 WASHINGTON, Feb 5.--The case of bituminous coal industry of the five states comprising the southwestern field was laid before the coal strike settlement commission today by repre- sentatives of the operators and Of the United Mine Workers districts involved. Spokesmen for all operators. H. N. Taylor president of the National Coal association, launched an attack on what he described '.the black rotten record" of union leadership in the southwestern states that precipitated 2 controversy between himself and John L. Lewis. acting president of the United Mine Workers of America
 Union heads have inflicted economic loss and poverty on the willing worker ir the mines by calling useless strikes" mostly of q wild cat variety MT. Taylor declared. There were 364 strikes in the Kansas district alone 1T 1918 which cost the miners in los' wages s1.e44.o .o90. he added. MT. Taylor said he believed the miners in the southwestern field did not need an in creased wage scale as much as "ar unmolested opportunity to work the lack of which could not in justice bs balanced against the present scale"
 Representatives of the mine workers uuion presented a number of demands designed primarily to place wages anc working conditions on a uniform ieve within the field. Chief among the de ma nds were that the cost of mov1ns loaded and empty cars to. and from the working base be assumed by tn, operators at all mines and that miner. be paid for time lost by the rising O water in the mines.

 The prohibition issue was brought into the proceedings by Governor Ed wards of New Jersey, and was greeted with obviously mingled feelings by the diners.
 Governor Edwards was not on the or ficial list of speakers and was called upon unexpectedly after secretary Daniels had concluded his address.

 Governor Edwards declared that a great issue had emerged from the past, "the issue of states riSnls anu personal liberty" He asserted that this issue must be decided by the peo- pie next November.

EUROPE AN PEACE HINGES ON VIEW
 OF POLES. BELIEF
Tseoublican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON. Feb. 5-The peace discus sion between the Poles and the pol shevik are being watched in dipiomatlc quarters with the deepest lntereSt' since the general feeling is that the peace of Europe depends upon whether the treaty is signed. In other words. Poland is regarded the Keystone of the present situation and 1t is felt that as long as hoStIlt1es continue between Poland and soviet Russia tranquility cannot be re- established in the rest of Europe.
 If Poland should accept the boi- sheyiki proposals diplomatic circles believe that she would be placed Tn the uncomfortable position Of being asked by the reds to agree to a piepis- : cite for the bolsheviki territory sne now occupies. While Poland has q large number of nationals in this ter ritory she admittedly is in the minor ity and the bolsheviki undoubtedly would make strong propaganda among the population.
 Since the recent visits of Stanislaus Patek Polish minister of foreign ar fairs. to France and England, for con ferences various reports have been pubIished regarding the allied attitude toward the situation with regard to Poland and the bolshevil<i. High placed diplomats say that these reports have been, in general, erroneous, ana that the word that the Polish minister really carried back to Warsaw substan l. tially was this:
 The allies do not propose to use Pc land as an arrowhead to pierce bol- shevik Russia The allies cannot place themselves in the position of advlsln2 Poland to attack the boisheVlkl, no can the allies promise assistance Ill such an event. Should the bolshevik make an unrpovolSed assault tha' would alter the situation. Poland attention has been called to the Iac' that the allies are establishing certain trade relations with Russia.
