May Likely Crucial Time,
Philadelphia Trade View
by FRANK ID. McLAIN,

Special Dispatch to The Star
PHILADELPHIA, April 20.-May il
l!kely TO prove the crucial month Il,
TINS district and business .nairs in
the area are shaping with that idea
in view A leading department store
mas given notice of a large reduction
OF It's force to take effect the first of
the coming month and others are
likely to follow suit, with a purpose
or curtailing expenses through the
summer months. Railroads. having
their general Offices here, also are
gradually reducing their office pay
rolls TO bring about economy in oper-
! alton. which is made necessary by
falling off in gross revenues.
While Irving costs are estimated
one year ago, recent declines are
almost nominal. which fact is en-
phasized by the organized trades in
support of their efforts to retain the
high wage schedules now in opera
tlon. Bricklayers, who are we'll or
ganized. have taken the position
that they are ready to increase pro-
duction per man, but will not yield
as to wages demanded.
Lay More Brick Per Day.
A large employer states that there
is great improvement in efficiency
In this particular trade. as workmen
who in recent years would lay 1000
or less bricks per day are now lay.
ing 1000.
Employing painters, decorators
and paperhangers have announced a
cut OF 20 cents per hour effective
May l, making the pay 80 cents per
hour, and the organized workers
have declared that they will strike
unless they obtain the customary 81
per hour.
Other workers in the building trades
are quite as firm, making it very
probable that contractors on May !
will declare for the open shop and en-
deavor to obtain workers at prices
they are willing to pay regardless of
union rules.
Favorable Trade Reports.
One large distributing house rep
resenting southern cotton mills is re-
ceiving favorable reports from Its
statesmen. who are travelling not only
in Pennsylvania. New Jersey and
Delaware. but in the west, the demand
from retail merchants for the fall
trade being especially good.

pected a substantial reduction April

Enraged by reports that the allies
plebiscite commission had recommend
ed that only the Rybnik and Pless re-
Sions in Upper Silesia be awarded to
Poland and that the rest of the terri
tory be given to Germany, some 10000
Poles, well organized and armed, in
vaded Upper Silesia, seized a number
of important cities, cut the communi-
cations with Germany and at latest
reports were advancing on Oppeln,
north of the Oder river. The French,
British and Italian control officers and
their small bodies of troops were I'M
able TO cope with the situation and
the whole region was overrun, the
peasants there siding with the Polish
invaders. AT Gross Strehlitz Italian
forces commanded by Colonel Bond,
sought to occupy the city and an artil-
lery engagement ensued.
The German government, of course,
formally protested against this action
of the Poles to the allied governments,
and the latter took immediate steps to
regain control of the situation. declar-
ing martial law in the plebiscite zone
and sending troops against the in
vaders. 1t was admitted that it would
be hard to GUST the Poles, and the al
legged fact that their course was tacitly
approved by the French authorities
there created considerable Ill feeling
between the British and the French.
Premier BRAND however, asked Prince
Sapieha, Polish foreign minister, now
In Paris, TO transmit to the Polish gov
a request to end the disturb
lnces in Upper Silesia. When the al
lied supreme council adjourned its
London session it was said it would
soon meet again in Ostend to take up
he Upper Silesia question.

Now that the senate has adopted the
Knox peace resolution, it is up to some
one to devise our further procedure in
the matter of restoring our relations
with Germany. In the final debate on
the resolution Senator Lodge admitted
the Versailles treaty could not be so
amended as TO meet the requirements
of the United States, as President
Harding hoped, and that new treaty
must be negotiated. This, of course,
Is pleasing to the "irreconcilables,
who now believe the Versailles pact
never will be resubmitted to the sem
ate. And, as has been said before In
this review, 1t is difficult to see how
that treaty can be separated from the
League of Nations covenant. The sit
uation Is not satisfactory to the ma
jority Of Americans, nor to our associ-
ates in the war. German officialdom

Knox resolution, though there is no
hope there Of an early resumption Of

In the Republican presidential pref

DINA went for Hiram Johnson. In the
Republican national convention Dele
gate David III. Blair refused to abide
by those instructions and voted for
Warren G. Harding. A few days ago
President Harding nominated Mr..
Blair for the important Office Of COM
missioner of internal revenue and the
nomination came before the senate in
executive session. There was a stormy
debate, the opposition being led by
Senator Johnson, who told of Blair's
action In the convention and asserted
that "a man who will violate his own
states laws is unfit to administer the
nations laws" A second objection
made by Johnson was connected with
tax returns. He said: "Mr. Blair's IA
ther-in-law Is one Of the richest men in
North Carolina and he sought. by
forming a partnership with his family,
to lessen the amount of his income
tax" The nomination was referred
back to the senate finance committee,
which, on Saturday, began thorough
investigation of Johnson's charges.
