Complains of Propaganda
Former Stage Director Says
1t Is Responsible for
Antagonism to Poland

Americans, according to Richard Or

proud Of Poland and the recent Polish
victories.
saturday, August A." the former
stage director Of the Metropolitan
Opera House explained, "was the dark
est day the new Polish Republic has
ever seen.
II was in Warsaw that day, and
everything, they said there, was over.
There was very little optimism any
where, but what little there was in every
case came from Americans. The work
of such organizations as the Red Cross
League, the American REQ Gross and
your Y. M. c. A. were Headquarters for
hope and optimism. When went to

the same thing; Americans working
with light heart for Poland. I saw
your doctors fighting typhus and trying
to institute sanitary conditions, and
also saw your aviators at work in our
cause. The gratitude of the Polish
people to-day and their feeling for the
Americans is quite inexpressible.

British Trade
Unionists Open
1920 Conclave
President Thomas Declares
i'm Annual Address That
Labor Expects to Gain
Control of Government

Copyright, 1920, New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, Sept. 6.-Nearly thou
sand delegates representing 100000
British workers met to-day at Ports
mouth in the annual convention of the
Trade Union Congress. The opening
feature was the presidential speech of
J. H. Thomas.
The head of the British railway men
declared for peace with both Russia
and Ireland, saying that though labor
"does not subscribe to Soviet meth
ods," it was the duty Of the govern
ment to give the world its terms of
peace with Russia.
"The Council Of Action is deter
mined to- see the complete indepen-
dence of Poland and peace with Russia,
and having done that it will be con-
tent with the result Of it's labors," he
said.
Dark Picture Of Erin
Thomas drew a dark picture Of Ire
land, declaring there was no hope of
settlement unless the government
dropped its present bill, which mot
only outrages the feelings of Irishmen
of all sections Of political thought, but
also aagrantly wastes parliamentary
time"
"Let them realize" he asserted, "that
militarism in Ireland affects all Sec
tions economically. Let them realize
that militarism in Ireland has failed
You cannot dragoon nation by the
sword"
Mr.. Thomas urged the release of
Lord Mayor MacSWinev and declared
for "bold, clear recognition of domin-
ion home rule"
In the opinion Of Thomas trade
to have hard winter industrially.
Next to Germany, Great Britain now
has the greatest number of organized
workers in the world, far exceeding
the number in America.
Aim to Rule Government
They WELD tremendous influence,
not only economically, but politically
he said, and it is the aim of the lead
ers to control the government in the
next election.
For the very reason that labor ex-
poets to have responsibility for the
government, the majority of the lead
ers are trying to avoid any move which
might be considered unconstitutional.
One important subject with which
the congress is dealing is the forma-
ton of a general council, correspond
ing to the general headquarters staff
Of an army.
Fraternal delegates from America,
Canada and France are attending the
conference, as is also Albert Thomas.

Mystery i'm Shooting

William Daily, of 1924 First Avenue,
was brought by two companions to
Lebanon Hospital, the Bronx, early yes
terday morning suffering from three
bullet wounds in the right arm and
shoulder. Neither DAILY nor the two
men, who gave their names as Frank
Lippy, Of 11Oe Southern Boulevard, the
Bronx, and Edward Simpson, of I'll
Audubon Avenue, would furnish any
details of the shooting. Lippy and
Simpson were taken to the Webster
Avenue station for questioning. De-
tectives were sent out to search for
the taxicab in which DAILY was carried
to the hospital.
Patrolman Rause, of the Webster
Avenue station, reported that at 2:20
a. m. he heard three shots, presumably
coming from the Zoo Casino, restau-
rant and dance hall at 6S1 Fordham
Road, but could obtain no information
from the patrons Of the place. DAILY
arrived at the hospital at 3:15. He was
araigned in the West Farms court later
and held, with Lippy and Simpson, for
examination tomorrow.
New-York tribune., 1920-09-07

Over here my country Is not under
stood; in fact, Poland is the most mis-
represented country in the world TO-
day. The reason for this misrepresen-
tation is hreefold-Bolshevik propa
ganda, German propaganda and Jewish
propaganda. I have seen the first at
work in my own country, and it was
largely due to the wonderful system
which ehe Reds have for carrying on
their propaganda that Poland was
nearly Defeated
"There is very little Bolshevism in
Poland itself, less to-day than in
almost any other country in Europe.
If it had been there at all it would
have shown itself, for during August
there were many opportunities for 1t
to sweep the country.
Friday, the 18th, when almost
every one was down, the Bolshevik, if
he had been there, could have won the
country with a word. There were two
fires started in army stores by Boil
shevik sergeant in Warsaw that night,
but that was all. What few believers
in Bolshevism there were in Poland
put their own country above the Inter
rationale, and at Plotsk Communists Of
Poland fought in the streets against
those of Russia. There are about
seventy thousand Russians in Warsaw.
and almost to man, led by their own
newspaper, they were for the Polish
cause.
81 believe that Americans should
know conditions as they are in Poland
to-day. Poland, as every one knows,
has been nothing less than battle
field for more than six years now. 1t
is indeed war-wracked country.
There is great lack of every kind
Of commodity and very few facilities
of any kind. The finest crops which
Poland has seen in seven years have
been destroyed by the invading Reds.
Poles Want No Charity
"But Poland is country known for
its great recuperating powers. With
little outside assistance the country
will soon be on it's own again, and
Poland wants no charity in this mat
ter. The Poles are able and willing
to pay. But the Poles have come to
distrust every nation in Europe. There
is only one people to whom the Polish
people will S>k-the Americans"
When asked if the Poles were not
now on the aggressive, Mr.. Ordynski
replied: "The talk of Poland going
over her boundaries is simply another

Statement From Avezzana

Italian newspapers in New York
print communication from the Italian
Ambassador, Baron Avezzana, concern
ing the workmen's agitation in Italy
1t says:
"In consequence of shortage of raw
materials, lack of coal and high cost
of labor, the metallurgical Industries
decided to effect lockout. Following
this decision the workers seized the
factories at Milan, Turin and Genoa ia
prevent the lockout and to operate the
factories directly.
"Such move is new form of strug-
gle between capita. and labor, but pre-
serves the character of an economic
struggle, inasmuch as it is developing
without resort to violence and without
bloodshed.
THE situation is not alarming in
the least, inasmuch as the struggle is
involving only the metallurgical in.
duetry.

issued by the Socialist concentration
