Results From Defeat of Gov

Food Minister To Resign

early this morning by the executive
committee of the general federation of
labor that it had been decided to re-
scind the call for Mondays general
strike.

nouncement said, which showed that
the chamber has condemned the gov

ures in regard to rehabilitation, the
general strike for Monday will not be

The national committee of the fed
GRAFTON will meet Monday to reconsider
the whole situation.
Government Defeated.
Condemnation of the governments
economic policy in the chamber last
night was by a vote of 227 to 213.
Victor Boret, the food minister. de-
clared in the lobby after the session
that he would resign but did not con-
slider the action of the chamber as az
fecting any but this department be-
cause the entire policy of the govern
ment was not involved in the debate.
The vote was taken after a rather
confused debate in which interpella-
tions were made by different groups.
Ii was held that the increasing cost
OF living was due largely to the errors
in the government pOnCys ldck OF
firmness in dealing with food prof.
teers. high customs duties, insufficient
effort to stimulate production and in
sufficient distribution.
Charges Nation Lazy.
Minister Boret. in replying to the
interpretations, said the lower cost of
living in other allied countries was
due in part to the fact that none had
suffered as much as France in the
reduction of producing capacity. He
declared the situation was further
complicated by "a wave of laziness
which is momentarily sweeping over
the country"
The explanations made by NJ. Boret
failed to satisfy the governments
critics. NJ. Augagneur then intro
duced the resolution, vote on which
resulted in the governments defeat
by fourteen votes.

LULL IN TREATY FIGHT
Senate Recesses Today and President
Is Not Holding Conferences.


Washington, July 19.-There was a
recess today in senate debate on the
peace treaty as we'll Ss in its eonsidera-
ton by the foreign relations commit
tee.
At two meetings yesterday the COM
mittee made a little progress in pre-
liminary reading of the treaty text, but
gave up hope of completing the task
this week and adjourned until Mon
day. The senate also adjourned over
today. but many senators were at work
on addresses to be made during the
debate next week.
President Wilson had no engage
ments to see senators today. but he
is expected to resume his talks with
Republican members Monday.
Both speakers ara expected to reit-
crate THEN solemn assurances of the
past that the new Germany intends to
adhere fully to the peace treaty. The
trend of recent thought within Ger
many, however. make it appear
likely there will be some hints asking
Germany's early admittance to the
league of nations. Renewed sugi es-
tons also ara expected with an aim
to obtaining further alterations in the
peace terms.

MUST RATIFY FIRST
Then U. S. VIII Re-Establish Diplo-

Washington. July 19.-Tho British
and French consuls already have en-
tered Germany for the purpose of re-
establishing trade relations with that
country, the state department here
has been unable to do more than or
ganize its own consular service for
similar functions pending authority to
send them into Germany. This au-
thority cannot be secured, in the opin-
ion of the department, until the peace
treaty has been finally ratified.
Tho Germany is reported to have
accredited Baron Kurt Won Lersney,
the representative of the German
peace commissioners at Versailles, as
charge of her embassy in France,
state department officials are positive
there is no law for the recognition of
any such official in the United States
until the technical state of war is end
ed by ratification of the treaty.

STRIKE EPIDEMIC
Continued from Page One,
and controversies" which have not
yet reached the strike stage.
Chicago Is Strike Mad


Chicago Is Strike Mad.
Chicago, July 19.-Chicago today
seems to be strike mad. The city is in
the throes OF one of the greatest labor
tieupS in its history.
The city's labor problem--already
involving more than $4,000 persons
was made more serious today when
designations" were received by the
fire department of 237 fire department
and pumping station engineers.
City officials declared the stations
will be manned with emergency en-
gineers and that the city. will be amply
protected from fires
The engineers voted to go out at S
a. m. today and t stay off duty until
their demand of so cents an hour is
met. They now receive Al.
Surface and elevated transportation
employees announced their vote of
more than 100 to l in favor of a strike
to force their demands for more pay.
Surface line employees voted 1O,016 for
and 4S5 against the strike, while 'L''
employees were 3,501 to 3S1 in favor.
Hope Of a settlement in the build
ing trade lockout, affecting 100, 900
men, appeared today. At a meeting
last night Simon O'Donnell, secretary
OF the building trades council, told
the men their strike was unauthor-
lied. He appointed a committee of
i've NdlSlntereSted" men to go with a
committee of the builders for a con-
ference with the construction en-
ployers today. The men were locked
out of their jobs-involving projects
costing more than $4,000, O00-when
they failed to report for work yes
terday without having sent any notice
or demands to their employers.
Strike Vote to Union Headquarters.
The traction votes were to be sent
to the head office at Boston, Mass,
of the street car mems union where
the final decision on the strike will
be given. Hope that their pay. would
be voluntarily increased was ex-
pressed. President Britton 1. Budd of
the elevated lines having asked the
state public utilities commission for
authority to increase fares so the in
crease in wages might be granted.
10000 Packing Employees Out.
Dislike for policeman and guards
is given as the reason that 10000
workers at various packing plants in
the stock yards are out on strike to-
day. The men declare they will not
return to work until the guardians of
the law are withdrawn. Seward c.
Frazee, superintendent of the Wilson
plant, said the strikes are the result
of radical elements among the men.
