Hines, former director general of tho railroad administration, returning on Ii Savoi from Europe Sunday expressed tho opinion that results of three years earnest efforts to overcome tho war's destruction were disappointingly short of tho requirements. He had been abroad 1G months acting rus arbiter for the council of ambassadors in Paris in allocating river shipping of the former central powers of the various allied governments. "A great deal of property reparation has been accomplished," Mr. Hines said, "and business has found ways to reestablish Itself to a substantial extent, but so far there seems little prospect of relief from other evils following tho war the heavy but still inadequate taxation, the imtability of currencies, the impairment of public credit, the unemployment, the interferences with Inadequate feeding and clothing of populations and the Intensified hatred and distrust which aro manifested in both foreign and domestic politic in the various countries I havo observed.

Suggest Scheme

To Avert Strike of Rail Workers Public Group of the Railway Board Favors Proposal Offered bv Rail Official. Washington, Oct. 16. Immediate translation of 'ie reduction authorized last July in wages of railroad employes Into reduced freight rates, was uggefted by the public group of tho railroad labor board Sunday night as on feasible plan by which the present controversy can be settled and a strike averted. "If tho railroads will Immediately, in ffood faith adopt this suggestion," the public grour. s-vid in the first statement ismicd f!nce arrival In Washington, "the situation can bo cleared up, freight, rates reduced to shippers, th cost of living reduced to consumer?, and a stimulating effect exerted upon all business. Withdraw ltoquest. Under the plan suggested by the public group, the railroads would withdraw their request for further wage reduction until freight reductions have been completed and "pending action of the board on such petition for further reductions a tho carriers may subsequently submit," the union would withdraw the strike order. The suggestion of the public group for a settlement of the controversy vsoa based, the statement said, on one tit forward by W. W. Attcrbury, vice president cf the Pennsylvania railroad, before a convention in Chicago lat Friday. Immediate reduction in freight rates, it was asserted, would inure to tho benefit of the railroad cmployes and would constitute one of the statutory grounds for a. further reduction In wages, while throtich reduction of tho cost of material. It woult to that extent relieve the railroad.! of the necessity of "relying solely upon wage cuts for a reduction of their operating expenef-." The statement which was given out by Pen W. Hooper, a member of tho groop who said it was drafted by the entire membership, follows: Fact Well Known. "Up until Friday, there was but little, if any danger of a railroad strike This fact in well known to every man in clcso touch with the real situation. The railroad workers .would have brought down upon their heads universal condemnation for resisting by force a wage cut so manifetnly Just and reasonable as that made in July. Tt may likewise bo said that it remains to bo scon whether the Issuance of a, striko order merely because, a petition for a wage reduction is about to bo llled, will be sustained by public opinion. "Tho railroad labor board has functiored for more than 18 months setting hundreds of controversies between carriers nnd their employes, and its decisions, with but few exceptions have been resr e-cted by both side. There would have, been a strike long :igo, if the two parties had undertaken to settle without intervention or supervision the manifold disputes they inherited from tho war period. There Is absolutely nothing in existing conditions that Justifies the carriers and their employes In inflicting tho ruinous re suits of a strike on themsehes and on the publi". There is no amount of propaganda that can convince tli people that either fide is entirely blameless." CONSIDER SOVEREIGNTY OF SILESIAN DISTRICT BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 1 6. IVIitlcal soveignty over the Polish and German sections of Upper Silesia will be immediately determined through the decision of the council of the league of Nations, says th Paris correspondent of La Narion. The plan for preserving the economic unity of the Industrial district of Silesia for 1.", years which is reported to be under conside rati !;, does not contemplate the n-wtrh.-lzation of the territory, uch as was decided upon when the future status of the JSarre basin Germany was determined, the correspondent says. In spite of the fact that Polish or German jurisdiction will i up at or.ee, both the districts will remain united industrially for the period cf 15 years. Materials a prime necessity and semi-manufactured product would move from one district to the ether free of duty, while there would to no division in the use of factories and water .nd electric supplies. The railroads would remain unite.1, with both Germans and Poles participating in their administration The correspondent a.-erts that the commission appointed to control th Industrial district would be n.ade. up of two Poles, two Germans And a neutral member who would a t aA president. The powers would supervise the work of the commlvrion and the carrying out of the plan formulated ty the council of the :arue.
