England Acts To Down Sim Fein
 Move In Ireland
By the Associated Press.l )

DUBLIN, Sept. F. = Following closely upon a speech delivered by Wis count French, lord lieutenant and governor general of Ireland at Bel fast Thursday, in which il was de- clared that the British government would not hesitate to resort to dras- tic steps to maintain law and order in Ireland, the authorities today pro- claimed the suppression of the Sim Fein parliament and Sim Fein or ganizations throughout Ireland.
 A series Of raids and searches for arms and documents were made in the local Sim Fein headquarters in num- erous towns in addition to Dublin, among them Cork. Belfast, Galway and Londonderry. Two prominent Sim Fein members of the house of com mons were arrested here and the resi- denees of many persons of the Sim Fein leanings in Dublin and other places were searched
 There were slight disorders in few places, but no reports of serious re- sistance to the raiders have been re- ceived. A detective was shot and in- stant1y killed in Dublin.
 In the raids some arms and explo- sives were found. Large quantities of documents and Sim F'ein literature were seized, notably in Dublin, where every copy of the report of Frank P. Walsh and Edward F. Dunne, who in vestigated conditions in Ireland in be- half of the Irish societies, fell into the hands of the authorities

AYERS VETO POWER
 OFFSETS ENGLAND
 VOTES IN ASSEMBLY
[RepubIIcan A. ?. Leased wIrel

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept 12.-Reply- ink here today to objections that Great Britain would have a preponderance of voting power in the league of nations assembly, President Wilson said any possible danger on that score was re- moved by the fact that decisions must be unanimous.
 The speech here was the second the president made during the day. He spoke this morning at Couer d'Alene Idaho, making an invasion of the state represented by United States Senator Borah in the senate. At Couer d'Alene the tent in which he spoke was not en- tierly filled. Here in the armory every seat was taken.
 The league of nations assembly, the president declared, was largely de- batting body" and seldom would act or important questions and when it did the United States with it's one vote would have an absolute veto" under the rule requiring a unanimous vote.
 There was only one case in which the assembly could decide an important question, he said and that when such a question was unanimously referred to it by the council. The assembly alss must act unanimously, he added, Sc that in either council or assembly the one vote of the United States would constitute a veto power.
 The unanimous rule, added the presi- dent, seemed to him the only weakness of the league, but it was weakness in the direction of throwing a safeguard around national sovereignty
 Mr. Wilson also discussed at length proposed reservations to the treaty and asked for it's unqualified acceptance.
 He asked the republicans present not "to think of 1920 when thinking of the redemption of the world" adding thai he himself did not for moment do so
 The president, speaking of the diff. culty of defining the Monroe doctrine said, 'Inasmuch as you can not oi would not define the Monroe doctrine at least I would not because do not know how soon we may want t, extend 1t inasmuch as we do no want to define it, what more could vol say than that nothing in that instru- ment shall impair the validity of tn.

OFFER IF BOSTON
 !. POLICE TO RESUME: WORK |S REFUSED
[RepubIlcan A. P Leased wirel

BOSTON. Sept. 12.-F'rank McCar- thy. New England organizer of the American Federation of Labor an- nounced tonight that the policemen's s union had accepted the suggestion of Samuel Gompers that they return to work and await the outcome of the labor conference at the White House on October s.
 When Police Commissioned Curtis was informed of the action of the union, he said he had issued orders this afternoon that no strikers apply ing for reinstatement should be taken back. He said that he could not change his order before hearing from the attorney general. This statement was interpreted to mean that the at torney general would be asked to de- eide whether the patrolmen were "em- ployes" who had a right to strike or officers" of the government who had no such night.
 MT. Mccarthy read Mr. Gompers telegrams, sent to him and to Mayor Peters, at meeting of the policemen's s union tonight. After the meeting he issued the following statement:
 The members of the Boston Police mems Union have accepted the sug gestion of Samuel Gompers president of the American Federation of Labor and instructed their committee to act in accordance"
 Whether the strike could be settled in this manner was problematical to- night. Mr Gompers' suggestion was that the men return to their posts upon information that the enforce ment of the orders (forbidding them to affiliate with outside organizations) has been postponed" In his telegram to the mayor, of which he sent dupli cate to Governor Coolidge tonight, he asked that enforcement of this order be deferred until after the White House conference. It is expected that the matter will be discussed tomorrow when the governor has consented tc meet Mir. Mccarthy and officers of the Boston Central Labor Union.

Seeks Passage Of Measure To
 Guide Packers

WASHINGTON, Sept i2-Excoria- ton of the "big five packers was the burden of a three hour argument, made before the senate agriculture commit tee today by Edward L. Burke of Omaha, Nebraska. vice president of the American National Livestock associa- ton, who asked the immediate pass age of the Kendrick and Kenyon bills for federal regulation of the packing industry.
 What the big packers need,'' Mr Burke declared, "is common sense enough to accept fair federal regula- tion The trouble in the industry is that they think themselves bigger than the government and the end of the course will be to send them straight ts destruction"
 Cattle associations in almost every state west of the Mississippi river, hs asserted, stood solidly behind provi- sions of the Kenyon bill. and wanted the packers divorced from ownership of stockyards, their refrigerator cars made common carriers and the opera tion of their business put under federal license.
 A defense of the packers, however came from other witnesses.

were not enthuSlaStlc.

Taken from the memorandum Of the conversation, dictated. he said, while it was fresh in his mind, Bullitt quoted the secretary on many points, saying that MT. Lansing opposed the award of Shantung to Japan, that he considered the league thoroughly bad, that the large nations would pay little attention to the small nations, and that the world had been arranged according to the desires of the big nations at the peace conference.
 The most sensational statement
 attributed by the witness to the
 secretary of state was that If the
 senate and the American people
 knew what the treaty meant if
 would be defeated.r Senator Knox
 really would understand the treaty,
 Mir. Lansing said, according to the
 witness and "Mr. Lodge would, but
 Mir. Lodges position would become
 purely political"
 There was no democratic senator in attendance when this testimony was given, nor at other times during the hearing and nobody took up the eudgels for the American commissioner
 No Denial by Lansing
 When the news of BulIitt's testimony SPledu dpoul t1S IdPftai " was SAbSr- sivey discussed, and senators said they were anxious to hear from Mir. Lansing. When some of them endeavored to Teach him at the state department they found he was out of town, and an As sociated Press dispatch later from Wa tertown, N. Y., said he declined to make any statement, and had gone fishing.
 Bulitt, formerly newspaper corre- spondent, went to Paris with President Wilson's party and was attached to the mission. He was summoned to testify before the treaty was reported out by the committee, but was in the Maine woods on a camping trip and the notice did not reach him until a few days ago. This was explained by Chairman Lodge to show why the hearing apparently had been re-opened.
 A wealth of information. regarded as more or less confidential, was given by the witness during his three hour statement. In February last he was sent by Secretary Lansing to Petro- grad to bring back from the soviet leaders statement showing the exact terms on which they would agree to peace. This report, which told among other things of good order"S estab- lished by the Bolsheviki, Lenines de- sire for peace, his readiness to com promise at many points in order to ob- tain it, and his promise that all for eign debts of the soviet government would be paid, never was made pub

 When he touched the case of Ire land he grouped it with that of other small nationalities. subject of the var ious allies Not one, he said, had re- ceived it's freedom at the hands of the peace conference. Delegates of Egypt were imprisoned by the British. he declared, when they sought to go to Paris. Both they and delegates of Ireland were refused even an oppor tunity to appear before the peace council.
 "A conference that refuses to hear the delegations of subject peoples of the allies he said, is not fit to set tie the affairs of any people.
 Senator Borah read a part of article 10 which pledges the members of the league to protect the territorial integ- l rity and preserve the political inde- pendence of other members, as against external aggression.
 There are 300.000,000 people in the nation which will comprise this | league" he said. and there are 800, 1 900, 900 subject peoples which would be under it's control We are asked to 1 join in the infamous bargain to keeI l those S00,D00,000 in subjection.
