STEEL AND IRON
WORKERS COUNT
VOTE FOR STRIKE

Youngstown, Ohio, Aug. 20-Un-
der the presidency of John F'itzpat-
rick, the American Federation of
Labor's national committee on or
ganization in the iron and steel in
dustry met here at noon today to
begin canvassing a strike vote taken
among "a unions which have mem
bers in the steel industry and de-
eide whether or not these unions
will be asked to present demands
and back them up by a strike.
The conference will canvass a
strike vote already taken which
union organizers assert is over
whelmingly in favor of a waIkout.
Organizers in the Youngstown
district claim $4,000 union mem
bers out of $4,000 steel workers.
Mill officials say the organizers
claims are exaggerated and that a
strike call would have little effect
here.

FATE OF PEACE
AND LEAGUE TO
BE KNOWN SOON
White House Confab
Brings Controversy to
Climax-End Near.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1919; by The Argus.)
Washington, d. c., Aug. 90
President Wilson has brought the
controversy over the ratification of
the peace treaty to a climax. In
perhaps the most remarkable de-
bate in Washington in many gener-
ations, President Wilson faced IT
members of the senate foreign re-
lations committee, Republicans as
well as Democrats, answered ques-
tions with facility and case, and
stated the position in which he as
the chief executive of the United
States sees the fortunes of Amer
lea and the peace of the world if
the treaty is ratified with qualify
ing clauses that give other nations
an opportunity to reopen the nego-
tiations and thereby begin a debate
anew at Paris.
Mr.. Wilson stole a march on his
knquisitors by getting first pub
licity. He read a lengthy statement
which gives the first authorized
version of the presidents views of
the objections made in the last six
weeks to the treaty and the League
of Nations.
To Appeal to Country.
It is in the nature of an appeal
to the country as well as the SEN
ate to realize the perils of delay.
Copper and lead mines, manufac-
turing establishments, cotton ex-
port and the channels of trade are
in the presidents opinion choked
and waiting for release with the
ratification of the treaty. Our mill
tary policy can't be formed till it
is determined what part the United
States is to pay in world affairs
inside or outside the league. He
talks at length for the first time on
the Monroe doctrine. He reveals
what has been printed before but
never from his lips-that America
told the other delegates at Paris
about the doctrine and they accept
ed our view. He explains why it
was called "a regional under
standing of the famous article X
and makes clear that he concurs in
the views of the senate that con-
gress alone can declare war.
Master of Situation.
He states specifically that the
American peace delegation told the
other delegates about this provision
of the American constitution and
chat they all understood article
10 was advisory but that it was left
to the conscience of every nation to
determine whether it should par
ticipate in the punishment of a ma
tion that violated the territorial in
tegrity or political independence OF
a signatory to the treaty. The presi-
dent handled himself in masterful
fashion. He never hesitated with an
answer and seemed full of his sub

Under the terms of the bill day
light saving will come to an end
on the last Sunday in October,
when the clocks will be turned
back an hour.
Repeal of the daylight savings
law was practically assured when
the house passed the bill over
President Wilson's veto yesterday.
It was a case of the farmers YER
sus city residents. Those voicing
the sentiment of the rural popula-
ton carried the day, piling up
more votes than the necessary
two-thirds.
Party Lines Ignored.
Partisan politics did not enter
into the situation, administration
Democrats from rural districts
voting with the Republicans for
the repeal, and bitter opponents of
the president among the Republi-
cans voting to sustain him.
Congress failed in a previous at
tempt to pass a daylight saving
bill over the presidents veto in
July. At that time the measure
was attached as a rider to the ag-
ricultural appropriation bill.
Twice Vetoed. Then Passed.
The repeal of the law which now
takes it's place among the very few
which have been passed over a
presidential veto, becomes effective
after the clocks are turned back
to normal in October. 1t will go
down in legislative history as one
of the very few measures which
have twice been vetoed by a pres
ident and became a law after all
by the vote of more than two
thirds in both houses of congress.

- Senator Pittman said the resolu-
tnsn was in line with the suggestion
made to the foreign relations COM
mittee yesterday by President Will
son, that if reservations are to be
made, they should be embodied in
a separate resolution and not in
the resolution of ratification, which
might make new negotiations nee
essary.
Senator Pittman said the reser-
vations had not been submitted TO
the president They are similar to
those proposed by a group of seven
Republican senators, and deal with
the right of withdrawal from the
league, article 10, domestic ques-
tions, and the Monroe doctrine.
Senate Busy.

ident Wilson before it, the senate

China's case in the peace confer
ence. he said, was based on the
unanimous advice of some of the
ablest international lawyers of
France, Russia, Belgium and Hol-
land, who agreed that the Chinese
declaration of war nullified the
1915 treaty by which China agreed
not to take exception with any
settlement Japan might make with
Germany regarding the German
possessions in Shantung.
There was no indication early
whether the committee would again
confer with the president.
