This ratification resolution is, indeed, interesting;
almost as interesting as Sen. Edges labor speech on
the amendments. In the preamble, for instance, we
find that It is mot to take effect or bind the United
States until the numerous reservations proposed
have been accepted as a part and condition OF said
instrument OF ratification by at least three Of the
four principal allied and associated powers"

down, 1t is now proposed TO amend il by indirection.
and yet quite as effectively as II by direct action.
The demagoguery, charlatanry. two-facedness and
insincerity of the supporters of these reservations,
is ca silly discernable. with just a little application Of
memory to what has been going on during the past
few months.
Sen. Lodge. two months ago. gave expression to
some very interesting views on this subject. The
question then was whether the adoption of reserva-
tons would make necessary the resubmission of the
treaty. this possibility being greatly feared by those
who favored reservations and yet did not desire to
see negotiations reopened. That was the great STUN
bling block.

Rockefeller referred as previously quoted. as

bolshevik doctrines that are our present menace.
Labor must have a way of bringing capital into
court as well as capital such a process for reaching

the injunction in the present instance, but capital
has employed it at other times and to it's decided
advantage.
Why not a court Of arbitration for the settle
ment of labor disputes same as we have civil
courts and criminal courts for the settlement of
civil disputesa

LEGISLATION that the government needs right
now is exactly Of the kind that should have
been passed in 1916 in the stead of the Adamson
wage law; the law that has been a cue to the rail-
roads every since, and has furnished the cue to
the coal miners.
The Adamson law was forced through congress
to prevent a tie-up of the railroads. with the APP
proach of winter, setting a new pace in wage leg
islation. and providing for investigation and arbi-
tration later on,-and We have seen how well the
railroad men have regarded the arbitration
award.
Recently they tried the same old trick over
again-a strike being averted only by earnest ap-
peal of the president; this and a gentle hint from
somewhere that it might be dangerous business.

troll as a war emergency. a condition quite similar
