Sutton, president of the Master Plumbers' association, declared that the tractors will have no dealings with the union which covers Westchester county as well as Dutchess. There was a promise of an early agreement between the bricklayers and building contractors, however, when Lawrence B. Malone, president of the union, said he hoped negotiations would be completed before the end of this week. The issue which Mr.

Sutton introduced last night entered into the plumbers' wage negotiations last year and caused strike which lasted about eight weeks. That strike was settled, according to Mr. Sutton. when the Journeymen agreed not only to a wage cut but to the demand of the contractors that they sever their connection with the Yonkers and Westchester union. The Plumbers' union several days ago authorized its secretary James Kennedy of Yonkers, to communicate to the Master -association the terms of a new agreement which were not made public.

Observing that he had heard nothing from the union, Mr. Sutton asserted that any communication from Mr. Kennedy will be ignored. Rejects Outside Dealings "Kennedy must be a Westchester man," the president of the contractors' organization said. "At least.

They never got their own number and they are still part of the Westchester county union." Mr.

Sutton was asked what the local contractors would do in case the Journeymen the should refuse Dutchess-Westchester to withunion. He said he could not state what would be done but added: "I think they'll come across." The attitude. of the contractors represents a desire to protect Dutchess county -labor, he explained.

Declaring that by failing to set up their own union the local Journeymen violated their agreement made last year, Mr. Sutton held that no contract exists today.

Seen PARIS. April 26- -France moved towards what financial experts hope will be a three-power financial pact with the United States and Great Britain for the stabilization of currencies. A French financial plan by which that, portion of the British equalization fund which is in francs will be loaned to the French treasury to tide over the present need was under negotiation in Paris and London. Premier Edouard Daladier, meanwhile, was represented by a member of his immediate circle as being willing to ask Parliament for credits to pay $19,000,000 war debt interest due the United States last Dec. 15 it President Roosevelt would offer a war debts maratorium for the duration of the world economic conference.

Premier Daladier, It was said, feels that if President Roosevelt can obtain such a holiday from the present Congress he believes that conditions made when the. French Parliament on Dec. 14 refused to authorize the payment will be fulfilled. Sees Progress Made The French premier also is said to believe that great strides have been made in bringing together the French and American viewpoints on questions which are now, being discussed in Washington by Prime Minister Ramsay Mac Donald of Great Brithin, former Premier Edouard Herriot of France, and President Roosevelt. The proposed accord between France and the Bank of England was described -as being primariy a treasury operation plan, but in financial quarters it was termed a means protecting French gold stores and of helping stabilize the currency.

That such an agreement may become the forerunner of a three-power financial pact for the stabilization of money was expressed by some financial experts here, It was said in official quarters that the negotiations in no way are connected with the American abandonment of the gold standard or with the Washington discussions, since they were originally broached by Finance Minister Georges Bonnet during trip to London several weeks ago. His idea is to borrow the franc portion of the British equalization fund at the current rate of interest instead (Continued on Last Page) MRS.

ARMS PLAN Supervision of All Fighting Forces Offered to Save Geneva Conference: GENEVA. April 26 -President Roosevelt through his special ambassador to Europe, Norman R. Davis, put new hopes into the world disarmament conference today by suggesting the effective supervision of armaments. The United States virtually promised the conference that it will do big things to make the peace machinery more effective, but issued the warning that this will depend on whether other nations make substantial arms reductions. Mr.

advocacy of effective and continuous supervision of the world's fighting forces was especially pleasing to the German and French delegates and was bailed as giving new hope and Impetus to the conversations. He went 50 far as to say "It may well be found advisable to reinforce measures of supervision and control already envisaged." apparently with the idea that a workable pact assuring military. help for an attacked nation may not be possible of achievement. Favored by France France, which has suggested such a plan, has increasingly been in favor of armament supervision as an Important measure of security against attack. Rene Massigli, acting head of the French delegation here, said Mr.

Davis' declaration contained "positive elements of the utmost importance." The American suggestion was that the United States might participate in a system of armaments control similar to that created by the League of Nations to restrict use of narcotics to medical and scientific needs and under which a central committee not only controls but limits manufacture of narcotics. Delegations from Cuba, Russia, Turkey and the little Entente, meanwhile, backed the Polish amendment to British arms reduction proposals. Would Include 'Force' The Polish amendment would provide that "any recourse to force" as well as would be regarded as a breach of the Briand-Kellogg peace pact and henceforth would justify consultation by the powers. The British delegates agreed to approve the Chinese amendment to the British draft which eliminates Japan from those powers whose consent would be necessary for the convocation of a conference in the event of war threat. The Chinese proposal would limit such powers to the United States, (Continued on Last Page).

(Thursday) -Morning newspapers carried long dispatches from Washington and New. 'York concerning the conversations in America of Prime J. Ramsay McDonald with President The News Chronicle, commenting editorially, upon the premier's. visit and the forthcoming world economic conference, said it believed the best news was that the date for the world conference had been definitely fixed. It declared it "hopes and prays" that nothing will happen to disarrange the date.

The newspaper Interpreted the assent of Former Premier Edouard Herriot of France to the conference plans as a favorable omen and President to Propose That Congress Give Brief Moratorium TO EASE STRAIN Would Be Conditional On France's Paying Of Defaulted Sum WASHINGTON, April: 26 UP) President Roosevelt is preparing to send to Congress' a resolution on the war debts understood to give him authority to grant moratorium on payments until after the London economic conference. The move is said authoritatively to be conditional only upon French agreement first to meet their defaulted Dec. -15 interest payment of 261,432. This is being gone into thoroughly by, the president in his White House talks with former Premier Edouard Herriot of France. Exactly what form the resolution would take has not yet been decided by the president but it would be so drawn as to enable him to end the tension created by the appronch of payments totalling some $144.000,000 June 15 in the face 'of French and British warnings, that they would make no more payments under the present settlement terms.

The president's goal is the removal of possible international Irritations which it is felt might otherwise stand In the way of complete success at the world monetary and economic conference to be held in London June 12 under present plans. There the prestdent believes the world war against depression will be won or lost. To Ask Tariff Powers To clothe himself with full powers for the maximum of accomplishment at London the president will ask Congress before long to pass a bill giving him brond authority over tariffs, including the lowering of specific American duties on a reciprocal basis with foreign nations.

Already the president. and Prime Minister Ramsay McDonald of Great Britain had made known that atart had been made on a solution of the British war debt problem. MacDonald hended back to England today, expressing himself as well pleased wita his trip. Fast unfolding events revealed the disarmament, debt and economic conference plans of the president as comprising a unified whole out of which he hopes will come a more prosperous world.

To the solution of the common problems of the nations, he has made clear to the visiting statesmen, the United, States da ready to contribute its full share by lowering excessive tariff barriers and in other. ways. Whatever progress is made at London, the president feels, will have definite, bearing upon the war debts as a revival of trade and Increase in prices would directly affect the debtor nation's capacity to pay.

This is expected to pe pointed out to Congress by the president who will be in position to predict far-reaching economic and financial readjustments at London which would have a definite bearing on the debts. The administration is ready to follow a policy which would tend to make the debtor nations better able to pay in goods sold in the American market. Side by side with a solution of the immediate question of the June 15 debt installments the president was working out means of bringing about realistic steps toward disarmament through American agreement to consult with fellow-nations in event of a threat of war. A re-cementing of Francorelations was seen as having a definite bearing on the increased optimism pervading the newly reconvened disarmament conferene at Geneva. The president regards the support of heavy and expensive armament as one of the factors in prolongation of the depression.

There were indications that -in return for the war debt postponement and assurances of the American willingness to consult in case of a violation of the Paris peace pact the French would make some definite concession at Geneva which would permit of concrete accomplishment toward arms limitation.
