TREATY PROTEST |s
 SILENTLY RECEIVED

BERLIN, Wednesday, May By the Associated Press) ).-The majority socialists held a demonstration of pro- test against the peace terms in the Wilhelmsplatz today. The crowd, in contrast with earlier meetings, re- ceived the speeches of leaders in frigid silence.
 Chancellor Scheidemann said he hoped in the interest of humanity to attain a peace by understanding on the base of the German counter pro- posals. A peace of conciliation only was possible, if Germany is included as an equal in the league of nations. The league. he declared, was a neces- sary essential, but the government was against the spirit of it's present form. which made the Germans the slaves of other nations. He concluded by call ing for cheers for the league.
 Herr Mueller, for the independent socialists, said the socialists of all countries must regard peace as i'm possible under the peace treaty. Frau Juchacz said that if the allied peace terms were carried out they would per petuate war of hunger.
 The independent socialists also held a demonstration.

MARINE OPERATION
 |S CONSIDERED BY AFFILIATED PARTIES
Republican A. p. Leased WlreJ

WASHINGTON, May 22-Operfa- tion of the government-built American merchant marine in peace was dis cussed from many angles today by representatives of the national labor, agricultural and industrial organiza- tions, called into conference by the shipping board.
 We have different points of view, Chairman Hurley told the gathering.
 "The shipper wants reasonable freight rates: the carrier wants req sonable earnings; these two objectives are not inconsistent. Efficient opera ton can achieve them both.
 Arrangements must be made whereby each section of the country will have every opportunity to ests-b- fish, through steamship lines in con nection with its railroads, so that every community may receive first class service"
 Three great national needs of the merchant fleet were outlined by MT. Hurley as follows:
 Maintenance of an American ocean mail service capable of covering the world. He said this would necessitate changing the law to permit compen- sating ocean carriers on a business basis, bring it down from the realm oi impracticability and make it apply to the seagoing units which we actually possess"
 Establishment of a centrally con trolled wireless telegraph system fol promoting safety of life and property at sea, and for giving American ship ping and shipping interests the advan- tage of constant commercial informa- tion. NIT. Hurley said this service should be under control of the navy.
 Adequate provision for the training of men, so that the ships would go tt sea in charge of American citizens.
 James O'Connell, representing thu American Federation of Labor, de clared the laboring man wanted t know which would give him the bes conditions, government or privat ownership of the merchant marine He said the federation had not directl, endorsed the government ownership 0 ocean transportation lines, but "tha some action may be taken at the con vention in June, due to war experience which would lead to that conclusion.

COAL MAN INSISTS ON
 MODIFIED TRUST LAW

CHICAGO, May Modification of the sherman antitrust law was the first recommendation of Harry x. Taylor of Kansas City in accepting the presidency of the National Coal asso- citation today. He said the coal in- dustry has been "hedged" about by re- strictions and regulations during the war and that shortcut methods to CO., operation were practically impossible.
 Previously, Dr. Harry A. Garfield, United States fuel administration head, had urged continuance of war time governmental supervision of busi- ness in control of basic raw materials.
 President Taylor gave a warning to the public to buy coal now, citing a 5o,000,0 0,000-ton shortage in bituminous production and one of s,o00,o0O tons of anthracite up to June l. next a shortage of 10000 miners, and the bur- den on transportation facilities of hauling this years crops.
 How in the world are we going to meet this public want and make up the shortage of 5S,ooo,oo0 tons at a time in the year when we can't get transportation and we can't get men to dig the full output of our mines?" he asked.

GERMAN LEAGUE IDEA
 WILL NOT ANSWER

PARIS. May 22.-CBy the Associated Press.)-The allied reply to the Ger man note regarding the league of na- uons, which was delivered today, says in general that the council considers that "the proposals of the covenant are much more practical than those of the German government and better calculated to secure the objects of the league"
 Regarding the suggestion of a sepa- hate mediation office, this not ccnsid- cred feasible, since such body would not have the requisite authority to maintain the peace of the world
 PARIS, May 22.-The German league of nations plan contains 65 clauses. It agrees in general with the conference covenant, but proposes a number of amendments. including compulsory ar bitration and also an international parliament, both Of which heretofore have been pronounced impracticable by the league of nations commission

LAWYERS CONSIDER
 F0RD SUIT EVIDENCE

MT. CLEMENS, Mich, May 22.-- Discussion of the law bearing on the scope of evidence to be admitted oc- cupied the entire session today in the trial of Henry Ford's libel suit against the Chicago Daily Tribune. The jury, which had been instructed for the afternoon session, was again excused, this time until Monday, indicating the arguments will close tomorrow. A member of the Ford legal forces ex- plained as follows the plaintiffs con tention on the limitation of evidence.
 If Smith steals Jones' watch" he said, "and Jones calls him a thief and says he used the term because of that larceny, the explanation is a complete defense of the slanderoUs word thief If, on the other hand, Jones' watch was stolen by some other person, it is not defense against charge of islander to prove that Smith was a thief any way because he had committed some other larceny"
 In the suit on hearing. the lawyer continued, the plaintiff charges that the Tribune said in a headline, Ford is an anarchist" and "expatriated on the allegation with the assertion that MT. Ford declined to pay his employees while absent on military duty or tc hold their jobs for them, or care foI their dependents. The article made nc other allegations as a basis for the headline, and we contend it sets fortf DO other justification for the use of the word anarchist and therefore it is nc defense for the Tribune to prove thai military preparedness was necessary in 1916, and that MT. Ford opposed this preparedness or that his public utter ances led to acts of violence on tho part of others"
 Attorney Elliott G. Stevenson, for the Tribune maintained in his argu- ment that not only the headline, bu the article itself. was based on Ions study of Mir. Ford's public attitude, ana that this inference was plainly carried to readers of the Tribune.

BAPTIST MINISTERS
 IF ARIZONA SECURE
 HIGHEST PAY IN J. $.
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

DENVER, May .22.-Day labor wages for Baptist clergy1nen is a blot on the denomination. Less than half the Baptist ministers receive s1,500 a year. This declaration was made to the Northern Baptist convention today by pr. l.. T. Tomlinson of New York, in presenting the report of the ministers and missionaries board.
 This statement and plans of Ameri- can Baptists for AmericaniZation of aliens in the large cities were the out standing features of today's session of the convention.
 Figures presented by Dr. Tomlinson showed that Arizona ranks highest in the salaries paid it's clergymen, 58 per cent of it's Baptist ministers receiving S1. 800 @ year or more. Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada and South Dakota are next in order. Maine is at the bot tom of the list with 10 per cent re- ceiving the above salary, and New York has only Il per cent, while Yer mont has 12.
 A plea for a higher standard for i qualification of clergymen was made | by Dr. Tomlinson, who urged that ser vice rather than ordination should be l the basis for granting pensions to dis abled or superannuated ministers. | Americanization plans were outlined | in the report on city missions and the ] report on Baptist bodies using foreign ! languages. Proclamation of the gos- | pei or the conduct of public worship in a foreign language is a temporary | eXpedient and not 8 concession to race l sentiment" the report declares. Pro- vision for use of the English language as soon as foreign speaking people be- | come acquainted with the language, was urged.
 Discuss Americanization Through the home mission society, foreigners are taught that Americani- zation involved mutual responsibilities on the part of both native and foreign l born; it is an attempt to overcome alienism and achieve national solidar- ity; it does not involve the repudia- tions of any ones ancestral heritage, but wlecomes the contribution of ev- erything which will enrich our na- tional life.'
 These axioms were laid down to workers among aliens
 That to be a great nation does not need to be of one blood, but it must be of one mind.
 That in order to act together, in accordance with the demands of de- mocracy, we must think together.
 That the medium of common thought is a common language.
 That the duties of citizenship are as imperative as the rights guaranteed by the constitution
 Better relations between capital and labor also were urged as a solution of the problem of Americanization- Il was pointed out that the alien will not become good citizen unless he is as- sured of a square deal in his employ nnnnt

WINNIPEG WILL SETTLE HASH 1T
 ALIEN ENEMIES
Said to Be Stumbling Block To Strike Adjustment Must Either Be Ousted or Feel Full Force of Domin- ions Power at Once

WINNIPEG, Man, May 22.-The question of permanent industrial peace in Winnipeg evolving from the present general strike of local labor unions, rested tonight on the future status of the radical enemy aliens.
 Leading citizens or Winnipeg, in cluding Mayor Charles r. Gray and members of the common council, to- day joined with provincial and federal authorities in informing union labor workers that either the alien extrem- ists in the union ranks must be busted, or every force of law and order will be concentrated to rid the dominion of these elements.
 Tomorrow forenoon, in the council chamber of the city hall, representa- tives of every phase of dominion, provincial and municipal activity, af- fected by the general strike, will dis cuss the situation. The chief purpose of the meeting, Mayor Gray said, is to clear the air. of the menace of radical propaganda and possible mis- understanding which, with Winnipeg as their strategic breeding grounds, were threatening to involve the entire dominion.
 Today Will Decide
 This meeting was decided upon by Mayor Gray and the city council this afternoon. The mayor announced that it was not intended, primarily, as a strike settlement conference. He re- ferred to it as a gathering of officials and citizens representing government, industry, labor, commerce and military protection.
 Since yesterday, when aggressive opposition to the isolation program of the strike leaders was begun, constant improvement has been reported in va rious branches of commercial and pub lie service Nearly all the stores in the business district were open today and many made deliveries; telegraph service was partly restored by volun- teer operators; restaurants and other places Of business still closed, dis played placards this evening, announc- ing they would open tomorrow and that help was wanted" and leading employers reported to Mayor Gray and the citizens committee that a number of clerks who had been on strike had applied for reinstatement
 Way Seems Clear Now
 Mayor Gray and members of the city council pointed out tonight that they had received assurances that neither | collective bargaining nor union recog- milton would be rejected by Winnipeg employers, in considering a strike set clement plan Declarations today by 1 federal, provincial and local officials that supporters of L W. w. or bol- shevfki doctrines must be busted from l union power, and may eventually be l deported from Canada, were received with satisfaction by the Manitoba Great War Veterans association which recently urged such action. Morning and evening editions were issued by the Winnipeg Free Press, the 1 first newspaper in the city to publish since the general strike got under way Various officials who today participat ed in the movement to restore indus trial tranquility, said they were hope | ful that the meeting tomorrow would result in suspension of the genera strike.
