London, Feb. VA general strike
in Warsaw is reported by Reuters
Amsterdam correspondent. The Ger
man papers print only briet and un-
satisfactory dispatches regarding the
situation there.
An Amsterdam dispatch forwarded
by the Central News reports that
great excitement prevails i'll Warsaw

The resignation of the Polish cab

Form Polish Army.
Reports in Warsaw that Polish regii'
ments of the Russian army have OF
fered to place themselves at the dis
posal of the Warsaw government arc
causing serious anxiety in political
circles in Germany. At the moment
when the whole Polish nation, in Po'
land, Austria and elsewhere, is oppos,
ing the peace with Ukraine, the lorna
ton of Polish army is especially sig
! nlhCant.
The reports thus mentioned seem
to suggest that the Poles have sud
denly appeared as an important mill
tary factor. The Polish legion have
stiffened their discipline and increased
their strength under General Mus
nicki, who offered their services to the
Polish regency council.
The importance of the movemen

WILSON REFUSES
TO CONFER WITH
STRIKE LEADER
Declares Ship Yar0 Carpenters
Are Giving Aid and Comfort
to the Enemy by Quitting
Work.
(By Associated Fress.)

Washington, Feb. l7.--President
Wilson has telegraphcd William L.
Hutcheson, general president of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and join
crs, that he can see nothing to be
gained by comforting with him person
ally about the strike of ship yard car
penters until Hutcheson has accepted
and acted upon the principle that in
the present circumstances OF the ma
ton no body Of men has the right to
strike until every other method OF
adjustment has been tried to the limit.
"If you do not act upon this prin-
ciple," said the presidents message,
you are undoubtedly giving aid and
comfort to the enemy, whatever may
be your own conscious purpose"
Presidents Letter to Hutcheson.
The presidents message was sent
in reply to one received yesterday
from Hutgheson saying he had been
unable to reach all understanding
with officials of the shipping board
but felt that if given an opportunity
to lay the matter before the president
solution could be arrived at quickly.
-Et'~was made public tonight as
follows:
II have received your telegram Of
yesterday and am very glad to note
the expression of your desire as a
patriotic citizen to assist in carrying
on the work by which we are trying
to save America and men everywhere
who worked and are free.
Taking advantage of that assur-
ance, | feel it to be my duty to call
your attention to the fact that the
strike of the carpenters in the ship
yards is in marked and painful con-
trast to the action of labor in other
trades and places.
Ships Necessary to Nation.
"Ships are absolutely necessary for
the winning of the war.
mo one can strike deadlier blow
at the safety of the nation and of its
forces on the other side than by
interfering with or obstructlng the
shipbuilding programme. g.
"All other unions engaged in this
indispensable work have agreed to
abide by the decisions of the ship
building wage adjustment board.
This board has dealt fairly and
literally with all who have reported
to it. T.. :,
it is your duty to leave to it the
solution of your present difficulties
with your employers and to advise
the men whom you represent to re-
turn at once to work pending the
decision.
No Right to Strike Now.
"No body of men has the moral
right in the present circumstances OF
the nation to strike until every method
of adjustment has been tried to the
limit. If you do not act upon this
principle you undoubtedly are giving
aid and comfort to the enemy, what
ever may be your own conscious
purpose. -,
Il do not see that anything will
be gained by my seeing You person
acted upon that principle. 1t is the
duty of the government to see that
the best possible conditions of labor
are maintained, as it also is its duty
to see that there is no lawless and
constituencies profteering and that
duty the government has accepted
and will perform.
&" Will you cooperate OF will you
obstruct?"
