Polish troops near the frontier village:
Of Sternalitz and Kostellitz. in Uppe,

II (By The Associated Press).-Co
operation in the interest of thei,
common motherland" was pledged il
an agreement signed here today b,
repre- sentative German industrial ant
political leaders and labor representa-
tlves from all Polish parties in Silesla
The agreement was reached at the ems
of secret conference lasting twelve
hours.
Belief is expresse0 that the confer
ence may result in joint appeal b1
Germans and Poles to the League Of
Nations for prompt settlement of the
Silesian question. 1t also is said that
if such request is made the peti
TONERS probably will ask for an un.
divided Silesia, all for Poland or al
for Germany
Both the InterAllied Commission ir
Silesia and the Berlin government ars
said to have known that to-days con
terence was contemplated, but no at
tempt at interference was made. I'm
medlately after the meeting Johanne.
Lukachek, one of the most powerful
German leaders in Silesia, went te
Oppeln, where he reported to Genera
Henneker, the British commander, al
specially arranged meeting.
During the conference between the
Germans and Poles a discussion was
held aimed at reconciliation which
would protect either side against loss
of their interests if Silesa should bt
awarded undivided to Germany or tc
Poland.
While some officials say they believe
another attempt to take control of the
plebiscite zone will be made by a re-
