WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Careful polls
OF the Senate made by Republicans
reveal 1t is now absolutely certain that
unless the Administration accepts the
complete Republican programme Of
amendments and reservations the
treaty, with the league woven into It,
will be rejected altogether.
Republican members Of the Foreign
Relations Committee met to-day to
frame a definite plan for action on the
treaty. 1t was decided, 1t is said, to
bring up the proposed amendments
and reservations to the treaty for a
vote at once. However, no definite de-
cision was reached and another meet
ing Of the Republicans will be held to-
morrow morning, prior to the meeting
of the full committee. According to
present plans every effort will be made
to expedite the treaty, and it is posi-
ble that test votes will be taken to-
morrow on the proposed amendments
and reservations.
1t is not in line with the majority
policy at present to publish specifically
the attitude of various Senators, but II
vote should come tomorrow 1t would
reveal a minimum Of fifty-two sena-
tors in favor OF reservations and
amendments.
1t was strongly emphasized tonight
that this number is likely to be in
creased before a final vote on incor-
ton resolution is reached, and before

THIRD ROLL CALL
PUBLICITY DIRECTOR

jefferson City, Mo.-In proclama-
ton addressed to the people of Mis-
souri, Governor Frederick D. Gardner
appealed to them to give their sup
port to the Red Cross during the days
of Nov. 2-11-the Third Roll Call
Campaign, and to renew their mem
berships at that time. The COVER
nor's proclamation follows:
State of Missouri, Executive Dept.
Proclamation
The American Red Cross will again
appeal for support in the "Third Red
Cross Roll Call Campaign" beginning
November and ending November IL.
Armistice Day. The great work of
the Red Cross did not end with the
cessation of histilities; indeed, the
pressing necessity for its humanitar-
ian ministrations continues.
During four years here was most
tremendous expenditure of energy for
the destruction of the world. 1t will
take the healing processes many years
to cure the wounds and bring the
world back to normality in mind and
action. Confidence between nations
must be restored. The spirit of SYM
pathy and mutual helpfulness, so es-
sential to the peace and happiness Of
mankind, must be encouraged and
strengthened by every agency.
The Red Gross is the most potent
and powerful agent for the doing OF
this MOST important work. 1t should
appeal to every lover of humanity and
friend of the oppressed.
Therefore, L. Frederick D, Gard
ner. Governor of the Commonwealth
of Missouri, do hereby request that the
people of the state set aside the afore
said period from November 2-11, in,

is sent to prison, it will be his own
fault, because he has been duly warn
ed to avoid committing unlawful
acts.
"The blunders made by such men as
Foster in the steel strike and Lewis
in the coal strike are sharp remind
err to union labor that it should be eX-
tremely careful in selecting its lead
ers. The man of violent speech and
extreme action is not the man who
should be clothed with responsibility
for the cause of union labor. This
is not a brute-force struggle, but a
battle of brains. If the workers will
run over the list of labor leaders dur
ing the last so years, they will notice
that union labor receivedHnost benefit
from moderate, quiet, intelligent men,
who carefully worked forward, point
by point, and held by law and logic
every inch they gained. The least.
benefit was derived from the harangu-
ing agitators who Dragged of their de-
votion and who advocated extreme
methods. The most successful labor
unions are those that are never en-
gagged in strikes and other interrupt
tons.
Americans are more than glad to
defend the rights OF labor. All of
them who are worth their salt are
themselves workers at something use
full. The country looks with favor
upon unions and recognizes that a
man has a right to work or quit work
as he pleases. The Government has
not the slightest intention to interfere
with the right of the coal miners to
quit work. Attorney General Palmer
has made this fact very clear. This is
a free country, and the people will
keep it free. Those who wish to quit
can quit, but they can not make others
quit. Those who wish to work can
work, but they can not make others
work. Therefore there is no ground
whatever for the fear expressed by
certain labor leaders, to the effect
that the Government is to be usei as
an instrument of tyranny in behalf of
employers against employees. That
suggestion is a gratuitous piece of
disloyalty, and if the labor leaders
in question were really patriotic Am
orleans they would not have uttered
it. They arouse suspicion as to the
quality of their Americanism when
they impute base motives to their own
Government. a8
"This is not a propitious time for
any labor leader to impugn the Gov
eminent, but rather time for fear

missioner Roper. at makes the Blu
reau of Internal Revenue the direc-

The Secretary and the Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue urgently express
I'd to both committees of Congress the
hope that this important responsible
ity would not be imposed on the
Treasury Department, burdened as it
is with fiscal and revenue matters.
Congress decreed otherwise, and the
Department purposes to respond in
the fullest degree to the duty placed
upon it.
"Not to enforce prohibition thor
oughly and effectively would reflect
upon our form of government and
would bring into disrepute the repu-

THE GOVERNMENT AND
THE STRIKE

1.-THE resolution adopted by the Unit
ed States Senate accurately reflects
public sentiment. The people stand
solidly behind the President and ap-
plaud the vigorous policy of the Gov
eminent in preparing to Illustrate the
efforts of the deluded men who seek to
freeze and starve the country into sur
render to their unreasonable demands.
If the leaders of the coal miners have
any discretion, they will avoid going
a step farther on the road that leads
to prison; and if the miners stop and
think, they will refuse to be made the
tools Of agitators who are seeking
only their own individual advantage.
1.-THE Government is in duty bound
to protect the people. If moderate
measures do not avail, then sterner
measures will be used. There is no
limit to the power that can be exerted
by the Government. 1t can crush to
powder any combination that raises its
hand against the public welfare. 1t
can reach out and take into custody
every individual, high or low, who
conspires to interfere with the out
put of coal or who aids or abets If
such interference. 1t can take charge
of the mines, put men at work, and
protect them while they work. The
utter folly Of the United Mine Work
er's leaders in assuming that they car
with impunity defy the United States
will become apparent very quickly il
the dare to go on with their criminal
work.
"There are rumors that other labo,
leaders will endeavor to bolster VI
the coal strike by ordering strikes or
the railroads. Let US hope that these
leaders will not make such mistake
which would be so disastrous to them
selves personally and injurious to the
cause which organized labor has giver
into their keeping. These leaders have
no right to sacrifice their followers
through motives of malice, anger, OF
private advantage. They hold sol
emn trust-the welfare of hundreds o.
