PRilCE FIVE CENTS UNION MEN PROTEST STA TE POLICE POWER; URGE THE DEFEA T OF ALL MILITAR Y BILLS; ANTI-SEDITION BILL IS DECLARED UNJUST GERMANY IS UNITED ON^EACE Will Protest Terms, But the People Are Sobered Against Return of Anarchy ABLE TO BEAR DEBT By J. W. T. Mason. Xhe German delegates who arrived at Versailles this w-eek to receive the I>ea£e treaty have left at home stable government and a sober people. The domestic turmoil of the past months In Uermany has given place lo vhat appears once more a united na¬ tion. The hush which has spread over thtt people could not have come more abruptly had it been Intentionally or¬ dered by the authorities in Berlin. There is good reason to believe the German government aircady knows the main outlines of thc peace terms. For this reason the air of Hubdued national Intensity Is not due to fear of the un- e.xpected. The tiermans know what to expect. Their sudden tension is pre¬ liminary to a part which the Berlin govemment is planning to play. The Germans will try to resist the eettlement flxed by the .Mlle.s. The aleit silence over Germany is the pre¬ liminary of the battle. The Germans e.\pect their representatives at Ver¬ sailles to save all tN.tt is possible from the wreck. The nation is therefore re¬ turning to the mental discipline of the milMarists. It is thus that Gennany makes ready to read the treat>- of peace. But. this s.iirit of resistance is not one that the Allies need fear. It is In fact an excellent nlgn. I.'nconsdously tho Gennans have given themselves away. Had thc delegates to Versailles left Berlin amid riotc and disorder, the Allies might have becA 't.ljBIIV Isftt anarchy break out tn Germany on the pubncatlon of the peace te'rms. But this Is not probable. Instend the Ger- matis are recovering their former sense of obedience. Upon this, the Allies can build. The Germans may protest and try- to hagt^lo over the peace st-ttlement. 1<ut with the.r disciplinary instincts coming back the Allies will be able to proceed with the full puni- 'iment, without danger of letting anarchy into ¦Western Fiirope.

Only the con¬ formance of Mayor Connell and the City Cotmcll to a wage award re¬ cently made to the force of stieet cleaners can avert the general labor disturbance, it is .said. Hurrying to Scranton in answ^er to a public appeal is Deputy Com¬ missioner of Labor Rogers, whose headquarters is in Harrisburg. He will endeavor to take the role of mediator at today's session ot the Central Labor Union and will ask authority -.o confer with Mayor Connell in an effort to have the disagreement properly adjusted. One of the oddest propositions ever put up to an employing agency is that -which has been presented In the demands sent to Mayor Connell. Some time ago thc force of street cleaners went out on strik© for a higher wage scale- After conaidenible opposition an Adjusting Committee -was called In and the decision was reached to afford a heightened compensa¬ tion to the cleaners. AVhat is demanded now is that back wages shall be paid to the former strikers, this extra compensation to repreeent an a-mount eqiial to that lost by the workers while they were on strike. It is argued that the award made the men prove they were right in their arguments and that, therefore, they should not be compelled to suffer the loss of wages caused by their idleness. If the back wages lost in tho strike are warded the Central Labor Union will not interfere. It is expected that today's meeting will be on© of Intense interest and every union body is watching It with keen anticipations. Sympathy strikes have often been threatened to reach from a small organization to those in which thousands of :nen are affiliated, but none ever materialized.

The delegates at the meeting, which speakers contradicted Powell's claim. was held in Union hall on East Mar¬ ket street, represented all thirteen locals of Fifth Legislative District and their attitude is said to be representa¬ tive of the feeling of all miners. Proof of this was given by the fact that Dis¬ trict Pre.sident Thomas Lowrey. head of al! the miners in Luzeme and Lackawanna counties, called the meet¬ ing and presided at it. His support Indicates that the miners are willing to go the limit to defeat the bills they oppose.

GERMANY IS UNITED ON^EACE
Will Protest Terms, But the People Are Sobered Against Return of Anarchy
ABLE TO BEAR DEBT
By J. W. T. Mason. Xhe German delegates who arrived at Versailles this w-eek to receive the
I>ea£e treaty have left at home stable government and a sober people.
The domestic turmoil of the past months In Uermany has given place lo vhat appears once more a united na¬ tion. The hush which has spread over thtt people could not have come more abruptly had it been Intentionally or¬ dered by the authorities in Berlin.
There is good reason to believe the German government aircady knows the main outlines of thc peace terms. For this reason the air of Hubdued national Intensity Is not due to fear of the un- e.xpected. The tiermans know what to expect. Their sudden tension is pre¬ liminary to a part which the Berlin govemment is planning to play.
The Germans will try to resist the eettlement flxed by the .Mlle.s. The aleit silence over Germany is the pre¬ liminary of the battle. The Germans e.\pect their representatives at Ver¬ sailles to save all tN.tt is possible from the wreck. The nation is therefore re¬ turning to the mental discipline of the milMarists. It is thus that Gennany makes ready to read the treat>- of peace.
But. this s.iirit of resistance is not one that the Allies need fear. It is In fact an excellent nlgn. I.'nconsdously tho Gennans have given themselves away. Had thc delegates to Versailles left Berlin amid riotc and disorder, the Allies might have becA 't.ljBIIV Isftt anarchy break out tn Germany on the pubncatlon of the peace te'rms. But this Is not probable. Instend the Ger- matis are recovering their former sense of obedience. Upon this, the Allies can build.
The Germans may protest and try- to hagt^lo over the peace st-ttlement. 1 |
