PENDING PARLEY
Delegates of Workers to Dis

Friday Morning.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, May 12.-The miners
strike will continue, according to Sec
retary A. J. Cook, until the matter
can be brought before a conference
of miners delegates on Friday.
THE miners leaders have never
deviated from their position" he told
the Associated Press.
Herbert Smith, president of the
miners federation, said no statement
was possible regarding the situation
until the miners position had been
considered by the full executive of the
union. The executive was in session
this afternoon.
Secretary Cook sent the following
telegram to all the mining districts:
The miners must not resume work
pending decision of a national con-
ference convened for Friday next in
Kingsway Hall, London, at 10 am
Please send delegates"
Mr.. Cook this afternoon said:
1T is my intention and that of my
colleagues to report fully to the na-
tional conference and it will be for the
men to decide what action they will
take in light of the circumstances
after the report has been given. AS
far as we are concerned we still
maintain our previous position"

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, May IT,
Barred from the Arctic ice pack by
dense, binding fog, which has
hung over northern Alaska since
Saturday, Capt. George H. Wilkins
and his companions of the Detroit
Arctic expedition are awaiting anx-
iously break in the blanket of mist
to start the Detroiter, their giant
monoplane, northward.
The little radio set of the Barrow
base finally broke through the static
last night at II :35 (4:35 am. today,
Eastern standard time) to tell us
this and that Capt. Wilkins had re-
ceived news OF the start OF the
Norge from Spitzbergen.
Thus quite unintentionally on the
part of the participants the two ex-
petitions have developed a dramatic
race to find and claim whatever lands
may lie in the great unexplored area
north of Alaska.
Norway Versus L. S.
The Norge, bearing Capt. Roald
Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth, is
a Norwegian expedition. and Capt
Amundsen. it was officially announced
in Norway yesterday. VIII take pos
session of any land found in the name
of the King Of Norway.
The Detroit Arctic expedition is
American. although Capt. Wilkins is
an Australian, and Capt. Wilkins, if
land is found by him, Will claim It in
the name of the United States. With
Capt. Wilkins when he flies will be
Maj. Thomas G.. Lanphier of the
United States Army, an unofficial OBJ
server for the War Department.
The Detroiter has been fueled and
loaded for its fight since Saturday
afternoon. Upon this mornings
weather may depend the ownership
of lands of vital strategic Importance
to a transpolar short cuff between
continents.
If Capt. Wilkins finds suitable
weather conditions this morning he
should be 500 miles or more farther
North of Barrow by 10 am. g PIN.
Eastern standard time)
Capt. Amundsen, who has passed
over the North Pole on his way to
Alaska should reach approximately
the same position at that time. 1t is
quite possible that the two explorers
might meet under such conditions.
for both plan to follow the meridian
of 156 West longitude, and both will
have a lane of visibility, If tho wealth
er is fair, more than 100 miles wide.
This depends largely, however. upon
the weather the Norge meets as she
approaches Alaska.

TROOPS, IN REVOLT,
MARCH ON WARSAW
PiIsudski, Former President,
Is Heading Revolution.
Martial Law Declared.
Rv the Associated Press.


BERLIN, May 12.-It is reported
from Warsaw that Marshal Joseph
Pilsudski, former President of Poland,
is heading a revolution and is march
ing on Warsaw. The government has
declared marital law.
While there have been no previous
indications Of an imminent military
uprising in Poland, there has been
considerable political unrest, based on
the financial situation.
The ministry of Count Skryzinski
resigned May 9 on question OF
financial policy. After several fruit
less attempts, former Premier Witos
finally succeeded on Monday of this
week in constituting cabinet retain
ing most of the preceding ministers.
Speial dispatches from Warsaw to
the New York Times early this month
said the cabinet situation was linked
with one very considerable problem
the question whether and how Mar
shall Pilsudski was to return to public
life.
Pilsudski, whom many Poles term
"the father of his country" is strongly
supported by the Socialist and Liberal
groups.

CURBONB BUSINESS
SCORED BY R|TCH|E
Tells United States c. of c.
That Government Should
Have HandS-0ff Policy.

Gov. Albert c. Ritchie of Maryland
told the United States Chamber of
Commerce, continuing it's annual con-
vention today, that the time had ar
rived to put more business into gov
ernment and more self-government
into business" The government, the
speaker asserted, should keep it's
hands off business $50 long as busi-
ness keeps it's hands off government
and engages in no practices which are
unfair or sitting to others.
THAT government governs best
which governs least, provided it gov
erns wisely" Gov. Richie de-
clared. Just as think that sound
government should recognize the right
and liberty of the individual to pursue
his own life in his own way, so long
as he does not interfere with like
rights of others, SO this human mech
anism we call business should be as
free as possible from governmental in
reference. so long as it does not
abuse this freedom.
Would Limit Interference.
Were to try to express the idea
7 have in mind in a single sentence,
It would be, put business in govern
ment to the full extent you can, but
take government out of business ex-
cept where the great heritage of
equality of opportunity necessitates
it's presence. | would like to
see the. time when business writes
charter Of American business freedom
to protect itself both from govern
ment and from some its own tempta-
tionS.
1.-THE public thinks of business as
one thing and government as another.
Let us remember that today the
nation is business, and that business
is the nation. You cannot injure
business without injuring the nation.
Business has the responsibility of
feeding. housing, clothing, transport
ing and supporting man. Business is
the only means of supplying him with
the things he must have to live.
Whatever else happens, business must
go on; society is dependent upon it.
while think business should be
as free and as embarrassed and un-
hampered by government as is posi-
BILE. recognize, as you must, that it
cannot be entirely free. Human
SelfishneSs Is too real to permit that
1t must always be an obligation of
government to keep open the door of
opportunity for all on equal terms
and prevent the abuse Of industrial
power. Unfortunately, neither states
men nor economists agree yet how to
do this.

Editorial Comment



(Uncle Dudley in Boston Globe)
A Morning Glory vine had wound
its way up a robust young apple
tree laden with rosy fruit. The
farmer began tearing it down and
pulling it up by the roots. Seeing
which, his guest exclaimed:
why spoil that pretty vince
do you realize" inquired the
farmer. what that pretty vine
would do if allowed to grove"
mo harm, surely"
None except that it would kill
the tree"
Organized society is forced. at
every step, to ask itself which 1t
would rather have: apples or morn
ing glories. 1t is a question easier
asked than answered. 1t happens to
confront not only New England bus
the United States.
This, be it understood. is no more
a discussion of apples than it is OF
wheat or any other commodity re-
quisite to sustain human life on
this desirable planet. 1t is merely
a reminder that, from the days
when history was first recorded In
cuneiform script on Babylonian
brick, down to epochs when farm
ers and other producers are told to
be good and they'll be happy, great
empires have gone with monotonous
regularity to wreck by the simple
and cheerful expedient of cultfvat-
ing the morning glory vine to the
extinction of the tree.
