No RESULTS ON
PARLEY OFFER
Neither Bosses nor W0rkmen
Appear to Take Chamber
of Commerce Offer Kindly
TO SETTLE THE TROUBLE
Trades Council Say That
They Will Deal Directly
With the Master Builders.

From the trend of opinion today,
which was obtained at both the
headquarters of the Building Trades
Association and the Building Trades
Council, it would seem as if these
two organizations did not take any
too, kindly to the offer made by the
Chamber of Commerce to be of as
sistance in bringing about settle
ment in the present strike situation
here. Although nothing could be
obtained officially in the matter the
opinions gathered about both head
quarters were to this effect.
The Building Trades Association
officially gave out the information,
that as yet they have not received
the communication from the Cham
Der of Commerce inviting them to
have representatives at the confer
ence, scheduled to be held at 4
o'clock today.
The Building Trades Council re-
ceived the letter from the Chamber
of Commerce at their special meet
ing last night, and sent a communi-
cation to the chamber informing
them that the question had been
taken up with the master builders
and they would deal directly with
them.
Isaac Alpern. president of the
Chamber of Commerce, when seen
shortly before noon today, said that
as yet no answer had been received
from the nlunication sent to the
two organizations yesterday. offer
ing to be of assistance in bringing
a settlement in the present contro-
versy. He said that John Pfeiffer
and himself would be at the Cham
Der of Commerce headquarters at 4
o'clock today, as a committee to
meet the delegates from the two or
ganizations If they attended the con-
ference as suggested.
According to information given out
today by the Building Trades Coun-
Gil. the council cannot act for the
unions in general. each union has to
come to some agreement with the
boss who employs them, and the
only way in which the council can
act for the men is when they so re-
quest the council. This they have
not done, and for this reason it is
impossible for the council to meet
the Building Ira des Association at
this time. The only way in which a
settlement can be brought about is
for the various master builders to
make separate agreements with the
various craftsmen employed by them.
In reply to the communication
sent to the council by the Building
Trades Association, the council
pointed out that it would remain
neutral in this controversy until such
time as respective locals hold con-
ferences with the employers.
1t was reported at the headquar-
ters of the council today that three
n inc oe-tS I,,;I o
Roosevelt, have resumed work EN-
ploying union labor at the old wage
scale.
Indications are that the master
builders will begin work tomorrow
morning, employing anyone who
cares to work, whether union or
non-union.

Believe Crisis Auerted
By Allied Pren1iers On
Polish Revolt Issue
Issue Pancr Currency

KATTOWITZ. Silcsia. May H.
Adelbert Korfanty. leader OF the
Polish insurgent movement in Upper
Siesia, issued an ultimatum to in
dustrial interests directing them to
sign a specially issued Polish Silesian
paper currency to relieve the money
stringency brought on by refusal of
the German reichstag to transport
250,000,000 marks to pay the miners
wages. The action was taken be-
cause of fears that enraged workers
might destroy German property in
the area or encouragement might he
given to what appears to be a grow
ing tendency toward bolshevism to a
point where industries might be sa-
botaged.
While awaiting a reply korfanty
is strengthening frontier forces,
adding to them from all sources in
the interior, and leaving only senti-
nels to garrison the town, which are
secured against possible German
offensive movement by reason of
their distance from the front.
The German interests object to
the proposed currency issue on the
ground that such money might be
raised at a lower value than Polish
money and ultimately it might be-
come worthless and prove an embar-
rassment to all industries.

BOB 9TEGAVAY
FOUND GUILTY
Convicted on One Count, That
of Receiving Stolen Goods,
After Long Trial.
rBv Evening News STAN Correspond ent.l

lBy Evening News Stan Correspondent
NEW BRUNSWICK. May IT,
After celebrating for more than
four hours a verdict of guilty on
two counts of larceny and of re-
ceiving stolen goods was found
against Ernest Teschke, of the
Fords section OF Woodbridge town
ship, last night and Robert Steg-
away. of Keasbey, was acquitted or
the larceny charge but found guilty
of the receiving indictment. These
two men were charged with the
theft of a consignment of. cigars
from a freight car at Metuchen and
their trial had been on since the
latter part of last week. The jury
went out at 4:45 o'clock yesterday
afternoon and returned with their
verdict at o'clock last night. Both
men will in all probability be sem
fenced next Friday.
Teschke, who before his trial had
made a statement duplicating both
himself and Stegaway, contradicted
his former statement on the stand
and endeavored to prove an alibi.
Stegaway was on the stand only a
short time. He said that he was at
a dance at Fords until 1885 o'clock
stopped in a barber shop on his way
home. He had witnesses to prove
this. He said he got up o'clock
the following morning and met
Louis Orisz who was going to Perth
Amboy by automobile. He accom-
panied him. going to the store of
Russell Epstein. Stegaway' denied
having any part in any transactions.
Stegaway denied every charge or al
legation made in the indictment. He
was emphatic in his statement that
at no time had he sold any cigars TO
Epstein. In rebuttal, however. Ep-
stein testified that he had bought
cigars from Stegaway the day after
the robbery. Stegaway admitted he
had been convicted of crime once
before.
Harry Hyman, who said he was in
Epstein's store while Stegaway and
Teschke, together with Oriscz were
there, corroborated Epstein's testi-
mony. Epstein identified photo
graphs of Stegaway presented to
him in his store as those of the man
who had sold him the cigars, it was
brought out in the trial.

LONDON. May 17.-Tension over
the Polish revolt in Silesia which
over the weekend threatened a crisis
in the ranks of the ententes seemed
here today to have passed for the
moment at least. Exchange of views
on the subject has been proceeding
between London and Paris, and
there seems to be confidence that
Lloyd George and BRAND would
reach an understanding when they
meet. They may hold conference
next week.
Berlin and Warsaw dispatches
have served to reassure the British
public and it was believed today that
neither Germany ror Poland would
take steps that would increase the
gravity of the situation pending

APP0IN NTMENTS
Up To TREATY
Speculation as to What Gov
ernor Will Do With 2 N. J.
Navigation Board Jobs.
IBy Evening News Correspondent. ]


TRENTON, May 17-Speculation
is being indulged in as to what Gov
ernor Edwards will do with the two
appointments he has to make in
the near future to the State Board
of Commerce and Navigation, to
succeed its present chairman, j..
Spencer Smith, Democrat, of Tena-
fly. and Robert F. Engle of Beach
Havens Rephbliean. Their terms ex-
plre on July next and the hitch
over their reappointment or selec-
ton of successors, names for which
were expected to go to the senate
before the legislature adjourned has
been occasioned by governors con-
troversy with those who put through
at the last session the New York
Port Treaty legislation.
By the terms of the legislation
passed Mr.. Smith together with
De Witt Van Buskirk, of Bayonne.
and Frank Il. Ford, of Caldwell, are
designated as the New Jersey mem
bers of the port commission, the
three New York members being
Curtis James, Eugene II. Outer
bridge and William r. Wilcox, all
of New York city.
The governor was opposed to the
port treaty legislation passed last
winter and Mr.. Smith was for It,
Consequently the hitch in the lat
ter'S reappointment to the Gem
merce and Navigation Board. Those
favoring the treaty in its present
shape, as opposed to the governors
view that action should be deferred
in the negotiations between the two
states until later. saw to i. that the
names of the three New Jersey
members of the commission were
read into the law that was passed
designating the commission, thus
depriving the executive of the right
Of appointing whom he wanted.
The reappointment of Mr.. Engle
is not under stood to be involved in
the Port Treaty controversy. and it
is expected that the governor will
rename him. There is stronog pres
sure being brought to bear also for
the remaining of Mr.. Smith. but his
support of the present treaty, as
against the executives opposite at
titude. may result In his rundown
in the end. The Senate confirms
these appointments, which are for
four years. There Is no salary at
tached. The talk is that il other
names than those of both Engle and
Smith go to the senate when it re-
convenes in special session in the
near future, at the governors call.
they will not be confirmed. How
ever, Mr.. Edwards may not send
any nominations in and after the
special session can make ad interim
appointments to this board of
whomever he chooses.

TO ALLOW NO EMERGENCY
RATES UNLESS NECESSARY
rBy Evening News Correspondent. ]

TRENTON, May 17.-Chairman
John J. Treacy of the Public Utility
Board, today announced that it will
not grant any more emergency rates
to companies unless it is shown that
they are imperatively necessary.
The statement was made when this
Suggestion was broached by the
Trenton & Mercer County Traction
Corporation which wanted its ten
cent fare proposal put into effect
pending the final disposition of its
permanent rate by the board.
Mr.. Treacy stated that emergency
rates were granted during the war
and because of unusual conditions
then but he doubted whether these
conditions could be said to prevail
now sufficiently to warrant such
step.
The statement was taken as an In
dication of the boards attitude on
all the trolley fare cases pending
with respect to emergencies.
