 Found 80 Per Cent
 For Peace League

Ogden, Utah, Sept. 23.-Home- ward bound after nearly three weeks of speech-making, President, Wilson told crowd today he had found eighty per cent of the people in ia vor of the League of Nations. The chief opposition, he added, came {, from livery disquieting element, which included the influences which tended toward disloyalty during the war.
 The declaration was made from the rear platform of the presidents s private car, where crowd had gath cred and clamored for speech after the presidential party had returned from a brief automobile ride through the city. Only short stop was made here before MT. Wilson went on to Salt Lake City for night meeting at the Mormon tabernacle.

FEAR MOVEMENT TO SEIZE OTHER TOWNS ON COAST Peace Conference Uneasy About Zara, Cattaro and Other
 Cities. ITALIAN POPULATION
 RULED BY JUGO.SLAVS Garihaldi Goes to Meet D'Annunzio- Italian Foreign Minister Quits
 Because of Incident--Ttaly
 Makes Appeal.

Paris, Sept. 23.-Uneasiness is growing in peace conference circles in regard to the situation in Plume. 1t is feared that the movement start ed by Gabrielle D'Annunzio may spread to other parts of the Dalma tan coast and result in the occupa- ton of Zara, Cattaro and other towns with large Italian populations located in districts where the majority of inhabitants are Jugo-Slavs.
 No reply has been received yet from President Wilson to the pro- posed compromise of the differences regarding Plume. The American dele gation, however, does not expect an answer for several days, as the con- promise plan in final form did not leave Paris until last Wednesday and delays in cable transmission as well as the process of decoding would con sume several days.

LABOR LEADERS ATTACK CUMMINS RAIL. ROAD BILL. l. Measure Would Prevent Em- plOyes of Lines From Go.
 ing on Strike. GOMPERS, w. s. STONE
 AND PLUMB TESTIFY No Way That Men Can Constitutions ally Be Prevented From
 Leaving Their Work at
 Will.

! Washington, Sept. 23,-Three oi i the foremost leaders of organized
 labor, before the senate interstat,
 commerce committee today denoun ced in unqualified terms sections of the Cummins railroad reorganization bill which would prevent railroad workers from striking.
 Samuel Gompers, president of the 1 American Federation of Labor War rem s. Stone, chief of the engineers brotherhood and Glenn K. Plumb, au- thor of organized labor's solution of the railroad problem and general consul for the railroad brotherhoods, in turn presented varying arguments, but all emphasized the single point that in their view no power could constitutionally prevent men leaving work at their will
 T do not wish to live single day after that right has been taken away from workingmen,' Mr. Gompers said with more than a touch of in- dignation. He served notice on the committee that the anti-strike pro vision if enacted as law would not be obeyed"
 with a full sense of my respon- sibility," he told senators, q say that l should have no more hesitancy about participating in strike after it's passage than l do not It wouldn't stop strikes; it would just make law breakers.'
 Frankly Vicious.
 There was considerable reference to the Plumb plan, which provides for government ownership of the railroads and joint operation by the public and employees, when it's author opened his statement. He declared that strikes would be beneficial in the future, because workers would use them to force down prices in- stead of merely to secure a greater share of the cost of production, and allowing prices to increase. Puzzled senatorial questioners dealt at some length with the theory, but it did not shake his conclusion.
 Likewise, Mr. Plumb made refer ence to approaching revolution, should conservative labor forces" not secure concessions of the type embodied in his plan, and this occa- stoned more querying.
 MT. Stone attacked the Cummins bill in it's entirety. It's committee on wages and working conditions, he said, was a "mere bluff" it cinched bureaucratic control" on the roads; it distorted procedure on the inter- state commerce commission in order to give the commission a mandate to fix rates on the basis of inflated capitalization, and it had trans portation board "just to take the blame of the guilty railroad officials for denying rights to labor"
 "Frankly vicious" he said. were it's provisions against strikes.

He said he moved his home from Sixth and Maple to his present home yesteday afternoon, and she was opposed to moving. but a search at the former home last night disclosed the fact that she was not there. The police were notified.

Washington, Sept. 23.-Republicans ! took actual count of peace treaty procedure in the senate today by a three vote margin.
 The first test in the fight now
 being waged about the pact with the
 league of nations covenant. came on a motion by Chairman Lodge of the
 foreign relations committed to post
 pone for one week consideration of
 some forty 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 a point of order by Senator Hitchcock, leader of the administra- tlon forces for ratification. against motion for indefinite consideration, and it was adopted, 43 to 40
 The motion, not of itself important was accepted tonight by opponents of the league as the best possible index of the feeling and attitude of the sen. ate toward the treaty and the cove nant. Democratic leaders declared it nothing.
 Except in three instances, the vote, on which the ayes and nays were demanded by Senator Hitchcock, fol lowed party lines. Senator Jones of Washington and Senator McCumber of North Dakota, both republicans, voted against the motion and Senator Reed, democrat of Missouri, voted for it.
 Ten senators were paired and three Gore, Oklahoma; King, Utah, and Tennessee-absent and not voting were not paired.

q f'' GU i'li' I ft'. tWO were klilttl ana 1 two seriously hurt in a riot which i followed clash between strikers and Sympathlzers and state police. When
 troopers charged a crowd they were fired upon, and returning the fire, killed two, it is said
 At New Castle, Pa, Mrs. Sophia 1 Johnston, shot during a riot Monday night, died yesterday afternoon. i Twelve others injured Monday, will recover.
 Organized labor gained ground in ] Chicago, oungStown and other West ern cities on the second day of the great steel strike, which was marked by increased violence, but, according 1 to officials of the United States Steel Corporation and various independent companies, made but little headway in Pittsburgh and other Eastern mills. From the South were received decidedly conflicting reports, such as from Birmingham, where union lead
 CTS claimed 4,000 men were out and the plant officials asserted there was
 such a surplus of labor that hundreds
 of men were set to sweeping floors for lack of other tasks.
 In the Chicago district, where un- ion leaders claimed an additional l0,- 900 men had gone out, more steel plants were closed in South Chicago
 and Indiana Harbor, although, at the
 latter place, officials of an "inde pendent" explained their shutdown
 had been ordered merely to avoid re-
 sponsibility for industrial warfare. Yesterday only the Gary mills of the

Wants Allied Aid.

London, Sept. 23.-Italy which was given a free hand to handle the problem arising out of the seizing of Plume by Captain Gabrielle D'An- nunzio as a domestic affair, is said in reports current to have made an appeal to the allied powers to take the matter off her hands and send 8 force to Plume to expel the insurgent troops from the city. It is claimed Italy has stipulated that, if such a force is sent to the Adriatic city, it must not include Italian units.
 It is improbable, according to re- port that American troops will parti- cipate in such an operation if it is ordered, there being no soldiers avail able for such purpose. American ma- rine contingents now in the Adriatic have not taken part in any activities there and it is said they will not be called upon to do so, unless positive instructions come from Washington or the peace conference in Paris.
 Reports from Plume seem to be conflicting. One states that General Badogia, deputy chief of staff, who was sent from Rome to deal with the situation, has established a cordon about the city while the Jugo-Slav delegation in Paris asserts D'An- nunzio's forces have extended their zone of occupation, having advanced into Jugo-Slavia on Sunday. It ap.. pears that the reported blockade of the city is not particularly effective, it being reported that train load of supplies has reached Plume. An other dispatch says four more com panies of Italian soldiers joined Cap. tain D'Annunzio on Saturday and Sunday. Dispatches from Trieste de- clare the commander of the French ships in the harbor has notified Cap tain D'Annunzio that if the stores for Franco-Serbian troops at Plume are molested, he will order his ships to open fire on the city.
