supreme court, except that its fundamental principle is based on the power of congress to regulate interstate commerce, instead of the taxing power, which was the basis of the present law which the supreme court, held could not be exercised in that respect. The bill, like the present law, provides for designation and regulation of "contract markets" by the secretary of agriculture and admission to grain exchanges of farmers' co-operative associations and the latter a provision opposed vigorously by all established boards of trade. "Another important change" said Senator Capper, in a statement explaining the new bill, "is the provision which substitutes regulation of the use of mails and interstate commerce for the taxing provisions of the previous statute. A further pro vision not found in the preceding sta tute is designed to give the secretary of agriculture power to deal with the ' question of grades that may be delivered on contract, premiums and dis counts, inadequate elevator capacity. and any other conditions that may have similar importance in relation to the prices and executions of contracts. "The grain exchanges have beer bitterly opposed to the provision of the Capper-Tincher law which com pelled them to admit co-operative associations to membership. This pro vision is retained in the new bill and makes it clear that with the exception of the patronage dividend basis of operation, co-operative associations of producers are subject to the same conditions as other members of the boards of trade." The packer control law. Senator Capper added, was in part the model for the new bill to reach the grain exchanges. Similar to the original law. the new bill declares purely specula tive grain contracts unlawful and against the public interest. New Features One of the new features of the MM, exempting actual owners or producers of grain and approved trades mad" in "contract" markets, declares: "That it shall be unlawful for any person to deliver for transmission through the mails or in interstate commerce by telegraph. tclephoiH', wireless or other means of communication, any offer to make or execute, or any confirmation of the pxeoutio" of, or any quotation or report of the price, any contract of sale of grain for future delivery on or subject to the rules of any board of trade in tho United States, or for any person to make or execute such contract or sal", which is, or may be, used for (at hedging any transaction in Interstate commerce in grain or the products or by-products (hereof, or (b) determining the price basis of any such transaction in interstate commerce, or (ci delivering grain sold, shipped or received in interstate commerce for the fulfillment thereof." Violations of this and other clause" of the bill would entail fines of ?1,000 and one ;v?ar's imprisonment. ARBAROUS DEEDS COMMITTED BY TURKS I By Associated Pros) LONDON, May 31.
