the chamber of deputies today, Pre-
mied Clemenceau. after declaring
that the league of nations could ex-
ist even though rejected by the
United States senate, asserted that
it was precisely because the French

an insufficient guarantee for some
years to come that the protective
treaties OF alliance between France,
Great Britain and the United States
were drawn up.
The possibility of non-ratifcation
of the peace treaty and the cove

The third day of the great steel
strike passed without either capital
or labor having made any apparent
material gains. Last night atten-
ton was being focused in Wash
ington, where the inquiry into the
industrial struggle by the senate
labor committee is to open today.
From their respective headquar-
ters, industrial leaders and directors
of the strike issued their usual con-
flicting statements, which left still
in doubt the exact number of work.

Z. Foster, secretary of the strikers

turned and was flowing into the
mills.
After Wavering Strikers.
According to reports from Pitts
burgh, where union labor leaders
held a general parley to consider
conduct of the strike, managers of
the plants are seeking now to take
the offensive. Not content with
merely holding what forces remain
with them, they are said to be try
ing to induce wavering strikers to
return. On the other hand, labor's
recruiting forces are not inactive, as
shown by the fact that organizers
from the mine workers union have
been called to reinforce agents Of
the steel workers union in enrolling
nonunion workers.
As in Pittsburgh, the situation in
Chicago also was clouded by con-
flicting reports. The industry in
that section, though crippled by the
closing of many plants, was by no
means tied up and company Off
cials claimed additions had been
made to the reduced force with
