V. O'Connor, chief of the In- ternational Longshoremen’'s union, had promised aid to Semator Harding, evidently was an inaccuracy, unless he was speaking personally. “O'Connor is well versed in the sen- timents of the federation regarding pledges of political support,” he re- marked, “and he is not clothed with any official authority to promise as- sistance in a political sense from the federation.” President Gompers also doubted that O'Connor had suggested prefer- ential help from the union in which he is a leader, The executive council of the feder- ation today was occupied With hear- ings from various trades or jurisdic- tional appeals, one coming from the metal polishers and the other from the jewelry workers. No decisions were ready to be announced.

TRUGE DELAY IS SERIOUS MATTER { May Cause Abandonment of Big Allied Conference London, armistice negotiations between FPoland and soviet Russia is viewed here as creating a difficult and anxious situa- tion likely to involve the abandonment of the proposed conference between representatives of the Allies, Poland, the Russian Bolsheviki and the Rus- sian border states for the settlement of the Polish question. Jondon newspapers take widely divergent views regarding the Bolshe- viki attitude in demanding negotia- tions for peace coincident with the arrangement of an armistice. Some declare the action of the soviet gov- ernment is perfectly justifiable and reasonable, while others indignantly denounce it as evidence of a deter- minafion to allow the Bolshevik armies to reach Warsaw and there dictate terms equivalent to a complete surrender of the Poles and the en- forcement upon them of a soviet form f govdrnment. In the latter quarters it is stated one of the soviet armistice conditions was that the Poles must disarm, give guarantees they would not receive military aid from the Allies and undertake mnot to ‘‘renew aggression against Russia.” The British government has issued no statement on the situation nor has it indicated in any way how it will act but the report is current it will suspend negotiations for the resump- tion of trade relations with soviet Russia. The cabinet held an urgent meeting vesterday and Premier Lloyd Georgze has further delayed his al- ready postponed vacation. In the meantime fighting continues and the Bolsheviki apparently are ad” vancing successfully. It is reportcd however, that the Poles may deliver a blow which may alter the present position Aug. 4.—Postponement of SchcnckiRéigr;: As Head of Rifle Team Aug. 4.—Special from the adjutant general's accept the resignation of Schenck as captain of the cf fle team which will represent Con ecticut in the nationl wmatches Camp Perry and appoint W.
