P^jt tijj^against tl^Wortd^ danger of BOb

conversations would be broken off.
'"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.

"If th^y n<^tiate fin agreement at
Minsk we do not propose to intervene
to upset any arrangement which is
acceptable to the Poles. 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."

Nashville, "tenn., Aug. 10.?A joint

solidly for ratification, presented it
in the lower house.
Under the rules the resolution went

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

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.
