SENATORS HEAR
BOSSES NEXT IN
STRIKE INQUIRY
Three Outstanding Points
Revealed By Question
ing Labor Heads.

Washington, Sept. 27. = Investi-
cation to date of the steel strike
by the senate labor committee, in
an effort to ascertain ''if the situ-
alton can in any way be relieved
by federal action" has developed
the following outstanding points:
First-Declaration by strike
leaders that agreement by the
United States Steel corpora
ton to arbitrate differences
with it's employees would end
the walkout.
Second-Assertion by strik-
ers' representatives that grant
ing by Chairman Gary of the
steel corporation of a hearing
of their demands now would
not end .he strike.
The view of organized labor
that the issue is recognition of
the right of the employees ito
be heard, to organize and to
have some voice in determin-
ing conditions under which
they labor.
These definite points we're
brought out in the two days hear
ing by the two representatives Of
labor to appear, John Fitzpatrick,
chairman of the strikers commit
tee, and Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation
of Labor. Both went into the his
tory of the movement to organize
the steel industry and charged that
in many cases civil authorities in
western Pennsylvania had lent as
sistance to the steel companies to
defeat the movement.
Hear Bosses Next.
Having heard labor's side OF the
controversy, the committee next
will hear the views of operators in
the industry. Judge Gary OF the
steel corporation will appear Wed
nesday prepared to present that
side of the controversy.
The committee at the close of its
hearing yesterday decided not to
ask the appearance of william z.
Foster. secretary of the strikers
committee, at this time. II is con-
sidered probable that Foster will
be called after Judge Gary. No
decision has yet been made by the
committee as to whether it will
visit the strike districts.

THINKS SENATE
WILL 0. K. PACT
Senator McCumber Forecasts Ear
ly Ratification without Any
Drastic Changes.

Washington, D. c., Sept 27.-
Senator McCumber, Republican, of
North Dakota, member of the SEN
ate foreign relations committee,
believes that the peace treaty will
be ratified at an early date with
out amendments or reservations
that will require renegotiation
with the other signatories. Sena-
tor McCumber occupies a COM
manding position in the senate at
this time as he is the only Repub-
lican member of the foreign rela-
tions committee who refused to
sign the Lodge majority report
and is in close touch with all the
various senatorial groupes of both
parties.
In a statement to the country
today, given out through the
League to Enforce Peace, Senator
McCumber said:
81 cannot believe that there will
be any amendments or reserva-
tions adopted that will require a
resubmission to the peace confer
ence. / hope and believe that sem
ators will agree upon a few reser-
vations that will clarity any pro-
vision on which there is doubt,
and which will assure us every
right of independence of protec-
tion OF our national policies such
as the Monroe doctrine and the un-
questioned control of all our do
mestic matters. We do not need
to make any amendment to assure
these results, and 1 cannot believe
that a majority of the senator's
could be secured to vote for
amendments OF reservations that
will defer the consummation Of
this treaty for many months long
er. thereby continuing the present
uncertainties and chaotic condi-
tions of the world for another in
definite period with all its result
ing evils in strikes and the spread
of bolshevism throughout Europe
and the United States.
Cannot Take Chance
81 believe that many senator's
who do not like all the provisions
of the treaty-a treaty on which
81 nations labored for six months
to compose their differences and
to reach a compromise-wil pause
long before they add to the pres
ent chaos by sending this treaty
back to conference either by such
radical amendments or by such
reservations will necessitate a
reconsideration of the whole treaty
by all the nations which joined in
the present treaty. | am con-
vinced that a majority of the SEN
ators believe that we cannot af-
ford to subject the present deli
cate situation to another peace
conference and another long de-
lay"

RUMORS FLOOD
ROME; ON BRINK
OF CIVIL WAR?
Internal Upheaval Held
Imminent Over Crisis
On Fiume Case.

Rome, Thursday. Sept. 25-
Alamist reports are current in
this city, one of them being
that a civil war is imminent.
On one side would be ranged
the nationalist and militariSt
factions, which would be op-
posed by the Socialists.
Several generals are credited
militarist faction with a view to
controlling the government, it being
said that they believe the weakness
of those in power since the armi-
stice caused the present deadlock.
Some Of these generals have al
ready been mentioned as being in
league with Captain Gabrielle d
Annunzio before the Fiume raid,
with the object of overthrowing by
force hte Nitti cabinet and replac-
ing it with military dictatorship.
Navy Dissatisfied.
The navy is represented as being
even more dissatisfied than the
army
Foreign Minister Tittoni is said
to have expressed the belief that
the first thing to be done in the
present serious situation was for
the cabinet to resign, thus elimin-
ating one reason for discord-op-
position to men now in power 1t
is said his intention was the forma-
ton of a national cabinet including
all the leaders of the chief political
parties, which would give the gov
ernment the reatest possible
power under the circumstances.
Opposes Resignation
Premier Nitti, instead, consid-
cred that the resignation of the
cabinet would be an admission,
either of culpability, or of weak
ness, which would make the situa
tion worse. He added that he was
naturally ready and desirous to be
relieved Of the tremendous respon-
sibility if any one would suggest a
man better fitted to cope with a
terrible crisis
Million On Strike.
WoFkmen numbering approx
imately 100000 are on strike and
dissatisfaction is growing every
where at the constantly increasing
cost of living. Strenuous efforts
are being made by official Social
lists to reach an understanding be-
tween the workmen and soldiers.
They are urging the latter to refuse
to obey either their officers or the
government, as they thus hope 60
organize in Italy workmen's and
soldiers committees, which would
lead to the formation of soviets
and an unheaval of the whole so
cial order.

Out on the farm where the boy can and has lived close to Nature is the worlds great est school. Today, hit or miss

The last few days have made us realize how helpless we are in the power of nature. We have been reminded by the reports of cyclones in various places of the time our own town was blown away. Only a few months ago a terrible malady swept over our country and counted it's victims by the thousands. Now we are face to face with a new disease called sleeping sickness. The medical world has made won 'derful progress in the science of medicine still there are some diseases that baffle them. It makes one shudder when we realize the possibility of sleeping ones self to death with no pos sible cure.

How unfortunate a thing is a misfit, a square peg in a round hole. There has been a false method in our educational plan in the past. The tendency is to educate the hand as well as the head. It is well to know Greek and Latin but still greater to know one place and fill it. It is not all of life to make money. It better to put the young man in a place where he can make good even if he does not make his thousands than that he should be a misfit nd never have that satisfaction of mind necessary to the best possible success.
 It is encouraging to see the interest that is being taken in Brinkley in the new, scientific methods of farming. We all realize that the farmer must get it first. The day has passed when the farmer is looked upon as a hayseed, and a back num- Der. He has come into his own and at last come to be appreciat- ed and encouraged in his work. He is no longer the man with the hoe but is the man to whom all men look with anxiety as he is the one who feeds the world When he fails we all fail. Better farming means better every thing. Get behind these move ments and make them go. Stand by the farmer for he has long stood by you, MT. Man.
