Longshoremen to Take
Referendum VoteonRe-
turning to Their Jobs

Developments in the longshoremen's
strike yesterday we're:
Following conference of the strikers
with government, railway and shipping
officials, the longshoremen agreed to
take referendum on the question of
returning to work. The result will not
be known before Monday, probably not
until Wednesday.
William q. Ripley, director of the
National Adjustment Commission, de-
llvered an ultimatum to the strikers.
He said the government intended to see
that its vessels were docked and load
ed. The longshoremen replied that
they would only remove the baggage of
Colonel E. NJ. House when he arrives
on the transport Northern Pacific.
Secretary of War Baker announced
that soldiers and sailors would be used
to handle freight on government trans
ports if necessary.
The ferry tic-up has thrown $4,000
more men out of work in addition to
the 100000 deep sea and $1,000 coast
wise workers already idle. The de-
sertion of the ferry men is holding
up large quantities of foodstuffs and
milk on the Jersey side.
Ten thousand employees Of the Amer
lean Railway Express threaten to quit
at once unless their demands now be-
fore the Federal Wage Adjustment
Board are granted.
The longshoremcn are voting on the
question of handling food cargoes.
Their decision will not be known until
Monday. In the meantime 200 vessels
with approximately 100000 tons of
food are tied up in the harbor.
Thomas A. Edison proposed a profit
sharing plan to the men, saying the
pier workers were not receiving their
just deserts.
Delegates from numerous coastwise
ports are expected to arrive to-day in
connection with the sympathetic walk
out along the Atlantic seaboard. Ma
rine officials say about eighty-four
vessels engaged in the coastwise trade
will be affected by the action.
The harbor was further clogged up
by the arrival of fourteen more vessels
yesterday. They were all compelled to
cast anchor in midstream.
Railroad officials, under the leader
ship of A. j. Stone, head of the New
York Conference, will meet labor off,
cials this morning at 10 o'clock to at
tempt to reach q settlement.

The first sign of possible adjust

in it's fifth day, developed yesterday at
the conference of the National Adjust
ment Commission in the Produce Ex-
change.
Following an appeal by William 2.

strike committee Of the longshoremen
agreed to refer the question Of the
mems returning to work to the locals.
referendum vote is now being taken
among the tifty-four locals of the In
ternational Longshorcmen's Associa-
tion, but John f. Riley, the new strike
chairman, declared the results will not
be known before Monday at the earliest,
and probably not until Wednesday.
The men, he said, in response to the
request of Federal Food Administrator
Arthur Williams, also will vote on
whether they will move food cargoes
or not. This precludes all possibility
of relief on this question until Mon.
day, said Riley. though he realized
that 5000 tons of food are now spelling
in freight cars and about 500 600 tons
more are beginning to rot in the holds
of vessels tied up in the harbor.
Points Made at Conference
The conference was attended by rep
rcsentatives of the government, rail
way and shipping interests OF the port
and about ninety longshoremen' dele
gates, headed by Riley. The four sa-
lient points set forth by Mr.. Ripley
were that the increase of five and ten
cents given the men was merely pro-
visional and made to give them some
slight relief until December 1; that
the men were not giving as good ser
vice rs they had been in the past, and
that he hoped that by December /.

merit an increase: that they shou d

Of Dry Measure
President Will Not Sign the
Prohibition Enforcing Act

Ne1U York Tribune

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Attorney
General Palmer will be asked to give
the President legal opinion on the
President signs the measure. it was
said officially to-day at the White
House.
The bill has not yet been received at
the White House, but is expected by
Monday. Immediately upon its receipt
the measure will be dispatched to tho
Department of Justice for scrutiny by
the Attorney General to ascertain if
the act is properly drawn and provides
adequate authority for enforcing both
wartime and constitutional prohibi
tion.
Attorney General Palmer would not
give any hint as to his opinion of the
legality of the prohibition act to-day.
Although the House yesterday voted
by more than three to one to accept
the conference report on the prohibi-
ton enforcement bill, the anti-prohibi-
tionists refuse to toss up the sponge,
and Representative Rainey, of II no 8,
to-day introduced resolution calling
upon the President to proclaim the
army demobilized, as consequence of
which all the oceans Of liquors and
beer and light wines now held in bond
thirsty throats once again would be
objects for lawful public sale. Mr..
Rainey holds the opinion that such a
reso ution, approved by the Senate and
the President, would bring about this
result without waiting for ratification
of the treaty Of peace with Germany,
something which the other side has
held essential to lifting the existing
ban.
The resolution itself declares that:
at is the sense of Congress that the
conditions necessary to the termna-
tion of the wartime prohibition act
and prescribed therein now exist, and
the President is hereby requested to
proclaim the demobilization Of the
army"
Mr.. Rainey said to- day that the war
time law was conceived with the pur-
pose Of conserving men for other in
dustres and to encourage efficiency,
and this purpose has been served.

Treaty Is Ratified
BY French Senate

PARIS, Oct. 11.-The French Senate
to-day ratified the peace treaty and
also the Franco American and Franco
British defence treaties.
The vote on the peace treaty with
Germany was 217 for ratification, none
against, and one stention-that of
Senator Delahye. The vote for adop-
tion of the ratification of the two de-
fence treaties was unanimous, all of
the 21S votes being cast in It's favor.
Premier Clemenceau, before the
peace treaty was ratified, made an eo-
quent speech in which he defended
various clauses Of the treaty and par
ticularly one permitting Germany to
retain cannon and fortresses on her
eastern frontier The premier ex-
planned this by saying it was to Ger
many's interest to defend herself on
the east, and that France had no desire
to see Germany lapse into Bolshevism.
Referring to the Anglo-French and
Franc American agreements, NJ. Gle
menceau declared that he had not asked
for British American alliance, but
that he had accepted it quite willingly.
"The best Justification Of the peace
treaty" said NJ. Clemenceau, sis that
If at any time we had been asked if
we wanted the present treaty nobody
would have refused it."
The discussion on ratification came
to prompt termination after Premier
Clemenceau asked the senators not to
lose any time, but to pass upon the
treaty Immediately. There was no trace
of bitterness and criticism which char
acterized the discussion in the Cham
ber The debate occupied only three
sessions of the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE point
raised that the treaty ratification by
Italy, through royal decree, was made
quate was settled to-day at the State
Department. where it was officially said
the King of Italy could proclaim the
ratification of the treaty, but the Par
lament of Italy, when it meets in De-
cember, will have to pass legislation
putting the provisions of the interna-
tional agreement into effect.

quarters here this afternoon that a
German Russian attack on Riga was
carried out on Friday under cover of a
heavy BON bardment by German guns,
forcing the Let's TO evacuate the city.
The reported capture of Riga is re-
garded most seriously by military ex-
perts here. They say that between the
Germano-Russian troops and the city
of Petrograd there is no force that
would prove effective in stopping an
advance upon that city, from which,
once it was reached. it would be din
cult to dislodge them.
A dispatch from Berlin says the

from Mitau stating that Russian troops
under Colonel Avaloff- -Bermondt this
morning occupied the bridge across the
Duna at Riga, connecting the Mitau
suburb with Riga itself
Severe Fighting at Outskirts

outskirts of Riga Friday morning after

more severe fighting, they took the vii

the Duna, by assault. Thereupon the

The British feet has left Riga for
