Progressive Democrats Watch France Trip For Russia Policy
Progressive democrats anxious over the president’s France trip hope he will demand from the men who led him into the Russian affair a reason why American and allied troops should not be withdrawn to honor his pledge of noninterference in Russia. They note he refused to act as an armed collecting agent in Mexico and now expect a stance toward Russia’s 180,000,000 revolutionists.

Telephone strike accusations stir Twin Cities wage dispute
In St Paul Minnesota unions claim telephone companies paid $600000 in dividends for the first nine months while offering workers only 1.60 to 1.80 per day. Companies seek a 2300000 annual rate increase to cover wage demands, deny restraint by federal control, and label the stoppage a walkout. Striking workers call it a lockout and seek federal guidance from Washington as AFL President Gompers consults with Burleson. The situation centers on federal authority versus local labor autonomy and wartime pay comparisons.
