The telegram to the President fol-
lows:
THE executive committee repre-
senting the various international un-
ions in the iron and steel industry
met to-day to consider the awful sit
uation which. exists in many of the
iron and steel industry centers. The
coercion, the brutality, employed to
prevent men and unions from meet
ing in halls engaged, upon private
property in the open air; the thug
gerry of the corporations emissaries,
the wholesale discharge of numbers
of men for no reason than the one
assigned that they have become
members of the union, have brought
such a situation that it is exceed
ingly difficult to withhold or restrain
the indignation of the men and the
resistance that they declare it is
their purpose to prevent.
THE executive committee, rely
ing upon the case as presented to
you last week and your earnest dec
laration to endeavor to bring about
conference for the honorable and
peaceful adjustment of the matters
in controversy, have thus far beer
enabled to prevail upon the men not
to engage in Il general strike. We
can not now affirm how much long
er we shall be able to exert that in
fluence, but we urge you, even in
the great work in which you are en-
gagged, to give prompt attention to
this most vital of issues, for, If the
men can no longer be restrained, 1t
is impossible to foretell what the
future may hold in store for an in
dustrial crisis which may ensue and
Illustrate the project which you
have worked at for peaceful and
honorable adjustment of Industrial
affairs in our country.
"A meeting of all presidents of the
twenty-four international unions in
the steel industry has been called to
take place on Tuesday, September
9. in Washington, d. c., to take such
action as they may deem necessary.
May we not have your reply on or
before that time as to whether or
not a conference with the steel cor
poration is possible?"

Allies Will Not Pledge
Themselves Not to Take
Further Steps Against Huns
Bu associated Press.

Washington, Sept. 8. The text
of the ultimatum from the Peace
Conference to the German Govern
ment demanding elimination of the
provision of the German constitu-
ton providing for Austrian repre-
sentation in the German Reichsrath
was made public to-day at the State
Department.
1t asserts that in ordering an ex-
tension of their occupation on the
right bank of the Rhine in event the
demand is not complied with within
fifteen days from September 2, the
Allied and Associated Governments
will not pledge themselves not to
take further measures to force COM
pliance with the terms of the
Peace Treaty.
A summary of the ultimatum was
contained in press dispatches from
Paris, September 2. The full text
follows:
"The Allied and Associated Powers
have noted the German constitution,
August II, 1919, and have noted that
the provisions of the second para
graph Article 81, constitute formal
violation of Article so, of the Peace
Treaty, signed at Versailles June %,
1919.
This violation paragraph /, Ar
ticle 61) by stipulating the admis-
sion of Austria to the Reistag as
similates this republic to the Ger
man lands (Deutscher lander) which
compose the German empire, the
assimilation of which is incompatible
with the Independence of Austria
paragraph p by admitting and
regulating the participation of Aus
tria in the imperial council, the
article creates a political bond and
political action common to Ger
many and Austria in absolute con-
tradiction with the independence of
the latter.
Consequently the Allied and AS
sociated Powers, after having re-
minde dthe German Government
that Article 17S of the German con-
stitution declares provisions of the
Treaty of Versailles cannot be af-
fected by the constitution request
the German Government to take due
measures to suppress this violation
Immediately by declaring the second
paragraph of Article 81 null and
void.
without pledging themselves
not to take further measures in case
of refusal. and by virtue of the
Treaty (notably of Article 42S1) the
Allied and Associated Powers de-
clare to the German Government
that violation of it's pledges on es-
sential points constrains them. if
their just demand is not complied
with within Is days from the pres
ent time, to order at once an ex-
tension of their occupation of the
right bank of the Rhine"

us is beng carried on by indirection

studied effort to ruin our reputation

these enemies are not Germans they
are et1ed by Germans, who are urg-
ing the Bolsheviki forward in every
way to EN- barrass Poland. Our new
Government, with limited supplies
and little clothing for it's Army,
finds the situation desperate. Such
leaders as General Won Luttwitz,
military governor of Brussels under
German occupation and other widely
known generals have been entrusted
with the task of crushing Poland,
but that will not be possible if Po-
land can get speedy relief. Until
the German Treaty is ratified, we
cannot get the foreign troops neces-
sary to stabilize the situation and
hold the plebiscites in sections of
ceded territory In the meantime,
Polish workmen are being beaten,
abused and killed by German troops
in Silesia. The Poles are eager to
rush into Silesia to avenge the
wrongs inflicted on our countrymen,
and it is difficult to restrain our
people, who are stirred daily by
blood-curdling stories of German
atrocities told by refugees.

cost and is making every effort to
hamper us in our battle against dis

A STIRRING ADDRESS.

The Rev. Guy Campbell delivered
the address of the day here last Fri
day and while Mr.. Campbell stated
that he was drafted to "fill the gap he
need not have made any apology His
address was prepared within "a hours
and illustrated his adeptness and
force as an orator. Mr.. Campbell's
topic was -Four Aspects of American
ISM" Touching briefly upon the ma
terial resources of this commonwealth
he passed to the greater resources OF
idealism as representing America
more truly than its farms, herds, fac
tories and wealth of various kinds.
In conclusion Mr. Campbell paid a
toUchino tribute to the 10000 dead
Americans who gave their all in the
world war and now lie quietly in
French soil. HE who watches the
sparrow fall, will not forget them;"
said Mr.. Campbell God will not for
get and His wild flowers will decorate
their graves today. The lily of France,
the poppy of Flanders, the violet and
the buttercup will cover and make
beautiful the earth above Them" was
the touching close.
1t was generally remarked after
Mr.. Campbell had concluded his talk
that his Decoration Day address was
one of the best. ever delivered here.

SMALL TWISTER STRIKES
HENRY VESPERMAN FARM.

Yesterday morning at $50 o'clock,
new time, a tWistcr or heavy wind
struck the Henry Vesporlan farm
two miles southwest of town on the
Hurricane road. Mrs. Vesperman was
in the kitchen when she noticed a
big black cloud bearing down upon
their place coming from toward Jno
Muench's. She hurried to tie barn
where the children were milking ard
hustled them to the house. BY this
time the breaking day had turned to
complete darkness. Before the fam
lily. could get to the cellar (Mr Yes
perman is an invalid) the storm
struck the farm completely turning a
large chicken house over and break
ing it in two. The building was
about 25 feet long, ten feet vide and
eight feet high. Just north Of the
chicken house is a line fence. The
bark was neatly stripped from the
posts!
Mrs. Vesperran heard the storm
'swish" through maple tree at the
southeast corner of the house. The
whole thing lasted but IN instant.
This appears to be the cyclone seas
on. The Herald was unable to trace
any other damage in the vicinity.
