SAYS LEAGUE WILL
ELECT DEMOCRATS
Cummings Accepts Lodge
Challenge to Make It :. .
Chief 1920 Issue.

ATLANTA. Ga, Nov, 24--Predict-
ing an overwhelming Democratic vic
tory in 1920 IL Senator Lodges plan
to make the league Of nations a po-
litical issue, materializes, Homer s.
Cummins, chairman Of the Democratic
National Committee. declared here
yesterday that Lodges challenge is
accepted.
81 regret the statement made by
Senator Lodge" Cummings said. "for
the reason that it may be interpreted
as having been issued with the de-
liberate intention of making a parti-
san issue of the league of nations.
1T is pitiful to note that the Re-
publican leaders in this great crisis
remember only that they are Repub-
licans and partisan Republicans at
that II the issue is precipitated their
challenge is accepted. And il that
occurs, the Republican leaders. who
by their action make it necessary.
will regret it.
"The public will know who the
treaty wreckers are and when the
people come to fully realize the crime
that has been committed against civil
lization, the men who engineered 1T
will find that they have made their
infamy immortal. No party inten-
tionally placing obstacles in the way
Of the league of nations will survive
long enough to outlive the memory of
such an offense against humanity and
civilization"

FRENCH SHIPPING
FACES HANDICAP

Frnace suffered such heavy losses
in her merchant marine during the
war that most energetic measures
must be employed to rehabilitate !it,
according to advices received today
by the Department OF Commerce.
The first endeavors, 1t is said. will
be in the direction Of placing the diff
ferent governmentally controlled lines
upon the basis they enjoyed previous
to the war. This will embrace the
numerical and physical restoration of
the steamship services in France
Guadeloupe, Corsica, Tunis. Algeria.
West Africa, Morocco, and the rest
Of the services under French govern.
ment control. or supervision of IL.
With the augmentation in the value
of the American dollar to Q francs, II
is seen that trade must be extended
with the colonies to replace American
importations as much as possib e
until exchange rates are back TO a
normal basis.

.GOMPERS CHARGES
us. BROKE FAITH
Labor Leader Asserts Executive
Promised Lever Act
immunity.

Assurance that the Lever act would
not be used to prevent strikes was
given by high Administration Of
ficials, Senators and members Of Con-
gress at the time the measure was be-
fore Congress, Samuel Gompers, pres
ident Of the American Federation Of
Labor declared at labor mass meet
ing in Typographical Temple satur-
day night.
Gompers quoted from an elaborately
prepared brief, claiming to show that
the Government broke faith with
union labor when it used the Lever
act as the ground for an injunction
to order striking coal miners back to
work.
Labor had withdrawn opposition to
the bill when II had been assured
nothing in the measure would inter
fere with the right to strike, Com
pers said.
THE assurances of the President Of
the United States through Secretary
of Labor Wilson, Attorney General
Gregory, the Council Of National De-
tense. Food Administrators Hoover,
Representative Lever. and others were
accepted as conclusive" Gompers
said. They had all been corroborated
in Senate speeches by Senators Hus.
iiS. ShdiAUCTlAln, I1OluS, anu OtHcES.
Labor ceased to insist that the bill
should be amended and worked whole
heartedly for the passage of the
measure. Not a doubt existed that
the assurances of the Government Of
ficials would be carried out"
Attorney General Palmer recently
informed Senator Thomas (Col.) that
he found no correspondence in tk
files of the Department Of Justice to
indicate that the Government had
promised to exempt labor from the
effect of the law. Former Attorney
General Gregory was also recently
quoted as denying he made such a
promise when the bill was before
Congress.
GreEery's Prenise.
Gompers declared that just before
the bill was passed then Attorney
General Gregory said that he would
write the district attorneys not ia
construe section 4 jas interfering in
any way with the normal activities OF
labor"
Senator Husting's statement later
in the Senate also clinches the fact
that the President Of the United
States was quoted correctly when the
claim was made that he had indorsed
the statement of Attorney General
Gregory" Gompefs said. Gompers
quoted the following statement by
Husting made during Senate debate:
~ can say that the Secretary OF
Labor advised me that this was the
opinion of the Administration and
Department Of Justice. He did not
give 1t merely as a matter of belief
on his part, but said that he was au-
thorized to so state"
