Washington. = Organized la b er
throughout the world, especially III the
United States, Is urged to raise its
voice In protest against the ruthless
persecution and slaughter of labor
unienists" In Soviet Russia in nh APP
peal issued here by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
.'1.et the Soviet sayages know what
labor of the civilized world thinks of
their bestial SYSTEM" the appeal de-
clares.
"I.et every labor organization In the
country respond"
The federations statement declared
THAT after "tricling" labor into sup
porting the Soviet regime, Trotzky and
Lenine, it's leaders, began to "carry out
their threats of determination of the
leaders of labor and peasant parties
and also of so-called hostages
1.-THE offense of the labor unionists
was very clear" said the appeal, they
fundamentally are opposed to the so
called government set up by Lenine
and his handful of associate dictators.
"As far as is possible under that
ruthless tyranny organized labor of
Russia everywhere is in a state Of full
revolt.
"Organized workers are doing what
they can to reach the hearts and minds
of the laboring humanity in all coun-
tries, but they are working against
overwhelming obstacles-refusal of the
bread card, which means immediate
starvation for their families, the firing
squad, death by torture in prisons.
st Is difficult for them even to
speak, and a decree especially forbid
ding speeches at labor union meetings,
has been issued"
The appeal cites at length list of
charges against the Soviet regime, de-
claring that it has established sys-
tenn of slavery" made long hours and
Sunday work compulsory, and has for
hidden strikes.

INVASION OF
GERMANY NEAR
ALLIES TO ACT PROMPTLY If
BERLIN FAILS TO MEET
OBLIGATIONS.
Marshal Ferdinand Foch in England
to Confer With Field Marshal Will
son Upon Proposals of Applying
Pressuge to Germany.
EEIllllXHITn

LOndOn.-On the virtual eve of the
allied conference with the Germans on
the PREPARATION and disarmament 0ues-
ton the two principal allied military
chiefs, Marshal Ferdinand Foch, of
France and Field Marshal Sir Henry
Hughes Wilson, British Chief of Staff,
passed the weekend, by invitation,
with Premier David Lloyd George, of
Great Britain, and Premier Aristide
BRAND, of France, in their seclusion
at Chequers Court, the new country
home of the Prime Minister of Eng
land.
The purpose of the consultation was
to reduce to definite form the various
proposals for the application of mill
tary and. economic pressure sufficient
to change the mind of Germany should
her government refuse the Preparations
terms of the allies.
The present exchange of views by
no means was the first between the two
military chieftains as to what action
could be taken and continued effective
ly for months, or even years, to compel
Germany to meet what are considered
to be her obligations.
While one aspect of the conference
is a dramatic warning to Germany
that the invasion of certain parts of
her territory may follow refusal OF
compliance on her part, another is
that the French Government, which
would have to supply most of the
troops, desires to be in position to
act suddenly should the moment re-
Quiring action arrive.

United Mine Workers of America,
coal operators associations and min
ing companies were indicted in the
Federal Court of the Indiana District

vestigating the coal trade for two
weeks. The indictments are more
sweeping in character than those
which were returned her last March,
when nearly $50 operators and min
ers of Indiana, Ohio, Western Penn
sylvania and Illinois were indicted on
a conspiracy charge under the Lever
act. The charge last March was that
conspiracy had existed among the
miners and operators and between
them to control and increase the price
of bituminous coal in what is known
as the Central Competitive District, as
named above These indictments are
pending in part, Judge A. b. Ander-

ernoon include operators and miners
indicted last March. The names of
the coal companies and associations
indicted were made public, but the
names of several individuals were

ment net Judge Anderson has fixed

A BIG HOWL GOES UP
Bankers Object to Making Public
Amount of Salaries Paid to
Officials.

Washington.-The Pittsburg Clear
ing House Association was accused by
Comptroller Williams, of the Currency,
of having forbidden its member
banks to furnish data asked for in
the national bank call issued by the
COmptrolled.
THE obvious purpost of inclusion
Of the clauses, apparently found OBJ
iectionable in Pittsburg," Mr.. Will
liams said, was to develop whether
money of depositors in national banks
is being diverted from its proper
function of supplying legitimate bust
ness and enterprise to earn fancy rates
from the need or recklessness of
speculators at distance, and whether
disproportionate or improper amounts
of the earnings of banks are being ex-
pended in salaries to officials.

red flag was raised over a big cleo

Gennevilliers, ended in failure, accord
ing to the police and military authori-
ties. On the other hand, the leaders
Of the Communists say that it was
complete success.
The police and military draw their
conclusions from the fact that not Il
single man is at work on the plant,
while the leaders in the Soviet move
ment point out that the red flag is fly

tory.
, trouble had its origin when the
worlmen refused to quit the place in
spite of a lockout declared by the COM
pany. which had reduced wages because
the employees had slackened up in their
work. Louis Loucheur, the Minister OF
Liberated Regions, is interested in the
company.
"An armed peace"is the situation at
present. with hundreds of gendarmeS
and Republican guards patrolling the
plant at Gennevilliers, which is just TO
the north of Paris, in the Department
of the Seine, while the workmen are
assembled across the River Seine, in
the Department Of Seine-et-Oise, at Ar,
genteuli, singing the "Internationale"
and proclaiming that they will rush the
works.
At dusk the workmen made con-
certed attempt to cross the bridge
over the Seine, shouting "Down with
the policer' The police and gen
darmes easily repealed the attempted
invasion after they had brought down
a few of the manifestants with their
sabers. No one was injured seriously

LADS LOST IN WOODS
AT GRANITE HILL

Harold and Carl Fabriza, ages 8
and II, of As Capitol street, entered
the woods at Granite Hill, at point
near Morang's Crossing, late Thurs
day afternoon, in search of their lost
dog, and early Friday morning they
had not returned to their home.
Alarmed at their absence the mother
and one of the children went to the
woods at midnight in search of the
lost boys. About an hour later Police
officers Hunnewell and Bruce in an
automobile with six<volunteers went
to the Hill to join in the search. The
boys went to the Hill at about S
o'clock Thursday afternoon, heard
barking in the woods, and went into
the thick growth of trees in the hope
OF finding their much priced pet. At
9 o'clock in the evening the dog
came home alone.
The only harm of which the boys
could be in danger would be from
exposure, it would seem, and as the
night was very mild there seemed
no great cause for concern in this
respect. The boys wore blue and
brown suits and each wore a mack

Chief Secretary
for Ireland Wears
Sprig of Shamrock

London .larch 17.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press) A little scene occurred
at the opening of the House of Com
mons this afternoon when Sir Hamar
Greenwood, chief secretary for Ireland
made his appearance with a sprig OF
coat.
jeremiah MacVeagh, Nationalist
member for the southern division of
County Down, when he saw the sham
rock said to the chief secretary:
Take that shamrock out of your
coat. Don't be insulting to Ireland"
Il have hoped" replied Sir Hamar
that the influence of the great Chris
tan saint might save Ireland"
The chief secretary then went on to
answer questions regarding Ireland
upwards of a hundred of which were
addressed to him and Premier Lloyd
George. These questions brought out
nothing new.
Mr.. Lloyd-George, however, explain
ed that the proposed new parliament
in Ireland had the powers of a con-
stituent assembly within limits, but
that no constituent assembly that any
one might set up in Ireland would be
given the power for forming any con-
stitution without reference to j the

|Cony High and
Portland Basketball
Teams Clash Tonight

The climax of the basketball season
comes tonight at the. Cony High
school Assembly hall when Portland
High makes it's first invasion in
many years on the local floor. On
Wednesday evening, Cony lost a one
point decision to the blue and white
warriors on Portland's own floor. The
game was said to have been one of
the fiercest fought contests which
the Portland High team has had this
year, and barring the defeat which
was given them on Bangor's floor
last week, was the hardest game
which the Portland team has had 10
play this season.
This will probably be Cony's last
High school game this year and as
such the local quintet is out not only
for revenge on Portland, but to make
the ending of their season as glorious
as was its beginning. Local fans
should not forget that Cony is the
team which beat the generally ac-
cepted State Champions of Edward
Little, the first of the season and
piled up commanding scores on the
fastest teams in the State. In fact
during the second period of the Morse
High game at Bath, Cony did what
no other team has done against Morse
this season, on Morse's own floor,
mind you. made as many points as
the Perkinsites. Cony will play a
great game Friday evening against
Portland High and there will doubt
less be a big crowd of students ,nd
fans on hand to support the locals
Coach Thompson will use his same
team, starting Capt. Pete Pierce at
center, harrington and Plummer at
forwards and Knowles and Brennan
at guards. Coach Mcknight of Port
land has announced that Neavling,
the Flaherty boys, Curran, Greeley
and Flavin will make the trip. The
Portland papers say that this is the
best team that Portland has put out
this season. Arthur Abbott will blow
the whistle so that strict interpreta-
ton of the rules is assured to both
teams. Prior to the big game he en-
ployed boys of the Y. M. G. A. will
stage a curtain raiser with the Cony
Second team, this game beginning
promptly at 7.30 o'clock.

the Entente.
No announcement has yet come to
the German government as to how
the Entente purposes to collect Gus
toms, nor has there been any sug-
gestion Of further conferences on the
Preparations problem. Prominent Ger
mans assert that they feel that arbi-
tration through disinterested judges
probably is the only way that q sails
facory adjustment Of the Preparations
question can be achieved.
The question no longer is politi-
cal one. in theopinion of German lead
ers, but purely a financial one. They
declare it now is a question of fact
and figures which a disinterested ar
bitter could pass on with greater JUS
tice than politicians who are actual
