The differences between the French and British viewpoints on the German reparations problem which are threatening the breakup of the allied conference were discussed at length over their breakfast this morning by Prime Minister Lloyd George and Premier Poincare.

RAIL HEADS ARE FLAYED
(By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Aug. 9. Twenty-five thousand railroad shopcraft workers, through David WTiliiams. secretary of the eastern strike committee, today sent a telegram to B. M. Jewell at Washington, putting- themselves on record as refusing to accept President Harding's proposal for submitting thu seniority question to the railroad labor board. The telegram read: "In behalf of 25,000 striking railway shopmen in tho New York district, we endorse your stand in refusing to accept the compromise proposition of President Harding. "Located in a district exposed to the poison gas attack, as represented by the lying propaganda of the railway executives, our members have stood the attack without faltering and the morale of the strikers is perfect. "Many of the strikers are ex-serv-' ice men who fought under the stars
j and stripes in the war for democracy, j These men have witnessed our so-
called American railway executive! hire Chinese and Hindu labor to try to break the strike, and under no circumstances will these former soldiers allow these foreign, unskilled workmen to be considered as favored employes in order to gratify the autocratic desires of the American railway kaisers for a condition of industrial slavery for rail employes."
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. Leaders -of the striking railroad shopcraftsmen iu the city occupied themselves today with preparations for the general meeting of railroad union officials they expected to hold Friday and with the issuance of statements declaring railroad equipment to be in a dangerously deteriorated condition. B. M. Jewell, chairman of the strike group, received' notice from Warren F. Stone, chief of the engineers' brother-
! hood, that all of the other brotherhood
chiefs would accept the invitation for conference. T. H. Davis, chairman of the general shopcraft committee of the Pennsylvania, headed a delegation representing men at work which called at the White House and asked . President Harding not to countenance any strike settlement, which would injure the seniority status of men who remained in service in snite of the strike. 5 Per Cent on Job About 65 per cent of the Pennsylvania shop employes, Mr. Davis asserted, stayed on the job, and a great many cf he original strikers had returned.
