L, C., MARTIN.

Washington, October 1.-Senators
both for and against the peace treaty
are hunting an answer to the cues
ton:
If the peace treaty is not ratified
or if it is ratified and President Will
son refuses to sanction it, what then
will happen?
Democrats declare that if the trea-
ty fails to pass as the president de-
mands it they are certain he will re-
fuse to take it back to Germany and
the allies for change. His proposal
is to throw the whole responsibility
and blame on the people who chang
ed the terms, by amendments or res
ervations. If the terms are such that
they need not be carried back to an
other conference but require adjust
ments with other governments it is
not expected that the president W III go
at all out of his way to assist ID maxi
ing the path Of the changed treaty
easier. Thus stands the deadlock.
Attitude of Democrats.
One of the leaders of the senate,
who has dealt intimately with the
leaders of both sides, declares that if
the senate was to vote, each man on
his own convictions, that not more
than twenty democrats would vote for
the treaty in it's present form. The
League of Nations covenant, he as
serts, however. has the enthusiastic
Import of many and that to save this
covenant they are wiling to agree to
the reservations proposed.
Without reservations it is the gen
eral belief that the treaty would be
defeated and also the league covenant.
This is the view which Senator Nc
Cumber, stalwart republican support
er of the league has taken.

RAYMOND cLAPPER.

y
Washington, October Flat re-
fGsal to deal with organized labor In
any manner was made by Judge Gary
in his testimony before the senate in
vestigating committee today. Through
a long series of cross questioning
Judge Gary stood without budging for
the principles he declared at the time
the strike first threatened.
Judge Gary claimed that to deal
with the representatives of union Ia
Dor would lead to the closed shop. He
said this would be detriment to
the general prosperity of the country.
In answer to questions Gary testified
that the poorest paid workers were
receiving forty two cents an hour for
eight hours work and time and
half for overtime. He said the work
ing day was ten hours and this made
81 81 per day the poorest scale paid
to men. Some boys, employed to
open doors, he said, were getting So
a day.
Rollers Paid $s2. Per Day.
Highest paid rollers in the plants
receive $32 Sc a day, Gary testified.
The general average in the manu-
featuring plants, he said, is 1927 q
day, excluding the executives of the
plants. Throughout the plants the
average for unskilled workers is S.
day and for skilled men is $3.50 .
day.
In the open shop Gary asserted
promotions took place on the merit
system. Charges by the union lead
ers that union men in the plants were
mistreated were declared by Gary to
be absolutely groundless.
"They have no vestige Of truth" said
Gary.
For years Gary declared it had
been well known that the labor lead
ers had endeavored to establish their
organization among the steel work
ers. He claimed the men were the
best paid and were treated with cour-
tesy and consideration not equalled
in any other Organization In the
world. Sss
