closed that John Fitzpatrick and w. B.
Rubin, strike leaders, had offered to
accept untermyer as sole arbitrator of
the dispute, were made public yester-
day.
This offer, made on the eve of the
Bethlehem strike call, was relayed to
Grace by Untermycr. with the urgen,
suggestion that the former consent at
east to "arbitrate the preliminary
question Of n conference" with the
American Federation of Labor repre-
Sentatlves. Grace refused to consider
the proposal, and this evoked from IN

termed the attitude of Judge Gary, of
the United States Steel CORPORATION.
"unwise and ndsfcnsible," and de-.
clared that 'iD these days labor's

The Fitzpatrick Rubin wire to Tn
termyer was sent last Saturday, IT

the telegram read, "that we would be
even willing to let you sit as judge or

Lowden for state troops.
The labor men assured the Mayor
and Sheriff they would redoube their
e'lorts to control the strikers, and it
was decided to hold in abeyance the
request for troops.
Governor Goodrich Of Indiana sent
Colonel j. R. Harrison to Gary to in
spect the situation and report to him.

any intention Of asking for state troops

After a visit 10 the President, Mr.
Hitchcock yesterday repeated his threat
that the Administration Senators would
vote to reject the treaty if the ma
jority reservations were attached to It,
Evidently the President has tentatively
indorsed the Hitchcock program. This
is acceptance Of the Wilson draft or
nothing. Thus coercion raises its head
again in a most obnoxious form.
Mr. Hitchcock has been playing a
dangerous game. Only the objection Of
a Republican friend OF the treaty and
Of the League of Nations prevented
rOllcall in the Senate on Thursday.
on which a majority would have been
shown against the instrument as drawn
at Paris Such a vote would have been
interpreted in Europe as the death knell
Of the league project Even here. where
conditions in The Senate are better un-
derstood. it would have indicated to
the public that the Administration
forces had abandoned hopes and, not
being able to rule, were out to ruin.
The power TO say whether there shall
be a league or not now rests with the
President. That is the controlling fact
in the Washington situation. A ma
jority In the Senate has reached con-
cluslon as to the form the league ought
to take II has drafted a resolution Of
ratification which can be approved by
a two-thirds vote II Mr.. Hitchcock and
his followers, guided by The Presidents
advice, also support IT. The league in
its original form cannot pass. 1t can
not command even a bare majority in
the Senate. II is. therefore, for the

President to decide whether he want:
a league or does not.
Mr.. Hitchcock indicates that the
Presidents mind is not yet fully made
up. Hitherto he has been opposed ia
reservations inserted in the ratifying
resolution. Now, according to the
minority leader, he will not object to
reservations in the resolution (which
do not destroy the covenant" It is
the opinion of the trainers of the res
ervations that they do not destroy the
covenant, but save II. In this dispute
the judgment Of one party is presump-
lively as good as that OF the other.
The fate of the covenant is in the
Presidents hands If he wants TO he
can undo the work of the Senate in
either of two ways. He can influence
The Hitchcock group to join the ire
cOncilables and defeat the ratification
resolution framed by the reservationist
majority or he can allow them to vote
as they please and then accept sole re-
sponsibillty for the covenants failure
by pigeon-holing it.
Thus he would slaughter his own
conception because a coordinate branch
OF the treaty-making power had ven
tured 10 perform its constitutional
duty. Here is the issue. Will the au-
thor Of the league strangle it because
he no longer can take an unalloyed
pride in its authorship The predic-
tion may be hazarded that he will not
thus commit infanticde and will ul-
timately abandon the doctrine that con-
corning treaty-making he is a dictator
and that not a word or a comma OF
his DEGREES can be altered.
