LITTLE WORK ON TREATY BEFORE NEXT WEEK Sept. 15—The German peace treaty, with its league of na- tions covenant, was called up today in the senate but plans of the senate and individual senators were consid- ered as precluding any actual work on_the pact until next week. While the treaty was put before the senate 1o be ratified or rejected, there apparently was no disposition to speed it along until after the interruption of business by the Pershing ceremonies Wednesday and Thursday. Senator Sherman, republican, Illinois, will take up most of the time of the session to- morrow with an attack on the league covenant and Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri, who has been speaking in the west against it, will speak Friday The reading of the treaty, section by section, hardly is expected, there- fore, 10 begin until Monday. The lea- gue covenant comes first, and right at the beginning almost is the amend- ment by Senator Johnson, republican, California, which would give ths Urited States the same voting powe: as Great Britain. After Chairman Lodge had formally alled up the treaty today he preseni- ed a printed text of the trealy with Austria, supplied him by a Chicago newspaper, and - obtained unanimous consent 1o have it read. Senator Hitcheock of Nebraska, who, as rank- ing democratic member of the com- mittee, will conduct the administr tion fight for ratification, made Vig- orous objection to this proceedure, de- claring it “a mere squandering of time.” To have that treaty read, with a dozen senators listening, would be flying in the face of public demand for speed. Senator Hitchcock said in ap- pealing to Senator Lodge to have the document printed and let it o at that. This Scnator Lodge agreed to do. There were two speeches today for ratification, by Senator Jones, New Mexico, and Senator Overman. Nortn arolima hoth. democrats. MeCumber.

Snators were agreed today that mo attempt would be made to delay it, because of the general desire to dispose of it finally without any waste of time. NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE OF CANADA Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 15—*“In the nited States, if we cannot lower the cost of living in any other way, we are going to have a law passed that the price received by the producer {must_be stamped on the commodity,” said Warren S. Stone, president of the Brothernood of Locomotive Engineers of the United States, today in an ad- dress before the National Industrial ‘lfonfcr(-nre of Canada. “Thén we shall soon find out where the trouble i whether it is the wholesaler, jobber or retailer.” A twenty per cent. increase in wages and a forty per cent. increase in liv- ing cost will never bring peace. The peace period must end war bprofiteer- ing, and the cost of living must come down.

Members of the firemen’s union announced they would “only be put out with guns’ while the commissioners were hooted by the police when the order was pre- sented. HOPE FOR SETTLEMENT OF BOSTON POLICE STRIKE Boston, Sept. 15. There were srounds for hope tonight that a gen- eral strike in sympathy with the po- lice who quit their post last Thurs- day would be averted. These were found largely in the sentiment which favored recourse to the courts in an effort to have the strikers reinstated. Strike sentiment is known to be strong in certain union quarters and Frank H. McCarthy, New England organizer for the American Federation of Labor, and President Michael J. O'Donnell of the Central Labor Union, in a formal statement tonight justi- fied the action of the police in Strik- ing and attributed to Police Com- missioner’s rule forbidding the affili- bility for the lawlessness that ensued. They also pointed out that the com- missioner’s rult forbidding the affili- ation of the police with the Ameri- can Federation of Labor was not pro- mulgated until after a charter had been sought, and that the commission- er had been warned three weeks be- fore the strike of what would happen if he attempted to enforce his new rule. Counsel for th labor leaders con- ferred with their clients today and it was reported that the supreme court might be asked to grant a writ of mandamus compelling the police com- missioner to reinstate the strikers. Meantime the recruiting of a new police force is proceeding expeditious- Iy and the first of the new men now in training will appear on the streets next Modnay. With the state guard and the volunteer police on duty until the new department is thoroughly or- ganized, it is believed that the city will not see a-repetition-of the disorders, at Jeast “unless’ a general strike is declared. ¢ The first attempt to disorganize the normal life of the city will be the signal for the bringing in of whatever number of federal troops may he nec- essary to protect life and property. Police Commissioner Curtis receiv- ed Guy Oyster, secretary to President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, and John F.

O'Do-ncli saying that the action which he had taken was the only one that he could take under the law. The conference appeared to have left the situation just as it was before. Governor Coolidge -in a talk with apermen made it plain that he had no intention of removing the po- lice commissioner, as the labor lead- ers had requested or of ivestigating the act of the commissioner in declaring the places of the strikers vacant. The state executive board of the American Legion instructed the secre- tary today to send to all local com- manders instructions to call special meetings of their posts, at which the commanders are asked to urge those who can do so to join “the organized forces of the state which are under the governor’s control.” The command- ers also are requested to obtain the names of “all who can be relied upon in case of emergency to assist in the preservation of law and order,"“(nd to arranse local emergency organ{za- tions for those who do not join %he militia. l The Raincoat Makers’ Union placed elf on record today as being ready to take part in the general sympathetic strike. The other locals affiliated with the United Hebrew Trades have previously taken similar action. H GOMPERS IS BUSY IN CURBING STRIKES Washington, Sept. = 15.—Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, returning to his office at the federation headquarters, [went over the situations arising from | the police strike in Boston and the proposed nation-wide steel workers’ strike September 22, but refused abso- lutely to comment on either. There were indications, however, at the close of the day that the labor chief was making every effort to ob. support a movement to delay the steel workers' walkout. In requesting that the mine workers make this decision, Mr. Gompers forwarded a letter from President Johnson of the International Association favoring post- ponement of the strike. As the steel workers_will hold a meeting Wednes- day in Pittsburgh ig discuss plans for the strike, it was suggestsi in some auarters that President Gompers was endeavoring to influence these work- ers through their affiliated unions. WOMEN AS “PROVERBIAL SINNERS AGAINST HEALTH.” New York, Sept. 15—Women were described as “proverbial sinners against health” and warned to get rid of the idea that because they were women they were entitled to special consideration by men, in an address delivered today by Dr. Annma L.
