Washington, Dec. %. = Diplomatic
pressure will be brought to bear upon
Colombia by several European powers
to prevent war between that country
and the United States.
The first step in this direction al
ready has been taken by several for

eral Rafael Reyes, Of the futility Of
any attempt by Colombia to retake
Panama, declaring that it will result
only in precipitating the Bogota gov

States and have said to him that the
result of such a catastrophe Colombia
herself must realize.
II this is not sufficient. the repre-

powers in any movement she may make
on Panama, which would inevitably
involve her in war with the United

ATTACKED BY SENATOR MORGAN

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Nor
gan yesterday introduced a resolution
declaring that the President has no
right to wage war against any foreign
power without the consent of Con-
gress, when such country is at peace
with the United States; that the pro-
vision of the canal treaty between the
United States and Panama is. in ef-
feet, declaration of war with Colom-
bia; that the Intervention of the Unit
ed States in preventing Colombia to
suppress the secession of Panama is
contrary to The law of neutrality and
the law of nations.
The important features of the reso-
luton are:
That neither the President, nor the
President and the Senate as the treaty
making power of the United States,
has the lawful power to wage or de-
clare war against any foreign power
without the consent of Congress.
THAT state of war exists between
Colombia and an organization in the
Colombian department of Panama that
claims to have accomplished the Sc
cession of Panama from Colombia and
to have established its independence.

REPORT THAT UNION LEADERS
WERE ORDERED OUT OF PUEBLO

it is understood that the Alliance de-
cided to give the agitators the alterna-
tive of going or remaining to be ar
rested on charges of disturbing the
peace by melting a riot at their meet
ing at the Grove which was broken up
in fight last night.
To-day the Austrians employed at
the smelters appealed for protection in
their rights to continue at work un-
molested by threatening agitators. Only
the Greeks and Italians paid attention
to the inflammatory utterances of the
walking delegates and among this ele
ment the agitators succeeded tonight
in perfecting the organization of a
union.
A canvass of the smeltermen to-day
proved that few are dissatisfied with
wages or hours, and those who are
have been listening to the talk of
walking delegates. Generally the men
desire to remain at work. Hereafter
guards will be placed at the gates of
the smelters to keep out all persons
who have no business at the plants.
Meyers meeting tonight was held in
a vacant building that has been occu-
pied by saloon. He was unable to Sc
cure the use of a hall. 1t is said that
about fifty smeltermen attended.
