British Set To Toss
Polish Knot To Stain
CONTINUED from Page One)


did not share that fear and was
hopeful that it could persuade the
LatIn-Americans to accept the
United States confidence.
However, the Polish question
continued to hold to billing. The
British always felt that the con-
ference here was no place to seek
settlement Of this question. They
acceded to its consideration only
when the Russians themselves de-
manded that it be taken up.
When Stettinius and Eden re-
vealed yesterday that Foreign
Commissar V. M. Molotov had ad-
vised them that the Is Poles had
been arrested by the Russians for
"diversionist activities" against
the Red army, they said that they
had asked Molotov for the list of
the arrested Poles and "a full ex-
planation'' of the affair.
Even if a reply is made, the
British said, there is little or no
prospect of solving the Polish is
sue here. 1t will have to 60 to the
"Stalin level for settlement.
Meanwhile, the Polish American
congress charged that the Soviet
government is "a totalitarian die
tatorship" which uses the same
methods as Hitler used against
these same heroic people" Mob
TOW, the Polish Americans said,
''is trying to excuse this new
crime by unjustly accusing these
defenseless victims"
Conference officials who should
know said that when Molotov final
ly gave Stettinius and Eden his
announcement of the arrest of the
Is Poles, the Russian Commissar
was thoroughly embarrassed.
Despite the knotty problems,
work of the conference continued
The % amendments to the Dunn
barton Oaks charger which the
United States, Britain, Russia and
China have presented to the con-
ference asecretariat will be sent to
the steering committee tomorrow
The committee then will allocate
them to the various committees for
processing before he CONFERENCE
for adoption.
Similarly, the identical amend,
ments on trusteeships and regional
arrangements which the United
States, Britain and China have
submitted, also will 60 to the
steering committee tomorrow. The
Russians, who asked for "a hours
in which to study these amend
ments, have not yet made known
whether they will support the Big
Three on them.
Most conference delegates and
officials spent today resting after
a strenuous week. Many of them
visited in the country while others
rode through the Redwood forests
across San Francisco bay.

UNION TO DEMAND
 NLRB COMPLIANCE
American Brass Company Fails to Pay Back Wages
 as Directed

Local CIO officials are preparing brief, for presentation to the Ma tional Labor Relations Board, in reply to a request made by the American Brass Company, that the board reopen the case between the ABC and CIO involving an alleged $1,125,0 ,00O payment in back earn- ings for some 2,0O0 employees.
 John J. Driscoll, state CIO execu- tive secretary stated today he felt the union had lock-bound case in it's appeal to the board that the company be forced to make the payment to the employees. The unions brief must be filed by July
 The company has requested the re-opening of the case, and received its hearing in Washington this week. The company claims it does not have to pay the earnings, which are in the nature of a 'compensa- tory bonus because of the discon- tinuance of the work arrangements of seven days on, one day off.
 MI. 1IlSCOA sStdCcu tllc pOdIu lo violating its policy of accepting an appeal more than IA days after the directive was issued The latter was issued in March, 80 days before the company filed its appeal. The local union executive claimed that such action, by the board, was an incen- tive to strikes.
 He cited the recent "work-stop- page" effected by some 300 or more workers in the company's Torring- ton branch as result of the delay in bonus payments. The work -stoppage was unauthorized by the union and last but one day or less.
 The disagreements results from the outlawing of contracvt provi- sions by President Roosevelt in his executive order 9240. These provi- sions had pertained to payment of double time on Sundays and holi- days and time and a half on Satur- days.
 An appeal to the WLB regional board had earned the compensatory bonus for the employees, which di- rective was sustained by the NLRB.

Poles TriaI Farley

London, June 15 -tUP)- A spokesman for the London delega- ton to the Polish conference ir Moscow said today that Russia'S impending trial of 16 arrested Poles seriously imperils the success of the meeting.
 Representatives of the Polish ex- ile government in London, which was not invited to the conference. bluntly denounced the Soviet an- nouncement of the trial as "politi- cal blackmail typical of Russian power politics"
 Radio Moscow announced last night that Vice-Premier Jan Jan- kowski of the London government and Is other Polish underground leaders would be tried ''in the next few days" on charges of diversionist actions behind the Red Army lines. They were arrested in March.
 A spokesman for Stanislaw Mi kolajczyk, ex-premier of the Lon- don government, and the two other London Poles invited to the Moscow
 
 conference said the announcement was "a most unfavorable develop ment."
 Tt will create an extremely bad atmosphere for the conference" he said.
 The spokesman earlier had indi- cated that Mikolajczyk would ask for the release of the 16 Poles as a preliminary requirement. for suc- cessful discussions.
 Jan Stanczyk, Socialist leader and second of the delegates, said he was saddened by the Soviet an- nouncement, but still hoped for an agreement whereby Poland "can be independent and at the same time maintain a good neighbor policy with Russia"
