REDUCED RATES
ON LIVESTOCK
now EFFECTIVE
Big Reduction in Freight Tar
ifs Made Operative by
Rail Board July Is

The state railway commission
today announced a considerable
reduction in rates on cattle, hogs
and horses between points within
the state. These rates became
effective July Is. A standard
car Of cattle may now move 100
miles for $41.80; 200 miles for
$3.50, and 800 miles for $61.60.
The old rates were $500 for 100
miles; $50 for 200 miles, and $7s
for 800 miles.
A standard car Of hogs may now
move 100 miles for $3.50; 200
miles for $46.75, and 800 miles
for $685.. The old rates were
1920, $64 and 70, respectively.
While these rates represent
quite a reduction announces the
commission, and while they will
save the shippers Of the state
considerable money, they are still
considered too high by the COM
mission, which declares it will
approve Of no rates in excess Of
those prescribed in House Bill
4s, enacted by the last IegisIa-
ture. Distance tariffs made effec-
tive by this act are about so per-
cent lower than those which the
federal railway administration
has had in force in North Dakota
for more than year.

CHICAGO FACES
MOST SERIOUS
LABOR CRISIS
Fire Department Engineers and
Assistants Vote to Quit
Work This Morning
STOCKYARD WORKERS OUT
Dislike for Police Given as Rea-
son for Strike of 10000
West of Halstead

Chicago, ILL.,, July 19.-Chicago is
confronted today with one Of the most
serious situations it ever has exper-
fenced. The fire department engl-
neers and assistants, at a meeting
held last night, voted to quit work at
8 O'Clock this morning. This action
taken as result Of the failure of the
city to meet the demands of the en-
gineers for an increase in wages. The
water pressure in the city mains is
not strong enough to throw a stream
one story high and heads of the de-
partment expressed grave fear in
case of big fire. -.
Dislike the Police.
Dislike for policemen and guards is
given as the reason why 10000 work.
ers In the stockyards are out on
strike today. The men declare they
will not return to work until the
guardians of the law are withdrawn.
Thompson Names Arbitrators
Mayor Thompson today appointed a
mediation committee of nine members
to investigate both sides of the con-
troversy between the transaction COM,
panies and their men in an effort to
avert the threatened strike of the en-
ployees. Heads of the streetcar en-
plays said a telegram to William Nc
Mahon, president of the International
Order of Streetcar Workers, asking
him to come to Chicago.

my ambition to practice law, and now

BY THE HON. GILBERT N. HITCH
COCK.
Senator From Nebraska, and Leader
Of the Fight For the League
of Nations.

Heretofore the world has been or
ganized for war and has had war
Now q united effort is being made
to organize the nations for peace by
establishing the League of Nations
Heretofore each of the peace treaties
signed after a war has been only q
truce, and has been followed by
preparations for the next year.
This peace treaty would be jujst
like the others if it did not include
the provisions establishing the league
of nations. Almost before the ink
is dry on the treaty each nation
would begin again to develop its mil
itary and naval powers for the next
conflict.
The only way to end this is for
the nations to form an organization
the purpose of which is to avoid war,
war preparations, war taxes and war
miseries. This organization we call
the League of Nations.
1t is not a super-nation, as some
have charged, with power to destroy
or to tyranize. 1t has none of the
functions of government. 1t can not
levy taxes, raise armies or build ma.
vies. 1t is a covenant or agreement
between nations, each Of which re-
tains its sovereign powers and in
dependent existence. These nations
make certain promises to each other.
II these promises are kept, there will
not only be no war but armies and
taxes will be reduced while each gov
ernment can devote its energies to
improving the conditions Of life and
developing the resources of its coun-
try.
The document which may be called
the constitution of the league, when
first agreed upon by the representa-
tives Of fourteen nations, embracing
one thousand million people, was
made public about the middle of Feb
ruary and published all over the
world for examination and criticism.
Then it was again considered. Va.
rious amendments that had been sug-
gested were accepted, and finally the
revised document was adopted by the
peace conference, about the end of
April, and became the first article
of the treaty of peace which has been
signed by Germany and thirty other
nations, including the United States.
All that now remains to be done is
to have the various governments rat
ify this treaty and then the League
of Nations will be in working order.
Any Nation Joining the League Now
Can Later Retire on Two Years
Notice.
In our country the U. S. senate
has the power Of ratification, and a
two-thirds vote is necessary.
Any nation ratifying the treaty and
Joining the league can, in the future,
retire from the league on two years
notice. This provision was inserted
to remove the fears of people in this
country and in others that a nation
might find by experience that men,
bership was not desirable or that the
league failed in it's purpose.
One of the difficulties in organizing
the league was how to give mem
bership to all nations, large as we'll
as small, and yet to arrange for the
great and advanced nations like the
United States to have the leadership.
A league could not last long or &C.
complish much if so organized that

eY THE HON. MEDlLL MCCORMICK
Senator From Illinois, and Leader OF
the Fight Against the League
Of Nations.
The treaty of peace is-a promise
of war. The territorial terms in Eu-
rope and in Asia have made it that.
The covenant of the league is not a
guarantee of future security, justice
and peace, but pledge that America
shall take part in the next war, even
agains ther conscience and her judg-
ment, to insure the victors in the
possession Of their newwon borders.
If we 60 into the trap now without
providing for an exit, it will be our
own fault.
The fourteen points have been
blown to the four winds. Men and
women in Europe and America who
first supported the covenant Of the
league and denounced the demon.
strant senator's, now are as bitterly
opposed to the treaty as any sena-
tors.
The British empire has been the
principal winner Of the peace, and
America Is made the "magniloquent
dupe" of the world. The terms are
triumph for Mr.. Lloyd George. The
Phrase Maker of the King has COM
pletely bested the. King of Phrase
Makers.
! Talleyrand, the great French Dip
lomat, who in the congress of Vienna
tricked the conquerors of Napoleon,
wrote that words have been given
to man for the purpose of concealing
his troughts." The old world diplo-
mats who assembled in Paris and in
Versailles have so phrased and SO
constructed the treaty and the gov
ernment of the league that both, and
especially the government, have a
meaning different from that which
at first sight they seem to carry.
The amendments. written nominally
to meet American criticism, are
shams. They do not do what they
pretend to do. The protection Of our
interest which appears in one line
is taken away in the next. Questions
like the Monroe Doctrine, the control
of immigration and other domestic
affairs, sovereignty over the Pana-
ma canal, liability to war and the
right to withdraw from the league,
are all placed in the hands of the
executive. council, controlled abso-
lutely by European powers.
The senate cannot reWrite the
treaty, but it can save America from

Paris. Friday, July 1S. (By the AS

AS many of them are badly affect,

countries through which they would

objected to giving them passage for
fear of Bolshevik propaganda. More
