BRITISH INDUSTRIAL
|. WAR IS TERMINATED
RAIL STRIKE BROUGHT TO
CLOSE AS A RESULT OF.
COMPROMISE.
Men Agree to Return to Work Pend
ing Negotiations Of the Wage Status
Under Guarantee of Settlement
by Oct nber 81.

LondOn.-A truce was negotiated IN
Sunday in the greatest industrial
struggle i'm the history of Britain when
Premier Lloyd George and Andrew
Bonar Law, for the government, reach
ed compromise with the railway
mems union and the intermediary
union representatives at a conference
It No. 10 Downing street.
The men agreed to return 10 work
forthwith. pending negotiations of the
wage status under the guarantee that
there will be settlement by October
81, and conditionally upon the govern
ments guarantee that there viii be
no reduction in wages before Septem-
Der 80, 1920
The men received the additional
guarantee from the government that
no railway workers are 10 receive less
than about Sl2.30 weekly instead of
about $40 paid them before the war.
as long as the cost of living is not less
than 10 per cent above the pre-war
level.
This agreement slaves off the great
est industrial crisis the British nation
has ever known--the worst crisis of
any time, except war, in the past cen
| fury.
! The government has yielded To the
strikers insistence by guaranteeing to
keep up wages.
The rail men yielded by returning to
work pending the stabiliZing of wages.
Meanwhile the crisis in the negoti-
atoms is only postponed until the end
Of this month, but the situation is such
that it is believed an agreement is
likely by that time, in which case the
controversy will be delayed whole
year.
Both sides were mObiliZing the en-
tire nation for the bitterest trades
union struggle known to the English
speaking races. All British union
had prepared to meet Tuesday to de-
clare general strike and the govern
ment was marshalling citizens army
and all civic authorities at the same
time holding back of these the armed
strength of the country.

WILSON ON WAY TO HEALTH.
Presidents Condition Such as to
Cause announcement.

Washington.-The favorable trend
Of President Wilson's condition contin-
ues, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that he is on the road to re-
cOvery.
The president wanted to 60 to work
Sunday, and this constituted another
encouraging sign. He asked Admiral
Grayson Whit the news of the day
was, then requested permission to send
for two of the White House steno-
graphers so he might start in catching
up in his work. But the doctor re-
minded him that it was Sunday, and
the president acquiesced in the doc
tors request that he remain quiet.
The presidents appetite is improv-
ing and he sleeps better than for some
time, which causes his physicians to
express hopes for an early recovery.

FALL AMENDMENTS
MEET WITH DEFEAT
TREATY ADVOCATES ElATED AT
QUICK DECISIVE ACTION
OF SENATE
Thirty-six of Fort>Afive Proposed
Changes Submitted by New Mexico
Senator Swept Aside by Majority
of From IS to %.

WashinSton.-The senate on October
> swept aside in quick succession thir-
ty-siX of the forty-five amendments
which had been written into the docu-
ment by the foreign relations commit
tee.
The smallest majority recorded
against any of the committee propO-
sails was 10, and the largest was %.
All of the amendments considered had
been introduced by Senator Fall, he
publican, New Mexico, and were de-
signed to curtail American participa-
ton, in European settlements result
ing from the war.
OF the nine amendments yet to ne
acted on, six relate to the Shantung
section, two propose to eqnalize vot-
ing power in the league of nations,
and one would limit American repre-
sentation on the PREPARATIONS commits
sion. In the absence of definite agree
ment for disposition of these propO-
sails, senate leaders thought that the
debate might run on for several days
before another rOllcall is taken.
Throughout the voting the Demo-
Gratis presented solid front against
the amendments, except for Senators
Gore of Oklahoma and Thomas of Colo
RADIO. Seventeen Republicans, on the
other hand, lined up against the first
committee proposal to be considered
and most of them stood with the
Democrats on all succeeding rollcalls
Many of them announced they were for
reservations which they believed would
cover the same ground without en-
dangering the treaty.

FRENCH CHAMBER
APPROVES TREATY
SEVENTY-THREE ABSTAIN FROM
VOTING AND FIFTY-THRCE
VOTED AGAINST.
Second Of Great Powers to Approve
the Versailles Peace, Great Britain
Having Already Ratified the
Treaty.

Paris.-The chamber of deputies on
October . ratified the German peace
treaty by vote of 81 to 81 Sew
enty-three members abstained from
voting.
The chamber then took up the treat
les between France and the United
States and France and Great Britain.
The Franco-American and Franco
British treaties were unanimously
ratified
A total of sol votes was cast for
the two treaties.
Ratification of the German peace
treaty by the French chamber of dep
uties by the decisive vote of 80 to
53 may be considered as assuring the
approval of the Versailles peace by
the second of the great powers which
has voted upon 1t.
Great Britain has already by act of
parliament ratified the treaty and the
formal announcement of ratification is
only awaiting the receipt of advices
that Australia, the last of Great
Britain's dominions to act upon it.
has registered it's approval.
The approval of three Of the great
powers. in addition to that Of Ger
many, is needed to put the treaty into
effect.
There seems likely to be halt in
the process Of making the treaty ef-
fective, however, for aside from Great
Britain and France, none Of the pow
ers whose assent would furnish the
necessary third ratification appear
likely of supplying it speedily.
Japan, 1t has been indicated. will
await American action before passing
upon the treaty herself. and the dis
solution Of the Italian parliament, II
seems probable, will defer italian rat
ification until December at least.
A notable feature Of the vote b,

of $40 for ratification. The opposi

As First Victim OF Blacks Led
by Negro Farmer.

Helena. Ark.-A statement has been
made on the recent riots by T.. NJ.
Allen, OF the committee Of seven, au.
thorized by local Officers and Cover
nor Brough to investigate the trouble,
charging that the affair was an or
ganlzed negro uprising, fostered by a
negro who preyed on 1.-The ignorance
and superstition of IA race of children
for monetary gains"
Mr.. Allen, who was one of twenty
Ter hearing confessions. examining cir
culars and other evidence procured by
state and military officers in connec-
fion with the work OF the committee,
issued statement TO explain what
the committee had found to he the sit
uation leading To the killing of five
white men and upwards of score of
negroes.
The present trouble with the ne
groes in Phillips county is not a race
riot, according to Mr. Allen. 1t is a
deliberately planned insurrection of
the negroes against the whites. direct
ed by an organization known as the
Progressive Farmers and Household
Union Of America" established for the
purpose Of banding negroes together
for the killing of white people.
This union was started by Robert
l.. Hill. negro twenty-six years old
Of Winchester, Ark, who saw In 1t an
opportunity of making easy money.
He had been farmer all his life, but
lately had been posing as "private
detective doing work In this and all
foreign countries"
He started his first union work In
April of this year. He organized the
Ratio Lodge" in May of this year. He
told the darkies that he was an agent
Of the government and because the
senator's and representatives in Wash
ington were white men and In sym.
patty with the white men Of the
south, 1t was impossible for the ne
grOes to get the rights that have been
promised them for service In the army
and SO the government had called into
existence this organization which
would be supported by the government
in defense of the negroes against the
white people. He told them it was
necessary for all members of the union
to arm themselves in preparation for
the day when they should be called
upon to attack their white oppressors.
Men were charged $3.50 for entrance
fees and women so cents. The slogan
of the organization is I'VE battle for
our rights" The password of all the
negroes was 1--WE have just begun"
Every negro who Joined these lodges
was given to understand that ultimate.
~ he would be called upon to kill
white people. UnQuestiOnably, the

had not been entirely perfected. and
