ITALIANS AND POLES
 FRIGHT IN UPPER sILEsIA

Oppeln, Upper Silesia, May 6.-(By The A. P)-Fighting between the Italians and the Poles at Rybnik, P1ess and Gross Strehiitz continued today, with the situation at Rybnik increasingly menactng to the allied forces, according to reports received this afternoon by the inter-allied commission.
 The Italians are known to have lost thirty men killed and seventy wounded and in French quarters it is estimated that the allied casuaitiesi since the up- rising began have been seventy killed and an unknown number wounded.
 The Poles today resumed their artii- lery attack on Gross Strehlitz and twice advanced into the city, but were thrown back by the Italians Elsewhere the Poles are reported to have Consolidated their positions
 The French authorities heard rumor today that 150 German (green) police had crossed the frontier. The report was discredited. Germans have occuied Oberglogau, which the allies evacuated yesterday.
 The inter-al1ied commission today re ceived a dispatch from London saying that the supreme council had postponed making public the decisions of the plebi- sctte officials, hoping that this would tend to sllay the Polish activities when 1t became general known.

BELIEVE GERMANY WILL
 AGREE TO ALLIED TERMS

Dusseldorf, May s.-(By The A. Pt Preparations for the occupation of the Rhur are proceeding, although the gen era! impression here is that Germany will agree to the allied terms at the eleventh hour. Two full divisions of cavalry are now at Dusseldorf under General Hen noocque, who is in immediate command of operations. He is organizing to effect occupation, if necessary, between sun rise and sunset of May 13. first covering the heart of the industrial region with mounted forces and gradually repia ctne them with infantry.
 General Hennocque said today that he did not expect trouble but was pre- pared for anything. His operations are being planned with view to meeting a partial cessation of work Although no general strike is anticipated, it ie es- tlmated that from twenty to thirty per cent. of the German workmen in some industries may strike if the occupation takes place. The French, however, are ready to replace the unwilling workers to move out and undesirables. Negotia- tions are going on for Polish laborere ts Ill gaps at the mines.

Cloudy For Dawn of
 Peace in Ireland
Craig Says Ulster Will Never Participate in an Irish Re public.

Belfast, May s.-(By The A. P1-It has been learned from a high authori- ty that Sir James Craig in his conver- sation with Eamonn De Valera gave De Valera to understand in unnaistakab ble terms that under no circumstances would Ulster ever entertain the idea of as. senting to or participating in an Irish republic.
 The language of Sir James on this point, it was declared, was as deci- sive and emphatic as anyt1ing Premier Lloyd George has said on the same sub Ject. and hence no progress was pos- sible either with the premier or the peo- pie of Ulster along the lines of the Sim Meiner's present policy.
 It was added that it might definitely be stated that the negotiations are. at an end unless the Sim Fein makes a new move on different lineto that adopted at yesterdays conference.

ences between representatives of the Sea- mems union and ecretaryS Davis. who IS attempting 10 reach a settlement of the wage dispute involving American shipping. were deferred today until Mon- day to give union leaders an opportunity to report 10 their organizations the terms Of the proposed agreement as 1t hss been evolved in the conferences
 The terms. it is understood. provide for continuation of the eight hour day and the three shifts a day. which k is said has been s point of contention. to- gether with proposed reduction of wsg- es. which government officials declare is is not drastic.
 The union representatives have refus- cd to sign any agreement which provides solely for reduction in wages but have made no statement as to whether they would urge the workers to accept a re- ductton to preserve the eight-hour day.
 On the other hand Chairman Benson of the shipping board declared ia tele- grams sent late today to operators of shipping board vessies in all ports that the board was standing fast in its re- fussl to discuss a compromise on the wage scales. He added. however. in 2 statement that tn emen had been invite6 to discuss wage and working conditions al any time.

ARGUMENTS BEFORE. THE
 RAILROAD LABOR BOARD

Chicago, May s.-Labor's charges of financial mismanagement by railroad arrangements were declared irrevelant visionary and fallacious today when rep resentatives of eastern roads began their closing arguments before the raiiroaad labor board in the wage reduction hear ing of neaarly 100 roads
 The exhibits by W. Jett Lauck in be- half of the railway unions came under fire from E. H. Senneff, counsel for the Pennsylvania, John c. Walker, speaking for all eastern roads, c. L. Bardo, in behalf of the New England roads, and Jacob Aronson, counsel for the New York Central.
 Charges of past financial misn1anage- ment was water over the Gam," MT Senneff said, adding that the interstate commerce commission now controlled all financial transactions. MT. Walker said that from Ueading Ngr Laucks ex- hibits, one might get the impression that American railroads are antiquated and inefficiently managed" He denied such presumptions, he said.
 Regarding the consolidation of the New York Central and the Hudson River railroad in 1888. Mir. Aronson said the supreme court justified the scrip stock issue which the unions charged wae used to infate the capital stock,
 The consolidation of 1914 i1 which the Lake ShSre and Michigan Centra! were brought under New York Central contro showed extreme conservatism he continued.
 The bold conclusions or the fnancia performance of railroads Ac continued 1 appear to be predicated 10 7. larger ex. 1 tent upon the novel assuroD5ion that UT distributed surplus ioes not constitute 1 capital. The fact that this theory is at variance with the genesis of state and l federal laws, as refiec- ed in tax statues 1 the theories of the inte:.;Iate comnerc' commission and the coI-rs generally, il. | dicates it's revolutionary character"

 After saying that the English text of the allied protocol had reached Thurs day evening, the chancellor added:
 The cabinet will prepare most care fully all the material and data on which a decision will be the task for the new cabinet"
 The chancellor then referred to the disorders in Upper Silesia.
 A statement by him that the German government was prepared to dispatcs Relchswehr into the Upper Silesian re- volt area if the allies were unable to cope with the situation there, brought the communists and independent social ists to their feet in desperate endeavo1 to debate the issue.
 President Loebe of the chamber, how. ever. succeeded in dismissing the house just as a communist rushed up to the speakers stand to move discussion, the needed votes for which were available among the radical parties.
 Otherwise the chsncellor's statement of the governments procedure in the Up per Silesian situation provoked express sions of approval. He charged the al lies with disregarding Germany's repeat ed warnings, which he said were based on Polish machinations onenly carried out along the frontier and purpose O which was obvious. The cIancellor al so claimed the government was in pos session of evidence showing that regular Polish army officers were assistint Adal bert Korfanty, head of the movement il Upper Silesia.
