P.).—In the face of increasing clashes between the insurgents and Germans, the Polish gov- ernment has decided upon a vigorous plan of action in an attempt to settle the \surrection initiated by Adelbert Kor- fanty, the former plebiscite commissioner in Upper sia, with the object of join- ing the industrial section of Upper Silesia to Poland. The government, according to diplom#t- ic circles, is contemplating framinz an apeal to the Silesians to drop their arms and return to work and permit the allied authorities to settle the dispute, without further interference, in’ accordance with the treaty of Versailles. One of the problems Poland is com- pelled to face is the repeated efforts,of Poles to go to ghe assistance of the in- surgents. Desplfiches received today re- port that 20000 armed workmen from the Dombrowa-Sosnewice mining district in East Jesia have attempted to cross the frontier to assist thé nsurgents, but all were turned back by, the Polisi au- thorities. Pitched, encounters between the insur- gents and the Germans have occurred at various points in the Rybnik district, where, according to Polish reports, more than 150 Poles have been killed and many wounded, while the German casuaities Wwere even heavier. In a protracted fight for possession of Friedrichshutte, an im- nortant foundry center, more than thirty- Poles were killed, the German casualties being unknown. There is a noticeable increase in the press and public speeches of the feeling against Italian interference between the insurgents and the Germans.

The board has not singled out only seamen for reduction, he said, but cuts have been asked in the wagé scales in shipyards and = repair yards, which, in most instances, have been agreed to. “Review of developments of the regret- table 'marine labor controversy which now confronts this country,” said Admiral Benson, “should convince all unbiased men that the course pursued by the shipping board is a sound and fair one; that the existing economic conditions fully justify the readjustment of wage scales and working conditions ‘%bn the basis an- nounced by the board. . “It would indeed by unfortunate if the personnel of the merchant marine persists in refusing to do their sharein the labor| liquidation of the marine industry while benefited by the labor liquidation in other industrial fields.” He promised that full protection, both now and after the controversy is settled, would be given by teh shipping board to all those who come to its assistance in keeping the ships in operation.
