PRESIDENT CHALLENGES SENA
TORS TO PRODUCE BETTER
PEACE PACT.
ASKSNATION'S
ASSURES MOTHERS THAT THEIR
SONS WILL NEVER CROSS
SEAS AGAIN.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.


Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 5.-Urging
the nation to stand back of him in his
fight to save the League of Nations,
and assuring cheering thousands that
the Senate would be forced to sign the
treaty, President Wilson scored his
opponents and reiterated his belief
that the rights of small nations would
be protected The President challenged
senatorial opposition to produce a bet
ter covenant than he had brought to
America or Immediately ratify.
Mr.. Wilson said he could face the
mothers of the nation with confidence,
because "he had given them an assur-
ance in the League of Nations that
their sons would never again face the
necessity of crossing the seas"
In referring to the war, the Presi
dent said: The League of Nations is
the only thing that can prevent the
recurrence of this dreadful catastro-
phe and redeem our promises" The
crowds repeatedly cheered him when
he asserted that he was an American
first, and would always bear in mind
the aims and aspirations of his own
people.
He assured the nation that the
treaty in no way encroached upon the
rights or domestic policy of the coun-
| try. Its central idea, he said, was
that nations do not consist of their
government, but of their peoples. The
President said he was astonished by
many of the statements made concern
| ing the treaty, and declared that many
of his opponents displayed absolute
| ignorance" in their discussion of it.
But my opponents in the Senate
must and will pass the treaty. / am
sure l will win in this because their
cause is weak
The League of Nations, he declared,
was formed in fulfillment of the prom
Use that the United States was fighting
this war to lend business of that sort
forever. Not to establish the League,
he said, would have been unfaithful to
those who had died.
Besides, the President said, the
treaty tears away" the chains of op-
preston and gives small nationalities
the right to live their own lives.
That" he said, was the American
position, and l was glad to fight for
| it,"
The President praised the treaty
provision providing for an interna-
tional labor organization, which will
hold its first meeting in Washington
next month. He declared the meeting
would be held whether the treaty had
been ratified by the Senate by that
| time or not.

RAIL STRIKE AT END
TIEUP IN WEST BROKEN BY
ACTION OF HINES.
VOTE TO RETURN TO POSITIONS
Members of "Big Four" On Sympa-
thetie Wakout, Follow Yardmen
When Ballot Is Taken.

Los Angeles.-The 1000 switchmen
and yardmen who had been on strike
here for several days returned to
work Saturday morning. A vote on
whether or not TO return to work was
taken at mass meeting which was
addressed by A. f. Whitney, interna-
tional vice president of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen. A great
majority of those present favored re-
suming work.
This was followed by the four local
orotherhoods, trainmen, conductors,
engineers and tiremen, voting by a
two-thirds majority to return to work
at the same time.
The members of the four railway
brotherhoods had been on strike here
for more than a week, following a
walkout of yardmen in sympathy with
a strike of trainmen of the Pacific
Electric Urban system.
The action of the men brought to
an end railroad tieup without pre-
cedent in the history of the west. 1t
caused cancellation of transcontinental
trains, left many points in California
without mails for days and threatened
a water famine at desert points de-
pendent on railroad tank cars for their
supplies of that fluid. Threat of Di-
rector General of Railroads Hines to
operate the roads regardless of the
strike is believed to have had much
| to do with the men returning to their
Jobs.

of them, and to curtail the power of

collect Germany's reparation bill.

Battle Forest Fires.

Missoula, Mont.-Five thousand men,
composing the fire-tighting force of the
federal forest service, are waging
battle against hundreds of forest fires
sweeping over Montana and northern
Idaho, with no prospect of controlling
the flames further than to save what
ever towns may be in their path until
rain intervenes. This estimate of the
situation was made at forest service
headquarters here where it was said
that despite the refusal of federal
troops to aid in the fight against the
flames, no shortage of men is feared,
civilian recruits filling the daily
vacancies in the ranks of the fighters.

parcel post, but the policy of making

Berlin.-That any possibility of
averting a coalless winter is regarded
as a forlorn hope, is indicated by re-

Victims of Propaganda.

Washington, D. C.-Persons buying
clothing and other articles now for next
year because they think prices will be
higher are victims of a mischievous
propaganda, and are only helping to
keep prices high, according to Attor-
ney General Palmer. There seems to
be an organized propaganda promoted
by dealers to frighten persons into
making purchases now that ordinarily
would not be made until next year."
he said. I'VE are being told that
prices will be higher next year and
that we can never buy this and that
again at the price now prevailing.
II do not put any faith in such
alarmist predictions. l believe that
the price of almost every necessity
of life will be cheaper next year than
this. Increased production is going to
effect that result"
