MEN TO
TRY TO FORCE
REINSTATEMENT
May Begin Campaign to Re-
gain Jobs For Striking
Policemen

Boston, Sept. ia definite cam
paign to regain for the striking po-
licemen the places now officially de-
clared to have ben lost because of
desertion of duty was expected to
be inaugurated to-day. The action
was expected to depend upon the re-
suit of a conference between union
labor leaders and Police Commits
sioner Curtis. The commissioner at
the request of the union heads, con-
sented to the meeting on an unoffi-
cial basis. but the labor men said
they hoped to obtain from it an ex-
change of views which might be
made the basis of negotiations.
Those included in the proposal to
meet with the commissioner were
Frank II. Mccarthy, the New Eng
Federation of Labor; President John
F. McInnis. of the Policemen's s
Union and President O'Donnell. of
the Central Labor Union.
The extent to which the Amer
lean Federation of Labor would sup
port the fight for reinstatement and
recognition as a union was in doubt
to-day. Immediate danger of a gen.
eral strike, threatened by the Cen
trail Labor Union as its principa!
weapon in support of the patrol ap-
peared removed by the disposition
of the labor leaders to move slow
ly.
City Orderly
Restoration or the city to orderly
condition has been followed by re-
moval of many of the barricades
placed over store fronts and other
property as a result of the looting
in the early days of the strike. The
number of State Guardsmen on pa
troll was reduced to-day but all the
troops were still held in the city,
concentrated at centers for availi-
bility as emergency reserves. In the
streets, in some sections, rifles with
bayonets were displaced by riot
sticks to reduce the possibilities of
serious consequences in minor col
lisions between citizens and guards.
Preparations of the Federal au-
thorities to send Regular Army and
Navy troops into the city stood as
an emergency precaution, but it was
said that unless there were a gen.
eral strike, there was no likelihood
of their being called upon. The
State troops, however, are likely to
be on duty for some time as Com
missioner Curtis said he could not
hope to build up a new police force
in day, and any letting down in
protective measures would invite a
recurrence of lawlessness.

TEST OF STRENGTH
IN TREATY FIGHT
BEGINS IN SENATE
Lines Closely Drawn For Final Stage of
Controversy Over Pact and
League of Nations
WILL STAY CONTINUOUSLY
UNTIL RATIFICATION VOTE
By .4SSocidtcG Press.

Washington, Sept. 15.-All was in
readiness this morning at the ma
tional capital for the opening of the
final stage in the Senate Peace Treaty
and League of Nations controversy.
Lines are drawn by the opposing
factions and absent senators have
returned to Washington.
The Treaty with it's League Cove
nant was called up this afternoon by
Chairman Lodge, of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee and will be kept
continuously before the Senate in
open executive" session until the
final vote on ratification is taken
several weeks hence.
Coincident with the bringing up
of the Treaty, Senator McCumber,
Republican, North Dakota, who re-
fused to join his Republican collea-
CUES on the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, in the reporting of amend
ments and who declined to approve
the majority's reservation to article
ten of the League Covenant, will file
an individual report
Because of the enormous length
of the document, the formal first
reading" was dispensed with and
Treaty taken up article by article
This plan probably will bring an
early trial of strength possibly to-
day, with the reaching of article
three of the League Covenant, in
which is defined the voting power
of the various powers in the League
Council and Assembly. The For
eign Relations Committee majority
has recommended an amendment to
the article in the form of a pro-
viso stipulating that the United
States shall have a vote in the AS
se-2SIy equal to the aggregate vote
of any nation having self-govern-
ing colonies and dominions, also
members of the League.
This amendment, fostered by Sen
ator Johnson, Republican, Califor-
MIA, is aimed to make the voting
power of the United States equal
to that of Great Britain and her do
minions.
Negotiations are to be continued
during the week between the mild"
and drastic" reservationists. AS

Hours Before He Died.

view the country and the Republican
party are indebted for the publication
of this interesting document which car
ries a message from him "who, being
dead, yet speaketh." In the leading
article of the current number of the
North American Review Colonel Har-
vey sets forth the vital import of this
last penciled notation of Mr.. RoOse-
welt. He says:
"Mr. Roosevelt died the acknowl-
edged leader of the great party into
which he was born. His last written
words, penciled by his own hand a few
hours before his death and addressed
in the form of a memorandum for the
brilliant young man for whose selec-
ton as Chairman of the National or
%ganiZation he vas largely responsible,
were these, as reproduced above in
facsimile:
"'Hays
see him; he must go to Washington
for 10 days; see Senate and House;
prevent split on domestic policies
Here is evidenced as clearly as if the
few words filled a volume Mr.. Roose-
velt's realization of both his RESPONSE
bility and his obligation. The simple
memorandum marked the Inauguration
of a definite party policy, to be carried
through to a no less definite conclusion.
1t was more than a passing thought or
a mere suggestion. 1t was a Message,
signifying the need of immediate and
mremitting vigilance in achieving
complete unity of action in resolving
domestic problems before attacking
those of wider range soon to be thrust
upon the country-a true soldiers call
first to close the ranks.
Nothing could be more Characters
tic or more clearly illustrative of the
breadth of vision, the foresight, the
directness in method and the painstak-
ing attention of the man. Nothing,
too, probably could have served his
purpose better than that these words
should have been his last. Difficult as
it is to reconcile oneself to the decree
IF Divine Providence that the re-
moval of that great patriot at this cru
cial moment was not untimely, we can
not but realize, as he would have been
the first to acknowledge, that the last
vestige of animosities which might
have continued to impair his highest
aspirations vas buried with him, and
thereby the perfect union which he so
drdently desired against all things I'M
American was attained.
"Thus we find the Republican party
resuming full legislative authority
thoroughly united and invigorated by
the peculiar confidence which so often
carried it to victory in former years.

}gainst liberty and civilization Just as
.luch as 1t excludes any foreign flag
a nation TO which we are hostile.
