Poles in possession of the key to the
Warsaw d~efcnses, the fork between the
Narew and Bug rivers, while the forces
advancing toward MlaWa, which have

beat a hasty retreat, and consequently
reopen the directrsailroad line to Danzig.
But the manOeuvre on the right wing
along the line Of Garvolin an Paratchoff,
between the Yistula and the Bug, is the
more interesting Of the two from the
strategic viewpoint. because it threatens
the communications of the main BGIshe

Many were the difficulties
of the year. Markets bare
Of, merchandise, manufac-
turers unable to fulfill their

INDUSTRIAL PEACE BY
FORCE OR NOT At ALL
SAYS new YORK WORLD


NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-'If indus
trial peace is not possible through
compulsory. arbitration, nowhere
can we have assured industrial
peace" means the New York
World, i'm urging the adoption Of
the Cummins anti-st1tke railroad
bill.
The other side of this dolefll
picture is the harmony between the
New York World Arrangement and
its employees in mechanical depart
ments who are. 100 per cent organ
lied and who maintain contractural
relations with this newspaper. Be-
cause both parties: submit differ
cnces to arbitration strike on the
World is unknown.
The editor ignores this situation.
And he ignores past experiences
that force is futile and peace is not
possible through jails, fines and in
junction Judges.
The World editor makes this
statement, which will be of interest
to organized workers other than
railroad employees:
TIT is only to be observed at this
time that If compulsory arbitration
is ever to be applied, it must begin
right here with the railroads."

Kansas Senator: Holds They Are
Worse Menace to Country
Than loudest BoIshevists.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The pa
triotism Of gougers and profiteers
was riculed in the senate by Mr.. Cap
per, Of Kansas, who declared that
while the people made sacrifices, and
fought during the war. and are still
fighting and sacrificing, "these in
dustries have paid no part in the cost
Of the national defense, nor have they
contributed anything to help the coun-
try except at war prices and for ire
mendous profits. And now they are
collecting their war taxes from the
people and exacting excessive toll be-
sides soaking them for all they can
get for their products"
The Kansas senator declared he will
"go the limit in supporting every
measure which will stamp out boil
shevism and anarchy" but the prof
iteers of big business are as great,
or a greater menace to the country
than the bolsheviks, the I. w. WIS
and the radicals who are preaching
the overthrow Of government"
UNLESS we speedily check price
gouging," he continued; 1.-The high
cost of profits is soon to be translated
in to the excessive cost Of existence.
We are; beginning to-. hear about SIS
shoes, $50. hand-me-downs, and: SIS
hats, for :next spring. Notwithstanding

steel mills. the saw mills, the packing
houses, the tanneries, the coal mines,
and who knows what else, and yet
do nos own them and are at their
mercy.
1.-THE war is over, but speculation,
spoilation, and plumber: are as ram
pant as ever, and more daring.

poor trade by comparison"

Steel STRIKERS
FULL OF FIGHT
Determined to Stick to End and
Stop Autocracy In Iron and
Steel Industry.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Steel
strikers are full Of fight and as de-
termined as ever to end autocracy in
this industry. was the report made at
. joint meeting in this city Of the ma
tional steel strike committee and ex-
ecutives and representatives of the
two-score international unions in
volved. The conference pledged it's
faith in Chairman Fitzpatrick and as
sociate members of the strike COM
mittee.
It was stated that 100000 are on
strike and production in many in
stances has dropped to 20 and 80 per
cent, while other mills are completely
tied up. In some districts. mills are
operating and steel of a certain grade
is being produced. but there is more
smoke than steel.
The steel trusts autocracy has de-
moralized this industry and it is stated
that even If the strike was declared
off now no one could give fair esti-
mate Of the time necessary to place
the industry on a normal basis. One
youngstown, Ohio, clergyman was
quoted that 5000 Roumanians in that
city have returned to Europe and the
same condition prevails elsewhere.
With the opening Of spring this move
nent will increase as strikers will get
:: of the strike rolls to accept other
emplo ymel1ts< that will, present them
selves. 49, .N.
The strike committee REPORTED that
the commissary system is now per-
fected and with financial aid being
given the strike by organized workers
throughout the country it will be i'm
possible to starve the strikers
