ARE READY 10
 NEGOTIATE ON
 ENGLISH TERMS

Dublin, Aug. 12-Eamonn De Valera's letter to Premier Lloyd George informed the Premier that the Sim Fein Parliament (Dail Eireann) is ready to negotiate for peace upon the English terms, according to the best of authority here today.
 Dai1 Eireann will meet next Tues day.
 The communication, so far as could be learned here, does not request the release of all the Sim Feiners now detained in prison or detention camps. The Republican leaders are conscious of the fact that such a demand prob ably would precipitate 8, breakdown of the negotiations.
 London, Aug. 12-A cabinet meet ing has been summoned for II o'clock tomorrow morning, to consider the Sinn F'ein reply to the English peace offer.
 Premier L1oyd-George will reach London at 10 o'clock tonight from Paris.
 Art OBrien, head of the Irish Self Determination League and so-called Sim F'ein ambassador to London, formally denied reports current here that Eamonn De Valera's reply in cIudes g. demand for amnesty.

Ambassador Harvey told the coun- cil this morning that the United States government had thought from |. the beginning that the Upper Silesian question was purely an European one, and as it now was to be referred to the League of Nations on which ed, he thought he would be interpret ing the view of his government by not participating in the decision to refer the question to the league.
 On the question of additional allied troops for Upper Si1esia, the supreme council adopted in principle plan for sending endorsements after the League of Nations has handed down : Great Britain. Italy. and France, each to send its share Meanwhile the supreme council is sending warning to the German and Polish govern ments that order must hem aintained in the disputed territory.
 Premier Lloyd George expressed the opinion that there would be no trouble in the district provided the high commissioners were instructed to show strict impartia1ity.
 In turning over the entire question of the league, the supreme council has requested the leagues council tto urgency and to make its report at the earliest time possible"
 Just before Lloyd George left the council, Solicitor General Pollock and Commander Talcott, the British dele gates to the trials of persons accused of war crimes which were tried by the German court at Leipsic, appear yed before the council and presented their report, which had been com to Lloyd George last night. The report stated that 1t was consid- : cred justice had been done at the kLeipsic trials as regarded the Eng fish cases, with the exception that [ the sentences were too 1enient in one or two instances, but that justice had fnote been done in the French and Belgian cases.
 The action taken by the council af- -ter hearing the reports was to request sthe allied representatives who had at tended the Leipsic trials to make re- ports to their governments concern sing what attitude they judged the all flied countries should adopt toward sthis German court.

 Tihon Sinchuk and Alexander Yavsk, were arrested by the Bridge port police on March 1, last, and charged with circulating seditious lit eratures There was no denial of the charge made. but when the case reached Judge William M Maltbie during the spring term of Superior criminal court, an agreement was reached between the court and At torney Abe s. Geduldig flor the men, whereby the case was taken to the Supreme court on reservation. the understanding being that if the law under which they were arrested was found constitutional, the men would appear before the next term of court to be sentenced.
 Geduldig claimed the law unconsti- tutional upon three separate points, but the decision handed down today upho1ds the law and the men will have to appear for sentence.
 The first point raised by the de- fense was that the law gave insuff1- cient information.
 The second objection was that the act penaIizes expression for it's char acter regardless of relation or harm full consequence.
 The third objection was that be- cause the statute is uncertain and 6, g and 16 of Article I of the Con, stitution of Connecticut; and Section g.

SAYS RAIL MEN
OWE LOYALTY
Hooper Declares Employees
Must Maintain
Traffic.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3-Railroad workers
have been granted special privileges by
the transportation Act and 1t is their
duty and responsibility to maintain IN
interrupted traffice on thu railroads,
Ben W. Hopper. vica-chsirlnan of the
United States Rallr1aI Labor Board de-
clared In an address before the Chicago
Traffic Club here today.
while the government drought the
Transportation Act has conferred upon
the carrier immense power and privileges,
1t has at the same time bestowed upon
the employees TIE highest dignity and
power ever conferred upon labor Ia any
land" Hooper asserted.
Upon the theory that the railroads
are public utilities, enjoying under their
franchise a practical monopoly, the right
Of eminent domain and other great pow
ers, the government has assumed the
right to regulate the carriers.
Does not the worker share with the
railway executive the great responsibility
of public service?" he asked.
Hooper also attacked the proposal that
the Interstate Commerce Commission fix
wages as unsound He said the idea of
transferring the functions of the Rail-
road Labor Board to the commission
would be q most glaring fallacy."
The fixing of wages cannot be made
to depend upon freight rates." he de-
clared.
