ation in Silesia was adopted to help Europe, but see In 1t an intention to enrich Poland at Germanys expense. Hence the rather extraordinary readiness to indorse the violent pro- tests which have been made against the decision. These protests, while accepting the political boundary as inevitable, reject the recommenda- tions for German-Polish industrial cooperation. This Is like a boy who would rather freeze than wear mend ed gloves. Statesmen should be above such childish ideas.
 Makes Decision BearnbIe.
 This recommendation of co-opera- tion is the only thing which makes the decision bearable for Germany If gone into whole-heartedly the be- ginning of a genuine European com monwealth may be made.
 But with the wirth government protesting because it had hoped for better results after it's sincere ef- forts to execute the peace treaty and with the Berlin election showing 8 strengthening of the nationalist flood Germany's politics again resemble the darkest days of Versailles, Spa and London.
 There is no importance to .he party affiliations of the men making up the new Wirth cabinet. This is the seventh republican government, and 1t can surpass its predecessors only if 1t looks forward instead of backward and ceases believing m sobs and tears. Protests and complaints are useless The treaty will never be revised through pity for Germany. That will happen only when It's harmfulness becomes evident to the victors To hasten this realization even more than the recent speeches of Briand, Churchill, Grey and Lloyd George. Germany must find a means of satisfying the European countries.

Decision Comes at End of Hearing of Charges of Con- Spiracy Between Opera
 tors and Union
By Associated Press

Indianapolis, Ind. October 2S.-Re- fusal to cease efforts to unionize the Williamson coal field of West Vir- ginia made late today In federal court here by President John L, Lewis. of the United Mine Workers of America, was followed by a state ment from Judge A. B. Anderson that on Monday he would issue an in- junction to accomplish that purpose.
 No statement was made by the judge Is to the exact scope of the order, but the decision to issue it came at the end of hearing for 8 temporary order on the ground that the union and operators in organized coal fields are engaged in an unlaw- full conspiracy to check interstate competition in the coal market from the non-union West Virginia field. centering around Mingo county, the storm center of a strike for more than a year.
 In a plain statement of his views on the evidence presented Judge An derson declared his belief that com bination to restrain trade In violation of the Sherman anti-trust act had been established by the complainant the Borderland Coal corporation. He also interpreted the evidence as showing the check-off system by which operators collect union dues by withholding the money from miners wages, was unlawful, and that the unions effort to organize the West Virginia field was an effort to monopolize the coal industry of the country.
 In making this statement, Judge Anderson said he would keen his mind open for possible change of his views after hearing further evidence at final trial of the case, and he expressed the intention to defer is- suance of any order until final hear ing. Meanwhile, however, he said ef- forts to unionize the West Virginia field should be stopped and he called for decision by MT. Lewis on this question.
 Twice he called on Mir. Lewis, and after conferences with counsel Mir. Lewis declared, 'I decline to sur render" This statement came from MT. Lewis after he had started to say, sWe have a Constitutional right to organize" and had been interrupt ed by Judge Anderson calling for his decision.
 While MT. Lewis and his counsel were conferring over the decision. attorneys for Indiana coal operators sought to learn from Judge Anderson whether they should discontinue the check off" and the court answered. T say, you continue it at your own peril" The operators attorneys said they feared a strike if they stopped the check off"

ALEXANDER GOES
 ID CLAIM GROWN
Alexander of Jugo-SIavia Leaves Paris HurriedIy With
 Prime Minister
By Associated Press

Paris, October 2g-King AlexandsP of Juso -slavia, travelling incognito. left Paris today for Belgrade, the Jugo-slav capital He was accom- panied by Nilokai'Pachitch the pre- mier and minister of foreign affairs.
 The King and his prime minister have been in conference daily for the last week at eVrsailles, where the young monarch has been stopping. Today the premier spent the morn Ing with the King and finally gained his agreement to return to Jugo- Slavia after an absence of several months, during which period occurred the death of King Peter ana Ine proc lamation of Alexander. who had been prince regent, as his successor to the throne.
 Premier Pachitch telephoned to Paris at noon that the King was about to return, and that the baggage of his eutouraBe should be prepared for It's departure. The news was Jo unexpected, however, thA, most of the household and the secretaries found themselves unable to leave this evening. They will later follow the King and premier, who left for Bel grade at $40 o'clock this afternoon. Just before leaving, Alexander shook hands with few of his friends who were in on the secret of his de- parture. to whom he remarked:
 'I am very happy to go back to my people"
 In addition to Premier Pachitch, he was accompanied by M. Jankovitch, Jugo-slav minister of communica- tlons.
 King Alexander went to Paris from Belgrade early in July Shortly be- fore that time an attempt had been made to assassinate the then prince regent by means of a bomb. but the reports stated he was not injured At the time of King Peters death in Au- gust Alexander was said to be seri- ously i'll In Paris from appendicitis. During his Illness he proclaimed his accession to the throne of Jugo-Sla- via, and on several occasions 1t was reported he was about to return 10 Belgrade for the coronation, but each time the trip was postponed Alexan- dcr's physical condition being given as the reason.
 Quite recently 1t was reported from Agram that King Alexander in real fly was suffering from a wound in the stomach received from a bullet or q fragment of bomb which ex- ploded during the attempt made on his life in Belgrade in June, but the reports were not confirmed
 A Belgrade message October 27 said the King would arrive in that city october 30. Arrangements for his coronation. it was added, probably would follow his arrival.

 Six governments (rather many for 30 months) have made the same mis- take. They have imagined they would weaken and discredit the ereaty of Versailles by exclaiming at every step in it's execution, This is the end.'
 Karl Gets More Attention
 As consequence of this constant complaining coupled with the re peated death announcements, Ger 1nany's severest blow, the loss of the Silesian industrial district has re- ceived less attention than Karl s journey to his air castle and other passing incidents.
 Yet the fate of one of the two most wonderfully organized industrial areas in Europe is a thousand times more important than the question as to whether Admiral Horthy or the amiable husband of the ambitious and bold Queen Zita, of Bourbon- Parma. should inhabit the Budapest palace for few hours or a few days or a few months.
 If a continent whose relatively richest states must beg in Washing ton for a cancellation or a morator~ ium of their debts, were really so stupid to take from a proficient ad- ministrator such resources as coal, iron, zinc and lead, and give them to a nation which everywhere has inpffifient. at would deserve the worst of fates and ought to be punished like perverse child
 But this is not what the leagues decision means. Otherwise, neither the prudent Ishii, nor the statesman like Balfour would publicly praise the justice of that decision. The league in short. has realized Poland's administrative incapacity as already demonstrated in Posen, West Prussia and the former Russian industrial provinces. Consequently an attempt at joint economic control of Upper Silesla has been made. To prevent asundering vital nerves and veins, while at the same time doing justice to the 40 per cent Polish inhabitants. an economic commonwealth has been decreed for 100 years without cus- toms, without boundaries.
 Doubts Polish Ability
 The success of this undertaking is doubtful if Poland rules politically over the chief cities, pits, foundries and factories No honest friend of Poland can deny that the districts under her rule since 1919 are ruined and dirty and have gone centuries backward Even the Polish inhabi- tants Of those districts yearn for a return to German administratiye or der It was this yearning which in- duced the league council to ~iHtroddce the idea of an economic common wealth in Silesia.
