.PREM|ERS ATTACK SOVIET 0L|GARCHY No Free Government Could Consider Sinister Propos-
 als, Is Declaration
sy A..seIasss rrsss

Lucerne, August 23-In a long com- munioue issued here today after con- ference .pstween Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain and Premier Giolitti of Italy, profound regret is expressed that the soviet seeks to impose conditions in- compatible with Polands Independence in proposing to arm portion of the Polish civilians to the exclusion of others which, it says. is a gross breach ot faith. making negotiations difficult if not impossible.
 It declares if the soviet still refuses to withdraw this sinister proposal and con tinues war inside Polish territory to i'm pose it's acceptance, no free government can either acknowledge or deal with the soviet oligarchy."
 Before peace is fully established, how ever. says the eommunique, there are a number of important questions to be de- cided, a majority of which are indis- solubiy connected with the march of events in the territories of the former Russian empire
 Until peace is fully established be- tween Russia and the rest of the world an atmosphere of disturbance and un- settlement will continue to menace .he world Therefore the British and Italian governments have been taking steps in the face of much misrepresentation to restore communications between Russia and the world outside, says the com munique.

 Montgomery, August 23.-(Specia1)-- Railroad freight rates on intrastate traf- lie were advanced 25 per cent. passenger fares 20 per cent, Pullman rates 50 per cent and express rates l2lA per cent by order of the Alabama public service commission, announced late today The freight. passenger and Pullman rates are effective August 2S. the day the iE- creases of interstate commerce granted by the interstate commerce commission are operative. while the increase on ex- press rates will be effective when these granted by the interstate commerce com misslon in interstate shipments are op- erative-
 The one exception made by the com mission is on freight rates on iron orc and limestone intended for furnaces and industrial uses, the commission reserving a decision on the petition for the in- crease in these rates on the ground that furnace operators have complained that the railroads are now collecting charges which are higher than the legal rates.
 In announcing the decision, the asso- ciate commissioners, s. P. Gaillard of Mobile and B. H. Cooper of Birmingham, retained Jurisdiction and announced that the order would not prejudice any de- x.tsion which may be made at 8 formal hearing of the petitions which has been set for september 6. The commissioners invited all persons who desire to oppose the increases to appear and offer evi- dence in support of their opposition. They promised full and free hearing to all persons.
 The railroads, in asking for. the in- creases. agreed that the temporary es- n bIishment of the increases would not Tmd the commission in any future or 6rr. and that the commission may, on . l6nAl hearing. make any reductions or

INCLUDE TWO MORE IN INJUNCTION ID
 HOLD UP SUFFRAGE
Amended Bill Makes Chief Clerks of House and Sen ate Parties to Order
 Against CertificatiOn
By Associated Press

Nashville, August 23---An amended order making W. M Carter and John Green, chief clerks of the senate and house, respectively. parties to the tenn porary injunction restraining the gov ernor, secretary of state and speakers of the senate and house from taking any action with regard to certifying ratification of the woman suffrage amendment to Washington, was the only important development today in the contest over Tennessee's ratifica- ton of the measure.
 The original bill filed Saturday py citizens opposed to suffrage was based largely on the contention that actior on the amendment DIV this legislature was inhibited by the state constiti- ton.
 The amended bill sets forth that the action of the nouse Saturday in taking from the journai and defeating a mo- ton that the house reconsider it's rat ification Of the amendment, and in or dering that the measure be transmitted to the senate for expressing, was null and void because the house was not a any time during said day legally and constitnutionally organized for the transaction of business"
 More than score of house meinb bers opposed to ratification went to Deca- tur early Saturday in order to break k quorum and prevent further action. Sixty-six members constitute a quor- um, but only fifty-nine answered roll call. The suffraglsts ignored the con tention of the few members of the op- position in attendance that there was no quorum declared the house in ses- sion and proceeded to do what the bolters had hoped to prevent.
 NO DATE SET
 No date yet has been set for argu- ment on the restraining order, but 1t was expected this would take place Wednesday or Thursday
 Absence of the holting solons has vir- tually brought to q standstill the legis- latve machinery. The senate is up with it's work and is waiting on the house Some of the suffragists in the house to- day attempted to dispense with roll call and work on local bills. but an anti. on demanding roll call and finding a quo- rum was lacking, moved adjournment until late tomorrow afternoon.
 This is expected to be the usual pso- cedure the next few days at least
 Rumors today that an agreement had been reached between suffrage leaders and the bolters at Decatur to return to Nashville and proceed with Legislation under pledge that suffrage would not. be referred < by either faction were de- nied in aIf duarters.
 SeGh Walker, spcTKs4 AofNtfYe house aud opposition leader. said he had no ab- thority to speak for the members at De- catur, but that he was certain they would not agree to such a pian.
 The suffragists still maintain their ac- tion Saturday was egal in every respect and regard the temporary injunction as the only stumbling block in the way ot certifying ratification to Washlngtor. They were confident the injunction

 Goyesnor Kilby stated that he had given no Consideration to the propos- ton. but that Mir. Greens successor would be named as soon as possible In rendering the resignation, Mir. Green told the governor he regretted to surrender the office because the bankers of Ala bama had given him, their unqualified support: many had urged him 10 retain the office and others had informed him that he could obtain better position with bank now or at the expiration of his term.
 He said the call being made by Chris tian men and women was one which hs could not turn down; that he felt while others were making sacrifices he snould do likewise. and that careful con- alteration had forced him to the con- clusion that this was one call for service which his conscience would require him to answer.

VICTORIOUS POLES WILL NOT ADVANCE
 BEYOND FRONTIER
Early Communication From Warsaw to This Effect Is Expected By Polish Off,
 ficials in Washington
By Associated Press


 Washington, August 2s.-Complete assurance will be given the United States, it was stated today in Polish official circles, that Polands victorious armies will not pursue their advance beyond the natural frontiers of the reconstructed republic. An early com munication from Warsaw 10 this effect was expected by these officials.
 Representatives setting forth the views of this government has been made through the legation at Warsaw, the state department announced today, the communication reiterating the stand taken hy Secretary Colby in hls recent note to the Italian ambassa- dor.
 The position of the American gov ernment as outlined then was that the allied and associated powers should unite in < declaration favoring the preservation of the Integrity of Rus sia such a declaration to be accom- panied "by the announcement that no transgression by Poland will be per mitted."
 WILL ALLAY SUSPICION
 The Polish reply, legation officials said, would set at rest any suspicious that Poland was contemplating the promulsation of hostilities into .offen- sive war against Russia. Assurances of this nature, 1t was added. already had been given the soviet government envoys by the Polish peace delegates at Mrsk.
 No formal representations have been exchanged with the allies by the United States regarding the possible transi- tfon of the Polish operations from defensive to an offensive character The American government is under stood to be content with the position as set forth in it's note and represen- tations made to the Polish govern ment have been only an elaborization of the principles contained in that doctiment. Great Britain, however, through Premier Lloyd George already has announced her opposition to any transgression by Poland of Russian territory. For the present, it is be- lieved that the British government vii rest on the announcements of the British position by Lloyd George in the House of Commons before taking CD a possible formal rejoinder to, the American note to the Italian ambassa- dor,in which the invitation was issued for declaration by the allied and assocfated powers for their attitude toward 2oland and Russia.
 PLAN JOINT POLICY
 The first approaches to a joint allied policy toward t1e respective situations is believed here to have been made by Premier Lloyd George il4bis present conferences with Premier Grolitti of Italy and in the later discussions wTtfs. Premier MilIerand of France. It Js also regarded by officials here as slgnifi- cant in this connection that the British premier is reported to be planning to receive this week thf German premier, Dr. Fehrnback. and Rr. Walter Simons. German minister oi foreign affairs, It is not believed that the united states will receive any fur5er replies to the lCOntinued on Page Two)
