MISSOULA. Mont, Aug. S0-A forest fire on Willow Creek, in the Missoula forest about twenty miles from Phil lipsburg, Montana, today, crossed con trol lines and spread rapidly and threatened ranches in the Flint Val ley. according to information at dis trict forest service headquarters hera today
 Several small fires have sprung up in Western Montana during the last few days, it was stated, and a few larger blazes again have assumed threatening aspects, among them the Deep Creek fire in the Bitter Root forest and the Fohl creek fire in the St. Joe forest.
 The latter, famed by high winds, has crossed Fohl creek, driving away fire fighters who had established lines there. An effort was. being made to- day to make stand against the fire which has covered between 4,e00 and 5000. acres Yesterday crown fires caused by gale, nullified all efforts of crews fighting the blaze which is near Avery Idaho.

BLOCKS VOTE ON PROPOSED
 LAND LEASING BILL
tRepubIican A. P. Leased wIreI

WASHINGTON. Aug 30-Maintain- ing his average of four hours speaking q day for the fourth consecutive day, Senator La Toilette, republican, Wis consin, today Blocked plans of those in charge of the house land leasing bill for final vote before the Labor Day recess.
 When the senate recessed tonight until Tuesday the Wisconsin senator had spoken for sixteen hours on the bill which he charged is a monopoly measure for the benefit of the Stand ard Oil Company. AS prospects of dis. posing of the bill today went glim- mering Senator Thomas, democrat Colorado, began the circulation of a petition asking that the cloture rule be invoked in order to stop the debate. After it was understood the required number of senators had signed the pe- tition, the plan was abandoned at the request of Senator Shoot republican, Utah, who is in charge of the leasing bill. The senate however, was able to adopt a number of amendments, in cluding one by Senator La Toilette which would prohibit the employment of boys under sixteen years or girls and women irrespective of age under the surface of mines opened under the bill
 The Wisconsin senator had objected to the previous of a bill which would have permitted railroad companies to obtain a separate lease on public coal lands for each two miles of track on the ground that it would permit eleven trunk line railroads crossing portions of inc nubIic domain in the west s.fo tie up in leases 100000 acres of coal lands" the senate modified the pro- vision.
 Railroads under the bill as amended would be permitted only one lease for each 250 miles of track within she state in which the property is located.

STEEL WORKERS MAY
 ORGANIZE IN HOPE
 IF AVERT|NG STRIKE
IRepubIIean A ?. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Efforts to organize the workers in the steel indus try still are being made with the hope that an amicable adjustment of their demands may be reached before any outbreak or cessation of work shall be inaugurated," Samuel Gompers. presi- dent Of the American Federation of Labor said today in a statement sum- marking the work of the federation's executive council
 The council has been in session three days. considering the general labor situation over the country, but Mir. Gompers did not deal with the situa- ton as a whole nor did Se indicate upon what was based the hope that the controversy between the steel men and the United States Steel corporation would be adjusted without resort to strike.
 President Wilson was asked yester- day to intervene in the controversy bu. as he has made no move, some officials believe he has declined to take a hand. Meantime, the time limit set for Chairman Gary of the steel corpora tion to answer the mems request for a conference, has expired without an answer being received.
 Endorsement of the two strikes those of the cigar makers and actors by the federation's executive council was announced The cigarmakers were pledged the full moral and fi- nancial support of the federation which promised also to appeal to all labor and friends of labor to come to the financial and moral assistance of those engaged in the strike. As to the railroad brotherhoods plan for tri- partite control of the railroads gener- ally known as the Plumb plan, Mir. Gompers said the council had consid- cred this of such importance to labor, the people and the country that no action would be taken until special committee had gathered and presented all the facts.
 Regarding the Amsterdam confer ence of international trade unions which he attended as an American delegate, MT. Gompers said it had voted overwhelmingly against any bolsheviki principles or tendencies. The report of the American delegates, he said showed that the wave of bolshevism had receded.
 No reference was made by Mr, Gompers to the presidents decision not to grant general wage increases to railroad employees at this time.

 LABOR ARTICLES
Takes Issue with Opposition
 to Labor Provisions of Peace Treaty-Says They Begin Movement to Make World Safe for Labor.
TRepubllcan A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30-Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor in a statement to the league to enforce peace, takes issue with the opposition to the labor articles of the peace treaty which has pro posal before the senate foreign reia- tions committee to strike them out.
 s'The covenant for a league of na- tions and the treaty of peace of which it is a part,g said MT. Gompers. hold the first world agreement among the nations to keep all that has been se- cured for labor and to make the stand ards already gained universal, advanc- ing and improving for all men, for all women and for all children. Until ratified the covenant and treaty are not safe and the United States is not a party Any amendment to this treaty will send it back to all the 27 nations concerned, Germany included.
 This first international charter for the rights of labor should be adopted without delay. It begins among the nations the great and sublime task Of raising the level of the conditions the world over. Every workman in the world wherever he may be, is put in peril by every workman whose hours are long, whose pay is inadequate whose conditions at work at too early an age make it more difficult to main tain the age standard for the labor of childhood. This is 14 years in many of our states. It should be 16 Chil- dren working at a lower age make it harder to improve and keep the pres ent child standards. So with the women. Every woman toiling 12 and 4 lox ho- fo. every woman working eight hours a hours secure.
 Make World Safe for Labor
 "'The world needs to be made safe for labor as well as for democracy. The world cannot be safe for democ- racy until it is safe for labor The only sure protection for any labor anywhere is universal justice to all labor every where.
 'The covenant and treaty delayed so long in the senate proposes to gain this
 This cannot come in a day, in a year or in decade; but it is possible to turn the world of nations in this direction to give the command of for. ward march: to keep the world nov ing until this great end is won. This cannot be done if the treaty is amended or delayed
 Senator Fall. of New Mexico has already proposed that the labor ar ticles of the treaty be cut out under the pretense that they level down They do not The article of the treaty ere ating a conference of labor in which all nations are represented provides that the article shall be interpreted in accordance with the following prin- ciples:
 Tn no case shall any member be asked or required as result of the adoption of any recommendation or draft convention by the conference to lessen the protection afforded by it's existing legislation to the workers con- cerned The labor articles of the treaty were drawn by labor men for labor. They will stand"
