Speeding Up Process.
[By Fred S. Ferguson, United Press
Staff Correspondent
PARIS, June "a speeding up pro
cess similar to that adopted for com
pleting the German treaty, Is now
being applied to the counter proposals.
The more optimistic members of the
American commission predicted today
that the treaty would be signed BY
June 20. allowing five days to week
between the time the reply is placed
In the Germans hands and the date TO
be fixed for their final answer.
Allied experts were reported to
have reached an agreement whereby
the specific amount Of reparations will
not be put In the treaty, but France
and Belgium will accelerate establish
ment OF the definite sum of their
claims so Germany will learn the total
indemnities she is to pay within two
or three months after the treaty 1s
signed instead Of having to wait two
years as planned. The league COM
mission was understood to have
reached an agreement on the reply to
the Germans demand for immediate
admission to the league. While the
agreement is yet to be ratified by the
big four, it was said to provide that
Germany shall be admitted after a

will be excluded from the executive
council.
The territorial committee, it was re-
ported, has recommended rejection OF
Germany's demand for mandatories
over certain Of her former colonies.
This decision is said to have been
reached despite the suggestion of
American experts that she be given
administration of her former terri
tories In east Africa.
Foreign Minister Brockdorff-Rant-
Eau returned to Versailles yesterday
from a conference with German gov

Colonel House plans to go to Lon

Provisions have been made for ex-
tending American occupation of the
hotel Crillon to autumn, so that Secre-
tary Lansing, Henry White. General

ATLANTIC, CITY, N. j., June g
Unqualified endorsement is given the
peace treaty and league Of nations
covenant by the executive committee
Of the American Federation Of Labor
in it's report. submitted to the annual
federation convention, opening here
today.
The basic principles of lasting
peace are in the treaty, the report
says, and adds that with a peace so
built "the world has in truth been
made safe for democracy"
The covenant Of the league of ma
tions, the report continues, must
meet with the unqualified approval
and support OF the American working
people. It Is not perfect document
and perfection Is not claimed for 1t. II
does, however, mark the nearest ap-
proach to perfection that has ever
been reported in the international at
fairs of mankind.
1--WE declare our endorsement Of
the triumphs Of freedom and Justice
and democracy as exemplified in the
covenant of the league of nations"
Discussing the peace treaty as a
whole, the report states:
The introduction Of nine specific
labor clauses in the peace treaty de-
clares that the well being, physical
and moral of the industrial wage
earners is of supreme International
Importance
mo such declaration has ever been
written into international law through
any previous treaty Of peace and 1t Is
due to the efforts of American labor
more than to any other single factor
that it appears in this emphatic form
in the present treaty"
The report reviews the pan-Amerf-
can labor conference held at Laredo,
Texas in November.
A long reconstruction program
called the most complete and most
constructive yet made in this country
is set forth in the report.
The measures making UP the pro-
gram are:
Democracy In Industry:
The report declares 1t essential that
workers should insist upon their right
to organize into trade unions; that
legislation should be passed making
il criminal offense for employers to
attempt to interfere with the rights.
Unemployment:
Unemplo ynent, the report says, is
caused by under consumption which,
in turn, is caused by low wages.
Wages:
After declaring that there is no
n,ethod for obtaining Just wages ex-
cept through the trade union move
ment. the report says:
The workers of the nation demand
living wage for all wage earners,
skilled or unskilled-a wage that will
permit the worker and his family to
live in health and comfort"
Hours:
The report reiterates the demand
for an eight hour day with overtime
prohibited except in emergencies.

CHICAGO, June 9-S J. konen-

Telegraphers Union of America, who
Saturday called q strike Of all tele-
graphers and electrical workers for
Wednesday, said here today he had
no reason to expect official action
from Washington. looking toward set

IF there Is such a move on foot,
know nothing of IT," he said.
Konenkamp said he has received
I, kilograms from all parts OF the United
States and Canada giving notice OF

Government Action.
! WASHINGTON June 9--Some Off
cial action to forestall the threatened
strike OF telegraph and telephone
workers scheduled for Wednesday was
expected here today.
President Wilson, according TO
white house officials, has been fully
informed OF the facts In the strike.
There is no intimation as to what
action the president may take, but 1t
was stated positively that he will not
remove Postmaster General Burleson,
despite the storm of protest against
Burelson's conduct Of the wires.
Burleson yesterday held all day
conferences with wire and telephone
officials, but declined to make any
statement as to what course Of action,
Il any had been determined upon.
Officials of the Washington union
today declared that telegraph business
will be completely tied up here II the
strike goes into effect on Wednesday,
dspite the fact that the locals here and
in New York are admitted to be
among the weakest in the country.
A tie up Of business here would
seriously cripple if not totally halt
government business, it was pointed
out today. The prospect that the
strike may tie up the cables to Europe
thereby cutting off President Wilson
from communication with Washington
was also causing concern among offi-
cials here, even though Interruptions
of cable service as far as the presi-
dents messages are concerned would
only be few hours.

will not be resorted to until these two
agencies have definitely failed to-
secure any agreement between the
,uorters and the companies
Neither the postoffice or labor de-
partments today gave any intimation
as to what were the lines on which
they were working to avert the threat
