Jon. 11. —An offi cial request has been sent to the striking harbor boatmen of New York to return to work pending action by the War Labor Board, which President Wilson asked by cable to-day to decide the contro versy. Officials think the strike will be over before to-night.

HARRISBURG, PA., SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1919 FOOD PRICES TO REMAIN HIGH IN PEACE DAYS Gallic and Hog Stocks Were Depleted by Demands of War Despite the fact that food condi tions are rapidly returning to pre war conditions, there is little possi bility of any considerable change in prices of meats in Harrisburg and throughout this territory, officials of the larger meat packing branches here told to-day. Farmers in this territory produce large portions of the beef and pork consumed here. Any rise in prices will cause them to release for slaugh ter a larger percentage of livestock and the law of supply and demand will bring the price to approximately the figure at which it now stands. On the other hand, it is not expected that enough will be released or enough meats shipped to Harrisburg to cause any reduction of prices. It is pointed out that American consumers have endured high prices partly becaus ethe prices tire neces sary to stimulate production. Ex ports to neutral countries may re lieve the situation. To that and negotiations are under way for a partial relaxation of the blockade. Ban oil Demobilization Talk The demobilization problem is so delicate that it is not openly dis cussed. Recent incidents in England, caused by the unwillingness of Brit ish soldiers to return to the con tinent, are regarded here by Ameri cans and others as an indication of. what might be cause for grave ap prehension. Some military men feel, it is understood, that the withdrawal of American troops from France might bring a demand from French soldiers to be retnrped to their peace time employments.

BONAR LAW FLIES | TO PEACE BOARD; ; PREMIER ON WAY j President Wilson Not Ready to Yield to All Italy Demands FRENCH PREMIER IN PEACE CHAIR Hy Associated Press I'tirN, Jan. 11. —Georges Clemen ! ceau. Premier of France, will be the permanent president of the | Inter-Allied Peace Conference as a mark of proper tribute to the ! Premier of the country in which the conference is held. President Wilson and the American delegates have agreed to his appointment, which is by common consent of all the delegates. London, Jan. _?!. —The British delegates to the peace conference left 1 for Paris this morning. Premier j Lloyd cGorge, with the premiers of ilie dominions and the representu | tives of India, traveled by the ordi j nary route. Andrew Bonar Law, the Chancellor of the exchequer, j made Hie trip by airplane as lie in , variably does when lie goes to I France. President Wilson, it is said, vir | tually lias made up liis mind how ; far lie will support Italy's claims at ; the peace table and informed Pre j niier Orlando, of his decision, but j that it is probable tiis ideas will not Ibe made known publicly until tho [ peace delegates have been advised | of them. I It is anticipated that the Presi j dent's leanings in favor of Italy do | not go so far as lo warrant the sug gestion that lie is iu favor of giving • Italy control of lhc Adriatic, but : that by a project of internationul j ization he is willing to satisfy the I Italians that there will be no rnlli j tary threat to the east of tliem. ae- I cording to persons supposed to be ; well informed on the subject, j The President is said to realize I tliatthe Italians arc depending al i most solely on the United States for j support, hut that lie lias felt from ' the lirst that he could not endorse ! their claims in full, though he is | said to entertain the warmest syni i path.v for Italy. Foreign Minister Pichon, in a state j ment to-day concerning the altitude ; of the Allied governments toward the j Russian Bolshevik government de j clared that the "criminal regime of | the Bolsheviki" did not entitle them j to recognition as a regular govern j ment. If the Allied governments | should recognize the Bolsheviki, he j added, they would give tiic lie to, ; their policy of aiding the reconstruc- i tion of a regular government by the j j healthy and honest elements of the j j Russian people. While President Wilson has wait- ' cd for the opening of conversations I [ with the premiers of the allied na-■ j tions, he has closely studied the food I I situation, the acute question of de- i j mobilization, and the extent to which \ | he will support the claims it is ez- i j pected Italy will make at (he peace | congerss. American participation in i allied intervention in Russia and ! Poland or other countries and the ! Bolshevist movement are problems j also considered. There is a collateral issue in con- i nection with the food situation | which vitally concerns the economic i situation in the United States. Barge I contracts for food supplies in the! United States were cancelled very i recently by France and Great Brit- i ain. France, understanding that ] American farmers had been spur- ! red to food production by the prom- j ise that their crops would surely he i marketed at good prices, was will- j ing to renew some of these contracts but negotiations with Great Britain i have not so far been successful, j A favorable outcome is hoped for. j but if the British contracts cannot l be continued, some other market ■ must be found for the immense I quantities of food stuffs produced in | the United States in response to con [ tinued appeals that the allies must be fed. The Chinese delegation to the! peace conference now is complete,; al lthe members who were not in Paris having arrivd to-day. The ißritish government recently \ submitted to France a proposition j involving an .effort to obtain a truce ; in Russia which, if successful, 1 would have led to the admission of! delegates of the Russian Soviet gov- I ernment to tho peace conference, ' according to a statement made to- j day by Stephen Pichon the French I foreign minister. The foreign minister declares in hjs statement the opposition of the ; French government to any plan ' which would give the present 80l- ! shevik regime in Russia any recog- i nition whatever. "Tho criminal re- 1 gime of the Bolsheviki," he insists. I does not entitle them to recognition as a regular government and France ! resolved to continue treating the! Soviet organization as an enemy. j The Amerjean delegates to the peace conference disclaimed to-day any of any such proposi- V!on from Great Britain # regarding : Russia as that to which Foreign! Minister Pichon lias replied. Tlieyj state that there has been no change ; in Uie American position regarding , R.sla. which contemplates only the maintainance of protective ! measures, with no aggressive action.
