WASHINGTON, Jan., 31— Direct
or General Piez, of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, says that in the
present shipyard strikes the govern
ment’s policy will be to let the pres
ent jobs stand. General Manager Piez
referred to the Seattle strike.
The San Francisco situation, where
the workers are reported intending to
strike soon, was mentioned by Mr.
Piez. He said that many of the yards
there, as well as elsewhere, needed a
breathing spell anyway.
Mr. Piez further stated that he did
not believe that the government would
continue to furnish work at the ex
tremely hig wages- unless skill and
output justified it. He said that he
thought that the shipyard worker;
were unwise to call strikes at the ex
isting scale.
STRIKERS ARE INJURED

PARIS, Jan., :U— The Peace Con
! gress crisis regarding the disposition
■ of Germany’s colonies, seems to have
1 been passed at least momentarily. It
is however too early to say what Pres
, ident Wilson’s views will bring about.
Many are in accord with the Ameri
can President entirely in a comprom
ise which was sort of reported on
Wednesday.
Piesident Wilson hifc frankly and
plainly told the Supreme Council of
the conference he would not be a party
to a division of Germany’s colonial
possessions among the powers now
bolding them and then become a party
to the League of Nations which in ef
fect would guarantee their title. Pres
ident Wilson has referred to theNorth
Pacific Islands as loot. President Wil
son would like to see the League of
Nations take over all German colonics
and govern them.
PLAN IS ATTACKED
WASHINGTON, Jan., 31— Senate
Republicans sharply attacked Wilson's
plan for dealing with German colonies
and also occupied Turkish territory.
Senator Lodge said that the reported
plan would commit America to coop
eration in maintaining order in occu
pied territories, and this was abso
lutely unbelievable. Senator Knox
stated that the proposed obligations
would involve stupendous and pre
posterous obligations.
Senators Walsh and Lewis, Demo
: crats, stated that they doubted the
accuracy of the press reports regard
ing the colonies’s plans. Sen. Lewis
aid the reported plan would violate
the principle of self determination of
the people and furthe stated that he
believed that the agreement on the
plan was only temporary.
