assumed by Great Britain. Italy and
the other nations. Poland has already
been Informed of this change, but is
warned that her armies must not pro-
coed far enough into Russian territory
to arouse suspicion as to the good faith
of her purposes.

ment that this liberty of action to Po-
land will be more effective in bring

gestiOn yet made.

France virtually accede to the urgent
request of Poland that provisional

upon by all nations, including Russia,
at a council of ambassadors.

yells Of the mob, shrieks of women and
children and groans Of the injured
were audible throughout the fighting

night attire, rushing from their homes,
attempting to lead their families from
the danger zone.
The excitement was intense until 10
O'Clock Sunday morning. Isolated
firing was to be heard throughout Sun
day forenoon, and the people were ap-
prehenslve lest there should be re-
newal Of the disorders ut nightfall.
In broad daylight Sunday Sim Fem

arms and ammunition. A well-known
republican called mt the barracks and
engaged the garrison sergeant and
three constables in conversation, when

police were too surprised to offer re-
sistance.

vorable action on the amendment had

to some suffrage workers, who had

PRESIDENT AFf|RMS
COAL WAGE RAISE
AWARD OF EIcHTY-Five MILLION
DOLLARS ANNUAL INCREASE
OFFICIALLY APPROVED.
Award While Providing Improved Con.
ditions for Workers, Offers No
qualification for Advance In
Retail Prices, 10 Claimed.

Washington Wilson on
August 30 approved the majority re-
port Of the anthracite coal commission
increasing the wages of contract min
ers 20 per cent over present rates.
Miners employed as company men
are given an increase OF II per cent
and the same amount is given con
sideratiOn miners" and and miners la
bOrers and monthly men.
The findings, the report said. would
fix minimum rate of 52k cents per
hour for the lower paid men In the
anthracite Industry.
The president struck out OF the re-
port provision fixing the terms Of
retroactive payments under the award,
which. he said. was outside the COM
missions Jurisdiction. Thomas Ken
nedy, chairman of the miners scale
committee, had protested this feature
Of the award, he said.
Anthracite mine workers will re.
ceive about $18,OOO.OOO In back pay
under the retroactive feature. and the
total increase awarded to the 175,OOO
miners will average, the commission
said. at least $85, OOO. 900 annually.
The majority report declared that
the award offers no justification for
any advance In the retail price of
coal, but on the other hand, Is con-
sistent with decline in prices. The
minority report was signed by Com
missioner Ferry.
The decision refused the United
Mine Workers demand for closed
shop and the installation of "check-
off system"
Interest Of the general public in the
award centered largely In the effect
on the price Of hard coal. The COM
mission said that while making SUBJ
stantial Improvement in the situation
Of the miners, 1t had declined to com.
init itself to q decision that might just
~ be considered an encouragement to
the so-called "vicious upward spiral"
Of prices.
The result, the commission said, was
that the awards, while providing I'M
proved conditions for the workers,
could offer no justification for any ad-
vances In the retail prices Of coal.

OFFICIALS LAX, DRYs CLAIM.
Anti-Saloon League Not Satisfied With
Prohibition Enforcement.

Washington.-United States judges
and district attorneys. corrupted fed
eral agents and the political campaign
are charged by Wayne b. Wheeler,
general counsel for the Anti-Saloon
league, with responsibility for unsat-
isfactory enforcement of the prohibit
ton law In several states.
In statement issued August 20,
Mr.. Wheeler alleges that district
judges have aided the bootleggers by
giving small fines and showing antag-
onism to the law, that district attor-
neys have precluded enforcement by
demanding too much evidence and that
state and federal officers alike are
making the prohibition law political
football"
While pointing out the laxity Of the
laws enforcement, the Anti-Saloon
league official says that all will come
out right in the end and that pres
ent conditions need not alarm friends
