DECENTRALIZATION

Secretary Of National Con-

for Packing Control

Washington, September 5.-Argu-
ments that decentralization of the pack

agricultural committee today by Mrs.

dealers appearing to oppose the Ken

this theory.
Carrying cattle long distances in
freight cars said Mrs. Kelley, and
carrying the meat still further in ex

to cheaper the food supply. We favor
the Kenyon and Kendrick bills because

and decentralize the industry"

Prohibition Enforcement
Bill Passed By Senate
Without Material Change
Attempt of 81 3 to Multi
fly Sectio selating to
War-Tir = rohibition
Fails, own Vote Be-
ing g One for Change

BY Associated Press
Washington, September 5.-Thc
prohibition enforcement bill was
passed by the Senate today with
out n record vote and virtually in
the form it came from committee.
The measure now goes to confer
ence for discussion of amendments
inserted in the House bill by the
Senate. a
The only material change made
in the bill in the Senate was the
addition by amendment of the Ii
quor and drug prohibition act for
the Panama canal zone. This meas
ure has not yet been acted on by the
House.
An eleventh hour attempt by
Senator Shields, democrat, Tennes-
see, to render ineffective the whole
section of the measure relating to
war time prohibition failed, his
own vote being the only one cast
in favor OF 1t. His amendment
would have eliminated the opera
ton of the war time law to the
six states in which mobilization
camps are located.
As it passed the Senate and goes
to conference the bill defines AS an
intOxicant any beverage containing
more than one half of one per
cent of alcohol. The Senate mOdi-
fled, however, some of the most
rigid provisions of the house bill,
including that effectinG private
stocks of alcoholic beverages held
for personal use.

The President defended the Shantung

by which China can be assisted in her
effort to regain control of Shantung
province. Analyzing Article X of the
league covenant he said the league
council could only advise and could not
do that without concurrence of the

MAKING REPLY TO

Presidents Announcement
of Coming Labor Confer

GUS Disregard for
Law, Says Sherman
BY Associated Press

Washington, September 5.
President Wilson's addresses to
the country in support of the
peace treaty and league of ma
tons evoked prompt and spiri-
ted replies today from the Sem
ate floor.
Senators Borah. Idaho. and Sherman.
Illinois, republicans, assailed statements
by the President at indianapolis and Co
lumbus
On the other hand Senator McCumber,
republican, North Dakota, attacked the
treaty reservations adopted yesterday by
the foreign relations committee and pre-
expressing views of republican senators
favoring reservation of mild" type.
Referring to the Presidents statement
at Indianapolis that under the league Eve
can mind other peoples business" Sem
ator Borah criticised American military
operations in Russia, declaring such to be
"a usurpation of power without au-
purpose of aiding Japan's Siberian policy
Senator Sherman resented the Presi-
dents statement in Columbus that the
international labor conference authorized
under the peace treaty would be held
here next month regardless of whether
the senate had ratified the treaty by that
time.
DISREGARDS LAW
The Presidents attitude showed a
''contemptuous disregard" of law, the
Illinois senator said, adding that officials
had been impeached for lesser breaches
In. presenting his proposed sub-resolu-
ton of ratification, Senator McCumbef
spoke only briefly. In lieu of the COM
mittee reservation to article 10 of tho
league covenant, he proposed a reserva
ton merely declaring that specific ac-
ton be requested from Congress to make
territorial guarantees effective. and that
failure of Congress to act rs proposed
by article 10 should not be considered a
violation of the covenant. The commit
tees reservation, Senator McCumber as
serted. would be far worse than an
amendment striking out article 10 and
Invites and encourages war
Other substitute reservations proposed
by Mr. McCumber would in the main
change only the phrasing of the COM
mite reservations regarding the Monroe
action on domestic questions. Two addi-
tional reservations presented by Senator
McCumber provide for return of Shan
tung province by Japan to China upon
adoption of the treaty and for limitation
of voting power of British colonies in
the league as to disputes with the mother
country. The latter two provisions were
covered by the committee as amendments
instead of reservations.
M'CUMBER'S RESERVATION
The substitution by Senator McCum-
Der follows:
That the advice and suggestions of
the council (of the league) as to the
means of carrying the said obligations
(Article 10) into effect are only ad-
visory and that any undertaking un-
der the provisions of Article 10, the
execution of which may require the
use of American military or naval
forces or economic measures, can, I'M
der the constitution. be carried out
only by the action of the Congress and
that failure of the Congress to adopt
