RUSSIANS SIFT
TRAITOR
Defeat at Hands of Poles
May Have Been Work of
Certain Generals.
BY CARL W. ACKERMAN.
CwaShington HeraId-PubIic Ledger
service-Special Cable Dispntch.)

London. Aug. 31.-An official re-
port received here yesterday is that
Russian generals in the recent drive
against Poland. failed to keep Mos
COW fully advised Of developments.
Moscow is now making an investi-
cation to determine if there was a
plot.
Reliable Information reached Lon
don tonight that the BoIshevist
armies are being reformed behind
the Polish Russian front. and that
the Soviet government does not by
any means consider the Polish war
ended
The military situation from a
Polish standpoint is such that Po-
land is again in somewhat the same
position she was last winter. when
peace with the BOlshevists was first
suggested.
The Poles know that the Russia n
armies are being reorganized and it
is a great temptation not to strike
against the Russians. before they
complete their new formations. It
is admitted in informed circles that
II will be a difficult ma alter to pre-
vent the Polish army from overstep-
ping their borders.

LABOR PACIFIC.
SAYS GOMPERS
Workers Desire No Strikes
That Can Be Avoided,
He Declares.
By Universal service.)

Samuel Gompers, President of the
American Federation of Labor, in
an article that will appear in the
September "Federationist," asserts
that labor does not desire strikes
where they can possibly be avoided.
He further declares that the years
production per man for 1920 in the
United States will be greater than
in any other country.
The statements were made in re.
ply to query put to him recently
by Ntw York weekly publication
in regard to the best mtheod of pre-.
venting strikes.
The industrial problem" he says,
lis not a problem that can be set
tied by any patent process. Adjust
ment on a temporary basis is the
best than can be had, and the best
that any men or women who love
progress should want.
The labor movement does not de-
sire strikes. 1t offers the machinery
to avert strikes. 1t will do any
! thing to gain peace except sacrifice
progress.
The United States Department of
Labor gives US the cash cost of
strikes for the year ending June 80.
The figure is large, 1915, 100000. But
it cannot be accepted at its face
value.
Actual money to that value was
! not lost, and il that much money
was lost II would not constitute an
indictment of strikes. 1t has not
yet been proved that we would have
any more money or any more
wealth in the form of commodities
IL there had been no strikes.
There are wars that have to be
fought for the sake of human prog
! ress. The German war lords at a
conference table in 1914 would have
been impossible and arrogant. They
were different in 1918. That differ
ence was achieved by conflict. The
world went on strike to achieve the
proper kind of settlement. To make
the settlement before the strike be-
gins is sometimes neither possible
nor desirable"
