GERMAN LABOR
TO HARASS ANY
ALLIED INVASION

BERLIN. August S.-WhiIe the Ger
man government processes not to be
alarmed over the possibility that the
entente may yet decide to violate
Germany's neutrality by forcing the
transit of troops across her territory
to Poland. German organized labor
is less optimistic. For the first time
in their history the four Organizations
whlch represent the proletariet have
united in common proclamation to
workers. calling upon them to refuse
to facilitate the transportation of men,
arms and supplies intended for the
Pohsh military relief.
These organizations are the gen.
eral federation of labor unions, the
majority socialist. the independent
socialist and the communists, the lat
ter being commonly known as the
Spartacist League. The call sets
forth recurring rumors indicating the
entente is amassng troops along the
Rhine. and says: IF they succeed in
conveying them to the Russo-Polish
theater of war Germany will even
tually become a battle-ground
The call reminds British and French
workers of their international duty"

BY following the procedure OF
Saturday in deciding the case OF
Robert Honeyman, White House
blacksmith. against Fred Harris, who

Mr.. Baker also laid before the COM
mission the objection to inclusion of SO
much of district No. Z, class A, which
allows the erection only of detached or
ser1i-detached houses. He said that
twenty or twenty-five foot lots on which
they hoped to build. but to compel them
to erect only detached or semi detached
houses or to sell out would amount to
confiscation.
Commissioner Brownlow pointed out
that the commission could not we'll make
the kind of house contingent on the size

merely by subdividing their land into

ation,'' said Mr.. Baker in reply. but
we simply want to call the commissions
