Peace Council Also Acts Fa-
Uoring Poland in Galicia.

PARIS, Sept. 25.-The Supreme Council
of the Peace Conference at this morn
ing's session approved the report of the
Commission on Spitzbergen granting To
Norway political suZerainty over the
Spitzbergen archipelago. Norway is
closer to Spitzbergen than any other
country and virtually all of the several
nations which had put in claims to the
territory had waived them before the
commissions report was presented. The
territory Is chiefly valuable for its coal
mines, owned by Norwegians.'
The council also decided that the
Kongu territory in northern Mozam-
bique, detached from the German
colonial possessions, should be given to
Portugal.
The council then took up the Galiciar
question, including the eastern frontiers
OF Poland. A decision Is reported to
have been reached more definitely fixing
the line OF demarkation between Poland
and the Ukraine.
As regards the Polish settlement, II
was learned that the council took as q
basis a line that had been established
in April last, to the east of the Russian
province of Poland, to which Poland
might extend her military occupation
The decision to-day was to put the
region to the west of this line unde;
the sovereignty OF Poland without pre-
judging the future OF the territory To-
Gated to the east OF the line.

Brooklyn Fights Manhattan
for Priority Right.

There is a merry battle going on be-
tween Local 64S of the Funeral Coach
Drivers Union, Manhattan, and Local

Brooklyn is the battle-ground. The trouble
had It's seat, so II said. in a ruling by
the American Federation to the effect
there can only be one union OF funeral
drivers in each city. Brooklyn-the fact
is well known--is not a city. But while
Brooklyn has no independence It's funeral
coach drivers local has. The organiza-
ton refused to disoand. saying 1t was
created LONG before the Manhattan local
came into existence.
Charges are made against the Manhat-
tan drivers that they have refused to
allow the Brooklyn men TO take charge
of coaches and that they have told
mourners they must use Manhattan men

even with these deductions the pay is

feel that the Government cannot keep

means of existence, and as there are
ample opportunities outside, the ques-
tion of leaving the service and making
a living naturally Is attracting scores
of the best men In the navy. All ex-

the most impressive incident of his trip

Mr.. Edwards, commenting on the bust

said:
"Industrially, considerations that ap.

HYLAN SECRECY ON
BUDGET ATTACKED
Public Misied in School Mat
tiers, 1t Is Said.

The weekly bulletin Of the Public
Education Association of West For
tieth street, issued yesterday. contains
an attack on the Hylan administration
for the manner In which. 1t is charged,
details of the $4,000, 900 school budget
are kept from the citizens of New York.
The bulletin calls attention to the fact
that during the Mitchell administration
the budget was printed in pamphlet form
and distributed in advance of the pub
lie hearings. whereas now the only way
an interested citizen can learn the de-.
tails of the budget is to hunt for the
copy on. file at the Board of Education.
such inaccessibillty to the facts"
says the bulletin, SIS bound to cause I'M
fortunate doubts in the public mind re-
garding the character OF the budget.
particularly when II has been preceded
by such other disquleting factors as the
final cutting of the budget behind closed
doors, the general realization of the
fact that the budget does not appear
nearly as generous upon study as a first
glance at the total would lead one to
believe and the establishment of the
public regarding the Mayors contention
that he has provided some $40, 0OO, 600
for new school buildings during the last
49, "NSAP - - ''iHNNSt va ioSlt uc has
not provided a red cent, as that sum
was but a part OF the balance that ex-
listed at the close Of the Mitchell admin
istration."
The bulletin also attacks the Hylan
administration for cutting the appropria-
ton for the school gardens and declares
that the value Of the produce from these
gardens, together with that of the home
gardens organized as an adjunct to the
school gardens, ranges from $4,000
to 100000 a year. 1t cost $4,000 to
run the gardens this year and the forth
coming budget proposes to appropriate
only SSH next year. The teachers
who conduct these gardens, the bulletin
declares, got only from $2.60 to $3.50 a
week.
