RESTRICTION OF
Immigration IS
ASKED BY LABOR
Bitter Debate Precedes Ac-
ton Usurpation of Pow
ers by Judiciary Denounced
tBy Associated Press1

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. June 19.-
American Federation of Labor, in an
nual convention here, adopted today a
resolution favoring the restriction Of
immigration during the reconstruction
period.
In a debate continuing longer than
two hours the radical element bitterly
assailed the idea, while the conserva-
tives, led by Secretary Frank Morri
son, insisted 1T was necessary as a
means of protecting American labor
from exploitation by vested interests. "
The convention adopted also reso-
luton condemning 'usurpations by the
judiciary of the legislative and execu-
tive powers of the government" In
the resolution the judiciary was con-
demned as being "autocratic, despotic
and tyrannical," and it was recon-
mended that organized labor should
disregard injunctional DEGREES of
courts on the grounds that such de
crees violated rights guaranteed under
the constitution.

LEAGUE OPPONENTS
HOLD CONFERENCE
TO PLAN ACTION
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Plans to
force a showdown on the league of
nations in the senate before signing
of the peace treaty at Versailles were
further considered today at confer
ence of league opponents.
Several proposal were under ccnsid-
Grafton. One would call for test
vote in the fight over Senator Knox S
resolution proposing to serve notice
that the senate cannot accept the
league covenant as now incorporated
in the treaty. Another suggests pas
sage of resolution declaring the war
at an end, and still another proposes
of those opposing the league.
It is not considered likely that a
definite course will be decided on un.
til tomorrow. League opponents do
not hope for vote on adoption OF
the Knox resolution, but they believe
they can get it into such a parliamen,
tary situation that test vote can be
had. The round robin plan is held
in reserve as a last resort, should the
league supporters block all other eff
forts for an expression of senate
/ opinion before the German delegates
give their decision on the treaty Mon
| day
Those supporting the league will
fight any attempt for record vote
at this time, contending 1t would be
misleading and would constitute un
due interference with the peace con
| ference.
No general debate on the subject
was expected during today's session
but Senator Thomas, democrat, OF
Colorado had given notice he woult
speak against the Knox resolution be

SWING IN SENTIMENT
tBy Associated Press)


PARIS, June German feeling to-
ward the peace treaty appears to be
taking more favorable trend. AL
though the peace delegation headed by
Count Won Brockdorf. .RantZau is rep
resented as decidedly opposed to ac-
ceptance of the revised allied terms.
the latest dispatches from Weimar
where the German cabinet and nation.
al assembly are considering the treaty.
reflect different viewpoint.
The majority Socialists, the present
dominant political force in the Ger
man republic. are declared in these
adVices to be more favorably inclined
toward the treaty than at first, while
the clericals and the democrats of the
left wing are reported to be swinging
IN the same direction. One report
from Berlin represents the people of
the capital as resigned to the future,
desiring only to see the treaty signed
and the suspense ended.
Minor Affairs Considered
In the meantime, however, rumors of
an exciting nature are printed in Lon
| oon newspapers, it being said that the
brltlsh grand fleet is preparing to sail
| on short notice, for German waters
and that British dirigibles are already
near the German coast, If not over
German soil.
Only minor affairs are being taken
up by minor officials of the peace con-
ference, in the absence of President
Wilson in Belgium. Efforts are being
made to adjust the railway communi-
| cations between Fiume and Triest and
| Vienna to the satisfaction of Italy,
iJugo-Slavta and Czecho-Slovakia- This
problem seems quite difficult and may
be considered by the league of ma
tions.
RANTZAU SHOWS ANGER
4 WEIMAR, Wednesday, June 1S.-
The special train bringing Count Won
Brockdorf- and his colleagues
from Versailles reached Weimar and
was run into a siding shortly after
midnight this morning. Government
troops which were arriving to
strengthen the city's protection were
marching through the dark streets to
their quarters when the train rolled
in. Suddenly the silence was broken
by the chatter Of machine guns. The
origin Of the firing was not known
until 1t was learned that Spartacan
and communist prisoners had attacked
the castle where members of the
government are quartered.
Count Won Brockdorff-Ran re-
NAMED on board his train until after
breakfast. The delegation was grimly
angry at the hostile attack made upon
1t at Versailles, in which a consider
able number, instead of three as at
first reported, were more or less Sc.
riously injured. The Italian and
French officers who accompanied the
German delegation as far as Cologne,
were profuse in their apologies for the
incident, and said the police at Yer
sailles had been unreliable since the
strike, but the German delegates sus.
pected the attack to have been delib.
erately planned.

What is calculated to give Lafay-

day and stated to the writer that he

is presenting the lease to the land
owner with the guarantee to develop

erty. Hixson is paying all expenses
of surveying, and other incidental
expenses necessary to the develop
ment of absolutely clear titles to the
property.
Mr.. Hixson also stated that great
teachings and seepages of oil were
forming heavy films on the water,
and that vast quantities of salt APP
pear on the surface of the earth, all
of which, he says, are genuine indi-
cations of oil, and it is believed that
it. can be developed in great quanti-
ties at reasonable depth and a lit
tie cost. We might add here that
Mr.. Hixson is an expert prospector
and mineralogist, and he knows what
he is talking about.
1t has developed without question
of doubt that rich mines of mangani-
ferrous iron in paying quantities can
be had on these lands and Mr.. Hix-
son stated that efforts to get rail-
road built in that section were being
made, and that the development thus
far were satisfactory. 1t is believed
that within the next six months oil
wells will have been developed and
that the new railroad will be in
course Of construction Hixson stat
ed that within the next year oil in
paying quantities would be hauled
on the new railroad or piped from
these fields

The proposed route of the new
railroad is from Tupelo, Pontotoc,

Believe Germany VIII Refuse
The majority of the members of
the peace conference believe Ger
many will not sign the peace treaty,
according to Marcel Hutin of the
Echo de Paris, who made canvass
of number of the leading personal
ties of the peace making body. Only
one of these leaders, M. Hutin de-
clares, expressed the opinion the
Germans would accept the revised
treaty. This member, however, is
one whose opinion, the writer says,
he holds in the greatest esteem.
The delegate in question, M. Hutin
explains, based his opinion that the
Germans would sign the treaty on the
fact that they have knowledge that
at yesterdays meeting of the council
of four complete agreement was
reached on the consequences which
would follow Germany's refusal OF
the peace proffered. They were a.
ware, the delegate pointed out, that
peace would then be imposed by
force in accordance with President
Wilson's Baltimore speech, and that
orders had been given for an allied
army of 100000 men, supported by
heavy artillery of hitherto unreveal.

Confronted by such realities which
alone count with them, the German
government and the national assem-

treaty.

WEIMAR, Germany, June H.
On the face of what it has so often
and so unequivocally declared, the
Ebert government cannot sign the
revised peace treaty.
If the national assembly votes ac-
ceptance-the vote will probably be
taken Friday--it means Reputation
of the Ebert regime and substitution
therefore by an independent radical
(Soclallstl government is inevitable.
The independents, according to all
present indications would sign with

There is no sign, however of the
government having lost its majority
backing in the assembly. The pre-
diction is advanced therefore, that
Germany's answer on Saturday will
be mo"
That in short, is the situation,
based upon the minutest canvas of
official opinion here.
Four Reasons Not To Sign
There are four reasons why the
Ebert government and its peace dele
gates, especially Count Won Brock
dorH- -Rantzau, cannot sign the re-
vised document unless they turn a
complete somersault. These are that
their four main counter demands on
which, by the positiveness of their
previous declarations they burned all
bridges behind them, are rejected in
the new pact, namely:
First-They said Germany must
be a member of the League of Ma
tons from the moment Of signature
The reply says this is impossible
and gives only a conditional proof OF
admittance in the "early future"
Second They said surrender OF
the Saar Valley, even if temporary
was impossible.
The reply says the original clause
on this matter stands.
! Third They said they could not
sign peace without knowing first ths
definite amount Of reparations. They
