SuESIA HAS
COURT STRIKE
dges and Other Officials
Quit Their Jobs in Body
B, as Protests.

Ii Oppeltn. Upper Silesia; June 14.LA
OIL difficult problem which
confronts tho International plebisctte
commission is the strike Of unper
silesians 4sdges And court officials who
resent VIA II they term the commits
sion's unAnthorized interference with
the German judiciary. All the courts
OF Upper Silesia are off1cered by Ger
MANS
The strike grew out of the commits
sion's decree granting amnesty to po-
sHttcal prisoners. Sitting en- banc, five
Upper Silesian judges declared the
decree unconstitutional. Judge Held
ordered to leave the district the day
after the decision was handed down.
Another judge, accused by the COM
mission OF negligence in the prosecu-
ton of German policeman who
killed a Polish workman and Of re-
fusing to supply the commission with
information regarding the case, also
was deported.
Having gone on strike in protest,
commission demanding satisfaction
Tor the treatment Of the deported
judges and declaring that the judic-
larry would not tolerate further inter-
ference from the commission. The
Italian members of the commission
are trying to adjust the trouble.
According to the treaty Of Yer
sailles the commission is given all the
powers that were exercised in Upper
Sflesia by the German or Prussian
governments with the exception of
those powers having to do with the
making Of laws and levying of taxes.
The striking judges assert that the
commission is attempting to make
laws. One Of them, DR.. Hertel Of
oppeln, told the correspondent that
the judges did not oppose the com
missions amnesty decree provided 1t
was applied only to cases already dis
posed of or those awaiting trial.
But we refused" he said, Ito brook
interference in those cases that were
before the courts. Such trials must
proceed. Not even the kaiser himself
would have attempted to stop them. -
The German government, the CORE
spondent understands, has informed
the commission that it approves Of
the amnesty decree. Throughout Ger
many the newspapers are excitedly
discussfnE the situation. E-

! BOY SCOUT CUP
Senior Patrol Leader Gets Prize for
Making Camp = Success This
Summer.

The silver loving cup donated by
ICY" Mosenfelder on the occasion
of the Rotarians' visit to Scout
Haven, to be given to the best
camper during the last two weeks
period was won by Senior Patrol
Leader Arthur McDougall Of Troop
No. 6. A prize like this is given an
nually to the scout who in the esti-
nation OF his fellow campers does
most to make the camp a success.
A vote Is taken at the last camp
fire and every camper then picks
his winning scout. Scout McDou-
gall received every vote with the ex-
ception of three and the campers
voted to make the choice unani-
nous. This makes two years in
succession in which McDougan has
captured a prize Of this sort. Eu-
gene Stone of Troop No. 1. B, won
a cup at the first camp last season.
Now that the summer season of
camping is over all scoutmasters in
the city are getting their troops
lined up for fall activities. A drive
will be started next week to line
up live troop committees for every
troop in the city in order that every
scoutmastenmay have enough help
in looking after his Scouts. These
troop committees are to be given
specified tasks to look after and in
this manner it is hoped that real
interested men may be lined up
with each troop.
The first international conference
of scout executives will be held at
Bear Mountain camp, 40 miles north
Of New York, Sept. 1922. Every
executive in the country is expected
to attend and the executives of the
