British Labor Men
Go Back TO London
Delegates Forced TO Leaue
Paris Declare Task
Has Been accomplished

PARIS, Aug. 17.-Wiliam Adamson,
Labor member of the British Parlia-
ment, and Harry Costing, leader of the
English transport workers. representing
the Council of Action of the British
Labor party departed for London to-
night after conferences with the Gen
eral Labor Federation of France and
executives of the Unified Socialist party.
They came to Paris to ask the French
labor unions to form a Council of Ac-
ton similar to that in England, vested
with authority to call a general strike
in the event of their nation going to
war with Russia. Soon after their ar
rival they were requested by the govern
ment to leave. Failure to comply with
the request, it was announced, would
call for their expulsion.
Before their departure the labor men
declared they had accomplished the task
for which they came to Paris, and that
they were satisfied with the agreement
reached.
A meeting of the Unified Socialist
party tonight decided to request the
President of the Chamber to call an
extraordinary session of that body "n
view of the gravity of the general sit
uation."

FROM inc Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. ia program
OF assistance to Poland against the
bolshevlk menace is being worked out
by the Allied governments and the
United States will cooperate fully in
any plan that is formulated it was
SAID in a high quarter here to-day.
Conversations between the Allied
governments and American representa-
tlves in foreign capitals are now in
progress and Washington is being kept
informed on the progress made toward
a. policy toward Poland which will find
the anti-Bolshevik governments in
accord
This development to-day in the
Russo Polish situation was believed to
explain why the governments of Great
Britain, Italy and Japan have thus far
1alled to respond to the American note
expressing this governments position
in the Polish crisis The answer of
the French government is the only one
thus far received by the State Depart
ment
The Polish situation and politics
were the principal subjects discussed
at to-day's Cabinet meeting, it is
understood. The President was in
formed by Secretary of State Colby of
the status Of the deliberations now in
progress among the Allied govern
ments on Polish relief and of the steps
that can be taken by the United States
IN cooperation with the French, Brit
lsh, Italian and Japanese.
AS soon as some definite program
has been evolved it is believed that the
President will issue statement sup
elemental to the American Russo
Polish note addressed to Italy last
week. setting forth in detail just how
all available means" promised by this
government can be extended to Poland
The sending of American warships
to the Baltic doomed up to-day IS of
genuine importance. Secretary Of the
Navy Daniels, who yesterday dis
patched orders to Vice-Admiral Harry
Mel. P. Huse to take complete com
mand of the proposed Baltic fleet, said
to-day that the number Of vessels to
be transferred from French waters to
Danzig was to be determined by Vice
Admiral Huse.
"Vice-Admiral Huse has complete
authority to take what vessels in the
European fleet he deems necessary"
Secretary Daniels explained. "Condi-
tions in the Baltic are chaotic and
perhaps several United States ships
will be. utilized"
The possibility that the American
warships may be used with the vessels
of other governments in any blockade
that may be decided upon by the
Allied and United States governments
was officially admitted. 1t was pointed
out that the United States had at one
time authorized military blockade
against Mexico without an actual state
of war existing between the two gov
ernments and officials interpreted the
authority OF the President, as Com
mander in Chief of the Army and Navy,
to include the right to establish
similar blockade against Soviet Russia
without direct authorization from Con-
gress. Such a blockade, it was ex-
planned, would be peaceful" block

WASHINGTON, Aug. IT, - Active
steps to limit the prices charged con-
sumers for coal in various parts of the
country will be begun soon by the De-
partment OF Justice. it was said to-
night by officials of the department.
Reports of the Fedora, Trade Com
mission covering costs of production
and distribution or coal were being
studied by experts, it was said. and
data were being compiled upon which
10 base instructions to district attor-
neys governing the prosecution of coal
pro1iteering cases.
No attempt will be made to fix a
price on coal, it was said, as the Attor
ney General can act only under the
Lever act, but it was suggested that by
prosecution for violations of the law
the price of coal can be kept within
reasonable bounds.
Appointment of commission to
study the coal situation might be made
by the Attorney General, officials said,
if it was found that the reports of the
Federal Trade Commission did not fur

PARIS, Aug. 17.-That Warsaw
is no longer in imminent danger of
capture by the Reds is the belief
current in official circles tonight. as
the result of news received from
Poland.
1t is even thought that Warsaw is
now definitely saved. The Poles have
gained victories at three storm CEN
tiers Of the front. They have COM
pletely restored the defenses OF the
city and forced the Russians to re-
treat both in the north and the
south.
Heavy Reverse in South
The Bolsheviki, particularly in the
south, have suffered heavy reverse
and are now in full retreat.
The restoration of the Warsaw
defenses in the center results from a.
series OF engagements begun on Sun
day and Monday, which have now
turned completely to the advantage
of the Poles. All inroads made bv
the Reds on the first line defenses of
the city have now been made good
again.
Counter attacks by the Poles in the
north against Bolsheviki invading the
Danzig corridor also have driven back
the enemy forces. These counter at
lacks by the Poles were launched from
the direction of Thorn toward Grau.

There is considerable speculation "a
to what effect this news will have on
the armlstice negotiations at Minsk.
Although the Bolsheviki may show
themselves to be in a less effective
position, there is a possibility that the
roles, elated by victory and hoping for
continued French and probably Amer
lcan support, may prefer to continue
we struggle.
Rumors were current here TONIGHT
that America has definitely signified to
france her assent to the raising Of a
volunteer army and supply of money
for the help of Poland. England has
the support Of Italy in her desire to
move toward recognition Of the Soviets.

ANDREW Bonar Law said yesterday
that England was happy IN having

account of its efficacy, we still think
that perhaps it does not compensate for

The gulf between the policies of Eng

those of America and France on the
other, seems likely to be still further
