DEMOCRATS FEAR REJECTION OF
TREATY UNLESS PRESIDENT
WILSON WILL COMPROMISE

The following news dispatch was sent out
from Washington, September 15
Impotence with the stubborn refusal of
President Wilson to accept adequate re-
servations to the League of Nations cove
nant was manifested by several Democratic
leaders today as the fight over the peace
treaty with Germany entered upon its final
stage.
Fear that the President will be defeated
more disastrously than now appears likely
is the basis of the Democratic irritation
over the course Mr. Wilson is pursuing.
They perceive that the Presidents western
trip has failed not only to overwhelm the
opposition, but to make single vote for the
covenant, while Democratic senators have
been going over to the reservationists al
most daily.
The first test of strength will come on
Senator Hiram Johnson's amendment to
equalize American and British voting power
in the league, but it probably will not be
reached for ten days or more.

SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES

An indication of how things will go should
the United States enter the League of Ma
tons may be seen in notice to the United
States government from the Spanish gov
eminent, requesting the United States to
withdraw from Santo Domingo
The editorial writer of the Chicago Trib-
mne refers to this withdrawal request as
follows
Behold little old Spain, presenting to the
United States government the first fruits of
the peace league, before the league is quite
Matched. This country is requested by Spain
to cease its occupation of Santo Domingo
Spaniards think the country would be hap
pier under the old government, with the
favorite national sport, killing off one ruler
and setting up another. Foreign nations
evidently imagine that under the peace
league this nation will welcome advice and
instructions about running this continent.
1t is to be hoped the foreign nations are
mistaken"

EXAMINATION OF SCHOOL
CHILDREN NOT COMPULSORY
in ILLINOIS

CHICAGO, Sept. s. To the Editor of
The Post. Sir When will the people Of
our city awaken to the use1essness of the
school doctors and their rights to prevent
these physicians examining their children if
they do not wish them examined?
On the first day of school was in a
large school and saw hundreds of children
standing together. After the children had
been mingling for hours some were exam
ined. The kindergarten section was not
looked after physically until the following
day, although all these little tots had been
brought by their mothers for enrolment on
the first opening day. If any contagious
disease had existed it could have spread all
over the school before any doctor would
have been able to detect it.
Every parent should realize that there
is no law in Illinois which will turn over
to any doctor assigned to any school his
child for physical examination, and if there
were more protests this thing would come
to an end. Yours truly,
A. M. TURNER.

UNITED STATES, GREATEST
DRUG-CONSUMING NATION

We are one of the worst countries in the
world for the use of narcotics, and, until
December 1914, when the Harrison law
was passed, consumed more habit forming
drugs than China herself, according to Mr..
Walter A. Davenport, in the New York Sun.
During the five years previous to 1914, we
imported 4o1 O43 pounds of opium costing
more than $18,O0O,0OO and used the cocaine
product of over million pounds of coca
leaves at dollar a pound. Only 10 per
cent. Of the total production of cocaine was
used legitimately, the balance corrupting,
for the most part, boys and girls of seven
teen to twenty-five. In New York City es-
Inmates of drug habitues have doubled with

GREAT STEEL STRIKE,
SEPTEMBER %

WASHINGTON, Sept 1O.-A strike
against the United States Steel Corporation
effective September y, was called today by
the presidents of the twenty-four interna-
tional unions in the steel industry.
This decision was made by unanimous
vote late today, when it became clear that
the last hope of the steel workers success
in gaining a conference with Judge Gary
had been removed by the failure of the
Presidents efforts to induce the steel cor
poration to meet the representatives of the
unions.
The labor leaders said that President Will
sons reply to an urgent as we'll as final
telegram sent him last night was unsatis-
factory and that no alternative was left but
to comply with the demands of the workers
and to call the strike.
There is every indication that the steel
strike will be the largest and most far
reaching strike since that of the United
Mine Workers during the Roosevelt Admin
istration.
The labor leaders say that 100 per cent
of the workers who are already organized
within the ranks of the steel corporation
will answer the call to strike, and that IS
per cent of the other workers will go out
with them.
Their claims are that upwards of 100000
of the 100000 workers in the steel industry
will go out They deny Judge Gary's quoted
statement that only 10 per cent of the steel
workers are organized.
The strike will affect not only the mills
and industries embraced in the United
States Steel Corporation proper but also the
so-called independents and subsidiaries, such
as the Bethlehem Steel Works and the
Lackawanna.
An order directing steel workers in the
Chicago district to suspend work next Mon
day was issued September IS by Theodore
Wind, president of the South Chicago
Trades Assembly, Mr.. Wind said the order,
which affected 10000 workers, was issued
on authority of the steel workers associa-
ton and would not be rescinded.
