POLISH REPLY TO AMERICAN NOTE
WASHINGTON, September 1. The Polish reply to the American note, while ageing with the Ameri. can wish to have Russian territory respected, states that Poland is forced to consider the serious consequence resulting should the Polish counter-offen- sive cease at a fixed fine without satisfactory guarantees from the Soviets. The Chief Justice: Your notice of The reply draws attention to the fact that the Bolsheviks violated Poland's motion does not conform to the

It is widely pointed out that the margin is nothing to boast about, especially as it is understood that 100,000 boys voted solidly for a strike representing certainly more than the margin obtained. Con sequently the result is in the nature of a substantial check to the ambitions of the extremists, especially as the bulk of 400,000 non-yoters may be con- sidered as against a strike.
LEADERS' POSITION NOT STRENGTHENED,
The result is regarded as not having strengthened the position of the leaders federation, who it is now reported are prepared to drop the demand for a reduction in the price of coal and concentrate upon increased wages. It is the concensus of opinion in this connection that the Board of Trade is prepared to negotiate with the miners as regards increased wages if the question is linked up with a guaranteed increased output, and furthermore that there is no other solution to the problem.
LONDON, September 1.
The Triple Alliance further considered the miners' position this morn ing. It decided to authorise the sub-committee of the Alliance to remain in continuous session with power to convene a further meeting of the fall body as circumstances may direct after the policy of the miners has been finally declared at the miners' conference to-morrow.

The Chief Justice: That is not a correct statement.
Mr. Drummond: It is a clerical error;
The chief Justice: Better set it right. The real order was refusal to order a new trial. I think your notice should be amended.
Mr. Drummond drew attention to the Ordinance in regard to security and suspension of judgment.
The Chief Justice wished to know on what ground execution of judg- ment should be suspended. -Mr, Drummond replied that it was merely formal. Judgment could not be suspended as the money had been paid
His Lordship remarked that by paying the money the appellants had waived the benefits accruing from the ordinance.

Although the Erezing News declares that mediation has beeq rejected and the railwaymen and transport workers to-day decided to strike with the miners in the event of the latter striking, it may be pointed out that these alarms are likely to be recurrent during the next few days.

LONDON, September 1. The position of the printing trade in Manchester and Liverpool, which resulted in the stoppage of practically all the newspapers in Lancashire, has become very grave. The strike of printers in those centres was not authorized by the Typographical Union which represents organizations out- side London, but the Manchester and Liverpool branches of the union struck work without notice, and the newspaper, proprietors have now issued an ultimatum that unless printers return to work before September 3 a general lockout will be declared on all newspapers outside London.
