100000 WORKERS
THREATEN STRIKE
.(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, July 1S.-More than one
hundred thousand men employed IN
Chicago building operations will be
idle by tonight, unless strikes for high
er pay involving about $4,000 Of their
number are called off. An ultimatum
to the striking building trades that
they return to work today was issued
yesterday by the Building Construc-
ton Employers association.
Approximately $50.000.000 In con-
struction work will come to a stand
still If the lockout occurs. Other op-
timated cost of $76,000,000 will be
deferred.
The 10000 carpenters on strike will
ignore the order D. j. Ryan, secretary
Of the joint arbitration board and
members of the Carpenters district
council, said when the ultimatum was
received.
The remainder of the men who arc
cut either to enforce demands of their
own or in sympathy with the carpen-
ters, also will ignore the contractors
order, declared Edward N. Nockels,
secretary of the Chicago Federation
Of Labor.
The decision to declare a lockout
came as a climax to a series of strikes
in the building Industry and was pre-
cipitated by the walk out Of the car
penters who are charged by the en-
ployers with violating their agreement
and refusing to negotiate "a compro-
mise. They now receive 80 cents an
hour but are holding out for 81 an
hour.

Rear Admiral Simms and Admiral

Of congress today by PRESIDENT Will

Il take the liberty Of calling your
attention to a matter which I am sure
is at the heart of the whole country
and which I have had very much in
mind throughout all these months
when we were trying to arrange q
peace that would be worthy of the
spirit and achievements Of the men
who won the victory in the field and
upon the sea.
After mature reflection, I earnest
ly recommend that you give the per-
manent rank of general to John ].
Pershing and Peyton G. March, ex-
pressing the law In such a way as
to give precedent to General Perish
ing; and that you give the permanent
rank Of admiral to William s. Benson
and William S. Simms.
Il take it for granted that am only
anticipating your own thought in pro-
posing these honors for the men upon
whom the principal responsibilities de-
volved for achieving the great result
which our incompatible navy and
army accomplished"

PARIS, Thursday, July 1.-THE
committee of the Chamber of Deputies
which is considering the treaty of

cal viewpoint.
It adds however, that q recent 40
cord between France and Great Bri-
tain fixes the limitations and rights
of each in those colonies.
Premier Clemenceau, in appearing
before the committee, declares that
the security of France was guaranteed
by the treaty Of peace and the treaties
between France and the United
States and France and Great Bir-
tain. M. Clemenceau reviewed the pro-
ceedings in the peace conference re-
garding the left bank Of the Rhine,
fling with the committee a series

called that in the opinion of Marshall

should be established and occupied
permanently and said that he had
been obligated to choose between that

have been obligated to assume and
to protection afforded by the Ameri
can and British treaties.
