The men who melt mnny million dol

eay they receive only $4.50 n day.

militating the wage situation. At the

of this city, national, vico president for
this district, will introduce ti report set
ting forth the low standards of pay in
the Philadelphia Mint compared with
those iii Sun Francisco.
Known as "Parent Mint"
"The Philadelphia Mint," Mr. Kin
sell said today, "is known as the
'parent mint' of the country. Here Is
i manufactured much of the intricate ma
rhincry required In other mints. The
profits made on the coinage nt the .lo
cal mint, it V understood, during the
past fiscal were in excess o $10,-
OOO.UUU
"A profit of this vast sum justifies
au Increase to the mechanical workers."
In tho report Mr. Kinsell will intro
duce at the Kt. Louis convention ho
will ptiint out the srnlo of wages pnid
to mechanics at the Philadelphia Mint
is "perhaps one of the 'most aggravat
ing instances of inequality in wages paid
for like services. The variations run
from fifty cents to $2.00 per diem, and
when compared with wages paid foi
killed labor in private employ, the fig
ures are astounding.
"Conferences have been held with the
local Mipcriutcndnt of tho Mint." snys
Mr. KiiiM-ll. "The director of the Mint
has been on the; ground 'looking into the
situation' ; congressmen Interested have
been appealed to, and In each instance
promises of adjustment have followed,
only to ho ignored or delayed of ful
fillment. There is no evidence nt hand
which indicates that the grievances of
these employes admitted to be just
have been or will bet remedied.
Employes Are Ioyal
"The lojalty of these employes is re
freshing. The patience displayed by
tlicm is almost superhuman. They re
mained nt their posts during the wnr
vlici skilled labor -of this character
icnnmimlcd double and treble tlio wages
paid by the government. jPromiscs of
redress, often made nnd as often broken,
remain unfiulfillcd : nnd it is felt that
the national federation iu convention
assembled should express itself in ilo
liurertuin tones nit tin- Hiihloct."
.a lump appropriation of $-H(i,UWi was
voted for mehnnicai workers in thev
Philadelphia Mint by Congress and
made available .Inly 1.
"The npplicntiofl of these funds for

Nellie Grogau nnd the girls made a
break for the door, and reached a stair
way lending toward "the upper stories.
The thrci! other girls relented and enme
back, but Nellie mado her way to the
third floor, climbed out the window,
stood on the top sash, reached up, and
drew herself to tho roof.
This attracted quite a crowd, in
terested in the unusual proceeding.
When the patrol of the fifteenth and
Vino streets station nrrived, however,
tho excitement attracted men uloug the
Heading Railroad nearby and from ad
jacent factories. Soon the crowd swelled,
until the street was blocked with
people. Men leaned out of windows
nnd clambered to roofs while they cheer
ed the runaway.
Patrolman Sankey, driver of the pa
trol wagon, had an idea. He got an
exteiislou ladder, placed it against tlio
cornice and started to climb. The
golden-brown bond of tho girl peered
over ut him, nnd theli two strong hands
pushed the ladder over.

By tho Associated Press
Berlin, Aug. 10. A special dispatch
to the Lokal-Anzelged from Mnricn
werder says Aussian cavnlry patrols
which are advancing from Chorzele
(seventy miles north of Warsaw on the
Prussian frontier) and Przasnysz to the
west nnd southwest have crossed tho
Warsaw-Mlawa Railroad, cutting off
retreat of the Pollsli forces still operat
ing in the territory of Ostrolcnkn nnd
south of Osirov. "
To the north tho Soviets are a day's
march distant from Warsaw, according
to this disnatch. It adds that the
Rolshevlki have not yot entered the
Polish corridor, although they have
reached Napiecken, about seventy -five
miles north of Warsaw.
Paris, Aug. 10. The Russians have
captured the town of Clechnnow,
thirty-five miles northwest of Warsaw,
thus cutting tho Warsaw-Danzig rail
way, according to reports from the
French military mission to Warsaw re
ceived by the Foreign Office today.
The Soviet cavalry units arc re
ported greatly depicted, owing to the
exhaustion of both men and horses in
last week's hard riding.,
Warsaw, Aug. 10. (Ry A. P.)
Ciechqnow has been reached by Bolshe
vik detachments, which arc attempting
10 rencn tnc Warsaw -uanzig Katlroou,
according to an official statement issued
here last night. It is indicated that the
Soviet forces were driven bark following
their entry into Clechnnow.
No changes of significance In the rest
of the battle line northeast and east of
Warsaw are shown In tlio text of the
statement, which follows:
"Bolshevik detachments, continuing
their pressure toward tbo Danzig Rail
road, occupied Ciechanow for n short
time. Enst of Siedlco the Poles are re
grouping their forces. Between tho Bug
und Narcw rivers the situation Is in
nctive. "Polish detachments that rooccupiod
Rrcdy have, expelled the enemy from
Ifudziw iloff , enpturing n battery of can
non nnd machine guns. North of Brody
the enemy is actively prepnring nn nt
tack to tho westward. Between the
Stripa and Sereth rivers our forces
have defeated the Bolshcvikl. taking 400
prisoners, including n regimental staff,
and capturing machine guns."
Genernl Lesscniewski. Polish minis
ter of wnr, has resigned, and has been
succeeded by Genernl Solnoknwski, it
wns reported here today.
Preparation of a second note to the
Allies citing the efforts of Poland to
comply-i with the Russian Soviet gov
ernment's proposals relative to 0 peace
and armistice conference nt Minsk, has
been begun by the government. So far
there hnd been 110 acknowledgment from
Moscow of the communication sent to
thnt city relative to tho departure of the
Polish armistice commission.
London! Aug. 10. (By A. P.) En
try into Warsaw by Soviet troops this
week is expected by Bolshevik! sympa
thizers in this city, says tbo London
Times, quoting n correspondent who de
clares that immediately after Warsaw
is taken u Soviet government will be
established there.
The correspondent declares the Mos
cow government proposes to make Its
own terms with, a Soviet Poland, and
says it is not believed Premier Lcnlue
could stop the offensive, even if he de
sired, before the Bolshevik unities enter
the Polish capital, "as the soldiers have
been promised the privilege of looting
the city."
Members of tho Polish Government,
who, according to 11 report from Mos
cow yesterday, left the capital for
Knlisz, were reluctant to abandon the
city, says n dispatch to the Times,
Tile danger for tho Poles, the dis
patch intimates, lies largely iu a lack
of organization and the existence of
rivalries between the white nud red
guards for the defense of the city. The
volunteer regiments sent to the front
were ruised on a party basis, it is
charged, there being Socialist, Christian
and lubor regiments.
Leonid Krassln and M. Knmeneff,
heads of the Russian Bolshevik Trade
Commission iu this city, expect they
and their whole mission will bo nsked
to leave Engluud when the news of the
fall of Warsaw is received.
Tho Poles have repaired the direct
railroad from Warsaw to Danzig, which
runs by the way of Thorn, Bromberg
nnd Dlrsehnu, says tho London Times.
This rond is fully twice tho length of
tho direct one, but is well outffide the
urea of military operations, and by it
tlio Poles can keep in communication
with their Baltic port.
Johannlsberg, East Prussia, Aug. 10.
(B A. P.) A battle lusting two
dnya was fought before the Bolshevik!
were able to overcome Polish resistance
beforo Ostrolcnkn, according to n
Polish courirr who nrrived here yester

six caunon iu that city.
After the fall of Ostrolcnkn, the
Polish forces withdrew, and were pur
sued by Bolshevik cavalry-, and It Is re
ported there has been severe fighting

no Mich evidences of n smooth -running
organization hero as you see at Marion.
In Republican circles ru such slip has
occurred as the candidates making one
issue while the national chairman was
announcing another. And that brenk of
Chairman White's was symptomatic.
The speech of acceptance was a onc
nlan speech. It did not represent party
opinion; It represented Cox's opinion.
If Mr. White and Mr. Marsh. Mr. Mc
Mack and Moore and Senator Harrisan
and tho other lenders who nominated
Cox and who came here hoping to sec
the ghost of Wilson laid were not
consulted, neither were the Wilson
leaders.
It wns not a Wilson speech because
Cox has been listening to Wilson ad
visers. The Wilson men were conspic
uously absent from tlio notification
ceremonies. Only two of that clement,
Joseph Tumulty und Secretary Mere
dith, were in evidence. Had the candi
dnte been hnrkening fo the views of the
Wilsoninns. more of them would surely
have attended the notification.
Con Is No Meditative Buddha
It is not that Cox wrote tho speech
like a brooding Ruddhu npurt from the
rest of mankind, us Wilson himself
might have done it. He is readily ac
cessible. Probably there never was a
moro accessible presidential candidate.
He sees everybody.
He talks freely.
He told every one he saw what he in
tended to say in bis speech newspaper
correspondents, woman suffrage work
ers seeking his aid in inducing Ten
nessee to ratify the suffrage amend
ment, politicians and local business as
sociates. But the point is he told them
w hat he was going to say.
He did not ask them whnt he hliould
snv. And he told them quite inci
de'ntullv. He did not see fit to send for
Mr White or any of the Democratic
leaders mentioned above and tell them
what he was going to sny.
The comment from Dayton on Chnir
mnn White's Washington slip was that
the candidate would make the issues
nud the national chairmnn would nr
rnnge the campaign. Pnrt of a well
conducted campaign is publicity.
And itgulii, the Democratic publicity
man is Cox himself. There is as yet
no jjiioh organization for reaching the
newspapers of the country as the Re
publicans hnve. Cox is personally ac
cessible by telephone or nt his home
on nil publicity questions that arise,
which is the last thing one newspaper
man should complain of. It is fine and

receive $32.04 more.
Express Unions Noncommittal
Presidents of the express unions who

The. Soviet, he declared, was en v
titled to demand such guarantees as ,
would be exacted by any power

that kind. What was challengedMhe
said, was that "nothing justifies e

which goes to the extent of wiping;
