TEAPOT TEMPEST AbkTES QUICKLY ROOT HAD TREATY

WASHINGTON, June 11.--I1ow the peace treaty reached private hands in New York and thus stirred up sen sation in the senate, was established today at a two-hour hearing before the foreign lrelations committee.
 Senator Lodge revealed that the copy he saw shown him by Elihu Root. a former secretary of state. MT. Root told the committee he got it from Henry P. Davison, a member of the Morgan banking house. and head of the Red Cross. and Mir. Davison in turn testified it was given him in Paris by Thomas W. Lamont, another Morgan partner, attached to the Amer ican peace commission.
 J. P. Morgan and Frank A. Wander lip. retiring president of the National City bank, also before the committee, said they never had seen a copy.
 With that the committee adjourned without setting a date to continue the hearing and with members on both sides of the treaty controversy saying privately that the investigation appar- ently was over
 Mir. Davison said he secured the copy to clear up the status of the Red Cross under the league of nations,
 
 way. He had shown it to no one except Mir Root, he continued, and had sent it to him because he knew the former secretary was being consulted by the American mission.
 AIr. Root gave it as his opinion that there was nothing improper in the manner the treaty reached him and that he was free to use it as he chose. There could be nothing secret about it, he told the committe, because the Ger man government had made it public Under questioning, MT. Root, who appeared in the inquiry voluntarily went on to say that while the senate was within it's rights in asking for a copy. after the treaty became public 1 in Germany President Wilson was within his rights in withholding it ii i he chose.

WILSON VOLUNTEERS
 A|D ID IRISH CAUSE

PARIS. June 11.-(By the Associat- ed Press) President Wilson today told representatives of Irish societies in America that he would do what he could. unofficially. to bring the Irish peace commissioners.
 Announcement to this affect was made by Frank p. Walsh and Edward r. Dunne, representatives of the Irish Americans, after they had conferred with the president.
 The following statement was given out after the conference:
 I've had a conference with the president today,> in which he stated that the American commissioners could not take up the case of Ireland officially with the peace conference but that he himself and others had done and would continue to do, unof- ficailly, what they could do in interest of Irlenad; the American commission has not yet taken up the senate reso8 8l- 1 forts to secure a hearing for DeValera, Griffith and Plunkett.
 "Of course We will take no further steps until the American commission passes on the senate resolution. If a hearing is granted Dc Valera and his associates and international recogni- ton is secured for the Irish republic, then our work is at an end. If the re- ] quest of the senate is denied, we will ! proceed with our efforts to present the | case of Ireland to the whole peace con- 1 ference"

EXPECT FINAL: WORD ID GERMANS READY
 FUR THEM TOMORROW

PARIS, June 11-(By The Associated Press)-Distinct progress was reported tonight on the reply of the allied and associated governments to the German counter proposals, and indications are that the reply will be ready for de- livery on Friday.
 The Germans will be given five days limit for final action which would, therefore, come on or before June IS. The main feature of this progress was an agreement regarding the reparation terms. which have been the subject of a sharp controversy during the past ten days.
 As finally adopted. the terms do not fix the definite amount of separations. but the commission is required to fix the amount within four months of the signing of the treaty.
 The main changes are explanations rather than notifications, in order to meet the contention that the financial commission was vexatious, inquisitor- iaI and infringed Germany's rights tc conduct her own financial affairs. The revised terms clear away much that was open to the criticism of being vexatious.
 Final action on Germany's request for admission to the league of nations has not yet been reached but the dis cussion is declared to be tending to- ward an accord. The Silesian q 4estion which has given difficulty, also has virtually been setteld.
 Though all the chances are that tn, reply will be delivered by the end O 1 the week. President Wilson has mad,
 no plans to leave for Brussels as ,ht i has an engagement in Paris Saturda! night. Colonel House will leave fot
 London Friday night and will remain
 there during the five days allowed thu
 Germans. He will return for the sign
 ing of the treaty next week. ! It is practically certain the revised i treaty will not be submitted to a plen
 ary conference with the smaller DOW
 CTS before the reply is sent to the Ger
 mans. The revised treaty and memo randum accompanying the treaty vii
 be sent to Count Eon Brockdorff- Fant zau. head of the German delegation, b. messenger without ceremony.

bURLESON DETAILS CAUSES LEADING TO
 TELEGRAPH STRIKE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June 11.--Declaring the strike of wire employees which be- gan today was wholly without justifi- cation Postmaster General Burleson said in statement that no amount of pressure will avail to make the wire control board extend or go beyond" rules and regulations affecting em- ployes laid down during the war by the national war labor board.
 MT. Burleson said his information was that telegraphic traffic had not and would not be delayed. Govern ment business. which makes up the bulk of that handled by the telegraph companies here, was reported moving as usual today, and at the state de- pertinent it was said there had been no interruption of cable communication with Europe
 "The present strike is wholly with out justification" said the postmaster general. Tt started at Atlanta, Ga, because it was claimed that employees of the Southern Bell Telephone com pany had been dismissed solely because of utilization with the labor organiza- ton. The complaint was promptly re- ferred to post office inspectors for investigation. While the investigation was in progress and before the inves- tigators had time to ascertain the facts, a sympathetic strike against the West ern Union was called in the southwest 1 ern states. An insignificant percentage of the operatives respected this order to strike. Messages were not delayed and business was handled as usual. In the meantime. it was ascertained that only seven employees of the Southern i Bell Telephone company had been dis missed during the month of May, as compared with an average of five for l two months previous, and the investi- 1 gation of these cases, so far completed shows that no discrimination whatever had been pacticed against employees of that company because of union affilia- tions.
 Our information is that the tele- graphic traffic has not been delayed and the information received indicates that it will not be delayed. During the period of government control the rules and regulations of the war labor board have been strictly observed and will continue to be observed during tbf continuance of government control. but no amount of pressure will avail tC make the wire control board extend ol go beyond these regulations.
