PLANS TREATY ISSUE
IN 1920 CAMPAIGN
Whole Controversy May Be Placed
Before Voters.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Compromise
ecorts to ratify the peace treaty were
thrown into the background today by
developments strengthening the pos
sibility that the whole controversy
might be transferred to the political
arena for decision by the people in
1920.
Senator Lodge, chairman of the for
eign relation committee and Republi-
can leader of the Senate, declared in
q statement there was "no room for
further compromise" and urged that
the reservations of the Senate major
ity be carried into the campaign.
No Expression from President.
There was no formal expression to
determine whether like stand would
be taken ultimately by President Will
so nand the administration Senators,
but it developed that the Presidents
| Senate supporters had no definite as
surances as yet that he would reopen
! the subject for compromise by resub-
hitting the treaty when the new scs
sion of Congress begins December 1.
The declaration of Senator Lodge re
versed the position he and most other
Republican Senators had taken toward
injection of the treaty into politics and
was accented in congressional and Off
cial circles rs clothed with an added
Significance bv Mr.. Lodges conference
with Will Havs. the Republican ma
tional chairman. Just before the unsuc-
cnssful foht Wednesday for ratifca-

hoods did not oppose increased rates. street
railway operatives did not fight higher fares
and telephone employees have made no objec-
ton 10 the levying of heavier assessment
upon subscribers.
Those who think American labor unreason-
able ought to study the situation in England
where the workers insist upon shorter hours
and more pay and blame the government be-
cause granting their demands automatically
Increases the cost of production. In England,
too, the workers have habit Of keeping up
the fight till they get what they are after, or
something else they consider just as good.

The Other Kind of Strikes.

The industrial strike is perfectly proper
weapon 20 employ in just cause. but the
world is learning there are limits beyond which
body Of the people
Take the case of England where the coal
miners, transport workers and railway men
are said to have formed a combine and to be
holding secret meetings planning a general
strike to force the government to take given
stand on certain international and economic
questions.
Control Of the fuel supply and transporta-
ton of a country has been shown to be just
as effective as a means of coercion as control
of it's arsenaIs and munitions production.
Freezing or starving may not be SO spectacular
a being shot blown up with high explo-
sives, but many who have had taste of both
are said to prefer the latter.
These three classes Of British workers are
le7eling deadly economic weapon at the rest
OF the nation and ordering certain things done
which affect the welfare and happiness OF
everybody. 1t isn't right and if conditions are
accurately reported from London the govern
ment is justified in its decision to take what
ever steps may be necessary to meet the
situation
In this country we have the spectacle of
z'9OO prisoners IN the Fort LeaVenVorth peni-
Tertiary on strike for shorter hours and more
food. The worst element in the nation, in
Guiding some Of the most desperate criminals
men who have forfeited their rights as citi-
zens by violations of the rights of others-are
undertaking to dictate TO society, which has
taken them into custody for it's own safety.
1t is a perversion of the only process to
which workers may turn as a last resort to
peaceably gain their rights and casts a shadow
upon those who employ it legitimately. The
government is taking the proper course in pre-
pairing to deal with it promptly and vigorously

Slowing Public Works Program.

Promotion of public works has been dis
continued by the war department for the reason
that in order to prosecute them it is now nee
essary to compete with private industry for
labor The fear Of unemployment. which was
so widely expressed few months ago, is no
longer warranted.
Records show that $45O.OOO,oOo worth of
public improvements are now under contract
Twice as much more would be spent if under
takings which are now in the various prelim-
mary stages were put through. With labor
scarce the effort to force these Improvements
would necessitate reduction of activities in
other fields and have tendency to still further
increase costs Of production and push the cost
Of living yet higher.
The department is taking wise course.
Much OF the public work wait for awhile
and few hundreds of millions on hand ready
to be spent when times are not so prosperous
may come in handy.

Congressional Hindsight.

Congressman Graham says the war depart
ment erred in not canceling all contracts as
as the armistice signed.
Rock Islanders remember the difficulties
which attended the gradual reduction Of opera
tons at Rock Island arsenal. People suddenly
thrown out of work registered emphatic pro-
tests. The same thing OF course happened
wherever munitions were made and it took a
little time to ascertain whether it would be
more costly to permit contracts to be filled or
to cancel them on the spot and pay the claims
for losses.
Besides, signing of the armistice did not
end the war. We had more than 100000 men
5000 miles from home and no assurance when
they could be brought back and it neces-
sary to keep them armed and supplied.
Mr.. Graham also says the public is clamor-
ing for full investigation of the expenditures
of the war department. No doubt the public
would be pleased to see those who mercilessly
mulcted the government on war contracts
brought to book, but spending 100000 which
it will cost to keep Mr.. Grahams committee go
ing for six months longer, for the purpose OF
improving the prospects of a political party
looks too much like throwing good money after
bad

the Earl of Berkeley for the sum
of $25,000,000 a parcel OF the fash
ionable residential section OF Lon
don known as Berkeley square
furnishes one of the real Fomances
of the business world. Sir Marcus,
in his early days, kept a little shop
in one of the poorer quarters of the
British metropolis, where he made
and sold for shilling or two orna-
mental boxes made of shells from
the sea shore. Later, he invested
his savings in oil, made money and
started a company called the
Shell" thus identifying his big
new venture with his original
struggling business. Since those
days he has accumulated a fortune
of many millions and has been
honored with a baronetcy. And all
from selling shells from the sea
