Chicago Employers Threaten
to Keep 100000 Men Out
, Of Jobs Unless They
Give In.

Chicago, July l7.--Unless the TO-.
600 carpenters, architectural iron
workers, fathers and bridge and
structural iron workers who are at
present on a strike return to work
Friday and agree to obey the pro-
visions of their wage contracts with
employers. building operations in
Chicago will be halted indefinitely
and more than 100000 men will be
idle.
This drastic method of dealing
with the building strike situation
was decided upon by the executive
committee of the Building Construc-
ton Employers association of Chi
cago, which discussed the subject
for several hours behind closed
doors before announcing the action
taken. Officials of the association
declared that their industry has been
seriously interfered with for several
months because of the frequent
strikes of various unions and that
recently the situation became intol-
cradle.
They charge that the different I'M
ions involved refused to be bound
by joint trade agreements covering
the question of wages and hours,
and that as a result of the frequent
walkouts, contractors have sustained
heavy financial losses and that own
ers have been deferred from award
ing contracts for extensive building
projects.

MISSCOWELL TO
RETURN HOME BY
WAY OF ENGLAND
Jefferis Succeeds in Getting
Passport of Red Cross
Worker Amended.
BY E. c. SNYDER.
(St0ff CNrresnOnds0t nmahu Re

SSsoAi correspondent OmuHu beep
( Washington Bureau. Omaha Bee
Washington, D. C., July H.
Through the personal effort of Rep
resentative Jeffries, the State depart
| ment today cabled the American en-
bassy in Paris to amend the pass
port of Miss Mona Cowell, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Cowell,
of Omaha, to permit her to return
to the United States via England.
Miss Cowell, who has been en-
gagged in Red Cross work in France,
went under the usual passport to her
destination in Europe, the passport
reading that she would return di-
rectly to home in the States from
France. All Red Cross passports are
wired subject to this direct return.
When Congressman Jefferis took
up the matter with the State depart
ment, asking that the passport be
amended at the request of Miss
Cowell, who is at the Hotel o.
borne in Paris, officials informed
the congressman that it was the
policy of the department to have
female war workers return to this
country direct and not spend days
in visiting other countries of Eu-
rope when their work was conclud-
ed. They even went so far as to
say that they did not want female
Red Cross workers or other war
workers to enter upon art or other
studies in Europe while holding war
workers. passports.
Then it occurred TO the congress-
man that Miss Cowell desired to
visit her fathers relatives in Eng
land and sail from there, and with
this explanation instructions were
cabled Paris permitting Miss Cow
ell to visit England before return
ing to the United States.

Senator McCumber is the only re-
publican member of the foreign re-
lations committee who has favored
the league and it is understood Mr..
Wilson talked over with him COM
mission action on the treaty and the
general situation on the republican
side of the senate. Senator Nelson
never has made public declaration
for or against the treaty. To all of
his callers the president is said to
have reiterated his opposition to
reservations of any character in
senate ratification of the treaty.
The president Friday will continue
his talks with senators inclined to
be friendly toward the treaty pro-
visions. though it is expected that
later he will seek conference with
virtually every republican senator,
including those who have most Bit
terly opposed ratification. Senators
Kellogg, Minnesota, and Kenyon,
Iowa, both of whom have kept open
minds on the treaty, have been in
vited to call on the president Friday
morning and Senators McNary, Ore

Kansas, who has taken no definite
stand in the matter.
