B. & 0, RAIL PARLEY Wlli. NOT RESULT IN ' SEPARATE AGREEMENT (By Associated Press) BALTIMORE Md.. July 25 The conference here today bet-ween the management of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad system and representatives of Its striking Bhopcrafts -while permitted by the national organizations involved, will not result in any separate agreement or separate settlement of the strike on the Baltimore and Ohio, according to J. N. Davis, the national union official who is directing the shopmen's strike in the Baltimore district. In support of his assertion, Mr. Davis read a telegram from the railway department of the federation of labor at Chicago, which said: "Conferences will be permitted but no action is authorized." Mr. Davis said he was positive that if the national officers requested the system representatives of the B. and O. strikers not to attend the conference they would stay away. "Inasmuch as the Baltimore and Ohio officials have asked for it, I presume they did not wish to be discourteous in denying it," be said. "A separate agreement with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad would be an admission of weakness of the position taken by the shopmen in this -strike, which is out of the question and not to be thought of," Mr. Davis added. Request for Help He declared that the telegrams sent President Harding yesterday on behalf of the Baltimore strikers appealing to the president to call a White House conference for the purpose of discussing the questions at issue m j an effort to reach a just and equitable j agreement was not an attetnpt to fore-1 stall a separate agreement with the Baltimore, and Ohio, as had been asserted in some quarters. "It is a request to the president for his help ' in settling the strike nationally," the union leader said. I There was some expectation that if today's conference does not result in I peace between the B. and O. and its . shopmen it may formulate plans which will be the basis for discussion at a national conference such as that requested in the telegram to President Harding yesterday. Those who are to take part in the conference were uncommunicative as to its probable outcome, and no expressions as to the issues to be discussed could be obtained in advance of the meeting.

WICKED NEVER SING, SAYS OLD PROVERB By FERDINAND C. M. HAHN. (United Press Staff Correspondent) BERLIN, July 25. A museum of living voices more than 2,000 phonograph plates of prominent personages, of wild tribes and all races is in charge of Professor Wilhelm Dogen of the Berlin public library. The professor believes that from this extraordinary museum he could start a movement which would solidify peace in the world, and he is now trying to arrange for contact with other scientists. "Furthering the mutual understanding of the peoples as well as of scientific progress," he said, "has always been the aim of our work. For instance, the general idea about the Ghurkas is, that they are a savage tribe glorifying in bloodshed. Now lake this record." Sounds Cease. The sounds of a beautiful and melancholy tune ceased. "Can anyone imagine a tribe having such songs and being a mere set of cut-throats," he continued. " 'Wicked people do not sing,' says the German proverb. All human tribes, as we have confirmed, possess songs, . some of which are merry and harmless ones, others full of passion and love, and some, the Slavic and Oriental races principally, which seem to be distilled out of sobs and tears."Professor Dogen says that whereever he had given performances in Germany and abroad, the press has been unanimous in affirming that a wave of practical pacificism had emanated therefrom,- more effective than the speeches made by political pacifists. 18 OIL INSPECTORS LOSE JOBS IN OHIO (By United Press) COLUMBUS, July 25.
