Polish Premier Meets Allied Com
mission in Posen

Posen, March 10.-Premier Pao-
orcwski arrived here yesterday to eX-
lain to the Interallied Mission the
critical position of the Poles on the
T amberr front. He insisted that I'M

The fall of Lemberg, the Polish Pre-

and strengthen the extreme lett OF
the opposition in the Diet to the

MOORE FOR CONGRESS
Fairfax Lawyer Announces Candidacy
For Representative Carlin's Seat
From Eighth District-Only Candi-
date Thus Far.

r. Walton Moore, distinguished law
yer and member of the convention
which framed the States present Con
stitution, made formal announcements
last night that he would be candi
date for the Democratic nomination tc
the national House Of Representative
from the Eighth Virginia District, to
succeed Representative c. c. Carlin
who has notified Governor Davis that
he would not qualify for membership
in the Sixty-siyth Congress.
The announcement did not come as
a surprise in political circles, since
the name of Mr.. Moore has been link
ed with the office in discussion of pos
sible aspirants since Representative
Carlin decided to withdraw from pub
lie life. The candidate is native of
Fairfax County, and has offices in
Washington, where he is associated
with several governmental activities,
particularly the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Though many names have been men
toned in connection with the Eighth
District vacancy, Mr.. Moore is the
only man so far to make definite an
nouncement of candidacy. Richard c.
l.. Moncure, collector of internal reve-
nue for the Eastern District of Vir-
ginia, has been discussed as a possible
successor to Mr.. Caq|lin, as have Colo
mel E. 2. White, of Leesburg, and
Lewis H. Machen, director of the
Reference Bureau.
Mr.. Moore is we'll known through
out the State as lawyer and was
prominent in the work of the Consti-
tutional Convention Of 1901 and 1902.
The date of the special election to
fill the vacancy has not yet been fixed
by Governor Davis.

FIGHTING IN BERLIN
Revolution Gets Beyond Control of
Leaders-Latter Accused of Treach-
ery-Demand Complete Overthrow
of Cabinet.

Berlin, March 1O.-The revolution
last night appeared to have got be-
yond control of its leaders.
Although the general strike was Of
ficially called eff yesterday after
noon, following a compromise, fight
ing was still going on in several
parts of the city.
A strong minority, accusing the
strike leaders of treacherously play
ing into the hands O. the govern
ment, was demanding complete over
throw Of the cabinet and turning the
country over to control of the soviets.
This sentiment was being fostered
by fear Of hunger, as well as money
and propaganda alleged to be furn-
ished by Russia.
Labor leaders are now TRYING to
separate the workmen's political de-
mands from Spartacan terrorism and
violence with which the radical ele-
ment of the workingman is connect

ers, rather than formal alliance,
which led sailors and soldiers of thu

Savings Swept Away
By High Prices.
1t is common knowledge that
Washington school teachers have
not saved anything. They simply
could not. The few who had saved
little up to the time the war came
on have seen their savings swept
away by the avalanche of high
prices, and today hundreds Of them,
unable to work any longer or barely
able to work, face a future of humil-
iation and want.
Of course the Board of Education
is not brutal enough to discharge
teachers simply because they are
worn out, so long as it knows what
that discharge will mean to the
teacher.
Therefore, teachers who have
given their best land whose remain
ing strength does not meet the legltl-
mate demands of the school room
are mercifully kept on, to their own
humiliation and the detriment of the
school system, which, of course,
means to the detriment of the child.
THE TEACHER DESERVES
RETIREMENT on an annuity suf-
ficient to provide for her needs for
the rest of her life. If there were
no other reason for retirement that
would be enough.
But there is another reason: THE
WELFARE OF THE CHILD.
Together those reasons are ulan-
swerable.
Washington is willing to pay its
share. The people of the country
are willing to pay their share, with
out question.
The Board of Education and the,
Commissioners feel acutely the vital
necessity of a retirement system.
Mr.. Senator and Mr.. Representa-
tive, it's up to you.

employers and employees, which had
not reached the strike stage
1t must be borne in mind that only
about one strike in five ever reaches
official notice of this department
The great steel strike and the present
coal strike are examples.
There were 3,2S5 strikes and look
outs in the United States last year
to cite a concrete instance, and OF
these but 596 were handled by the
Department of Labors Commissioners
of conciliation, while of the 4,35g
strikes reported in 1917. but 3o3 were
brought to the official notice of the
conciliators.
All stubborn Strikes,
Not. only is there a record number
of strikes in actual progress, or
threatened forNthe very early future,
but those whose business it is to deal
with these claim they are the most
stubborn strikes ever encountered
Many employers appear to have de-
cided that now is the time to make
stand against labor and grit their
teeth and refuse to listen to the
grievances of their employees.
On the other hand. it is said that
labor has never before been so sure

enlightened as to its position in So
ciety.
Strikes today have a tendency 20
last longer, and, considering the rec.
ord number OF men engaged, a colo3
sal economical loss in non-productio1
is registered daily-all of which hav-
ing natural bearing on the cost OF
furnishing the family provender.
President To Name Experts.
President Wilson today stands ready
to make public the names OF the
commission selected to attempt So
luton of these problems; the experts
who are to take capital and labor
apart and see what makes the wheels
squeak; who are to offer suggestions s
leading employees and employers to
some sort of working understanding;
in short, TO solve the riddle. of the
unrest now swamping the land.
The new body viii be limited in
size-probably not more than fifteen
men will compose it-though it will
be sufficiently elastic TO include an
other expert or two should such a
thing turn out to be necessary or ad-
visable.
And though the names are being
kept a close secret 1t is understood
that none of the members of the tri-
partite conference which recently
went on the rocks here is included In
the membership of the new round
table.
The list which President Wilson is
expected almost daily to make public
Is said to contain the names of repre-
sentative Americans, men in posi-
tion to probe into the complaints of
capital and labor without fear or IA
vor precisely as a group of eminent
doctors might sit in consultation
over some distinguished patient.
And like such specialists, they are
expected to discover:
The cause of the fever Of unrest.

CONGRESS TO DELAY
BIG POSTWAR BILLS
Senate Leaders Not to Attempt
Any Reconstruction Measures
At This Session.

Congress Is preparing to adjourn
without enacting any big reconstruc-
ton measures.
1t has been definitely decided by
Senate leaders that no more domestic
legislation of Importance can be put
through at this session. They hope
to finish the peace treaty next week
and go home for a fortnight's vaca-
tion before the regular session opens
December 1.
This will leave undisposed of the
big reconstruction measures provid-
ing for the peacetime military poll
icy, reorganization of the railroads
and the tariff.
Want Rail Bill Action.
House leaders are still fighting for
action on the railroad bills, but the
decision of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee to abandon the
Cummins bill until next session
dashes that hope.
Representative Mondell, House ma
jority leader, and others are known
to be displeased at the Senate's fail
ure to cooperate in passing domestic
legislation They are also known
to have spoken sharp words on sew
eral occasions over this situation.
When 1T became known that the
othdtC VIII hoI dklcHpL " pass lHt
Cummfns permanent railroad legisla-
tion at this session, Mondell made a
hurried trip over to the Senate and
talked to Chairman Cummins, but
the situation has not been improved
as result, it is said. Mondell de-
clared the house plans to go ahead
with the Esch railroad bill regardless
Of the Senate's attitude.
Army Bill Held Up.
The army program is in a similar
situation. Bills have been introduced,
hearings held, but no bill can be put
through until probably after the
Christmas holidays
Tariff legislation has struck a snag
The House has passed several bills
to protect the dye industry and other
Industries likely to be hit by Euro
pean competition. These have bump
ed against the stone wall of the
Senate, however.
Senator Smoot offered as a substi-
tute for these bills an anti-dumping
measure to keep out European goods
offered below cost, but Senator PEN
rose, whose word Is close to law in
tariff matters, has determined against
legislation until the economic situa-
tion is more settled.

They Exist Today
Here In Washington.

Well, those same men and women,
insofar as their spirit and labor are
concerned, sit at the desks in Wash

appreciate the patience, the hard
work, the unselfishness, the dedica-

taught us when we were children,
we have the opportunity to show ap-
probation by helping the Washing

Washington's public school teach

away little by little, in such hard,
