GERMANY'S RESPONSE
TO VATICAN DELAYED
ZURICH, Aug. 30.
Unexpected delny Is holding up Germany's
reply to the peaco note of Pope Benedict
XV. t,ald a dispatch from Berlin today. It
had been expected that the answer would
go to Rome the drst part of this week, but
now the Indications are that It will not bo
transmitted before next week.
Labor Men Fear
Coercion of Workers
CV.iiIImi rl from Paite One
bchedules have been worked out to meet
the requirements of the War Department
that 6 per cent of the State's quota reach
the training camps each day of tho five from
September G and 10. The arrangement has
tho approval of the Federal authorities.
Union leaders representing a score of
trades appeared before the board for the
purpose of presenting Information which
may guldo tho draft officials In the work
of granting industrial claims.
That labor and capital must co-operate
with draft officials was the substance of a
statement made by Walter Wlllard, chair
man cf tho board.
"We want to be fair," said Wlllard, "but
must be fair to all. Our only concern Is
with the Government. Wo are charged with
the duty of aiding In the work of raising
an army, but In doing that muit exercise
care and make it possible for Industrial
plants engaged In war work to keep run
ning. Many men engaged In such plants
must be exempted, but such exemptions
will not be used ns a club over the heads
of wr,rklngmcn."
Wlllard said that ho had received a letter
from a labor leader In which the charge
was made that certain Philadelphia plants
are forcing workers to sign wago and work
ing agreements before asking for their ex
emptions. None of the leaders at today's conference
could offer any direct evidence to support
such an allegation.
CRITICIZE "LAX" BOARDS
Edwaid K. Keenan. president of the Cen
tral Labor Union, said that he had receled
Information from workers In the Mldvale
Steel plant that offlclals ot that concern
aro not hiring machinists who are above
forty-live and that the men are being sub
jected to physical examinations. He felt
that drafting men from this plant would
not cripple the plant because an ample sup
ply of workers could be obtained If the
Mldale officials raised the age limit.
That the labor men aro not pleased with
working conditions In the Mldvale plant and
at the Baldwin Locomotive Works was ad
mitted by several who attended the con
ference. "Let us assume." said John M. Tobln,
general vice president of the International
Brotherhood of Blacksmiths nnd Helpers,
"that a strike Is called at these plants.
What will become of the men who havo
been exempted If they go out on strike?"
James J. Ryan, member of thc board, de
lined the status of such strikers ln terse
language. 'They will go Into the, army,"
said Ryan.
Tobln Implied from this answer that wlw.i
a man Is exempted from army service
Industrial grounus ne wm ot imtcu

... aitiimit co any
the Plant officials may Impose,
"That 13 not the case," added Ryan.
"If we grant an exemption to a man
who works In tho Mldvale steel plant wo
do not grant that exemption for the pur
pose of aiding the plant or the Individual
worker. Wo do so because we feel that the
Government will Je lieneflted. Now, the
exempted man has n right to leave the em
ploy of the plant at any time he wishes,
but the exemption provides that the worker
must engage In a similar work for the Gov
ernment In some other plant. If he goes
on strike. It will not aid the Government."
rtyan and other m'embers of the board
made It plain that strikes would be Inves
tigated by Federal officials and that army
ellglbles involved, would not be forced Into
the army until the merits of the strike had
been determined.

Decision on Tuesday
From Transit Bidders
t'rntlii.ifu from Tare One
"open cut" method Instead of under the
"cut and cover" method.
The City Solicitor held, however, that as
It would be cheaper to do the work under
nn open-cut method the city should rc
celo a rebate If tho change were permitted.
The discretionary powers of the Transit Di
rector would como In when the necessity
should arise for fixing tho amount of this
rebate.
MAYOR ANXIOUS FOR ACTION
The Mayor made It plain throughout the
conference that he was anxious to "go
the limit" to have the contracts accepted
at thc prices given nnd to havo thc work
proceed. Fear that the public would mis
understand and that he might be accused
of making a secret deal with the contrac
tors, he said, led him to Invito the news
papers' representatives to be present nt to
day's conference and to make public all of
tho conditions.
Senator McNIchol and President Jerome
H. Louchhclm, of the Keystone concern,
joined the Mayor In expressing the wish
for tho fullest publicity. In order that the
justice of the company's claims might be
recognized nnd appreciated.
Mr. Louchhelm, with the approval of
Senator McNIchol, then made public a letter
to Director Twining hcttlng forth In detail
the concessions sought and tho conditions
faced.

present conditions would undoubtedly mean
an Increased cost of seernl millions of
dollars. It In iinnrcessarv In r.ill vmm nt.
tentlon to the enormous advanco since Feb
ruary of the present year In thc cost of
labor and materials, particularly the class
of materials entering Into subway construe-
nun, in say noining or tne uncertainty of
obtaining dcllw-rlcs. Therefore, we feel that
If this company la willing to proceed with
the work under the proposalx as submitted
In February and April. In order that the
city might leap the advantages of the prices
then current, tho city should be willing to
make certain concessions to us and we
shou'd be relieved of nny loss occasioned by
conditions over which we hac tin control
In thc prosecution of tho work resulting
from delays.
"While we were covered, under options,
for a considerable portion of the material
to be used In the construction of these
four subway sections where It was possible
to specify definite quantities, under the unit
price Items, where tho quantities required
wcro Indefinite and there was no absolute
assurance as to the amount to be used, It
was Impossible to obtain such options. We
calculate that thc loss to us occasioned b
'the advance In the cost of materials In
oled In these unit-price Items will nmount
to not less than $200,000, to s.iy nothing
of the loss due to the Increased cost of
labor, which at this time' cannot bo esti
mated. However, these Items we arc will
ing to assume.
"What we ask of the city may be summed
up brlelly ns follows-
"First. Should these contracts be sus
pended after operations am started, for
leasons not under our control wo ask tho
city to agree to assume the actual ex
penses Incurred In the maintenance of the
work and tho protection of the public dur
ing the period of such suspension.
"Second We ask the city to agree to tho
pajincnt of the actual expenses Incurred
should the work be detaed or suspended
by reason nf the city's Inability to obtain
right of way to enter nnd underpin thevi
various properties along thc line of the 1
work and to remove tho mechanical equip
ment therein contained, according to the
plans and specifications.
"Third We ask the city to ngreo to per
mit us to prosecute thc entire work in Lo
cust street under contract known as No
203, and also the work In Broad street
under contracts known ns Nos. 103 and 204,
as far as possible, by tho "open cut"
method In placo of the "cut nnd cover"
method described lu the specifications, al
ways with a due regard for the rights of the
public and using every effort to reduce their
Inconvcnlcnco to a minimum. The Arch
street contract, known ns No. 201, would
bo done by thc "cut and cover" method
ns required by tho specifications.
"We particularly ask your consideration
on this point for the reason that by allbw
Ing us to proceed In the manner suggested
we would be hide to reduce tho time o(
completion from six months to a year,
nnd while, during the period of construc
tion, tho public would bo Inconvenienced
to a somcwhnt grenter extent than under
tho "cut and cover" method, wo feel that
the hastening of completion would more
than compensato for thoso Inconveniences,
besides which It would effect a very sub
stantial saving to the city In the wny of
engineering expenses.
"Since lecelvlng your notices ot award
wo hae been In communication with nearly
all of the material concerns from whom
wo hnd obtained options, nnd nlthough they
have not been able to guaranteo deliveries,
we nro glad to sny that most of them seem
willing to do their sharo toward making
It possible to go on with the work, and
hno agreed to stand by the prices quoted
bv them at tho lime the proposals were
submitted.
"Vt'e would prefer, of course, to bo re
Hexed of these four contracts because, under
the present conditions, It Is extrcmoly doubt
ful If this company could complete tho y.ork
w Ith any profit, but from a desire to help the
city to tho limit of our ability to bring about
tho speedy completion of tho rapid transit

Rinex Soles, placed on the market last year, have been
a remarkable success. - ,
Rinex Soles are not rubber, but are waterproof. They are
tougher and more flexible than leather, but cost no more.
You will find Rinex Soles the most comfortable, longest
wearing, most economical and satisfactory shoe-soles you
have ever worn.
