Federal Trade Board Reports on Readjustments During Month of November
END NOT IN SIGHT
Washington, Djec. 4.—The end of the re-.-idjustment period in business is not yot in sight, the federal trade reserve board statea tonight in its review of bu.slness conditions for the month ot November The board said it is im¬ possible to estimate how much further unemployment and aommerci;»l dis¬ turbance m.ay occur before the re¬ adjustment is complete
Salient features of the month's busi¬ ness developments as    noted    by    thei board    include:    Continued   decline   in I prices, the boards general index regis- | tering a net loss for the month of 18 points i
Further curtailment of manufactur- I ing with consequent Increase of unem- , ployment i
Reduction of buying power which is ' lessening the volume of trade.
Diminishing of market for agricul¬ ture products.
Increasing cancellations of orders for export, particularly for South Ameri¬ ca.
"Thc general opinion of bankers and financiers," said tbe review, is that the process of readjustment has been kept I under control and has produced as lit-, | •tie   economic     disturbance   as     might |
rca.'?onably have been'expected.    It isj 	
impossible   to   estimate   the   extent   to i
which the completion of the readjust-1 Washinoton Hears of Crash at

Motor Car Flirts   Will Be Arrested; Mayor Supports  Civic Club Appeal
Young men who use their automobiles to lure girls found on the streets, were made the target of a new crusade started in this city yesterday aftemoon when a committee of women, representing the Civic Club, held a conference with Mayor Dainiel L. Hart. As a result of the meeting, the Mayor declared last night that policemen will be immediately instructed to cause the arrest of all motor car operators devoted to the "picking up" practice.
The Civic Club delegation that called on Mayor Hart con¬ sisted of Miss Kathryn Toohey, Mrs. G. L. C. Frantz and Mrs, John Sturdevant. They informed him about certain conditions which exist in the city, as revealed in an investigation by the club. Their indignation was directed agziinst the type of auto¬ mobile driver v4io runs his machine slowly along the street or parks it along the sidewalk until he attracts the attention of a girl.
The Mayor was told* that the practice exists largely in the central city under the eyes of the police, although it is found to a smaller degree in the residential districts. It has grown to such proportions that it has become a menace, it was said. Af¬ ter the conference. Mayor Hart declared that he is ready at once to start the crusade on "motor flirts." He said that he was impressed by the reasonableness of the women's demands and their sincerity in the effort being made by the Civic Club to im¬ prove social conditions here. The order to the police to cause arrests will likely be given to the police today, or the Mayor may wait until Tuesday's meeting of city council, when he "will take formal action by placing the matter before the other of¬ ficials.

Maiden, .Mass, Dec. 4—Wiliam R. Hansen, janitor, who inherited $250,- 000 from .an uncle ,will continue to sweep .and scrub the litlie drug store ¦where he is employed, he said tonight, but he is determined on one luxury.     i
day.
The action of the South American republic furnished anti-league Sena¬ tors and reservationists with the text for statements which, boiled down, amounted to "I told you so."
Administration Senators were silent. Among other officials friendly to the league, the idea .that more nations might withdraw was scouted and be¬ lief was expressed that a compromise' would be found which will allow Ar¬ gentine to rescind her decision.
All   nation.s,   however,   watched   the
; league  developments  with  interest  as
furnishing the first test of th© league's
ability to hold its members and    keep
I itself from breaking up on the shoals
of conflicting national interests.
I     Senator Borah .leader of the lirecon-

sen's   most   intimate   friends,   declared i tionists,  commented   that   it appeared
that every offer of m.arriage would be passed upon by them before I^ansen Hansen believes he ¦will be unhappy Jf he gave up his work. He has not thought of purchasing a flne home or a fleet of automobilea But there .are some things he looks upon as necessl

Among officials of this government In touch with Pan-American affairs it is believed that Brazil, or Chile, the other members of the South American big three, will sympathize with the ac¬ tion of Argentina.

SESSION OPENS MONDAY
Washington, Dec. 4.—Immediate re¬ peal of war time laws and suspension of all immigration for at least a year will be put at the head of the House legislative program upon re-conven¬ ing of Congress Monday, the House Republican steering committee de¬ cided today.
Bills have been prepared and will be introduced Monday, Representative Volstead, chairman of the House judi¬ ciary committee, will spohsor the war l;iw repealer and Representative John¬ son, chairman of the immigration com¬ mittee, the immigration measure.
Work on two bills will bo started Tuesday after Congress hears the President's message and leaders' hope to have both passed before the Christ¬ mas holidays.
Republicans believe they can pass the war time repealer even if the Presi¬ dent veteos* it They depend on the Democrats supporting it, because of a demand for .a return to normal condi¬ tions as rapidly as possible.
Not all of the war laws will be in¬ cluded in the repealing act but tire Overman act allowing the President to reorganize government bureaus, the espionage act, the selective sem'ice act, the Lever food and fuel act, the service men's moratorium act, tho censorship of foreign language publications and acts creating many of the war biire.au.s, are sl.ated to go.
Whether the trading with the enemy act, which prevents trade with Ger¬ many, In the House favor such action.
The question Whether the war fi¬ nancial corporation shall be revived will be considered.
War time prohibition will probably be included in the repeal, but since constitutional prohibition Is effective, not even the anti-Saloon league is ex¬ pected to object to that
The steering committee wax said to be of the opinion that the increasing flood of immigrants ¦with unemploy¬ ment and congested living conditions increasing in this country, demands immediate  attention.
Norfolk, Va_, Dec. 4.—^Declaring agaiast government that "continues the burden of war taxation in times of peace and is suspicious of successful business," President-elect Harding, in an adress before a businessmen's meet¬ ing here tonight said "that belongs to soviet Russia."
"I w!i,nt a government that has less to do with business and injects a little more business into government," he said. "Thero is too much suspicion in the United States and too much drift to paternal socialism. I believe in gov¬ ernment ownership of anything"— (this sentence was drowned out here by applause).
Continuing, Harding said that "if I had my say within ten days after the order had been issued, millions of tons ofiAme'-ican shipping would be in the hands of American entorprise.
"I don't care how big business Is so long as it is righteous."
Praising the Panama canal, Hard¬ ing said it ought to bring more com¬ merce.
"Great achievements .await in Latin- 1 America,' 'he continued. "Theyi only av.ait understanding to give us thtir confidence. We can't expect sales to be ¦wholly one-sided, but I am in fa¬ vor of bringirg only those things here that we cannot produce in the United Slates. I believe in prospering the United   States  first."
Expressing the belief that It wiU take some time before there ¦will be an equalization of wages and working conditions, Harding said: "Until that time I want tbe world to bring its standards up to ours, never to lo^wer ours."
London. Doc. 4.—Senator Medill Mc¬ Cormick, who is reported to be in Europe to look over the ground and see whether it will be possible to form a new association of nations as sug¬ gested by President-elect Harding, ¦will go to Paris tomorrow.
While here he had a series of con¬ ferences, he .said, with men in political life, bankers and shipping men "from whom I secured much information with reg.ard to business and economics ojri the continent, especially central Eu¬ rope, concerning the problem of re¬ creating market in which America as well as England figures."

SENSATION CONFESSED IN MURDER OF WATERS
Although his body did not con¬ tain a scratch or a bruise, John Za- bolonis, 30 years old, of Charles street Blackman's Patch, was found fatally Injured yesterday as the re¬ sult* of an odd accident in the Franklin colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, He died while first aid workers were assist¬ ing him to a relief station. An ex¬ amination made when the case was reported to the coroner's office re¬ vealed that his back had been broken.
Zabolonls was found helpless In a sump of No. 7 slope of the colliery during the afternoon. Other mine workers discovered that while he hed been pushing a coal car up an inclined, track, he had stumbled, causing the car to drop back. In sliding down the rails the car squeezed him against the wall.
The first aid workers saw that Zabolonis bore no outward marks of yiolence. When an effort was made to raise him to his feet he was help¬ less. Believing that he was only dazed, the miners were carryinsj him to the relief station when he expired. It was then that a thorough examination showed his back to have  been  broken.
Officials at the collieir described the accident as being the most un¬ usual in the history of the Franklin mine. Car accidents are usually fol¬ lowed by severe body bruises and surface lacerations, they said, but in the case of Zabolonis the fuU force of the accident was felt in-
Lwardly.    The "victim is survived by four children.  ;

London, Dec. 4.—A wireless message sent   out   from   Moscow   today   stated that    .Armenia   had   been   declared     a soviet republic and that peace between the    Armenians and thc Turkish    na¬ tionalist forces   of   Mustapha    Kamel was being brought about by the work¬ ings of Bolshevism.    It intimated that there was no reason for President Wil- j son to attempt mediation in that coun- i try as Lenine and Trotzky had already ' succeeded in doing more than he could possibly do.
"In one blow the age-long enmity be¬ tween the Armenians and Mussulmans has been finished by establishment of solidarity between the woikers of Tur¬ key and Azerbaijan." said the wire¬ less. "Neither Britain's assurances nor Wilson's promises nor the league of nations could save Armenia from mas¬ sacre and annihilation. Soviet rule h.a.s brought peace in Armenia. On Wednesday the soviet at Azarbalj^n renounced the disputed provinces and handed them over to Armenia." '
It was reported in diplomatic crclles tonight that the Turks were shifting large forces from Azerbaijan to Asia Minor to attack the Greeks.

London, Dec. 4.—Rumors of impend¬ ing peace in Ireland flew thick aud fast hei-e tonight
Premier Lloyd George, from behind the barricades and bayonets that .guard his residence at historic No 10 Down¬ ing street, was reported to be conduct¬ ing quiet unofficial negotiations with Sinn Fein leaders seeking a basis for peace.
The premier, it is understood, is holding out for absolute cessation of attacks on British forces in Ireland before there can be peace proceedings. This will vindicate his Irish policy, sup¬ porters of the ministry declare, and strengthen   the  government's   position.
Lloyd George reported dickerlngs with the Sinn Fein were v.-ithout any official confirmation whatever and it was believed that if they came to naught nothing official or semi-official wouid ever be permitted to leak out concerning them.
Belief that there is "something in the, wind," however, was bolstered up by a Dublin dispatch this aftemoon. report¬ ing that the Galway County council— all Sinn Fein—had passed a resolution requesting the Irish parliament to ap¬ pointed three delegates to negotiate a truce with British forces to be followed by  an  honorable  peace.
One report had it that Arthur Grif¬ fiths, leading head of the Sii;m Fein, who was arrested in a recent raid, would be .asked to guarantee cessation of attacks and that he ami other lead¬ ers seized in the recent "round up" of Sinn Fein chiefs throughut Ireland would be liberated'if they promised to restore order and abide by the deci¬ sions of the proposed peace tribunal. Ireland was quiet, but whether because there was a prospect of a "Christmas peace," or because the Sinn Fein lead¬ ers were all under arrest could not be told.
Dispatches from Ireland said the British were continuiijp to arrest Sinn Feiners and that the nowly construct¬ ed interment camps, similar to those built for German prisoners during the war, were beginning to fiill with the captives.
Murdera Condemned
At a big mass meeting in Albert Hall today, presided over by Lord Betinck, with former Premier H. H. A«q«lth as the principal speaker, a resolution was presented condemning the murders in Ireland and the government's failure to secure conviction of those giiilty.
The resolution further condemned the government's immoral ineffective IKilicy of reprisals, involving revenge on the innocent. It demanded that the government abandon attempts to re¬ press crime by crime and that imme¬ diate action be taken to restore peace in Ireland to reconcile that country •with the united kingdom.
Asquith was frequently interrupted during his sr^rj^h. Sinn Feiners in the H'nVence yij-d: "They were mur¬ dered."
Asquith said: "Let's have an armis¬ tice as a first step on the road to peace. Let's try to get in touch, not with mur¬ derers and conspirators, but with those really representing the main body of Irish opinion. I am convinced that such opinion will favor consolidating and unifying."
WESTERN REPUBLICS PROVOKE NEW CRISIS AT GENEVA MEETING
Argentine Withdraws After Making Sensa¬ tional Demands and Other Countries of South America are Declared in Readiness to Draw Sharp Lines Against Europe
CANADA DENOUNCES ARTICLE TEN
Geneva, Dec. 4.—Leading delegates to the League of Nations assembly met tonight to see what could be done to prevent disruption following the wtihdrawal of the Argentine delegation today.
Among Latin-American delegates the impression prevailed that Paraguay, Peru and Bolivia are most apt to follow Argentina's course, although none will act pending instructions from their governments.
It was believed the break may result in an alignment of the old world against the new, since those at the informal night session con¬ ceded Honorio Pueyrredon of Argentina was apt to draw support of public opinion in both North and South America.
Delegates plainly were upset by Argentina's action and they wore a worried air as they gathered. Possible concessions to Argen¬ tina, especially in the granting of immediate amendments to the league covenant, were discussed. Since the Argentine delegation will remain in Geneva until Wednesday, it was believed action may be taken in the Monday session to make possible a graceful return of the delegation. Pueyrredon' declared he was intent only on amend¬ ments which would have no bearing on' the Versailles peace treaty.
Leading delegations said they would favor amendments, espe¬ cially to article ten, if it would permit the entry of the United States. England opposed some of her own dominions in this.
A Western Revolt
The League of Nations tonight faced a revolt of the powers of the western hemisphere, which threatened it with possible disaster.
The Argentine delegation has withdrawn from the assembly. .All the other Latin-American nations are reported preparing to follow.
Canada, New Zealand and Australia | The Canadians were"understood to be have swung to the support of Argen- | thoroughly determined to force their tine. mcasuro through, virtually demanding
"There is no knowing whero this will j halt," .Arthur Balfour. British represen- r tative, declared in .an agitated manner.
Viviani of Franco, and Tittoni, of Italy, also were plainly excited. Offi¬ cials hurried about with tense, worried expressions. Many conferences were scheduled for the week-end in order to agree on a line of action before Mon¬ day's session.
Many delegates said that what they feared would happen had happened and that the ne"w world was arraying itself against the sides of the old world. Maivy delegates were alarmed, fearing that the whole league structure built up out of the blood .and agony of the war, was crumbling away before their eyes.
The breach was opened when the Ar¬ gentinians absented themselves from the session today on the ground that President Hymans had unjustly over¬ ruled the motion vote of Honorio Pueyrredon against the proposal to de¬ fer all amendments until 1921. How¬ ever, when Hymans called on Pueyr- rendom and told him the question prob¬ ably would be reopened I'ueyrrendon would   not  return  unless  four amend-
for discussion Monday,
C. N. Rowell, of Canada, exploded a bombshell when he declared he backed up Pueryrredon's attempt to secure action on Argentina's amendments. The Australians and New Ze.alanders swuns' into line and threw their support to Argentina. There was the wildest con¬ jecture as to whaf would result from the bolt and threatened bolts. Witlj the L.atin-.\mericans, Canada, Aus-f tralia and New Zealand trembllpg on the verge of quitting the assembly, the most optimistic of the old worl,d dele* pates did not see how the League could hold together.
"The withdrawal was on my initia¬ tive, but in full accord with the wishes of my government," said Pueyrredon. "We will remain at Geneva until Wed¬ nesday winding up our affairs. Then v.-e will leave unless the assembly jiasses our amendments. We will not be present Mond.ay.
The amendments introduced by Ar¬ gentine provide for admission of all sovereign states to the league, for ad¬ mission of delegates from small states which are not entitled to full member¬ ship, for election ot the council by tho
ments   introduced    by    tho   Argentine i ^'^^-'^fmbly and for the international tri- delegates were passed at once. I tjiinal  to have compulsory Jurisdiction
Reason   For Withdrawal
Pueyrredon's formai notice of with¬ drawal recited that his country had been given to underst.md that amend¬ ments to thc covenant would bo ac- _ceptable. Those proposed by Argen¬ tina were not in conflict with the Ver¬ sailles treaty, he said, and refusal to act on them ended ihe delegations's mission.
"The Invitation received by Argen¬ tina asking her to participate in the flrst assembly of the league of na¬ tions said tho covenant was subject to amendment for the purpose of perfect¬ ing the world's new peace instrument Consequently we prepared to present an amendment," Pueyrredon said.
"It Is nii4,essary to distinguish be¬ tween amendments which might affect the Versailles treaty and those in¬ tended only to assure peace for all."
"The Argentine amendments came under the second category. We thought they would be taken into con¬ sideration as fundamentals, but Thursday's    vote    ended    that    hope
over disputes.
The trouble which now seems "trt threaten to wreck the league started when the assembly had before it a moJ tion to reier all amendments to a com-" mission and take no action on them until 1921. This was considered desir- .able because it was expected tha. United States would want certain changes made in the covenant If It came in and leaders did not want to make changes at two sessions. Majority Not Ruling.
When the proposition of deferring ot amendments came to vote Pueyrrendori voted against it. President Hymans ruled that a unianimous vote "was not necessary in caso of procedur* and that therefore the motion prevailed despite Argentine's adverse ballot. Pueyrren- don contended it was not a matter -of procedure, but he w;ia overruled by Hymans.
Rumors that Argentine would with¬ draw were circulated shortly afterward. At  this  morning's session   the  Argen-
