Atlantic City. n. J., April 29.-Pre-
pared to attack profiteering as one
of the causes of decreased production,
Vice President Matthew Vol of the
American Federation of Labor, ar
rived here today to address the annual
convention of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States. Organ
lied labor wants production increased
to reduce prices and help all of the
people, not to bring swollen profits to
a few" said Vol.
VOL said strikes do not reduce pro-
duction.
Temporarily, perhaps they do" he
said. But in the long run, strikes
increase production because they re-
suit in large benefits to the workers.
Organized labor is against strikes ex-
cept in extreme cases
THE nations business men are TAX
ing the wrong steps to increase pro-
duction. Compulsory arbitration courts,
like that in kansas, do not constitute
a real remedy for the present strained

The left wing of the Polish army

Official advices to the war office

BerdicheV, tWenty-four miles south of

Polish cavalry has penetrated an av-

front, the war office said. In some
places the penetration has been more
than fifty miles. Polish forces also

More than 100000 troops were par
ticipating in the offensive, which was
progressing successfully with slight
resistance from the soviet forces.
General Halter was said to have
500, 900 troops and General Pilsudski
100000. 1t was considered improba-
BILE here that the Russians would at
tempt extensive resistance since they
were outnumbered and the Poles were
much better equipped. Morale of the
Russians was reported low while the
Polish troops were said to be in excel

Officials here pointed out that the
Polish offensive came as a complete
surprise to the allies. 1t was under

The war office was without infor-

seize territory inside the old Polish
imperial boundaries of 1772-
Warsaw dispatches said the Poles
had promised autonomy to the Uk-

One official here characterized the
Polish action as ''veiled imperialistic

In some quarters, it was believed,
the allies might attempt to call the
Poles back, since some time ago they
virtually advised Poland to make
peace with the Russians.

rails, investments and low priced tele-

utilities, especially local gas shares. also
strengthened with coppers. Another re-
versal succeeded the opening rate of s

loans to essential purposes.
Selling assumed wider dimensions duriu Q

BUY NEW LOTS FOR SCHOOL.
Fourth Junior High May Be Erected
ON Underwood Avenue

( A fourth junior high school for To-
peka may be the outcome of The pur-
chase of sixteen lots on Underwood
avenue between Seventh streets and
Eighth avenue. The announcement
of the purchase of the lots was made
today by the board of education.
If the new junior high school is
erected on the Underwood avenue
lots, it will be known as the Linden
wood Junior high school, Supt. A. J.
Stout said. 1t is not certain that the
new building will be located there,
however; another possible location is
on the lots purchased on Boswell
avenue near Washburn college.
Congestion in the Central Park and
Polk school districts has made it
necessary to plan for the new junior
high school. 1t is not probable that
construction will be attempted in 1920,
according to M. C. Holman, clerk of
the board of education. The rebuild
ing of Buchanan school now in pro :
reSs, involves considerable expense,
and a levy for the new Junior high
school will not be made before August,
Holman said, with tentative plans for
erection in 1921.
