While the war labor board will

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. The gov
ernment stepped in today in an effort
to end the tie up in shipping- in New
Tork harbor.
At the request of President Wilson
and with the assurance of the war
and navy departments, the railroad
administration and the ahipping
board that they would abide by what
ever decision was made, the war
labor board agreed to take up the
caae anew, despite the attitude of
the employers. Arrangements were
begun immediately for a hearing

PARIS, Jau. 11. (By the Associated Press).-The
first meeting of the supreme inter-nllicd council since the
American delegation arrived in Paris is expected to he
held at the French fomjrn office tomorrow.
t Notable Gathering.
This will bring together President Wilson and the
premiers of three other principal powers, David Lloyd
George, Georges Cleraenceau and Vittorio Orlando, who
will probably be accompanied by their foreign ministers,
Balfour, Pichon and Sonnino. It is understood Colonel
House will also attend with President Wilson and Secre
tary Lansing, as he had served as the president's repre
sentative on the council until the president arrived here.
The supreme council is distinct from the inter-allied
conference, as the supreme council is confined to the
president and premiers, whereas the inter-allied confer
ence is made up of the full delegations of five members of
the great powers and a lesser number from other jowers.
For this reason the full American delegation will not at
tend the meeting Sunday.
Preliminary Program.
The purpose of the meeting is to arrange a prelhni-
nary program for Mondav, when the other nations willj
be represented and full delegations will be present. The
matter of representation and Monday's meeting of the
inter-allied conference have been the subject of informal
discussion among the various national representatives.
The arrival of the Japanese and Chinese delegations has
brought to the front the possibility of the assertion by the
former of the right to represent the latter, and it may be
that this will be one of the questions considered tomor
row. It is expected that the inter-allied conference will
assemble early Mondav. Sessions, more or less formal.
will likely last several days, with M. . Clemenceau as
temporary presiding officer, pending th,e arrival of be-
lated delegations and the launching of the conference in
its full membership

LONDON. Jan. 11. The main ob
ject of a league of nations, which the
peace congress should create, is to
revent future wars possibly through
arbitration and conciliation, Viscount
Bryce, former British ambassador to
the United States, declared today.
While the congress may not be able
to fix all details, it should settle upon
principles and appoint committees to
. arrang-e the details, he declared. In
a statement to The Associated Press,
Lord Bryce said:
"The creation of some combination
or league of nations, disinterested In
their aims, trusting; one another and
strong enough to enforce their joint
will. Is a fundamental necessity in
order to carry out the settlement of
Europe and the Kant, which is the
task of the conference, and to deter
mine the future of the German
colonies. , ,
"The main object of this league, be
tides providing for the welfare of the
regions liberated from Turkish tyran
ny and safe guarding the new free
states which are to arise, will be to
prevent the outbreak of future wars.
To do this some method of settling
disputes other than war - must be
provided and that, we are all agreed,
must be .found . in the - methods of
arbitration and conciliation. -

the armistice, for which, the German
delegates have been summoned "to
Treves on January 14. The Germans
have not fulfilled several of the armis

by casle last night and was tele

First Official Act.
Mr, Hinee' first offlcial act today was
to delegate the railroad administra
tion's -case in the Now Tork marine
workers' strike to the war labor board
for settlement. In a statement he
pledged himself to "a square deal for
labor with not only ungrudging but a
sincere anS cordial recognition of its
partnership in he railroad enter
prise." The Idea of combining the
several hundred private lines into a
few federal concerns has been con
sidered by Mr. Hines but he said the
questir-"S relating to that subject were
so numerous and perplexing that it
was confusing to try even to list them.
He believes, however, that It will be
I'ntil he became a member of the
railroad administration staff a year
ago. the new director-general was
chairman of the Hante Ka and was
one of the youngest railroad execu
tives in the country. He Is now forty
eight years of age. He became aRiillat
ed with railroads' as a lawyer.
Mr. Hlnes' salary probably will be
determined by the president.
Mr. McAdoo divided his time be
tween tbs -duties of secretary of the
treasury and director-general and re
ceived so compensation for the latter
office.
As assistant director-general Mr.
