DANIELS DEFENDS
HIS AWARDS OF
Navy MEDALS
(special United Press Wire. }

Especial United Press Wire.)
Washington, Feb. 3.-Admiral
Sims charge that the morale of the
navy was shattered by the alleged
injustice of medal awards" is an in
suit to the splendid men of the navy
Secretary Daniels declared today in
testifying before the senate naval
committee in it's investigation OF
medal awards. He said it was an in
suit to the men of the navy to say
their morale was seriously impaired
by any awards to individuals.
"They are made of sterner stuff
than to be ratified by a matter SO un-
important in comparison with their
devotion to duty" he said.
Daniels read lengthy prepared
statement taking issue with Sims
on the medal awards and defending
his course in changing the recon-
mendations of the Knight board. He
cited precedents in support OF his
contention that it is justifiable tc
give medals to commanders who lost
their ships in action. Some of the
brainiest men in the navy would
have gone unrewarded if he had no
changed the medal recommendations
he asserted.

FRENCH TEXTILE PLANTS
RECOVER FROM WAR RUIN
(By the Federated Press

Paris, Feb. 3.-ln spite OF the fear
that the textile industry Of northern
France had been hOpelessly ruined
by the war, recovery is proceeding
rapidly, according to the reports OF
government officials. AS many as
10000 workers are now busy in the
textile mills.
1t is estimated that within a year
production will reach half the pre-
war total, and that within two years
restoration viii be complete. The
wooden industry is recovering most
rapidly and the cotton next. Linen
is slowest because of the flax short
age caused by the cutting off of the
Russian supply.
The installation of new machinery
and the coal problem are hardly so
serious as the great shortage OF
skilled workers, thousands of whom
were killed in the war. Women are
taking the place Of the men to a great
extent. Housing is so inadequate
that this constitutes another serious
difficulty.

(Special United Press Wire. J

Especial United Press Wire.)
Washington, Feb. 3.---The
peace proposal Soviet Russia
recently submitted to Poland
has been withdrawn, according
to state department advices.
1T is believed that this action
indicates the Bolshevilli intend
to launch an offensive against Po-
land.
The expected offensive by the Boil
sheviki against the Poles, it is be-
lieved, is to drive the Poles back
from the Soviet territory of Russia
which the Polish armies occupied a
month ago. News dispatches at that
time stated the Poles had advanced
about so miles beyond the borders of
Poland as set by the peace confer
ence.
1t is believed the Bolsheviki Of
fensive will be directed merely to
clearing Soviet Russian territory OF
the invading Poles and that the Of
fensive will halt when the Polish
border is reached. Official state
ments by the Soviet government have
stated that Soviet Russia has no de-
sire nor intention to invade Poland.

Arbitrary Action Of Employ
ers' Manager Puts En-
barge on Sales of All
Supplies.

John II. Mcintosh, state manager
of the Associated Industries, is now
in control of all supplies of build
ing material in Silver Bow county.
Mcintosh, who is said to be showing
this morning that all requests for
building material must pass through
his hands and that none would be
sold without his permission.
This is one method adopted by
the Associated Industries to force
the building tradesmen to accept their
terms. Anyone desiring to build
must interview the business agent
of the employers. A permit will be
issued if it is approved by the agent
and he will be allowed to buy ma
terial at one of the associations sup
ply houses and pay the associations
price.
The Associated Industries claim to
have all material tied up and say
that no building will be allowed to
proceed unless at their terms.
Wherever the notice of the con-
tractors association was posted this
morning, the building tradesmen
ceased work. This includes practi-
cally all of the building trades crafts
men and most of the jobs now in
progress.
The electricians, painters and
plumbers, it is stated, will work di-
rectly for individual property own
ers as result of the action of the
Associated Industries. These unions
state that they have access to the
necessary material and will be able
to supply their customers despite
the boycott of the employers.
