TOATTEMPT RECALL
Of CITY OFFICIALS
Selects Committee to Handle

Issue Resolution.

Tacoma, April 6.-Union labor of Ia
coma viii attempt the recall of the en-
tire city administration. including Mayor
c, NJ. Riddell and Commissioners T. II.
Petit. FL. Roy Harrison, Fred Shoenak-
or and Ira S. Davisson. because of the
refusal of the commissioner of public
safety and the council to sanction the
tag day of the soldiers and sailors coun-
cil yesterday. This action was deternin-
ed upon at a citizens meeting. called i'm
mediateiy following a special session of
the Central Labor council this morning.
A committee of 25 TO manage the re-
call campaign was authorized. It win
meet again Monday to prepare recall pc
titions and perfect precinct organization,
A committee of three was appointed By
the citizens meeting to act in an endeav-
or to get release for all those arrested
Saturday in connection with the tag day
and still in Jail.
A resolution drawn up by the members
of the soldiers and sailors council who
spent the night in the city Jail was read
before the meeting as follows:
Fellow workers: Resolved. here in
this bull pen. that we are not sorry for
the stand we have taken and that we
are ready to go through to the bitter
end. We know that organized labor is
behind us and ask that we be got out
of this rotten hole. As we write this
the vermin are crawling over the walls
and floors by thousands and the air in
here carries a foul stencil. The boys
join in protest that ex-soldiers should
be treated in this manner for what they
have done. claiming that they were using
their lawful right when selling tags for

diers and sailors"
In view of the fact that the sale Of
tags was not as heavy as expected Satur-
day another tag day for the soldiers
and sailors council will be held soon, ac-
cording to labor leaders.

the attitude of the president and many
others have followed that lead"
Recalling that there was criticism Of
President Roosevelt for sending dele
gates to the Algeries conference on the
Moroccan question, Mr.. Cummins quoted
the following for a speech on January
%, 1906, by Senator John G. Spooner, Of
Wisconsin, a member Of the foreign re-
lations committee.
The senate has nothing to do with the
negotiation Of treaties or the conduct of
our foreign intercourse and relations
save the exercise of the one constitution
al function of advice and consent which
the constitution required as q precedent
condition to the making Of treaty. The
president negotiates the treaty to begin
with. The senate has no right to demand
what he shall unfold to the world or to
it. When he shall have negotiated and
sent his. proposed treaty to the senate,
the jurisdiction of this body attaches and
it's power begins"
Senator Lodge, Mr.. Cummings said,
gave his complete endorsement to the
position assumed by Senator Spooner BY
saying:
Il don't think that it is possible for
anybody to make any addition to the
mastery statement in regard to the pow
crs Of the president in treaty making
which we have heard from the senator
from Wisconsin"

Washington, April 6.-In statement
tonight declaring that careful observer
s.cannot fail to note that opposition to
the league of nations is crumbling,'' Ho-
mer S. Cummins, chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee, reproduced ex-
tracts from a speech delivered by Sena-
tor Lodge in 1906 to show the attitude
Of the republican leader toward the ne
gotiation of treaties by the president
without advance consultation with the
senate.
Statements issued by league oppon-
ents, Mr.. Cummings said, are less sweep
ing in their character and carry the inn
plication that when the time comes for
ratification, the treaty will be rescinded
Ly small majority.
"Criticism is narrowing down" the
statement continued, "and those who fol-
low the lead of the senator's who issued
the round robin, accompany their rapid

on President Wilson for the manner in
(which the matter has been handleds The
provision in the constitution relating to
the approval Of treaties by and with the
advice and consent of the senate is still
being relied upon to challenge the con-
duct of the president in ignoring" as it
is said, the proper functions Of the SEN
