AGAINST EMPLOYMENT
 OF WOMEN AT NIGHT

Washington, Nov. 20.-Revision of the Berne convention of 1906 prohibit ing the employment of-Women at night was recommended today by the Inter- national Labor Conference. The pEin- seiple of the agreement was endorsed, but changes were advocated to meet the demands of the industrial and so- cial evolution during the thirteen years Of it's existence.
 Under the recommendations the agreement would be made applicable to industrial undertakings where less than ten women were employed. Specific definition of the term indus trial undertaking" was made incum- bent upon each contractin state by the agreement and would include mines and quarries and manufacturing industries.
 An exception to the provisions of the convention was recommended for certain Oriental and smaller coun- tries where the operation of the agreement may be, suspended in such industrial work as if specified by the governments, provided the convention requirements are made compulsory al- ways for factories.
 Louis Guerin. French representative of the employers group, tried to have an amendment adopted providing for an earlier beginning of women's work day, but it was rejected and the a. m. limit remained.

PRINCE OF WALES MAKES
 VISIT TO WEST POINT

New York, Nov. 20.-The Prince of Wales spent a comparatively idle day today. There was nothing on his pro- gramme except a visit to West Point, where he inspected the cadets. a wig orous hour at squash. a dinner on the British battle cruiser Renown and 8 theater party. All the rest of the tine was his own. a
 The trip to West Point was the big event of the day and occupied the ma jor portion of it. Accompanied by Major General O'Ryan. commander of the New York state troops. and tho members of his staff. the prince, dress ed in the uniform of colonel of tha Welsh Guards, boarded a special train at the Grand Central Station.
 At Garrison. the little river station where he alighted to take the ferry for West Point, a very pretty picture was presented. The younger school children of the village. ranging in aga from 10 to years lined the path from the station to the ferryboat. Ina girls were on one side and the boys on the other and alternate small handa grasped American and British flags, while the boys used their disengagea hands to perform a highly creditabla military salute. The salute wal punctiliously returned by the prince, who stopped and chatted for a few moments with the children's teacher.
 At West Point the prince was re- ceiyed by a cavalry escort headed by Brigadier General McArthur. the com mandant.
 The scene on the historic heights was more than usually brilliant for ths sun shone in a cloudless sky and tip- ped the gleaming swords and accou- trements of the faultlessly marching cadets with added splendor.

 FIGHT, IN THE SENATE

Alabama, who took q conspicuous part in the adrninisfra : tion's light for ratification, called at the Waite House. today. and. alth0t,ga they did not see President Wilson are understood to have left with him their estimates of the possibilities of com promise.
 Afterward Senator Hitchcock issued a statement pointing out that 80 sena tors in all voted yesterday for rat;fi- cation n some form. and expressing a belief that the e4 necessary to ratifv would get together ultimately.
 l Tonight the democratic leader had draWn up a net set of compromise reservations which he. did Eot make public but which are understood to propose principally modification of the preamble requirement in the for{ eign relations committee draft which would require. the other powers to ac- 8cept, affirmatively all the senate's Qualifications.
 Everything indicated. that the ad- Hmin1sttation had no intention of let- ting the treaty fight lapse, even during the interval before Dec. |. and that there was no thought of abandoning the treaty and negotiating new one,
 The leaders are mindful that some or the senators most bitterly opposing the treaty openly haze expressed hone that the senate will not act until the people have spoken in next years cam paign. Senator. Berah, republican. Idaho. has announced in the senate on two occasions that unless his party declares against the treaty he will part company with it.

 Let a great political party, and the republican party has been a great party in this country, go before the country with a simulated issue of that kind, and there is no question as to what will be the verdict of the people am not fearful that it will be mis- understood by tho American people They know who stand for ratification of this treaty of peace and who wish to destroy it'
 If those on the other side of tAe chamber are agreed to accept such . thing as that. replied Senator Hard ing, republican. Ohio, well and good If you are determined that a minority of the senate shai follow the same blind insistence that characterized the action of the executive in negotiating warn you now you are certain to ge down in defeat. welcome the moment when We can go to the people of the United States on the issue"
 No formal expression came today from the mild reservation republicans though it was said for them that they would be willing to talk compromise SC long as the reservations framed by the senate majority were not impaired

and dismissed injunction proceedings sought to enable Dryfoes. Blum and Company to remove; whiskey from bond, and Jacob Ruppert.. a brewer. to manufacture beer containing more than one-half of one per cent. alcohol.
 We say congress has no authority to prohibit the manufacture of non-in- toxicating beverages" said MT: Root, appearing in the Ruppert case. "We will go further and say that it has no authority intermeddle- in the man. ufacture of intoxicating liquors.
 MT. Root said he totally denied" the governments contentious that tho acts were validly enacted under con gress' war powers.
 "The declaration of war is not tho emergency that brings. into play the war powers of congress" continued MT. Root. "All the patriotic impulses of our people have been to give tho widest latitude of power to the leg islative and executive branches of our government such great power was never exercised by any rctentate. But it is not human nature to give up power and the deadliest perll of 9 free nation is the tendency of power to en croach upon the rights and liberties of a free people. When power is no longer limited. we are no longer free"
 During a discussion as to the exist ence of the emergency. Justice Pitney remarked:
 "The enemy hasn't heard of our terms of peace as laid down by the senate"
 There is no controversy in the sen- ate as to the terms of peace. but over collateral agreement among the as- sociated nations and that only" hast | fly retorted Mr. Root.
 Levy Mayer of Chicago of counsel for the Kentucky Distilleries and l Warehouse Company. and Walter c. Hoyes, counsel for New York dealers in suits involving the removal of dis titled spirits from bonded warehouses; argued that whiskey was property and l that the wartime prohibition act was confiscatory. While the act may have 1 been constitutional when enacted. tirs passing of the emergency. they con- tended. rendered it invalid.
 l Denials of these contentious were made by Solicitor General King who
 said the war time prohibition act pro vided only for a temporary suspension

STEEL MANUFACTURERS
 FEAR COAL SHORTAGE

Pittsburgh, Pa. Nov. 20. ASteel man ufacturers today. the first time since the coal strike was called, expressed concern over the immediate. future of the steel trade if the mines in this dis trict were not soon reopened.
 They pointed out that about 52 per cent. of the bituminous coal mined in the central competitive field came from the western and central Pennsylvania fields, much of which is used in steel mills and furnaces about Pittsburgh. The consumption of coal by the aver age large steel company is fully 10000 tons a day. When the mines closed there was an abundance of fuel in sight, but for about three weeks no union mines have been operating and unorganized fields have been able to produce only a comparatively small proportion of the tonnage required to meet the needs of the community.
 We have been drawing upon re- serve supplies. said the representative of one important Independent steel company. "and they are not going to last forever" --s.

TREATY WITH GERMANY
 REGARDLESS OF u. 8. DELAY

Paris. Nov. 20.-While the supreme council did not positively decide today to put the peace treaty with Germany into effect on December 1. it's members all agreed 1t would be desirable to do SO. An effort will be made to have all preparations for enforcement of the treaty completed by that date and it viii probably be put into effect very early in December, regardless of the failure Of the United States to ratify the treaty.
 The American delegates declare themselves still hopeful that com promise will be arranged in the sen ate. but the French. and British peace delegates are apparently less optinais- tic. and inclined to prepare to carry out the treaty without American CO., operation. Suggestions that another treaty more to the liking of the Eu- -opean allies be negotiated apparently are not seriously taken.
