THE lid comes Off on Monday. un-
less conferences between representa-

Both Sides Claim Gains.
Union officials asserted that more
men were added to the ranks of the
| strikers during the last twenty-four
hours, while the company officials
claimed that quite a number" who
walked out have returned to work.
The western brokers' division of the
Commercial Telegraphers Union 'ot
America have decided to take a ref

,, members on the question of joining

will be known in two or three days
'The question of sympathetic
strike was thoroughly discussed" said
F. A. Davis. president of the brokers'
division. "and 1t was the consensus
OF opinion that no good could be &C

The real issue consists of the matter
Of broker men handling contraband

ALLIES HAVE FIXED
RUSSIAN POLICIES
Aid for KoIchak First Con-
crete Step in Fight on
B0ISheviki.
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN.

Not at any time since Kerensky
was overthrow and the boIshevik
era ushered in has there been such
optimism as to the reviving of set
tied order in Russia as at the mo-
ment. Everywhere In Washington OF.
f1cialdom there exists firm belief
that the allies decision to recognize
the de factoe government of Admiral
Kolchak and extend to him material
aid in his campaign for the rejuvena :
tion Of the nation. definitely sounds
the death ,knell Of Lenin and Trotsky
within Russia in m amazing short
Though the allies In Paris and dip
loShats OF Washington have been
much concerned over the develop
ments in Hungary and possible over
emit Austrian government. the news
that the allies would assist the Kol-
chalk regime has increased the feel
ing that. even should the reds in
Hungary and Austria seize power
and. in turn. extend their influence
to Czechoslovakiaa and Rumania. Kol-
chalk may soon have euficfent power
to press in from the east, and at least
destroy the fountainheads and direct
ing geniuses Of the bolshevist move
ment in neighboring countries.
Bolshevists Are Active.
It has been definitely established
that bolshevists of Hungary. Austria.
Rumania and the discordant elements
Of Poland and Czechoslovakia are ac-
lively led. financed and directed by
bolshevist agents out of Russia.
Lenin and Trotsky have established
great schools of bolshevism in Rus
sfa,, where followers are not only
taught military tactics, but are thor
oughly schooled in the spread OF boil
shevist doctrines. Some Of these men
have been scattered over southeast
ern Europe. where they were work.
est possible results before the sign
ing of peace will permit allied gov
ernments to carry out a general pol
icy leading to the extinction Of the
bolshevists. Should peace be signed
within the next two or three weeks
1t is known in Washington that the
French. British and Italian govern
ments will initiate pretty we'll estab-
lished plans for combating the boil
shevist. Owing to divided interests
at the moment it IL difficult for Eu-
ropean governments to get their ma
chinery in motion against the reds.
There are certain social and eco
nomic conditions in various countries
which forbid any radical policy at
of definite order come out of the
peace conference there is nothing to
prevent the allied governments in
Europe from embarking on their we'll
defined plans to stamp out the hot
beds of anarchism and sedition. Con-
sequently the bolshevists of Russia
and neighboring countries are work
their strength in every possible di-
rection.

Allies to Move systematically.


The recognition of the Kolchak re-
gime as the de facto government of
Russia Is but one of the allies plans
to proceed systematically to cure the
cancerous bolshevik sore on the Euro
pean body polite. >.
Kolchak already has the backing of
tho majority Of the anti bolshevik
forces of Russia. he has sufIicient
men. good organization and his pres
tige Is growing by leaps and bounds.
according to advices which have
reached Washington. The one thing
that he has needed most is munitions.
Running close second is the question
Of finances. With some definite
financial policy there must result bet
ter economic and social conditions, all
Of which will tend to enhance the
power of the Kolchak regime.
This is the first time that any con-
sistent definite policy in combating
the bolshevists Of Russia has been
adopted by the allies.
No Troops to Be Sent.
Though every assistance will be
given to Kolchak and Denikine in
their co-ordinated campaign against
the bolsheviks, 1t is made plain that
the allies will hardly send their own
troops into Russia. leaving Russians
themselves to solve their own din
culties. However. 1t is exceedingly
likely that the forces of European
powers which are still in Russia will
remain there, including the American
forces. which have been largely oc-
'cupied on the Siberian front in guard
ing supplies and communication lines.
There Is every reason to believe
that II the Kolchak regime is given
financial aid. munitions and economic
stores his movement will grow apace.
Moro optimistic students Of the situa-
ton In Washington are inclined to
believe that the end Of the present
year will see Russia reclaimed to law
and order.

Presidents Brussels Trip.
If no other developments arise
President Wilson probably will make
his trip to Brussels between Wednes-
day and the expiration of the Ger
man time limit.
Some notifications were made be
the council yesterday in the labor
covenant in the peace treaty. The
existing labor situation in various
countries. coupled with clever Ger
man tactics. had resulted in this part
of the treaty becoming one of the
principal points of attack in the coun-
ter proposals. The situation caused
lengthy discussion, which resulted in
certain notifications in the conven-
ton.
Preparations Commission Fair.
The allied reply to the German pro-
posals. il developed today. will lay
particular stress upon the character
of the permanent reparations COM
mission. 1t will be explained to the
Germans that this commission is not
tyrannical body, but that it will ad-
minister it's duties in spirit OF fair
ness and helpfulness, so as to facii-
itate Germany's economic reconstruc-
ton.
II is learned that the short time linn

nights dispatches said only two d4ye
would be given for the answer. with
| three days of grace before the ar
mistice was suspended in the event
of a German refusal to sign.)
Council Is Optimistic.
While reports from Germany on the
prospects of Germany's signing the
treaty are lacking in clarity: it 10
known that the council il acting on
the belief that there is no general
feeling on the part of the masses
against Germany's acceptance Of the
terms An air of optimism pervades
the council in this respect.
