In tho meantime the call for help had, been picked up l>y the navy w ire less stations and by command of Sec retary Daniels destroyers were rushed to thb rescue from Philadelphia, .New port News and New York.

S. HELPED TO DEFEAT GENERAL BUDENNY Warsaw, Sept. 2. — Polish troops have entered tho city of Suwalki, 19 miles north of Augustowo, and have beeu given an enthusiastic welcome, acording to an official statement issued today. General Budenny, tho Russian Bolshe vik commander, who has been attem p t ing to break the Polish linos in Galicia, aud who has suffered w h at appears to be a decisive defeat, is rapidly r e tr e a t ing, it is said. B rilliant service by aviators, among whom are many Americans, is especi ally mentioned in the statement. General Budenny’s withdrawal is in a northeasterly direction, tho com m unique shows. I t followed his de feat in battles and was necessitated by the Polish advanco which th r e a t ened his remaining detachments w ith destruction. The Kosciusko squadron, the noted aorial force comprised largely of Americans, played a prominent p a r t hi the defeat of General Budenny. The official statement mentions “the splen did co-operation, ou tho southern front of tho flying eseadrille.” F u rther south the Russians several tim es attacked the town of Busk, east of Lemberg, but w ere repulsed. In tho north, adds the statement, the Poles are continuing to advance into Poland proper. , Joffe Heads Peace Delegation . Danishevsky had resigned as head of the Russian Bolshevik delegation to negotiate an arm istice agreement and a peace treaty w ith Poland, and has beeu replaced by Adolph Abram- owicz Joffe, former Soviet ambassador to Germany and chairm an of the R u s sian peace delegation a t Brest-Lito- vsk, according to Moscow advices re ceived here. M. Danishevsky resigned because the, Soviet government agreed to carry on further negotiations with Poland at Riga. , Prince Sapieha, Polish foreign m in ister, received ■ a '.wireless message from George.' Tcliltcherin, Bolshevik m inis te r of foreign affairs, stating th a t the ‘essential condition'as'to the Riga con ference was a guarantee of the im m u n ity of tho Russian' and Ukranian delegates, the right to free and unin terrupted communication in code by telegraph and wireless and by courier carrying'' diplomatic sealed pouches. Prince Sapieha has wired the Polish m inister at Riga to obtain the dem and ed guarantee frqm the Letvian govern m e n t and to communicate the result direct to tho Bolshevik m inister in th a t city. Scranton, Pa., Sept. 3.—Representa tives of the United Mine W orkers 'of America, who last night accepted and signed a new two year contract w ith the coal operators based, on tho aw a rd of the A n thracite Qoal Commission giving wage increases ranging from 17 to 25% per cent., met today to form u late a plan for asking for further in creases. The fu ll Scale Committee represent ing tho three anthracite districts m et to draw up a communication to be ad dressed cither to President Wilson or Secretary of Labor Wilson. Many ' collieries throughout the anthracito regions wero still idle to day d,ue to workers remaining aw ay from tho operations as a protest against the award. Tho agreem ent was signed under protest by the representatives of the miners, whoso Scale Committee w ill meet for the purpose of asking th a t the wage agreem ent be reopened and the mine w o rkers given such further In creases as was done in the case of the bitum inous coal digg&rs. Tho Scale Committee went on rec ord in a statem ent to the operators that tho award, of tho Commission was “far from being satisfactory,” th a t it was economically unsound, disturbed tho differentials, straddled live real issues, would cause confusion and re act agaiust harmony and efficiency. The m iners wero prepared to pre sent now demands at once, but it is understood tho operators let it be known tliey were there for one pur- 'pose and th a t was to accept the aw a rd as approved, by Presidgnt Wilson nnd that if the workers had anything further to communicate it would havo to go’ through^regular channels.’ 1 While the negotiations wore going on it was estim a ted that at least half of the 170,000 m ir* workers of all classes in the anthracite regions had quit work as a protest against tho award. Coal operators said they were in clined to believe union leaders were not averse to tho men failing to re port for w o rk and ln support of this belief .pointed o u t .t^at in places where the men are 100 per cent, organized and the union h a s complete control no effort has been made to keep the mon at work. ' It was said the operators were not unanimous to have their Scale .Com mittee sign the award in the face of the large suspension of mining, feel ing that some assurance should bo in evidence th a t th e men would return to work and abide by tho agreement. It was said the miners desire an additional increase of 15 per cen t for the contract'm lners nnd that the com pany men should receive a f u rther ad vance of $2 a - day. , Other- demands will also bo m ade, it: was. said, so as to bring conditions and wages in the anthracite field on a par with those in the bitum inous regions. Only 5 Mines Working. Hazleton, P a ., Sept. 3.—Only five anthracite coal mines in tho Hazleton district w are able to start today on account of “vacations” taken by the mon as a p r o test against tho wage award. ’ ' , Of tho five mines running only one has a fair tonnage. The output was 'cut yesterday to 20 per cent., accord ing to official figures given out by the .Lehigh'Valley Railroad today. labor has been organized. Co-opera tion within in d u s tr y and within labor, and, indeed, co-operative between the .two, is far advanoed. I*do not con- template the organization of the farip- ers and consum ers of this country as a step toward organization of special interests to o b tain special favors. If I did, I would oppose i t . But I know full well that w e must all of us con sumers net together to find our way closer and easier and cheaper to the sources of o u r food supply.” SUGAR IS REDUCER New York, Sept. 3.—Announce ments were pado today bringing prices for refined sugar to about the same basis a t which ‘ ‘second hand” or speculators’ stocks recently havo been selling.
