GERMAN LABOR IN
FRANCE STARTS ROW
Unions Demand Higher Pay
and Workers Want 'kutur.'
a Stag Correspondent Of TIE Sun.


PARIS, Aug. 13.-The problem of sup
plying German laborers for reconstruc-
ton work in France. as provided in the
peace treaty. which has been under dis
cussion for many weeks between the
Allies and the Germans at Versailles.
has involved the French and German
Governments in disputes with their re-
spective labor unions. which are pre-
venting a IN settlement.
The french unions demand that the
German laborers be paid the French
standard of wages. being opposed in
principle to the importation of cheap Ia
Dor into France. AS the German stand
ard Is somewhat lower, the German
unions do not object to this. but they
have demanded that the German repre-
sentatives require the French to provide
shower baths. music. meeting places and
every opportunity for the practice of
German "kultur" in these communities
Of German workmen.
This has raised a tremendous outcry
nom the French unions. The Germans
are afraid that unless the French ac-
cede to. these conditions they will not
be able to induce the German workmen
to go to France. It has been agreed that
Germany shall furnish $50. 900 workmen.
These are to be used only in sparsely
settled districts like the Chemin des
Danes and Lens.

Mrs. Olive Stott Gabriels. a Republic
can district leader, attacked the League
OF Nations as an agreement by which
American women pledged themselves to
send their sons, brothers, husbands and
sweethearts to war to uphold tyranny
and suffer and die In Africa, Asia and
Europe not for the sake OF American
democracy but for England. Japan and
the International money power.

POLAND PREPARING

koIchak Reperses May Bring
BoIsheuiki Attack.
By the Associated Press.

WARSAW, Aug. ~ (delsyed).-Brig.-
Gen. Joseph Pilyudski, Chief Of State,
and Premier Paderewski to. day re-
viewed n large body OF recruits for that
portion Of the new Polish army OF 25o.-
900 that is being mobilized against the
Rolsheviki. The reverses suffered by Ad-
miral Kolchak. head Of the all Russian
Government of Omsk, IL expected here
to provoke another attempt by the Boil
shevild to invade Poland.
The whole national effort is being con-
ct ated upon strengthening the eastern
trent This effort initiates against ESQ.,
nomic reorganization of the country.
The Polish Government appears to
take only a secondary interest in the
situation which has arisen In Hungary
through the Rumanian invasion and the
assumption of power by n Of the Hapsz
burgs. This interest Is confined to evil
dent satisfaction that the centre OF
Bolshevik agitation In Hungary has
been stamped out.
Thu Polish Government considers that
there is no hope OF a general peace in
Europe until he Russian problem has
been solved, and slender as their ma
tional resources are the Poles say they
must remain under arms to defend thu
-
The Polish Government says that be-
ing on the front line against the Boil
shevik invasion of Europe Poland
should receive assistance from other
nations. Tho capture Of Minsk a few
days ago improves the position OF the
Polish troops, since II disrupts Bolshevik
communications between the north and
south through control OF the railroad.
One serious element of the problem
Poland Is facing is the fact that she
will AVE insufficient breadstuffs tc
carry her through next year, as tht
crops have been considerably damaged
by weather. On the other hand, ir
| Ukraine, within a hundred miles from
the present Polish front, a very large
surplus OF breadstuffs Is promised. II

that area inc support their population

Mr.. Helm then sought to show that

Leaders Of the Republican party who
have pointed u this as the only way
to preserve peace are now advocating
the throwing 1t out the window" said
Hefin continuing. Every one of these
agents is bowling and barking UP on the

Because Of this situation described by
Borah there is n revival of demand for
a separation of the league covenant
from the German treaty. Senator Knox
(Pa.) insists he will bring that proposal
before the Senate In due time and insist
upon II as the beginning Of sensible con-
sideration of the subject.
Senator johnson (Cai.) fully SYM
pathizes with the Borah view. He and
Mr.. Borah to-day Joined In a letter to
Senator Lodge asking that more witt
nesses be called before the committee.
They specified Col. House, Gen. Bliss
and former Ambassador White of the
peace mission; Messrs. Hornbeck and
Williams. experts on Oriental affairs in
the service Of the peace mission, both
of whom resigned because they were
dissatisfied with the Shantung settle
ment, and William C. Bullitt, one Of the
Presidents agents who went to Russia
Opposes Ptecemeal Methods.
Until we know and understand all the
burdens that this treaty will impose on
us we should not by any piecemeai pro-
cedure accept them" said Senator John
son. ''Other burdens and obligations as
great as that imposed by the German
treaty will be put on us by the treaty
with Austria Hungary. With Turkey and
Bulgaria we have never been at war,
yet we are to participate in the treaties
with them and through them will assume
other responsibilities in eastern Europe
and even in Asia.
w should not act on one of the
series of treaties until we get them all.
We are tied up with all the affairs of
Continental Europe. Mr.. Lloyd George
recently said in a speech that In any
future war in Europe or Asia the United
States would be forced in automatically
at the beginning That is the whole
truth, and before we fasten on our
selves such an unheard of obligation the
American people should kno It. The
people do not know. the Senate does not
know-only one man knows. He Is the
| President, and he won't tell.
Further. we should not proceed In
haste with this ratification, ecaus we
have been denied by the President the
information we have asked Of him
The only signer of this treaty Who has
been before us has been utterly unable
to provide us any enlightenment. Every
| slgner OF the document, every individual
with information about II, should be
examined. There can be no Just conclu-
| sion until we get the information thu
far denied to US. 1t Is a monstrous thing

continent. The people are entitled to
