Rely on Law Experts.

The. American peace commission is
depending upon it's specialists in In
ternational law for the preparation
of the American view of important
questions raised in the agenda adopt
ed by the peace conference Saturday.
These are, first. responsibility for the
war. and. second, the framing of a
policy for international cooperation
in legislation directed toward the
interests of labor. Wide differences
exist at present regarding the first
question. particularly as to the re-
sponsibi1fty of individuals. rather
than of governments, for the war.
and likewise violation of the rules of
the war by the central powers.
IT is believed to be by no means
certain that the American delegates
are willing to accept the views of
the French legal authorities quoted
by Premier Clemenceau respecting
the personal responsibility of the,
former German emperor and his gem
erals in the absence of precedents,

French Favor Armed
Intervention in Poland;
"War Cabinet Resumes

PARIS, January % (by tive Associated
Press. )-France favors immediate arm
ed intervention by the allies, in Poland,
according to authoritative unofficial In
fornfa tion. The French view Is said to
be that only military assistance scanssave
Poland from being crushed by the boil
sheviki. and that such assistance nrlst
be given within the nextefew weeks. 1t
is claimed that the sending Of food or
munitions to Poland would only serve
to strengthen the hands of the bolshe-
wiki. since they would ultimately cap
ture the supplies.
1t will be difficult, the Temps thinks,
for the entente mission to Poland to
make its inyestiga tien and report to the
conference before three weeks. The
Temps says that with regard to Russia
it is understood that two suggestions
were discarded by the conference, the
first proposing to hear in Paris repre-
sentatives of all the governments in
Russia, including that of the bolsheviki.
and. the second, the sending to Russia
of n mission analogous to that to Po-
land.

Disorders in Steel Belt

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Oct. 25-Five
hundred Ohio National Guard troops
tonight are mobilizing at Akron,
where they will be held in readiness
for strike duty at Canton.
The order for mobilization was is
sued by Governor Cox this afternoon

John M. Bingham, Of the adiutant gen
erals Office, and other sources, that
severe rioting at steel plants in that
city had not been curbed by local au-
thorities.
The troops mobilzing are machine
gun and infantry companies.
If rioting, which resulted in the Sc
we're injury of number of persons
last night and to-day at the Canton
Alloy Steel Company, continues, it is
expected the troops will be rushed into
Canton Immediately.
Coincident with calling out the Ma
tional Guard, Governor Cox sent a
telegram to Mayor Charles f. Poor
man, of Canton, notifying him he
order to an immediate end or appear
before him Monday to show cause why
he should not be removed from office
A similar telegram was sent to the
Sheriff of Stark County, whom Colonel
Bingham also had reported as being
delinquent in his duties.
Other Rioting Unchecked
Governor Cox announced he had re-
ports from other sources that rioting
was going on unchecked, together with
appeals for aid.
Though only 500 National Guards
men are under orders to mobilize at
Akron, Adjutant General Layton said
more troops could be sent there on
short notice if needed.
Colonel Benson W. Hough, COM
handing the militia, and his staff, to-
gether with local companies, left on
a special train at s o'clock. Another

diateiy on their report, which they hope
to present to the Senate next week.
W. A. Rattenbury, Gary striker, the
first witness to-day, classed all charges
of Red revolutionary activities in
connection with the strike as "a ghost
conjured up to injure the strikers" He
said the American Federation of Labor
was conducting the strike in order to
secure an eight-hour day for the men
ticials in discussing shop grievances.
Sheriff William S. Haddock of Allie
gheny County, Pa, entered a general
denial of charges of brutality made by
the strikers against his deputies and
the state constabulary. He placed the
total number of strikers out in the
Pennsylvania mills at 5000, much less
than other estimates given the COM
mittee.
David Williams organizer of the ma
chinists' union representing employees
fore mentioned in the investigation.
said the men wanted eight hours and
the right of collective bargaining.
ut is true that so per cent of the
men who walked out of the Bethlehem
plants are going back now, starved
back" he said, "but that is what is
making Bolshevists-the industrial au-
tocracy which forces them to submit
to conditions they bitterly resent"
Bernard Moye, a striker, who served
as chairman of the plant collective bar
gaining system at Bethlehem, said he
quit both his job and the Craftsmanship
because the companys policy toward
the shop committee made it appear thai
he was being bribed to yield instead
Of enforcing the demands of the men
In behalf of the United States Steel
Corporation, L. A. McNamee, general
auditor of the Gary works, said rs per
cent of the 10000 workmen there had
walked out September %, but that more
than half Of them had come back.
S. f. Wilson, heater from Gary
said also that more of the Americans
were satisfied with pay and working
conditions and that few had struck
Wilson and McNamee emphasized theil
belief that threats had induced many
| nonunion workers to join the strike
