Berlin, May 7.—Reichstag lenders
admitted tonight that no progress has
been made in the direction of solving
the recent crisis. This announcement
was made after a. day crowded with
party conferences and discussion be-
tween the cabinet and the foreign re-
lations committee over the ultimatum
of the Allies on the reparations terms
The German People’s party and the
Democrats alone of the present coali-
tion bloc went on record as opposing
any new cabinet which would accept
the Allie’s ultimatum.
The clericals and the majority so-
cialists were delivered in their senti-
ments. Former chancellor Hermann
Mueller of the majority, Socialists
who with Dr. Johannes Bell, former
minister of transport, signed the Ver
sailles treaty, was opposed to yielding
to the Entente.
The deliberations today centered
wholy around financial indemnities
which were closely examined. The
terms of the ultimatum and the Upper
Silesian situation.
Candidates for the post of chancel-
lor and the various ministeries were
not discussed. President Havenstein
of the Reichbank and under secretary
Hirsch of the ministry of economics
were consulted by the foreign rela-
tions committee.

Beaumont. May 7.—Masked men to
the number of 8 or 10 tonight drove
an automobile up to the residence of
Dr. J. F. Paul, a local physician, ov-
erpowered him and took him to a re-
mote spot in the woods near the city,
applied tar and feathers and later
bringing him to the center of the bus-
l iness section where he was tossed
from an automobile into the midst of
a Saturday night shopping crowd.
Taken to the police station the doc-
tor refused to identify any or te
group assailing him, later going to
his home. It is understood that the
charge upon which his castigation
was predicted was malpractice and it
was asserted that a specific instance
was cited by his captors. This coull
not be confirmed or disapproved.
There was some temporary excitement
following the incident. Police offi-
cers seeking to find clue to the identi-
ty of the guilty parties were confront-
ed with the fact that apparently num-
bers on automobiles had been changed.
Two newspaper men were invited to
attend the affair but were so care-

Kresberg. Silesia, May 7.—
German Reichswhr officer! have
assumed control of the Kruez-
berg district, two thousand army
rifles having been issued and
gudtds thrown around the town
to defend it against threatened
attack by Poles who are camped
in front of Rosenberg. The Pol-
ish army is estimated at 5,000
with several scores of machine
guns.
The Inter-Allied officials are
helpless, the French troops hav-
ing been withdrawn two days ago
for service in Rybnick. The En-
tente’s repreneentatives are seven
French civilians, a British major
and an Italian civilian. Their po-
sition is not a pleasant one. The
towns people are highly excited
and angry with the French for
having withdrawn their troops at
a critical time.
The Germans have notified the
Inter-Allied commission that they
have no intention of attacking
Rosenberg, but would confine
themselves to defensive actions.
The Entente representatives have
appealed to the Poles. In ad-
vance they were told that sooner
or later the Poles would occupy
Kruezberg. probably Sunday at
the time the Allied officials were
negotiating for an exchange of
eighty German Police held by the
police in Rosenberg for 170 pris-
oners held by the Germains.
The Polish attitude incensed the
German leaders who notified the In-
ter- Allied commission that the Gel-
mans would hold no conversations
with the rebels and would not agree
to an exchange of prisoners, but if
the Poles carried out thei rthreats to
shoot German police the Germans
would be forced to reprisals against
the Polish prisoners.
The Germans received a shipment
of arms and ammunition from th:
Reichswehr depot at Breslau today,
sufficient to equip 4,000 men. The of-
ficers say however that probably not
more than 3,000 will be immediately,
armed, the remainder of the guns be-
ing issued when the Poles attack.
Men and boys with rifles, shotguns,
revolvers. knives and axes hold over
every village road between here and
Oppelen and submit strangers to a
minute examination. At Sazemburg
a group of apparently unarmed men
suddenly drew revolvers from their
pockets when a chaffeur failed to halt
promptly.
An automobile with French officers
passed through various towns where
the Germans were drilling armed with
a variety of weapons, but the car
which was flying the French flag was
not molested. Behind came a car with
a Reichswehr officer from Breslau,
wearing the protective organization
badge. He was frequently halted but
when his identity was learned he was
saluted and passed on Many former
German officers are in Kruezberg in
civilian clothes.

Chicago, May 7.—To adopt the
theory of the living wage as a
basis for the determining of rail-
road wages would be to accept an
untried theory of state socialism
or to counternance creation of a
super-privileged class, according
to Job G. Walber, summing up
the testimony of the carriers in
the wage reduction cases before
the railroad labor board today.
Mr. Walber, who represented the
Eastern roads, completed the
road's rebuttal and brought their
fight for lower wages to a con-
clusion in a lengthy statement in
which he attacked the whole theo-
ry of the living wage urged by
the employes and as the funda-
mental principal in the wage case.
The living wage accorded to the
railroad’s investigations, Mr.
Walber said, was not an amount
necessary to maintain an employe
and his family but represents a
standard of which certain persons
would like to live.
The theory of the wage is not
new, Mr. Walber continued. “We
do not intend to ignore it but we
firmly believe the American peo-
ple should know its real support
and the ultimate effects of such
Socialistic theory as that laid
down by the railroad employes.
“We do not believe the people of
this country are willing to accept as
fundamental and untried theory of
state socialism or to counternance
the creation of a super-priviledegeed
class composed of railroad employes.
We have no quarrel with the ambit-
ions or desires of any American citi-
zen to better himself. However the
establishment of an artificial mini-
mum wage would be as fatal as at-
tempting to stifle initiative, and in-
centive, removing hope of reward and
fear of failure.
“The railroads are anxious and will-
ing to pay employes a just and rea-
sonable wage for a just and reason-
able service. We are not ignoring
humanitiarian considerations, but on
the other hand we are up against
practical problems and Utopiaan
ideas, however pleasing to contem-
plate, will not satisfy the railroad men
nor anyone else on pay day."
No intimation was given as to when
a decision would be handed down but
it was said that the board would re-
quire at least a month to digest the
evidence before it.
