Pittsburgh, Sept. 22.-Clashes be-
tween Pennsylvania state police and
crowds bent on holding labor mass
meetings in the Pittsburgh district
ushered in the strike in the iron and
steel industry. The most serious dis
turbance occurred at North Clarion
20 miles from Pittsburgh, where the
state troopers charged a crowd of
union men holding a mass meeting
and broke it up. Resistance was Of
fered and it is charged by union lead
ers that the mounted policemen used
their clubs vigorously and injured a
number in the crowd. Nineteen per-
sons were arrested, some of whom
were brought to the county jail. The
meeting was broken up at the request
of local authorities.
According to eye witnesses the
meeting was proceeding quietly when
the state police broke it up. The
crowd scattered and some ran up a
railroad embankment and threw stones
and other missiles at the troopers.
During the melee, several in the
crowd were struck on the head by the
policemen, it was said. AS far as can
be- learned no one was seriously in
jured. It is alleged that several shots
were fired by some one in the crowd.

Consideration of Amendments to
Peace Treaty Is Postponed
:. b. for One Week. 4.
Vote RESULTS 43 40
Republicans Claim It Shows Attitude
Of Body Toward Pact While
Democrats Declare 1t
Means Nothing.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Republicans
took control OF peace treaty procedure
in the senate by three vote margin.
The first test in the fight over the
pact with it's league of nations cove.
nant, came on a motion by Chairman
Lodge of the foreign relations COM
mittee, to postpone for one week con.
sideration of 40 odd amendments
which would relieve the United States
from service on commissions created
under the treaty. The formal motion,
with a fixed date, was put before the
senate after the Vice President had
sustained point of order by Senator
Hitchcock, leader of the administration
forces for ratification, against motion
for indefinite consideration, and it was
adopted, 43 to 40.
The motion was accepted by oppon-
ents of the league as the best possible
index of the feeling and attitude of the
senate toward the treaty and the cove
nant. Democratic leaders declared it
meant nothing.
The little furry over the Lodge mo.
tion was the only excitement during
the two-hour consideration of the
treaty. Senator Lodge called it up,
but the fight over senate rule still
was running wild, when Senator
Hitchcock cut it short by a demand
for reading of the treaty. There was
no speech-making, and the crowds in
the galleries, listening to the mono.
tonous reading, looked down and saw
only two senators, Hitchcock and
Brandegee, Republican of Connecticut,
in the chamber. Others fitted back
and forth, but few sat through the
reading.
Conduct of the crowds that had pre-
viously broken into uproarous applause
at the conclusion of a speech by Sena-
tor Reed and then Kissed condemna-
ton Of their outburst, was discussed
after Introduction of resolution by
Senator Overman, Democrat, North
Carolina, for enforcement of the rule
against applause. The discussion got
nowhere, however, as Senator Mclean
Republican, nnecticut, objected to
immediate consideration.
Until debate begins on the Fall
amendments the time Of the senate
will be given over to the reading of
the printed text, with speeches by a
number of senators, including one by
Senator New, Republican, Indiana.

CLOSES COAST TOUR
Carnival Spirit Greets President
During Visit to Los Angeles.
Executive Challenges Foes of Peace
Treaty to Present Better
PIan-Starts East.

Los Angeles, Sept. zZ.-Pres1dent
Wilson is ready to take ship now" and
60 to the peace conference in Paris
with any proposition advanced by op-
ponents of the League of Nations
which is better than the league, he
declared at a public dinner here.
In the present condition Of world af-
fairs, he said, no constructive idea for
betterment should be opposed unless
the opposition has better, and the
league he called "a great constructive
idea."
After his speech Wilson went to
Shrine auditorium for another address,
to close his Pacific coast tour of appeal
for the league.
A crowd estimated at 5000 to 1000
filled the auditorium, which was filled
with flags. Singing of "The Star-Span-
gled Banner" finally ended the ap-
plause.
Introduced by ctubwoman.
Mrs. Josiah Cowaes, president of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs,
introduced Wilson.
Long before the doors of the Audi
forum were open all the entrances
were packed. Hundreds lined the
streets along which Wilson passed on
his way to the hall. There seemed to
be a carnival spirit among the crowd.
They made 1t a gala occasion.
The line of march was more than
three miles long. In some places it
overlooked past the curb. The yell
which went up as the president
emerged from the hotel was main
tanned along the whole route.
Flowers Hide President.
Wilson stood up in his car except
when the parade halted and the 5000
troops leading it maneuvered for the
narrower streets. 1t was necessary for
him to stand to be seen, as his ma
chine was so bedecked with flowers it
resembled a carnival float and only
the top of the presidents high hat was
visible when he sat down. There was
also an extraordinary humber of po-
lice around his automobile.
Japanese Lead in Section.
Japanese predominated in the crowds
which lined the way near the railway
station. Flowers had been scattered
over the pavement in that section. An
unusual sight to fasteners in the
presidential party was the Japanese
Boy Scout.
Eighty thousand schccl children
crowded blocks set apart for them.
Childish voices carried the al: of 1.-THE

AGAINST PACT PR0V|S0
Senator Nelson Opposes Reser-
walton to Article Ten.
Says Proposed Change in Peace Trea-
ty Is Unworthy the American
People.

Washington, Sept 20.-In a speech
to the senate, Senator Knute Nelson
of Minnesota announced bluntly that
he will refuse to support the second
reservation in the peace treaty re-
ported by the foreign relations CON-
mtttee, in which the United States
declines to assume, under the provi-
sions Of Article 10, ANY obligation to
preserve the territorial integrity or
political independence of any other
country" etc.
The reservation was strongly de-
nounced by Senator Nelson as unwor-
thy of America, his Interpretation be-
ing that it would commit the United
States to an abandonment of the new
ly created independence Of Poland
and Czecho-Slovakia. This step, he
insisted, was akin to the act Of
mother who abandoned her babe to
strangers, and left it without a trace
of herself.
incidentally Senator Nelson defend
ed the maintenance Of American
troops in Russian territory at this
time, and said he had never been able
to reconcile himself to the clamor in
regard to that policy.
II think the American soldiers were
rightfully there and that it would
have been wiser to have aided them
to greater extent in accomplishing
the relief of Russia" said Senator
Nelson. 1T is true some of our sol:
diers who have been over in Russia
are homesick and anxious to get
home; that is the case with most sor
diers when there is no fighting to do
AS soon as the fighting was done in
the Argonne, in November, 1918, our
soldiers were eager to get back
homesick as it were-still no one can
criticize our soldiers in Siberia for be-
ing homesick and anxious to return
home. Yet feel that the Allies have
been guilty of, unintentionally per-
haps, prolonging the sufferings of
Russia.

It was Democratic legislation that
brought to fulfllment the national de-
nand for good roads. The success of
that legislation in realizing the wishes
Of the country is exemplifed by Stats
tics covering the period from 1913, the
beginning of President Wilson'S first
term, to September l, 1919. In the six
years there were constructed more than
$4,000 miles of almost perfect high
ways.
But for the assistance given by the
Federal Government the several States
would have been unable or unwilling to
bear the whole cost Of these improve
nents But for Democratic laws no
Federal aid would have been forth
matching with funds from the Federal
Treasury every dollar that any Of the
States devotes to the building Of it's
roads. In addition to the millions that
have been voted for this purpose by
Democratic Congresses, it is proposed
to appropriate $40O,000,0 900 to continue
the work after 1921. Senator Shop
pard, Democrat, is the author Of this
proposal.
The whole trend and tenor Of Repub-
lican legislation in the past has been in
favor Of special private interests which
wanted immunities and subsidies and
privileges at the expense Of the masses.
There is no better illustration OF the
spirit and purpose of Democratic law
making than that manifested in this
roads LEGISLATION, which brought bene-
ITS to every section and class OF the

: Springfield Republican: It is cause
for satisfaction if the country, as polit-
ical observers are beginning to report,
is cold toward professional soldiers as
presidential candidates. It would be
amazing for a country like America in
these times to accept as its chief mag
istrate man who had spent his whole
mature life in the army. A military
career as profession is very far from
being training school for civil govern
ment and craftsmanship. It is rather
a training school for a dictatorship.
The best thing Gems. Pershing and
Wood can now do is to kill each other
off as possible candidates.
