WILSON APPEALS
To COAL STRIKERS
STRIKERS REsUmINe WORK, Will,
SON WILL HAVE ALLEGED
INEQUALITIES PRoBEp
APPEAL IN TELEGRAM FORM
Executive Says Miners Are Destroying
Public Confidence In Them BY
Failing To Execute Contract

Observation-Disclosures, Wilson ap
pealed, through the United Mine Work
ers of America, to striking mine labor
ers in Illinois and Indiana, to return
to work.
Inequalities in the existing wage
scale-held by the strike leaders to be
the cause of the walkout which has
closed the bituminous mines in the
two states-may exist, the president
says.
The president adds that he can not
recommend correction of any Unequal
tiles until the strikers return to their
jobs, but, when they do so, he will
invite the joint scale committee of OPP
orators and miners to meet for the
purpose of adjusting any such Unequal
tiles.
The appeal is issued in the form of
a telegram addressed to the United
Mine Workers of America, and sent
out after the president had studied "a
report on the coal situation submit
ted by Secretary of Labor Wilson.
Reports of the strike of mine labor
ers, particularly in Illinois, the presi-
dent says, have been received by him
with "a feeling or regret and sorrow"
He declares he is distressed not only |
because failure at this time to mine !
coal in accordance with the terms of |
the existing contract will result in suf-
fering during the coming winter, but
also because the violation of the terms
of your solemn obligation impairs your
good name, destroys the confidence
which is the basis of all mutual agree
ment and threatens the very foundation
of fair industrial relations"
Pointing out that the United Mine
Workers constitutes the largest single
labor organization in the world, the
president says mo organization could
long endure that sets up its own
as being superior to its ,
plighted faith or its duty to society at :

The peace parleys are coming as a

the Polish-Russian armistice. and TO

Russia is in a position to bring pres

successes and their possible effect on
the peace of all Europe. in the opinion
OF diplomats. They expect the Soviet
spokesman to take advantage of the
situation to renew the campaign for
recognition, and bring an end to the
policy of international ostracism.
i is considered likely in high Of
ficials circles that the Soviet govern
ment may succeed in gaining its de-
sires. Some sort of recognition by
Britain particularly is expected.
The American government, in all
likelihood would not directly partici-
pate in the peace negotiations. There |
nave been conversations on the sub

ais have not been considered.
The government is sympathetic to
Poland and believes the country is

POLAND WANTS MORE CREDIT
The Department Let Poland Have Sup.
plies And Accepted Notes From
Polish Government

J WashingtOn.-The American govern,
ment is confronted with a new prob
lem, growing out Of the European sit.
uation through receipt OF a request
from the Polish legation that Poland
be permitted to purchase 100000 army
uniforms and shoes from the war de.
partment.
Because the question Of neutrality
was involved, it is understood that
the state department hesitated to grant
the request, which was presented by
I Prince Lubormirsky, the Polish min
lister. According to the official rec
ords the United States has maintain
I ed a neutral attitude since Russia and
Poland began hostilities
The United States has not yet re-
ceived from Great Britain an invita-
ton to participate in the proposed con-
ference at London for settlement of
Polish-Russian armistice terms and
neither Britain nor France, which vol
unteeTed to assist Poland in holding
back the Soviet forces, has invited
the cooperation of this country, al
though unofficial information from
London has indicated that support in
both cases is desired.
No action has yet been taken on |
Poland's request that the United |
States government publicly declare its
moral support to the new republic in
it's fight against the Bolsheviki. Al
though it is said in Polish circles here
that cuch a statement evan now would |
be welcomed, in some official quarters
it is suggested that the armistice be-
tween the Poles an dthe Soviet re-
gime makes such a statement inadvis-
able.
AS indicating that the United States
had maintained neutral attitude be-
tween Poland and Soviety Russia since
the opening of the hostilities between
hose countries, Secretary Baker has
made public the record of the sales
by the war department to Poland with
he explanation that nothing had been
old since the hostilities began.

ANARCHY IN IRELAND
LAID TO BOLSHEVlSM
AND GERMAN REVENGE
Leading British Politicians Think The
Sim Fein Is Part Of World
Conspiracy Movement

i Londonf--An official report concern
fng The reception by Premier Lloyd
George of a deputation of Unionist
peers and members of the house of
commons discussion of the subject of
Ireland, shows that the chief spokes-
men of the deputation were the duke
of Northumberland and Sir Edward
Carson, the Unionist leader, both of
whom emphasized that the Sim Fein
was part of a great worldwide con-
spiracy in which Bolshevism and Ger
man revenge were playing an active
part aiming at the destruction of the
British empire.
The duke of Northumberland allud-
ed to an alliance alleged to have been
formed at the beginning of 1919 be-
tween the Sim Fein and Bolsheviki
through DR.. Patrick McCartan, the
Sim Fem Ambassador" to the Unit
ed States.
Sir Edward Carson elaborated his
theme of the existence in the United |
States and other parts of the world |
of propaganda bureaus representing
the discontinued peoples of Egypt,
India and Ireland. He argued that
it was from the time that Frank P.
Walsh "of the Indian propaganda BIZ
reau in America" came to Ireland last
year, that the Sim Fem became I'M
manageable in a conspiracy which he
said would eventually beat the Brit
ish government. Sir Edward quoted
from speeches of Judge Daniel F. Co
halan of New York to support his ar I
guments. He referred to the existence
of a German propaganda bureau in Zu
rich to foment Irish discomfort, and de- S
clared that Germany never would S
abandon her struggle for revenge He i
also spoke disdainfully of the princi- I
pie Of selfdetermination being applied f
to all small nations without considera- il
tion of the interests of larger nations. C
