'"Hie premiers at one time," the Havas dispatch adds, "considered appealing to the league of nations to settle the Russo-Polish problem, but were obliged to recognize that the league as yet lacks means of acting, and that the experiment might result in failure, which would have a regrettable effect on the future of that organization." Paris, Aug. 10.?Premier Millerand returned to this city early today from Hythe, England, where'he conferred with Premier Lloyd George relative tn the Pnliah aitnatinn Ho rofnaaH to make any statements on the result of the conference, having promised the British premier to say nothing until after the latter had spoken in the house of commons. London, Aug. 10.?Great Britain has been' given a few verjr anxious days as a result of the PoUsh situation. Nobody in this country wants to embark in another war. Not only has England no soldiers to send, but the whole community is tired of war and overburdened with taxation. Results df the Hythe conference are considered as a compromise between the British and the French as all tha decisions reached at recent conferences have been. Sundays proceedings were proclaimed by the French to be a victory for the policy of Premier Millerand, but yesterday's seems to have been a success for Premier Lloyd George. The British premier apparently had two policies for dealing with the present situation. One is to arrange terms with the Bolsheviki of Russia and the other is to help Germany get on her feet, both policies antagonistic to what appears to be the French view. France wants the allies to support Poland by all possible means, and suspicion of any assistance to Germany seems to be apparent, as French newspapers have recently been outspoken in opposition to the policy of Mr. Lloyd George. The third imr?r?rtj?nt. memlier r\f tho a 1_ liance, jtaly? was not represented at Hythe, But it is asserted she ip in entire accord with Mr. Lloyd George and has opened deputice relations with Soviet Russia, although heralds have refused to take a similar step. London, Aug. 10.?"I am still hopeful of peace," were the opening j words of Premier Lloyd George's an.(* nouncement in the house of commons Xtoday with regard to the Russo-Polish crisis. * The house was crowded and the tens' lv-was high in anticipation of / the premier's "peace or war" statement. As he entered he was warmly cheered. <? M. Krassin and Kameneff of the Russian Soviet delegation here, wete in the stranger's gallery.

It is their affair. I sincereljr trust it will mean peace but supposing it did not we have got to face that," If the Minsk conference failed because the Poles * refused to accept terms which the Soviet was entitled to exact, having regard to the way in which the conflict started and to the Polish military condition, then the Allies could 'not support Poland, the premier declared. However, if the Bolsheviki insisted upon terms threatening the- independtnce of-Poland, then a different situation * would arise. London Auff. 10.?Outlining the position the Allies had decided 'to take if necessary, the premier said no action would be taken except to support the struggle for Poland's existence and independence. No allied troops will be sent to Poland, he declared. 1% would not be necessary, he said: if the Polish resources were thoroughly organized and well directed. "The next action," eonftnued the premier, "would be to put economic pressure upon Soviet Russia either by naval action or internalion action. Substantial stores," he said, "were available in that quarter of the world which the allies would fpel obliged to send to Poland." London, Aup. 10.?Keplying to an interjection as to what the position of America would be Mr. Lloyd George said: "We certainly are going to appeal to America. Toere is controversy on the difficulty in America that up to the present she has not ratified and that the treaty is the subject conflict between the two great parties. I is not in our power to say what view the American executive will take. I am only judging from the attitude of America at the peace conference. She was a strong protagonist of Polish independence. No man could have taken a more determined and zealous part in setting up polish independence than President Wilson and I am certain that whatever differences of opinion there may be in America with regard to the league of nations there would be no difference of opinion in their general attitude towards Polish independtfice." The premier declared that up to the present Great Britain was taking no steps to assist in any attack on Soviet Russia inside her own territory since the Britisht government's changed policy was announced. The premier declared that if the negotiations with Soviet Russia had broken down because of the Bolsheviki attitude and the allies had cut Russia off from the world outside there would be an end to any trade negotiations. "If they want peace," he said, "they can get it and the London conference proposal was intended to establish peace."

IESS COMPANY mliiot IN SALARIES Chicago, August. 10.?The United States Railway Labor Board today handed down a decision increasing wages of the employees of the American Railway Express Co., $30,000,000 yearly. Eighty thousand men not provided far by j^he recent $600,000,000 railway wage-award, are affected. , The award is retroactive to May 1, 1920. The wage increase amountftig to 16 .pents an hour, will give ipessengers and other -train service employes an increase of $38.40 a month. All other employees will receive an increase of $32.64. Train service employees work on a * 240 hour month basis while all other employees work on a 204 hour basis. Chicago, Aug. 10.?Four unions are r affected by the board's decision. They ar?: "* ?i?-J ? xiig vivaiiciiiuvu ua rwunway a{IG Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and Station Employees. The International Broaherhood of Tfiainsters, Chauffeurs, Local No. 720 of (jfiicago.* ...... The Order of Railway Expressmen. For the purpose of the award the* board divided Express employees im five classes but the increase granted! was in each case the same, 16 cents, an hour. Messengers and other employees in the train service whose-' hours are- computed on a basis of a ^O-hour montn will receive an increase of $38.40. All other employees, working on the 204 hour per month ? basis will receive $32.64 more. The board directs that pay from May 1 to August '81 shal} be paid to employees separately, from their September checks in order that they may know the . exact amount of back pay received. ? Describing conditions' in the ExS#ess service, the board states in its ecision: "As in the case of railroad employees, this long delay and succession of disappointments, (referring to the unsuccessful efforts of the men ig get an increase early last spring) coupled with the pressure of a further rise in living costs, produced deep ri not unreasonable dissatisfaction the part of the Express employees ft greater degree than upon many j of .thai, railroad employees> as the to the employees wefe^^^herafly less than th'dse pa-NT*' for analogous service by the railroads and in many other industries. The Express employees thus felt themselves called upon to make sacrifices as they believed, far beyond those of any other class. For these reasons, and as a measure of jusuee, it was decided that this decision, when made, would be effective as of May 1, 1920, and that the increases herein specified should be slightly in excess of ttyose decided upon for railroad employees performing similar service." Presidents of the Express Unions, who were present when the award was handed down, were non committal on its acceptability but the general impression was that the labor board had been slightly more generous than either the Unions or the Express Company had expected. Two of the Union had demanded increases of $51.00 per month while the other two i asked an increase of $35.00 monthly. The Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and Station Employees will hold a grand lodge meeting here tonight tq pass on the award. About 66,000 of the 80,000 Express employees are said to be members of this union. Washington, Aug. 10.?Recommendations that Express rates tbe increased $30,000,000 to absorb the wage award announced today by the Railroad Labor Board will be filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission soon, it was announced today by T. B. Harrison, general counsel for American Railway Express Company. The Express Company already has before the Commission an application for rate increases approximating $72,000,000 to meet increased costs aside from advanced wages and should all of its recommendations be adopted by the Commission Express charirps wniilH hp inprpnspfl cn no in produce a total of more than $100,000,000 added revenue annually.
