HOT EMBERs

TT is the part of optimism to say and be-
i lieve that Frenchmen, Poles, Russians,
Germans and British are blutfing desperately
in Silesia, where the embers Of the recent
war seem ready to burst into fresh flame.
That may be. The budding war of which
the foreign correspondents have so much to
say may be nothing but a war Of words and
gestures. But in cases of this sort even
bluff can be enormously costly. The aggre-
gate of money and human energy expended
recently in preparations for sieges and bat
ties IN the Silesian areas is truly appalling.
The Russian Soviet Government has called
up four new cldsses Of conscripts to be ready
for an invasion Of Poland The Poles have
been informed that the Russians will attack
them as soon as they attempt anything like
an organized advance into Silesian areas
normally German. Warsaw, in answer to
this threat, has summoned new conscripts
to the colors. The French are reported to
be rushing vast quantities of war material
including tanks and airplancs-to the Polish
front. Where would the plans for an in
ternational disarmament conference be IL
war should break out in Silesa?
The question at issue In this new seat
~ unrest relates to the future control of the
rich supplies of Industrial raw materials in
Silesia. The French frankly desire to keep
Silesian coal and iron from Germany. 1t
looks as II the British are almost as eager
to keep these same valuable resources from
their French competitors. The Polish Army
command is charged by the Germans with
having encouraged an advance Of Polish
irregulars into disputed territory solely to
advance French interests. The British are
almost alone in demanding rational settle
ment of the whole matter at the hands of
the Supreme Council Of the League of Ma
tions.
The worst thing about the present state
of affairs In Silesia is that most Of the
Powers involved do not appear to fear the
effects of a new war. The Russian Soviet
Government thrives on war and is strength
ened by 1t. Some Of the militaristic Poles
believe that, with French assistance, they
could become almost at once first class
military Power on the Continent. Even
Germany, when she is not publicly rejoicing
at the evidences Of allied discord, appears to
feel that she could hold her own in an open
war for what she deems her rights in
Silesia and perhaps restore her vanished
national spirit. And the mlitarists at
Paris need only a sign of German plans for
aggression Of any sort to permit them to
carry out an invasion Of the Ruhr Valley,

LET HoUSEHOLDERS NOTE 1T

THE campaign of prosecution of house
i holders who disregard the regulations
requiring garbage to be put in covered non
leaking receptacles ought to bring about
better conditions. 1t is announced that
there have been ten prosecutions a day for
the last week, resulting in a fine in each
case of so. with costs amounting to $3.50
This is the only way to bring about an
observance of the ordinances. RI house
holders who put rubbish and ashes on the
curb in open pasteboard boxes were also
fined once or twice they would discover that
it is cheaper to get the proper kind of an
ash can than to use makeshifts. And the
work of the street cleaners would be made
easier.
The laws are all right. but they are dis
regarded so generally that man walking
about any district on rubbish collection day
would be excusable if he inferred that every
one was allowed to do aS he pleased.

A QUAY CASE IN ILLINOIS

THE report of the indictment of the Gov
l. ernor and Lieutenant Governor of Ili-
nois on the charge of making a profit out of
handling State funds will recall to Pennsyl-
vanians the famous trial of the late Senator
Quay on a similar charge.
Quay escaped conviction because the
charges were made after the legal limit for
prosecution for such an offense had expired.
But it was shown that he had used public
funds for his personal profit.
Illinois has a constitutional provision for
bidding the State Treasurer to receive any
compensation other than his salary. The
indicted officials are accused of violating
this law.
If they are proved guilty it will be hoped
by all friends Of public morality that the
prosecution has been started in time to pre-
vent any statute of limitations from saving
them from jail

LOSS OF HAND
King Wins Compensation
Action Before Accident
Board
MILL OWNERS
FOUGHT CLAIM

The Industrial Accident Board
was confronted with probably the
most difficult problem in its his
tory at its meeting this morning,
when IL was called upon to pass
judgment in the case of Hampton
w King VS.. George Shockley. The
complainant claimed compensation
for the loss OF his right hand while
in the employ OF the defendant, who
conducts a saw mill at Rehoboth.
Compensation was allowed for 15S
weeks at s. a week
The first contention OF Mr.. Shock
ley was that the compensation law
did not affect the case. as he em-
pioyed fewer than FIVE men and only
four being paid for their services.
while one OF two men were allowed
to work without compensation. The
question was whether man work
ing without compensation could be
considered an employe. To this con
tention the board ruled that there
were more than five men employed.
and that both employer and employe
were subject to the compensation
law
A second contention OF the en-
ployer was that the injury was due
to deliberate and wreckless indif-
ference to danger on the part Of the
/ injured 6mploye. The board ruled
that the burden Of proof rested with
the employer and that the conten-
tion was not substantiated by evil
dence.
In the third contention OF Mr..
Shockley, was that the injured en-
ploye ha drefused to accept offered
employment suitable to his capa-
city. following his return from the
hospital after his injury. The board
ruled on this contention that King
in refusing to work Immediately on
coming from the hospital was justi-
/ fable, but furthermore on this
point the board ruled that inasmuch
as provision is made for specific pay
ments in injury cases OF this nature
neither disability for work nor earn
ing power, is a factor in determin.
ing the liability OF the employer, OF
the amount OF compensation TO bC
paid The board ruled therefore
that the third contention did not ar
feet the case as the point does no
apply.
1t was decided to have pamphlet

sation Law. issued and distributed
