THE RUSSIAN POLICY

HE POLICY of the Allies toward Russia IS about that 1 which has been foreshadowed for many months, III the speeches of Lloyd George the more authentic news from foreign and in much other evidence that IS familiar 10 readers of The Times.
 Within the confines of the vast Russian territories the Soviet been gaining victory a ter victory They virtually crushed all internal forces opposition to the and in control of large and we'll disciplined armies which fight with patriotic ervof
 American troops being withdrawn, are British there reinforcing doubtless, still for the that with Russia is impractcabe and undesirable
 Lloyd George said upon several occasions that the military reduction of government would require blood than Great Britain is willing to give His position may apply equal the position of the United States.
 There is undoubtedly world wide feeling among the AL overhrown the established property system regarded threat against the property system of the rest of the world.
 of the would be beyond computation and costs find that the property the struggle too vast to think of
 likely that the burden imposed by against the Sovies disastrous result upon the property system the Aes than the example of Soviet in successful action is likely to have.
 The Allies then withdrawing their troops They have decided to modify their blockade for the purpose of trading machinery medicines clothing and other things, for grain and flax.
 This is probably sound policy. Russian stuffs needed for the support of Europe And Russia whose pie happy well clothed busy well fed will be unsatisfactory neghbor Russia seethng anarchy and misery

 IN POWER
 AT PRISON
(Continued from Page One.)

(Continued from Page One.) against the release of 113 conscien- tious objectors.
 As evidence that Judge Pollock be- Heved the barracks investigation should be far reaching, court officials today pointed to his instructions to the jury in the trial at which evidence was brought out Judge Pollock said:
 That portion of the case which to the mind of the court is one of the most unusual and singular things that has ever been heard in the his tory of this government, one of the most unusual situations ever present. ed in a court of justice, is this. They had a strike in the military prison; the convicts refused to work; with the approval of the government this in- stitution was turned over to be run by a committee elected by the pris- oners. Those there for punishment operated the prison. As a result of this situation thefe grew up what any reasoning man should have known would result. a rule of anarchy, cor ruption, and slugging-in short, a mob rule.
 ''If this condition did exist it ought never to be possible for it to exist again. Somebody in this govern ment is responsible and they should answer, if the judgment of this court is worth anything.'
 Ordering of the investigation put the case on trial into the background. The eleven defendants were charged with being involved in a widespread plot to print and circulate from the barracks fraudulent government treasury certificates. Nine of the de- fendants were discharged by the jury on the ground that they had not been connected with the manufacture of the certificates. No verdict had been returned early today in the cases of Louis M. Osterweiss of New Haven, Conn.,, known as ''the million aire kid" and John Conway of Hat tiesburg, Miss, members of the ESQ., viet" committee and charged with being the ringleaders of the certiicate plot.

ASK MACHINISTS
 TO JOIN WITH METAL WORKERS
Biedenkapp Outlines Be- lief of His Or
 ganization.

F. G. Biedenkapp, general secre- tary and treasurer of the Brother hood of Metal Workers, addressed the members of Machinists local, No. 30, last night in an endeavor to have the local affiliate itself with the Brother hood.
 Secretary Biedenkapp spoke for over an hour and for the following hour was kept busy answering ques- tions of the members as to the prin- ciples and standing of the Brother hood. No action was taken by the local.
 In an interview today MT. Bieden- kapp told @ representative of the Times that his organization was not a dual organization nor was it affi1iat- ed with the I. w. w., although he wished it to be understood that his organization was not antagonistic to the I. w. w.
 We believe" said he, that the de- VeIopment and improvements in the methods of manufacturing and the analgamation and merging of the manufacturers into combinations has forced labor to organize accordingly.
 we claim that the minimum rate of pay for which a man can work de- bends on his needs of life.
 "No matter how menial the work of any man may be he is entitled to have his needs of life satisfied, and this is the basis of the minimum wage. Americanism does not mean attachment to the soil of this country nor is it the achievements of the country. It is the human beings o1 America. What they do. How they live. That is Americanism."
