Affects Only Ratifying Powers
Permit me to answer your fifth
question by saying that tho provisions
of the treaty to which you refer OPP
crate merely to establish peace be
tween the powers ratifying, and that
II is questionable whether it can be
said that the league Of nations is in
any true sense created by the asso-
citation of only three of the allied
and associated governments.
In reply to your sixth question. I
can only express the confident opinion
that the immediate adoption of tho
treaty, along with the articles Of the
covenant of the league as written,
would certainly within the near future
reduce the cost of living in this roun-
try as elsewhere, by restoring pro
duction and commerce to their normal
strength and freedom.

date for Mayor by

PHILADELPHIA, Sept H. - Con
gressman j. Hampton Moore defeated
Judge John NJ. Patterson for the Re-
publican nomination for Mayor of
Philadelphia at yesterdays primary by
a plurality Of | 537, according to the
complete vote announced at City Hall
early to-day.
Ny. Moore was the candidate of
United States Senator Boics Pcnrosc
and went on the ballot as an Indc-
pendent Republican, pledged TO reform
Judge Patterson had the support of
State Senator Edwin II. Ware, leader
of the dominant faction, and was
backed by the regular organization and
its host Of officeholders.
A feature of the primarx was that
Moore carried >the "Bloody Fifth"
one of the strongholds of the organiza
ton, by 6S9 votes. This ward was the
scene of a reign of terror in 1917
when gunmen imported from New York
to help the administration faction,
killed policeman.
Mcore's victory is attributed partly
to the fact that all the newspapers
supported him. and that he was in
dorscd by many civic organizations.

Bronx Women
Gust Chairman
OF Republicans
John J. knewitz Replaced
on County Committee bv
Richard ". Lawrence,
President of Y. nj. C.. A.

Repupllcan women of the Bronx be-
lieved John j. knewitz had called them
cats and old hens and was against Civ
ing them proportionate voice in the
party management, and he was de-
posed as chairman of the Bronx Coun-
ty Republican Committee last night.
The members of the county commit
tee elected Richard ". Lawrence.
Chairman Lawrence is president of the
Bronx Y. NJ. c. A. He has heretofore
played no important part in politics.
The women did not stop with fore
ing out knewitz, however. They IN
sisted on new staff of officers, which
was named. Then they demanded that
woman be selected as a co chairman.
Under the rules this could only be
done at a special meeting. A special
meeting will be called.
Opposing Lawrence was James A.
Milligan, who was defeated by vote of
400 to 81. The leader Of the Milligan
forces, William Mcconnell, took the
floor when Lawrence was nominated
and expressed the opinion that Law
renee was being used as d stalking
horse
"lf anybody thinks I'm going to re-
sign IN favor of somebody else if elec-
ted" replied Lawrence. "hc or she is
making a mistake. for III stay right

The publishers of three magazines
Of large national circulation, one OF

modified, they would move their plants
from New York City and establish

The Periodical Publishers Associa
ton, at the same time, announced that
1872 other publishers of periodicals in
this state would suspend publication

mands being made by the printing
trade were insisted upon
Periodicals Will Suspend
John Adams Thayer. secretary Of
the New York Publishers Association,
issued this statement:
The periodical publishers of New
York at q meeting held September Is,
with 152 New York periodicals repre-
sented, agreed that unless the unwar-
rsnted and unfair demands made on
them by the radical labor leaders Of
the New York loca! unions were with
drawn they would suspend publication
until such tia.e a : the industry could
be stabilized.

Italian Mufineers Force Out
Bihsh Patrols, Then
United States and French
Forces Leave the City

PARIS, Sept. rs (By The Associated
Press The Jugo-Slav peace delcga-
ton here has issued the following
statement regarding the situation at
Fiumc:
mo armed conflict occurred at Fiumc
on the night of September 1918, when
900 Italian soldiers arrived from the
occupied territory of Istra and Sla-
vonia. The battleship Dante Alighicr
was unable to sail, her engines having
been damaged purposely. The troops
landed from the ship and joined
Annunzio's volunteers.
"Thc Italian military authorities and
commanders of the Allied troops we're
powcrlcss to restore order, prepara-
tions for the rebellion having been
carefully made. The rebels drove away
the English patrol stationed in the
Governors palace Demonstrations
against America, Great Britain, France
and Jugo-S1avia occurred.
"D'Annunzio addressed the soldiers
and crowds, and then the Italians drove
the JugO- Slavs ard soldiers from Fiume
and Sussak
"The French. Americans and British
have left Fiume on board ships 1t is
feared that the regulars of the Italian
army, whc we're sent against the rebels,
will make common cause with them"
The Italian Foreign Minister. Signor
Tittoni, left Paris tonight for Italy.
ROME. Sept. 1.-THE government
has prohibited publication of any news
concerning the military events at
Fiume. A special official has been ap-
pointed to supervise this censorship
He is armed with authority to seques-
trate all editions of newspapers con-
travening the government order.
Commenting on the situation at
Fiume, the newspaper "Messagero"
says:
The bitter truth is that the Allies
deny us Fiume. 1t is an injustice, a
cruelty, n monstrosity, but it is impos-
sible to annex the city against the de-
cision OF the Allies, which no argument
has changed. nor is it likely to be
changed through 'Annunzio's mad
act.
"Naly needs to be ready to face the
risks OF military. political and economic
conflicts with the Allies. success in
which would be impossible, having the

Amalgamated Wants Strike

'"N NUidlSdmaICd ASSOCIATION of
IRON, Steel and Tin Workers. one Of
inc largest organizations among the
animated unions, will enter the meet
ing supporting the strike next Monday.
The executive board of the Amalga
mated Association met here today and
while nothing officially was given out,
it is understood the sentiment Of the
meeting was that now is the time TO
strike. 1t was pointed out by lcadc rs
that If the industrial conference
should fail, it will throw the strike
back almost on the threshold Of win
ter.
Fear was expressed by some union
men that if the strike were postponed
the leaders could not prevent a walk
out. The radical element among the
steel workers, it was said at union
headquarters. would use postpone
mcnt to further the interests OF or
CARNATIONS outside of the American
Federation of Labor,
Poard members of the Amalgamatcd
Association said that certain steel
companies were dscharging men for
union activity and that they did rot
feel they could support postpone
ment while. this alleged discrimination
was going on.

Samuel Gompcrs, president Of the
American Federation Of Labor, who is
a member OF the national committee,
will noto attend the meeting to-mor
row. but will be represented. Mr. Com
pers is reported as favoring postpon
ing the strike if it will bring no injury
to the workers. -
A half hundred organizers, who have
been at work in the Pittsburgh field
for many months in 2 campaign to
unionize the workers, met here to-day.
1t was given out that they considered
matters pertaining directly to the
strike.
