SHIP STRIKERS RETURNING,
Going to Work Under Old Condi-

Strikers at the ship building and re-
pair plants IN the port of New York
continued yesterday to return to work
under the same conditions which pre-
vailed before they went out. according
to statement issued by Henry C. Hun
ter. counsel for the employing corpora

Mr.. Hunter said that conditions in

Brooklyn reported the return of ma
chinists, and 1t was stated that 142 men
In various trades were back at the
Tietjen & Lang plant in Hoboken. Less

There is general dissatisfaction
among the men on strike and with few
executions they left their Jobs unwill-
ingly to obey the orders Of the union
leaders," said he. "Shipyard workers
are receiving higher wages than are
paid in any other industry. with the
two and half hours wages paid for

FRENCH SENATE TO
GET TREATY TO-DAY
Bourgeois Urges Immediate
Ratification of Pact.

PARIS, Oct THE Senate meets this
afternoon to begin consideration of the
treaty OF peace.
Leon Bourgeois, chairman OF the peace
commission of the Senate. delivered the
report OF the commission on the treaty
to the Senator's this morning. The report
calls for immediate and unanimous
ratification of the treaty 1t states that
the question at issue is not to compare
advantages which other Allied nations
receive from the treaty of peace with
those attained by France. but that the
treaty must be regarded from the point
Of view of its safeguards to French in
terests.
The report further argues that France
must ratify the treaty Immediately to
organization of the League of Nations,
which has commenced its work in
ILondon.
Bourgeois holds that the treaty as
drafted is consistent with right and
justice and that France obtains through
1t the political and moral satisfaction
required by her sacrifices. The country,
1t Is declared, can find in the temporary
economic regulations effective means for
economic recovery.
The Allies, NJ. Bourgeois adds, will not
be able to refuse to France the financial
guarantees she still lacks. The efficacy
OF the military guarantees against Ger
many will depend upon the vigilance OF
the control exercised and the strict ap-
plication of the prescribed measures.
NJ Bourgeois regrets that the cove
nant of the League of Nations does not
contain an absolute interdiction upon
making war and that France did not
obtain satisfaction as to the limitation
Of ornaments. but he expresses conf
dence that the >treaty will be amended
in that sense.
In his report NJ. Bourgeois further
argues that il Is just that the former
German Emperor, as the author of acts
contrary to The Hague conventions,
should be brought to trial, and ends
with an expression of satisfaction at the
restitution of Alsace-Lorraine and the
liberation Of the nations which have
been held victims to abuse OF force. The
solidarity Of the Allies. he Is convinced,
will continue during the peace which is
to come.

There are some who question whether

troops. This city, which in the days or
Roman power was known as lconium
and was the capital of the province or

virtually dominates southern Asia Minor
Its capture appears to indicate that
Mustapha Kemal is in control OF vast
region stretching from Konieh on the
southwest to Erzerum. the principal city
of Turkish Armenia, a distance OF about
426 miles. It is said the fall OF the
Turkish Cabinet was caused by the
capture Of Konieh. and there seems TO
be some apprehension in some quarters
that the Turkish throne may be In
danger.
On the other hand French circles point
ont that Djemal Pasha. the newly APP

which arose in Dalmatia when Capt.

the public group,

that engendered the conference and the

McNab asserted that II might degenerate
into meeting of proxies and the motion
was beaten down.
This means that the men of large
affairs who accepted service are bound

ably for several weeks. 1t seems that the
conference will be a long one, probably
running for three weeks at the least
For the labor representatives Mr.
Gompers made II plain that they were
prepared to stay right on the job, and
this view was accepted. There was no
consideration given to the fact that in
some instances 1t may work personal
hardship.
