COMPANY TO TEST
LABOR CONTRACT
Employers Closely Watch Suit of

SEEK TO RECOVER DAMAGES

Employers in this city are inter

trict Court here to test the right oil
union employees to call n strike and
thus break contract with their EN-
ployers.
The suit is unique in that a iudg
ment is being asked against the striking
employees for financial losses caused BY
the alleged contract breach,
Suit was fled by the Schuylkill Elec-
trio Railway. which has not been able
to operate it's lines since the strike
began more than week ago.

law is farce unless it is.
I'm this case the men and the union
had contract with the Schuylkill
Company which would not terminate
until next month. But the road is tied
un tight and has been SO for ten days,
because the men violated their agree

which we think we have redress at law.
Some of the employees own real

life of the church, but also to its
methods of organization. Many Gus
toms and institutions which have been
developed in separate communities may
be preserved within the larger unity.
What we desire TO see is not grudging
concession, but a willing acceptance of
the treasures of each for the common
enrichment of the united church.
ITO give full effect to these princi
pies in relation to the churches to
which we respectively belong requires
some form of corporate union between
them. We greatly desire such cor
porate union. We also are conscious
of the difficulties in the way of bring
ing it about, including the necessity
for corporate action, even with com
plete good will on both sides. In this
situation we believe that practical
approach toward eventual union may
be made by the establishment of inter-
communion in particular instances"

WASHINGTON, May "a (By The

partment Exposition here, is a tiny
vial. 1t contains specimen OF the

in Berlin. A single days output would
snuff out the four million lives on
Manhattan Island. A single drop
poured in the palm of the hand would
penetrate to the blood. reach the
heart and kill the victim in great
agony.
What was coming to Germany may
be imagined by the fact that when the
armistce was signed it was being
manufactured at the rate of ten tons
a day. Three thousand tons of this
most terrible instrument ever con-
ceived for killing would have been
ready for business on the American
front in France on March I.
"Lewisite" is another of the big
secrets Of the war just leaking out. 1t
was developed in the Bureau of Mines
by Professor W. Lee Lewis, of North
western University, Evanston, H., who
took commission as captain in the
army. It was manufactured in a spe-
cially built plant near Cleveland called
the "Mouse Trap" because every work
man who entered the stockade agreed
not to leave the eleven-acre space
until the war was won.
This, of course, was to protect the
secret. Work on the plant was started
eighteen days after the Bureau Of
Mines had completed its experiments.
Tho other preparations to bring the
gas into the war went forward with
like speed, but tho armistice prevented
the Germans from ever experiencing a
full realization OF what they had be-
gun when they turned their primitive
gases on tho Canadians in Flanders in
the early days of the war.

According to members of a delega-

day last called on Secretary Joseph P.
Tumulty at the White House, Postmas-
ter General Burleson's tenure Of Office
will end shortly after President Will
sons return from Paris.
Senators Wadsworth and Calder, all
of the upstate Republican Representa-

master Burleson to protest against the
breakdown of the rural free delivery
system in the country districts of this
state. After the call on Mr.. Burleson,
who made glowing promises, some of
the farmers went to the White House
and laid their grievances before Sec
retary Tumulty.
"lnstead of defending Mr.. Burleson.
Mr.. Tumulty sided with the farmers"
said one Of the delegates yesterday at
the Republican Club. Secretary Tum-

Fires and explosions in and about

are destroying their munitions in
the former Russian capital in an
ticipation of the early capture Of
the city by anti-Bolshevik forces.
There also are indications that the
population of Petrograd has risen
against Lenine's government, the
sound of machine gun fire being
audible from outside the city.
Allied forces on the Murmansk
front, aided by American railroad
troops, are pressing southwark
toward Petrograd, despite the fact
that the retreating Reds are de-
stroying bridges and roads.
American motor launches are ex-
pected soon to be in Lake Omega,
which is connected by a system of
waterways with Petrograd.
BOlShevlk cOmmlSSarles are making

Volga River region the peasants
are preparing to rise against the
Reds and are arming all males be-
tween eighteen and fifty years of
age. Other reports from the ter
ritory menaced by Admiral Kol-
chak suggest the rapid disintegra-
ton Of the rule of the Reds.
Bolshevik newspapers are warning
the people that Admiral Kolchak's
advance, which has Moscow for
it's immediate objective. cannot be
stopped. Reports persist that the
Bolsheviki are preparing to evacu-
ate Moscow.

reported, that the other members Of
the council should be prepared for
the United States not to take a man
date for Constantinople or any part
of Turkey, IS precaution in case
Congress does not approve of q
Turkish mandate.
The reported stand of the Presi-
dent has started two movements with
relation to the Turkish problem. The
first is to place Constantinople un-
der an international commission in
which all the great powers would
have a voice. The second is based on
the assumption that if the rivalries
among the great powers make it in
expedient for Great Britain. France
or Italy to take the mandate TO in

Machine gun firing also has been

the population has risen against the

A great change has come over the
situation in Russia through the sue
cesses of the various anti Boshevik
forces. 1t is reported the Bolsheviki
are preparing to evacuate Moscow,
their capital, while official and unoffi-
cial news Of the last few days shows
Petrograd is closely threatened by the
advance Of the Firms and the Esthon-
ians on either side of the Gulf of
Finland and by that of General May
nard in the region Of Lake Omega.
Bolshevik attadks on the Archangel
front have ceased. In addition the
Bolsheviki apparently have been un-
able to check the advance of Admiral
Kolchak's forces west of the Urals.
"The Daily Telegraph" says the
British and Allied policy of helping
the Russian opponents Of the Bolshe-
wiki to help themselves remains in
force. 1t adds the situation day is
that the movement led by Kolchak is
in fair way to stamp out Bolshevism.
Admiral Kolchak, it is said, is being
assisted by British non -combatant
troops commanded by Colonel John

PARIS, May % (By The Associated
ess).-The council of four to-day
considered the military terms of the
Austrian treaty as framed by Marshal
Foch, commander in chief of the AL
lied armies; General Diaz, supreme
commander of the Italian army, and
other military leaders. Austria's
formidable army of upward of mill
ion men, which was second only to
that of Germany, is reduced by treaty
to $4,000 men; virtually all military
supplies would be surrendered or de-
stroyed and further military produc-
tion abolished.
The naval terms are similarly sweep
ing, all warships being surrendered
and Austria's position as naval
power terminated.
The council also considered the eco
nomic terms to be enforced against
Austria, calling in experts on various
subjects.
1t was announced tonight that the
Austrian treaty would be considered
at a plenary session next Tuesday
and would be laid before the Austrian
delegation probably on Wednesday.
The American delegation has pre-
pared 2 memorandum showing the
status of affairs before the peace con-
ference on the conclusion of the Aus
trian treaty.
This discloses that a formidable
amount of business is still to be trans
acted, besides the Turkish and Bull
garian treaties, covering the whole
range of interallied subjects.
The memorandum runs through many
pages, with scores of headings. It
leaves no doubt that the conference
will continue for a considerable time
after the treaties have been signed
and President Wilson has left, it be-
ing expected that the other American
members will remain to consider mat
ters still requiring attention.

PARIS, May 24.--After the arduous
iabors of various commissions and the
council of four, extending over many
weeks, the fate of Turkey is now Writ
ually decided, with the exception of
possible American mandates. The en-
pire will be carved into FIVE, and pos
sibly six, parts, depending on whether
the Americans administer any. No
part will remain Independent.
Thus, the Turkish Empire will be to-
tally destroyed as sovereign state.
Mesopotamia and Palestine will pass
under British rule; Syria under the
French; the Asia Minor coast, where
the population is predominantly Greek,
under Greece. Armenia's future is in
definite, for Italy may trade off her
claims for other considerations.
President Wilson is again going
against the experts on the Near East.
He recently showed an inclination to
accept the British proposal to permit
the Sultan to remain in Constantinople,
Professor Westerman and other Ameri-
can experts advising that the Sultan
be put off into Brusa or Konia.
The difficulty Of settling the Con-
stantinople regions has been largely
due to the inability Of the PRESIDENT to
pledge America to a mandate, but a
new idea offered to-day may solve the
difficult problem according to what has
always been understood to be the de-
sire of the President and Colonel House
that America control the famous
straits and the capital for the benefit
of European peace and the interests Of
the Near Eastern peoples.
The new proposal is that an Ameri-
can governor general and American ad-
ministrators be appointed Immediately.
