The industrial sky was pretty dark
several points. In Hammond, Ind, the
striking employees of the Pressed Steel
Car works engaged in riOting and
three Of them were killed by the state
troops and police. Then the members
of the police force of Boston, who mad
joined labor union in defiance of
regulations went on strike, and imme-
diately the disorderly elements of the
city began pillaging stores, attacking
women and indulging in other riotous
demonstrations. The loyal police were
unequal to the emergency and the
mayor called for the assistance of the
state militia. Several regiments were
mobilized and went into action against
the mobs, seven persons being killed In
the fights. All other labor unions In
the city threatened to go on strike In
sympathy with the police. The firemen
also said they would quit If the police
men asked it.
AS Chairman Gary of the United
States Steel corporation directorate
was obdurate in his refusal to meet
with the advisory committee Of the steel
workers, despite the efforts of Presi-
dent Wilson and others, the committee
called a strike of all union employees
of the corporation for Monday, Sep
tember % The strike order will go
into effect unless concessions satisfac-
tory to the unions shall be made before
that time by the corporation or Presi-
dent Wilson shall succeed in persuad-
ing the workers to,postpone II. Through
Secretary Tumulty, the president urged
on Samuel Gompers the wisdom OF put
ting off the strike until after the indus
trial conference that Is to meet In
Washington early next month. Mr..
Gompers was in Dorchester. Mass.
where he was called by the death OF
his father, and at the time Of writing
It was not known what would be his
attitude In the matter.
There was joy in Chicago over the
ending Of the long tie-up In the build
ing industry. The carpenters, whose
refusal to work for less than 81 an
hour caused the trouble, agreed to re-
turn to their jobs for the 921s cents an
hour offered by the contractors, until
next May, when there will be a re-
adjustment. The settlement permitted
the resumption Of building projects In
volving many millions Of dollars.

Senator Hitchcock presented the re-
port of the minority of the committee,
signed by the Democratic members
with the exception of Senator Shields
Of Tennessee, who had declared him
self I'm favor Of the Lodge reservations.
This report was no whit behind that of
the majority in forcefulness Of Ian
guage and argument, and declared that
refusal to ratify the treaty as II stands
would mean the sacrifice by the United
States of all concessions obtained from
Germany under dictated peace, would
leave the industrial world in ferment,
the financial world In doubt and COM
merce halted. Concerning the pro-
posed amendments the report said:
eve see no reason to discuss their
character at length. In our opinion
they have TO merit, but whether they
be good, bad or Indifferent their adop-
ton by the senate can have no pos
sible effect except to defeat the par-
ticipation Of the United States in the
treaty. None of them could by any
possibility be accepted by even g.
great nations associated with {.

DR.. Karl Renner, on behalf Of Aus
tria, signed the peace treaty with that
now petty country, but the signatures
of Roumania and Czecho- Slovakia were
withheld for the present. Roumania
objects to the clauses guaranteeing
equal civil rights to Jews and other
religious and racial minorities, and the
Serbians were waiting for the forma-
ton Of a new cabinet at Belgrade.
There was no indication of hard feel
ings between the allied representa-
tlves and Doctor Renner at the cere-
mony, and the latter accepted the
treaty with the hope that before long
Austria would be given easier terms
and perhaps the right Of self-deter
mination and permission to unite with
the German republic.
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1919-09-18

Germany, in reply to the peace con-
ference's objection 10 the article in the
new German constitution providing for
Austrian representation in the reichs-
rath, said the article would remain in
effective. The conference answered
that this was not enough. that the
article must be expunged; but this Sec
ond warning was not expressed so
f. y as had been intended, owing
to HE objection of Mr.. Polk. However,
Gcrmany cannot but yield. The gov
eru rent in Berlin evidently expects 2
new Spartacist uprising in the near
future, for the Noske guards have been
making secret preparations, and guns
been placed at bridges and other
C points. This revolution" had
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1919-09-18

been scheduled for October but prob
ably the date has been advanced.
The latest news from Russia, which,
however, comes from bOlshevist
sources, is that 10000 of Admiral Kol-
chak's men have been captured by the
reds and the surrender of the re-
mainder of his southern army Is ex-
pected. In northern Russia the stu
alton Of the antibolshevists is des.
perate. The Americans have left and
the British are rapidly completing
their evacuation Of the Archangel re-
gion. A delegation from the municipal
and zemstvo organizations of that dis
trict has reached London and made
pathetic appeal against the withdrawal
of allied help.
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1919-09-18

The Roumanians, at last reports, had
not yet withdrawn their troops from
Hungary and their actions and Ian
guage continue to be defiant of the al
lies. They claim to be acting as bar
rier to the waves of bolshevism that
threaten to flow over Hungary from
the east. The Serbians. it is reported,
are growing very bitter against Rou-
mania and are talking war and NOV
ing up their artillery to the frontier
An interesting story comes from
Vienna Of the arrest in Prague of the
leaders in monarchist plot that is be-
lieved to include Austria and Hungary
and with which the Archduke Joseph
party is said to be allied. 1t is rumored
the intention was to put former EN-
peror Charles back on the throne.

them could by any possibility be die
tated to Germany. To adopt any one
Of them, therefore, is equivalent to re-
jecting the treaty"
The report sets forth some Of the
concessions from Germany which, 1t
says America would sacrifice. Most of
these are acceptances by Germany Of
action already taken by the United
States and which the most ardent ad-
vocate of the treaty would not suggest
that the United States would recon-
slider even if Germany withheld its as
sent. The really important point
brought out in this connection was
that unless we are party to the
treaty we will have no membership on
the reparations commission, which for
years to come will have enormous con-
troll over the trade and commerce Of
Germany with other nations.
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1919-09-18

General Pershing's return to the
United States was the occasion Of a
tremendous demonstration in New
York, lasting over three days and cul-
minating in an impressive parade of
the First division, first to enter the
war and last to leave" led by the gal
liant commander in chief. When Perish
ing landed at Hoboken he was present
ed by Secretary Baker with his COM
mission as general, and on Thursday.
September IS, he will be received by
both houses of congress in joint ses-
sion and will be told formally how

tinguished services in accomplishing a
great task with all credit to the Ameri-
