the frontier.

By the Associated Press.

Kattowitz, Upper Silesia. Aug 17..

Cooperation in the Interest of their"common motherland" was pledged In an

agreement signed here to-day by repre¬sentative German industrial and politi¬cal leaders and the agreement was|reached at the end or a secret confer-ence. lasting twelve hours,

Belief is expressed that the confer-1ence may result in a joint appeal byGermans and Poles to the League ofXations for a prompt settlement of theSllestan question. It is also stated thatif such a request is made the petitionersprobably will ask for an undivided Sile-sia. all for Poland or all for Germany.

Both the Interallied Commission inSilesia and the Berlin Government are

said to have known that to-day's con¬

ference wa3 contemplated, but no at¬

tempt at interference was made. Im-mediately after the meeting JohannesI.ukachek, one of the most powerfulGerman leaders in Silesia, went to Op-peln, where he reported to Gen. Hennl-ker, the British commander, at a spe-daily arranged meeting.Four signers of the agreement are

members of the German Belchstag.Among the Poles was Attorney Wolny,right hand man of Adelbert Korfanty,

.chief Polish leader in the recent insurrec-tlon. Daniel Keszycki. polish Consul-General at Oppeln, declared that thePolish conferees were the most intluen-tial citizens of their nationality inSilesia."What they do will be respected by

the population," said the Consul, "but Ifrankly doubt that any good will comeof it for us. We are down, and none

can say whether we shall get up again.I have not much faith In the Leagueof Xations and cannot see the use ofmaking an appeal to it."While some officials say they believe

another attempt to take control of theplebiscite zone will be made by a revoltof Polish soldiers from an allegedheavy force Just across the border inPoland, Polish sources stoutly deny thatthere is the slightest danger. Mean¬while work in mines, factories and onrailways is proceeding normally exceptin isolated instances In the Pless andRybnik districts.

By the Associated Press.Paris, Aug. 17..The sessions of

the League of Xations Council for theconsideration of the Upper Silesianquestion have been tentatively set forAugust 27 by Viscount Ishli. presidentof the council. Geneva will be the seatof the sessions.

The Council of Ambassadors, withAmbassador Hcrrtck present, to-day de¬cided not to recognize the CommunistRepublic which has been formed in

Baranya (Hungary) under Jugo-Elavprotection and of which Count MichaelKarolyl. one time Hungarian Prime Min¬ister. is President. The decision was nottaken because the new State Is Commu¬nist. but to force botli Hungary andJugo-Slavia to conform to the frontierslaid down In the treaties. The councilwill demand that the Serbs not only d nythe implied protection to Baranva. butalso that they withdraw their troopswhich have been occupying that countrysince the. armistice. If the Jugo-SIovsrefuse the situation may heroine dan¬gerous. as similar frontier disnuUs theyhave had with Albania are regarded bythe Hungarians as proving Jngo-Slnv'cImperialist designs.

ERIE ROAD DEFENDSTRANSFER OF SHOPS

(No More Changes to Private

Corporations Planned, SaysHead of Line.

The Erie Railroad is not now con-

templating the placement of all Its re-jpair shops under the management ofprivate corporations, as has been doneat Hornell, N. Y., and Marlon, Ohio,said a statement issued yesterday byF. D. Underwood, president of the com¬

pany. Since the transference of theMarlon shops to the Railway ServiceCompany last Saturday placed the shopworkers out of the ecopo of the trans¬portation act and the United StatesRailroad Labor Board 600 workers haverefused to report for work.The statement defended the position

of the railroad in demanding a physicalexamination of the shop men and theabolition of time and a half pay forholiday and Sunday work. It went on

to say: "At Marion an association ofbusiness men voluntarily offered toundertake the work at that point, andtheir assistance was gladly accepted bythe Erie Railroad. The railroad Is notacting in concert with any one as to thecarrying out of its local affairs."

Mr. Underwood said that when theErie, following the relinquishment ofFederal control of railroads, reeetab-lished rules requiring examination ofcertain classes of employees. Includingits shopmen, to stand physical examina-lion, flfty-nlne men of a total of 3,125were rejected for physical reasons. Atthe same time rules were restored re-

quiring some classes of workers whennecessary to work Sundays and holidayswithout overtime pay.He said the employees who refused to

work under the foregoing rules consistedmostly of men who have entered theservice of the Erie since January 1, 1918.

DEMOCRATS PLEDGEFIGHT ON TAX BILL

Members of House in CaucusjDeclare Measure Subversive

to American Principle.

Washington, Aug. 17..DemocraUcmembers of the House at a caucus to-night pledged themselves to vote againstthe Republican tax revision bill andadopted a resolution declaring that themeasure was "subversive of the prin-ciple that should govern taxation for!the support of this Government."The decision was reached at the

fourth meeting which had been heldrlnee yesterday in an effort to chart a

course for the minority. The caucus alsoinstructed the Democratic members of!the Ways and Means Committee to offera motion to recommit the bill immedi¬ately before the final vote, scheduledfor 3 P. M. Saturday.The resolution charges that the bill

"relieves profiteers and taxpayers oflarge incomes from their just share ofthe load of taxation and leaves an un-1fair portion of the burden to be borneby the people of moderate means."

"It violates," the resolution continued,"the promiso of all parties to reformand revise the system of taxation so

that all citizens und corporations shahbear a just portion of the tax load."The Republican defence of and the

Democratic assault on the n<«v tax billgot under way to-day In the House ofRepresentatives. Discussion, however,was not confined to the bill itself,ranging all the way from the numberof cooks President Wilson took to Paristo the question of social justice.Chairman Fordney of the Ways and

Means Committee, in charge of themeasure, opened the four hours debateafter the HoUM had adopted, on a strictparty vote, 32! to 115, a rule providingfor a final vote at 3 P. M. Saturday.Most of his speech of an hour, as he saidIn closing, was "a little about the billand a whole lot about the Democraticparty."

Reviewing what he described as ex¬

travagances under the last Administra¬tion Mr. Fordney charged that Presi¬dent Wilson had taken over the rail¬roads "for political purposes only" andhad placed in charge of them "his son-

in-law, McAdoo, whom he was groomingfor the Presidency."Asked from the Democratic side why

he had voted for the bill authorizingFederal control of the carriers thospeaker said :

"I voted to put the President In a holeand we did it."

Rater, Mr. Fordney said lie had madehis statement about taking over therailroads jokingly, but his declarationwas greeted with jeers from the Demo¬crats.

Turning to the bill itself, tlic chairmandiscussed briefly the changes in taxlevies proposed and declared the com¬mittee had made an honest effort to re¬

duce taxes and believed it hud given tothe House "as equitable a measure as

was possible under the circumstances."Mr. Fordney was given a demonstra¬

tion by his Republican colleagues andsome Democrats, who stood and ap¬plauded him for several minutes.

FEARS FOR BRITISHBUDGET NEXT YEAR

Chancellor of the Exchequer. stated in

the House of Commons to-<lay that there

were serious deficiencies In the revenue

receipts for th first four and one-halfmonths of the current financial year, as

compared with the budget estimate^These resulted, be said, from the sale of

surplus war stores and materials, whichbrought rrueh less than was anticipated.and from loss of revenue in excess profitsduties, unavoidable in the present stateof trade.These deficiencies would not wipe out

A very substantial amountwould be realized from Great Britain'sshare of the German reparations fundto help out revenues for the currentyear.

Possible prolongation of the session ofParliament was seen in the passageagainst the Government of two amend-inents to the safeguarding of industriesbill In the House of Lords to-night. Oneof these amendments limits the opera¬tion of the measure, which imposes pro¬tective customs duties on certain ar¬

ticles and authorizes the Board of Tradeto include any other article on which a

protective duty is deemed necessary, totwo years instead of five. The otheramendment excludes agricultural imple¬ments from the operation of the bill.
