 The communists demand that the workers own and manage the indust- ries without capitalists or bosses.
 The Nom Partisan League demands that the state take over and operate all big business for the benefit or farmers. &

 In America we think we are safe from radical outbreaks yet in this San Francisco thcater when the figures of the leaders of organized revolution in Russia were flashed upon the screen, there was spontaneous outburst of handclapping mixed with hisses of the audience. The volume of the hand clapping, however, outweighed the hisses. Is this not warning that America has within it's borders a dis satisfied element of society which it is necessary to educate away from ideas of radicalism as preached by the pres- ent Russian rulers. Let us not be too sure of our own security when such demonstration takes place in one of America's leading cities.

War Contracts
Criminal and Civil Actions
In volving Millions

Throughout the Country
No Leniency To Be Shown
Plain Fraud and Conspiracy
Proved in Many Cases,
u. S. Officials Declare

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 (By The AS
soc;ated Press).-Prosecution of 1924
contractors, marking the beginning of
move by the government to clean up
its war contract controversies, has been
ordered by the Department of Justice.
The proceedings will Include both Grim
inal and civil actions and will involve
millions of dollars, department officials
said to-day.
Nearly all of the cases embraced
by the prosecution order were turned
over by the War Department, but there
were indications that similar cases
would be received from other govern
ment departments. The Shipping Board
is understood to be planning to request
criminal prosecution in half a dozen
cases in addition TO those already in
the hands of the Attorney General.
The contracts on which action will
be pressed were said to involv.
amounts ranging from a few thous-
and to few million each" They
include agreements for the furnishing
of supplies of nearly every commodity
which the government purchased fol
of camps, cantonments and warehouses
and other facilities for the training
of the army.
| Preparatory to instituting legal pro.
ceedings in most cases, the government
has started re-checking sucn data anC
figures as it has. p.anning later t.
pursue the investigation into the rec
ords of the firms and individuals whose
contracts are questioned. This worl
will require several months and pos
sibility of an early settlement Of mos
of the suits appears remote.
Officials believe that, although the
War Department had failed to reach ar
agreement, many of the controversies
War Department abolished it's FRAUD
and graft investigating sections some
months ago and it's facilities for max
ing necessary inquiries in most of the
cases were limited.
With respect to score or more oil
| the contract settlements in dispute
there was the belief that "honest mis-.
! takes" had been made by the contrac.
tor, or subcontractor, and that an in
vcstigation of records would produce
grounds on which adjustments coulc
be easily made. 1t Vas said that ir
other cases, however, plain fraud anc
ly that no other course was open tt
the government Excepting direct actor
looking to the indictment of the Law
violators.
Robert r. Scott, assistant to the At
torney General, said it would be the
policy of the government not to dea
leniently with the fraud cases.
He explained, however, that contrac
tors against whom civil proceeding:
only would be instituted would BE-
given every opportunity to straighter
out controversies before the matter
was thrown into litigation. The con
tracts represent practically every sec
tion of the country, and court actor
will be sought in local jurisdiction.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Fin the ex

American and Polish governments,
made public tonight by the State De-

frankly serves notice on the world that
Poland cannot accede to the American
request to remain within the ethno-
graphic line laid down by the peace
conference if the Bolshevik forces re-

The reply of the Polish government
sets forth that Poland had to face the
danger of the Red army alone, with no
assistance except the "sympathetic atti-
tude of our allies" 1t further declares
that in spite of the diplomatic inter-
vention of the Allies the Soviet forces

point that Poland's defensive tactics
were directed solely against Bolshevism
and not against the Russian people.
The reply concludes by asserting that
the Polish military operations in the
struggle against the Soviet government
have "always bden guided by it's duty
to defend the independence and ter

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. Sept. g.
The vacation" declared by insurgent
mine workers in and out the ranks of
the United Mine Workers of America
almost tied up the anthracite industry
to-day. The strike has spread to all Sec
tons of the field and has gained force
hourly.
About $4,000 of the 175,O0O men in
the field quit work to-day, causing a
loss of 100000 tons in production and
S625,000 in wages for single day.
About 1875 collieries. many OF them the
largest in the industry, failed to turn
a wheel.
Some effort is being made to call out
pumrmen and engineers. This move
by the insurgents has taken union lead
ers and operators by surprise, and may
result in serious damage to property
MEANWHILE, the union leaders, con-
ferring at Scranton with operators
signed two-year contract, embodying
t he wage settlement approved by Presi-
dent Wilson. 1t is this award against
which the "vacationists" are protest
ing. The union leaders, in signing the
contract, declared that the award was
far from satisfactory. Members of the
miners scale committee will meet here
tomorrow and will ask that the wage
agreement he reopcned.
The possibility that the miners scale
committee hight take the wage ques-
ton up directly with President Wilson
in an effort to have the wage question
rcopened was indicated tonight. Un-
der the award of the anthracite COM
mission contract miners will receive
an increase in pay of II per cent; men
employed by the day, known as com
pany men, 20 per cent, and certain
other unskilled labor, 25A per cent.
The miners want an additional 1E
per cent for contract miners and an
advance of So day for the company
men.
No Pickets Established
! The operators were hard hit by the
walk out, but most of the Independent
concerns were going under full steam
with their working forces decreased
from 25 to SO per cent. Fear Of run
ming afoul of the state and Fedora
laws prompted the insurgents to in
augurate their strike with utmost care
No disorders of any sort were reported
and no attempt was made to establish
pickets or to endesvor to turn back
from work those wins wished to stanc

leaders.
