Union Leader, on Way
to Chicago, States He
Will Call Big Strike

President S. j. Konenkamp of the
Commercial Telegraphers Union of
America, who today is on his way to
Chicago, announced before his depart
ure last night that he would call a
nation wide strike of union telegra-
pliers upon his arrival in Chicago late
today. The strike is proposed in sup
port of the Western Union Telegraph
Company's employees in ten southern
states, who went on strike Thursday
night
Until he reached Chicago. Mr.. Ko-
nenkamp stated, it would not be de-
cided whether the spread of the strike
would be confined to the Western
Union or include the Postal Tele
graph and Cable Company. He also
said the date of the proposed strike
had not been determined.
Western Union officials claim that
of the 10000 employees of the COM
pany eligible to join the telegraphers'
union only 10 were members and ex-
pressed belief that strike would
not seriously impair the service.
Post Office Department officials are
not concerned in the threatened walk
out as the order of Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson in returning operating
control of the wires to their owners
puts the burden of combating the strike
on the companies.

Action in Irish Case.

Next one comes to the action of the
Senate in unanimously asking the
peace conference to- grant a hearing
to the Irish American delegates. Ir-
respective of whether the Irish cues
ton comes within the Jurisdiction of
the conference of powers, which de-
tenders of the league of nations COW
enaht argue that it does, there was
considerable amusement today over
the fact that Senator Borah on the
one hand denounces American entan-
elements in European affairs and
then obtains the passage of a resolu-
ton calling upon the peace confer
ence to listen to the discussion of
what Great Britain. a European power
of considerable prominence, considers
an internal affair and something en-
tirely covered by her sovereignty.
And the truth is democrats as well
as republicans. believers in the
league of nations and opponents of
the idea, all joined in asking the peace
conference to hear the Irish-Ameri-
can delegates. Both parties in the
United States Senate would hardly
want to offend the Irish elements in
the United States, so the score is a bout
even on that Irish resolution.

Two Parties Seem to Be
"About Even" After
Weeks Debate.
FEELING RUNNING HIGH
BY DAVID LAWRENCE,

Out of the tangles of a weeks de-
bate. the democrats and republicans
emerged today about even The SEN
ate demanded the text of the peace
treaty "if not Incompatible with the
public interest" President Wilson's
answer probably will be that he will
give the Senate copy of the treaty
when Athefes h. oRe.sAll copies. docu-
ments, drafts. proposals and other
material exchanged between the Ger
man and allied commissioners will
be turned over in due time, but to
transmit ANYTHING now would be to
gotiations hitherto exercised by the
executive branch of the government
under the Constitution For. until the
Germans sign the pact, it is not a
treaty.
And Mr.. Wilson isn't obliged to SUBJ
init unnnlshed treaties unless he has
reached a deadlock or wishes action
from the Senate,
Republican Admissions.
Republican senators admit they have
no constitutional right to get this
treaty till it is finished, but they also
admit they passed the resolution to
register their impotence at not being
allowed to see it at the same time
German storekeepers and book pub
fishers saw it anG distributed it.
Score in favor of the Republicans.
The democrats have lost no time
in turning the tables on Senators
Lodge and Borah, who spread the
sensational story that copies Of the
peace treaty. were in the hands of
unofficial persons in New York. In
situations that the financial interests
have a copy of the proposed treaty
were conveyed by the debate. Sena-
tors Lodge and Borah refused to tell
where they saw the alleged copies of
the treaty.
Another Phase of Incident.
The democrats quickly asked for
investigation.
But that is not the most interesting
phase of the incident. Senator Lodge
endeavored to secure the passage of
substitute resolution proposed by
Senator Kellogg of Minnesota which
would not require either Mr.. Lodge
or Mr.. Borah to testify concerning
their own sensational charges But
Senator Hitchcock, democrat, insisted
that senatorial immunity should not
be invoked to conceal the name of
anybody. If Mr.. Lodge made the
charge he must sustain it. Who has
the treaty, and how was it secured?
The democrats are sure Mr. Wilson
didn't authorize anybody to have it
and that the facts will show he had
no knowledge of or part in the trans
action. So the Senate resolution
specifically names Senators Lodge
and Borah and calls upon them to
make good their charges. Will they
tell where they saw the treaty, and
who has it? The democrats >have
countered quickly. The score is in
their favor unless the republicans can
prove the President gave copies of
the treaty to persons in New York or
elsewhere who had no business get
ting 1t.
