 Seeds"

 During his speech the republican leader also referred to the war de- partment's plan for an army reor- ganization on the basis of a force of 570,O00 officers and men, asserting such a force was too large, but that there "need be no fear that congress at least the republicans-would approve it."
 "This congress, at least the repub- lican members" declared Mondell, twill not approve any program that will cost over a billion dollars a year"

CONSIDER PLANS ID CUT BRITISH VOTE |NLEACUE:: Pending Amendments to Coven ant Before Senate Com-
 mittee. NEGROES MAKE PLEA FOR RACIAL EQUALITY Only Five Members of Senate Body All Republicans, Hear
 Threats of Black
 Leaders.

Washington, Aug. 28.--Coupling it's public hearings with consideration of proposed amendments to the peace treaty, the senate foreign rela- tions committee plans an extended session tomorrow to hasten work on it's report to the senate.
 After completion of it's open meet ing during the morning, the com- mittee will close it's doors and take up pending amendments. It is likely that the first to be considered will propose elimination of the interna- tional labor section and reduction of the representation of British domin- ions in the league of nations assem- bly,.
 In the senate during the day Sena- tor Williams, democrat, Mississippi member of the committee, criticized the committees course in it's hear ings which had to do, he said, not so much with settlement of the war as with proposals to dismember the countries which were our allies" He referred to the hearings granted Egyptian, Irish and Indian represen- tatives and predicted that the French colonies next would ask to be heard.
 In a short speech on the league of nations. Senator Townsend, republi- can, Michigan, announced that he could ot vote for the treaty unless it can be made clear by reservation, if that can be done, or if necessary, by amendment, that we engaged only for those things which we can per- form without injury to our own coun- try" s%ss
 Asking for an amendment to the peace treaty so as to provide for rac- ial equality, a delegation of negroes, speaking for the National Equal Rights league, told the senate for eign relations committee that serious trouble might be expected un- less better treatment was accorded negroes in the United States. '"The black man has given notice," said A. Wheley, New York negro, "that what he has suffered in the past will not be endured in the future. He means business now. There can be no compromise"

The hear ing had been set at 10 a. .m., but was postponed until 2 p. m., because of the delay in the arrival of Maurice McNeill, assistant attorney general, who came in motor from Topeka.

Shop Crafts Executives Sug- gests Union Await Wilson's
 Action.
EXPRESS FEAR MEN
 MIGHT BE UNWILLING
If Ccst of Living Does Not Come Down 2,50Q.000 Men Will Re serve Right to Walk
 Out.

Washington, Aug. 28.-1ndustfia peace in the United States, according to the legislative council of the rail road sho crafts, depends on the re- suits the government can show in the next 90 days in it's campaign to reduce the cost of living.
 That time limit was tacitly set to- day by council in suggesting to un- ion locals throughout the country that President Wilson's compromise offer in response to their demands for higher wages should be accepted pending the outcome of the effort to restore a normal price level.
 If the cost of living does come down, the 500,000 members of the shop crafts would reserve the right to strike for more money, with them probably would be associated the re- mainder of the 2,500,000 railroad em- ployes.
 The letter of the executive counci served to compose somewhat the un- easiness felt in official circles over the immediate labor situation and tc focus attention on the legal measures being directed by Attorney Genera Palmer and his assistant, Judge Ames, to take the imitation out o1 prices and to punish hoarders and profiteers.
 Apprehension was evident, how ever, both in the letter and in the con yersation of the international off cers. that the men might not be will ing to accept the suggestion that the question of strike be left in the hands of the executive council and z suspension of work to be ordered only after a reasonable time" hac made it clear that such a step was necessary to afford relief. The let. ter said the proposal was certain tc draw criticisms from individuals "who have not as yet indicated a de. sire to listen to reason"
 "In our opinion" the letter said "the next 90 days will bring the en- tire situation to head, and if g strike is to take place every class o1 railroad employes should be willing to join in the movement. share thei1 full measure of resnonsibilitv and not leave the Issue to be decided bv the 22 per cent of the railroad employees represented hy the federated trades

BrOtherh0ods Support Government in WOve--Step is Most Drastic Ever Taken Towards
 Labor.

Washington, Aug. 28.--Director- General Hines, tonight served notice on "publc officers, railroad officers and employees and citizens generally in California, Arizona, and Nevada" that the railroad administration would undertake to restore full railroad service in those states on and after 7 o'clock next Saturday morning and that all striking employees who do not return to work by that time, will find their places filled. Anyone who in- terferes with or impedes the use of railroad property, MT. Hines said, would be dealt with for having com nitted an offenee against the United States.
 This action, coming after the an- nouncement by the four brotherhood chiefs that the brotherhoods would as- sist the railroad administration in operating the lines if the illegal strike was not terminated, is the most dras- tic ever taken by the government in a labor controversy.
 MT. Hines, in addition, sent tele- grams to the governors of California, Nevada, and Arizona, and to the mayors of principal cities in those states, asking cooperation in main taining traffic and in preventing in- terference with the movement of trains.
