Tuesday in the contempt of court case
against him and five other union Off
cials. gave some of his views on the
Kansas industrial court and courts in
general. He declared that tho indus
trial court was unconstitutional.
Tho union officials are charged with
contempt for calling a strike in viola
ton of an injunction. The hearing was
before District Judge A j. Curran.

ncy for the industrial court. II he would

the case against Howat and i've other
union officials. Judge Curran took the
case under advisemcnt and announced
that he would announce his decision

Questioned by the defense, Bowat
said that the strike was called because
the company had refused to pay sec5,
back wages alleged to be due to n
young miner with a widowed mother.
The wage controversy had extended
ovor threo years. Howat testified.
Attorney Jackson, for tho Industrial
court, asked IL the district board, had
considered that the calling OF the strike
was in violation OF the injunction and
that it might end in u jail sentence
for the members. Howat replied:

ton, But Punishment
Impossible.

London, Eng. Feb. 15.-(By The As
sociatcd Prcss)-The report of Major
General Strickland, commander of the
troops in ireland covering the in
duiry into the Cork fro. will not be
published, the premier announced in
the house of commons Tuesday night.
The decision he added had been taken
in the interest OF re-establishment of
law and order in Ireland.
Mr.. Lloyd George explained there
was enough i'm the report to satisfy
the government that there had been
acts in violation of discipline. but 1t
was impossible to identify individuals
responsible.
The stcrnest action had been taken
however with reference to the com
pany involved. Seven mon suspect
cd OF violating discipline had been dis
missed. the officer commanding had
been suspended and tho company dis
solved.
The premier said tho report was not
really n report by General Strickland
but simply dealt with tho occurrences
to inform tho government. The pre-
mier's statement brought cries from
tho labor benches that the civilian evi-
dence had not been called but MIR.
Eloyd=Goorye declared 1t was not true
and added:
"Furthermorc. certain civilians of
Cork from whom the government is
anxious TO have evidence. have fed to
America"
Tho premier took tho floor to defend
tho government in attacks made by
former Premier Asquith and John
Robert Clynes, labor member and
former food controller. who asked for
an explanation OF the kinE4 speech
with reference to ireland. England.
India, Mcsopotamia, tho London con-
ference. tho treaty Of Svres and other
matters. MIR. Asauith remarked the
speech was notable for its ''omis-
sions."
The premier confined himself chief
" to Ireland. He said that tho peace
negotiations broke down on the ques-
tions of a truce when the government
demanded the surrender of arms.
The sin Feiners would not shur-
render their arms he declared "and
from that It was clear that they had
not abandoned the idea of securing tho
independence OF Ireland by force of
arms.
Until they do abandon that idea
there will be no peace in Ireland
Alluding to the Mallow shooting, he
said the railway men thus far had
failed to come forward and testify as
to who was guilty. and he added we
are not going TO submit to threats of
strike"
The government was willing to guar
antee an inquiry II the railroad men
were ready to cooperate. He recount
cd the achievements of tho government
toward re-esta ablishment of order in
Ireland and expressed the belief that
its efforts were meeting with success
with reference to the report of Wis
count Miner on Egypt, he said. the
house would have the opportunity of
discussing it. The government was not
yet able to say whether the report
would be accepted as a basis for an

RECOGNITION FROM AMERICA

sia for tho present at least, under Gov
let control.
This government has consistently
held to the belief that tho soviet gov
crnmont must and will bo overthrown.
Any efforts by separate groups TO
throw off soviet rule should therefore
be encouraged. Bithuania has taken
an important step in this direction and
should be given every encouragement
to maintain her existing democratic
form OF government"
The communication also asked for
recognition of bithuania as a safe
guard against the use Of that country
as a baCtIe ground for Poland and SOW
let Russia.
The presence of Polish troops on
Lithuanian soil constitutes a grave
menace to tho peace of central Eu-
rope" the letter continued
BY her peace treaty with Lithuan-
la. soviet Russia agreed to respect tho
neutrality OF Lithuanian territory as
long as other nations similarly respec-
ted II.
Presence OF Polish troops is a vio-
lstion OF this treaty involving tho dan
ger of an invasion of Lithuania by
Russian troops
"Lithuania must be considered either
as an independent nation or as part of
Russia. no middle ground is recoS-
nized.
''If Bithuania should be recognized
by the United States as an independent
nation with consequent admission into
the league of nations and guarantee
of territorial integrity Poland would
be obliged to withdraw her troops.-
