PARIS, Feb. 22, (IT. P.) The Lea.
gue of Nations' army has been halted
ny Foreign Minister Tchitcherin'a bol
shevik wireless. The army was align
ed to go to Vilna to supervise l'leb:s-
clte there and to determine whether
the city shall be Polish or Lithuanian.
The Polish army hidds the. city which
the capital of Lithuania. The bol-
shevikl want to keep the league of na.
fiona from sending in an army to su
pervise the Plebiscit on , the ground
bat B'ich an action would be a virtual
Intervention In favor of Poland. Span
ish, British, Belgian and FYench troops
first tried to get to Vllna through
Switzerland. Tchitcherin-V wirelessed
orders to the Swiss radicals whe
brought pressure on the government
end forced it to refuse the army a
puss&Se through the country. The
strme rhlnftrspiwiiedwhprf tir. attemp-.
ras made to pass through Italy. II
developed today that Tehitcherin pro
ceeded In the other countries in the
same fashion. Rumania, Austria and
Czecho-SlovaV:ia, are In turn, compell
ed throiiRh the threats of their radicals
to turn the league army back.
What u'ould you say to a scheme
that would relieve a Pullman
passenger from giving a coin
porter and yet would
eh a manner that the
Id be entirely satis
fied and would give better ser
vice than at present?
Rounds impossible, does It not.
Yet here is the plan as suggested
b1 a railroad representative in
Pendleton today.
On the Pullman ticket have a
porter's coupon which the pas
songer may give to the porter
If he has had service from him:
otherwise the passengers keeps
the coupon or throws It awaj'.
This coupon when presented by
the porter to the company to be
worth 10 per cent of the actual
Pullman charge, exclusive of the
railroad charge and war tax.
With the plan In vogue a norter
would know that each passenger
carried a.tlp for him if he earn
ed it. Hence Mr. porter houid
be ready and anxious to help. If
he got all hris coupons he would
make more money than he does
now.
It is said the Pullman porters
would welcome the innovation
as they receive very scanty pay
from the Pullman company and
their tips at present are woe
fully light.
The new method would sere
to make the Pullman company
pay their porters through the
passengers when porters render
service. The plan is commended
by railroad worker but the Pull
man officials are lukewarm about
any plan to make them Bear the
porter's salary.
