MANY OUT Of WORK
las MATERIALS FAIL
Laborers Lose Building Jobs
Because Supplies Do
Not Arrive.

Many laborers, mechanics and
craftsmen employed on building
operations in Washington are with
out work on account of the shortage
Of building materials due to the
freight congestion. This situation
was disclosed today by an official of
the Building Trades Council.
The shortage of building materials
not only has thrown many men out
of work. but has caused the progress
on building construction work to be
retarded to some extent. Building
operations now, it was said. can be
continued only as shipments of ma
terials are received.
Shortage of Cement.
The inability of building contractors
to obtain cement is one of the primary
causes of the slackening of building
operations They also are confronte ed
with a shortage of virtually all the
essentials in construction work with
the exception of bricks. A norma
supply of bricks is being received, II
was pointed out. This. however. is
due to the nearness to Washington
of several large brick factories
Work on the installation of eleva-
tors in twelve new structures, the Of
fetal of the Building Trades Council
stated, has been suspended by an ele-
vator company on account of the
freight congestion. The installation
OF the elevators in these buildings, he
pointed out, cannot be continued I'M
til the requisite materials arrive.
Men Leave Washington.
This situation. it was pointed out by
the Building Trades Council official. is
unfortunate at this time, when there
is sufficient building construction
work in Washington to keep all build.
ing craftsmen employed Some OF
them who were forced out of work, i,
is said, have left the city for points in
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, where

GRA|NMEN DEMAND

Five hundred thousand box cars
are needed Immediately to move the
grain crop in the northwest, esti-
mated at 700.000.000 bushels. the In
terstate Commerce Commission was
told at a hearing today by o. P. B.

sioners ard shippers from Montana,
Minnesota. North Dakota and South
Dakota said indications were that
the 1920 crop would equal that of
1918 and that failure to move it to
market not only would ruin the
growers, but would seriously affect
the remainder Of the country. result
ing in a food shortage.
J. ]. Murphy, state railway commits
sioner for South Dakota, declared that
the railroads of the northwest had
only IS per cent of their box cars on
their lines and that 20 per cent of
those were unsuitable for grain
loading. One of the difficulties the
roads face in supplying cars, he said.
was that they did not receive a dol
lars worth of work for a dollar
worth of pay.
AS a remedy for the situation in
the northwest Mr.. Murphy suggested
that the commission order box cars
to be moved from territories which
have more than 100 per cent OF their
ownership and distribute the cars to
northwestern grain shippers.

Poland Faces Complete
Internal Collapse, Says
Warsaw Wire in Germany

COLOGNE, August s.-The situation
in Poland has developed into a mill
tary catastrophe and there Is a COM
plete internal collapse, says a dis
patch to the Cologne Gazette from
Warsaw.
The French military authorities, the
dispatch continues, are reported to
have hastily approached the German
consulate for passports for all mem
bers of the French mission. The Ger
man clerical forces were unable to is
sue the passports speedily enough. so
three French majors joined the staff
to expedite the work.
PoIands one military hope-Haller's
volunteer army-is proving disap-
pointment, notwithstanding the fact
that it made heroic efforts to stem the
onrush on the northern front. during
the course of which it sustained heavy
losses.
1t is added by the correspondent that
there is serious friction between the
French Gen. Weygand's staff and the
Polish military leaders. which has re-
suited in hopeless confusion in the
carrying out of orders in the fighting
zone.

Situation Desperate, U. S.
Commander in Germany
SAYS of Battle in Poland

COBLENZ, August 8. - Polands
military situation is now critical, in
the view of Maj. Gen. Henry T. Allen,
commander-in-chief of the American
army of occupation, who is kept
closely informed sof Developments,
Resources and achievements within
Poland for much further resistance
do not appear to Gen. Allen to be
available, and he believes that a con-
tinuation of the Polish struggle rests
with the allies.
The American general has received
no indication that the United States
is taking active steps to cooperate
with the allies; he has received no
special instructions from Washington
covering his attitude and policy.
Gen. Allen has expressed conviction,
from his knowledge of the country,
that Germany is determined to stand
on her neutrality and oppose giving
the allies transit through German
territory. He also feels certain that
Germany will not allow the bolsheviki
beyond her eastern border.
Estimates made here of the COM
blatant forces on the Russo-Polish
front indicate they are relatively
small, the bolsheviki being said to
number 100000 and the Poles 100000.

this constituted warning to Germany
that If an attempt is made in any way
to cooperate with the bolSheviki an

that he will agree to il.
a laSt-minute decision to include
Arthur j. Balfour in today's meeting

In the event of a final break in the
