Il have never known a mother, who
had lost a son in the great war, speak
against the league of nations, Repre-
sentative ]. Thomas Hefiin, Of Ala
bama, declared at a meeting held yes
terday morning In the Eighth Street
Temple under auspices Of the Jewish
Welfare Board
People who are against the league
of nations are in favor OF the NUM-
ton manufacturers and gun factories
rather than the boys who died on the
battle field" he said THE league or
nations will do away with ruthless
warfare, but unless we form some
such a league for our future defense
some leader who desires military
glory as did the Kaiser. will break
forth again within the next twenty
years"
MIR. Helm predicted that many OF

signed the round robin objecting I"

Quested by their constituents to resign.

In 1909 twenty nations OF the world
assembled in London at a peace coh-
ference, he said, and yet while they
were talking peace one nation was
preparing war. the most disastrous
war in human history. With that con-
fict we had nothing to do in the be-
ginning. and yet we had to make an
end Of it. Every morning while the
conflict was raging people in WASH
ingtOn awOke with dread, scanning the
headlines in the fear that Germany
would conquer, and yet some would
have US stand aloof now.

Very few expected that yesterdays

think about the ultimate issue of the
strike, the fact there Is a struggle on

The situation is serious irrespective
of result. The street is growing more
and more cautious and watchful.
Trading today was about in the same
volume as yesterday. The result
after the first hour or so was heavi-
ness in the general list. In the
initial upturns, the oils and motors
did play well. Baldwin Locomotive

materially.

WAR
is STARTED
Steel Strike is First Skirmish keyon
Declares in Urging Senate to
Make investiga-
ton.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.1
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The
steel strike Is the first skirmish In an
industrial war in the United States,
Senator Kenyon, Iowa, declared to-
day, in urging the senate to adopt his
resolution for an investigation OF the
strike.
The senate today unanimously adop-
ted the resolution.
Kenyon announced E. H. Gary, head
of the United States Steel corporation,
will be the first witness. He Is to be
heard Thursday.
John Fitz Patrick, representative OF
the workers, also is to be called Tor
that day, Kenyon said.
The Kenyon measure Is a senate
resolution and does not require con
currence of the house.
Kenyon's resolution provides that
the senate labor committee shall begin
an inquiry into the causes OF the strike
Immediately and report whether con-
gress can or should take any remedial
action.
Kenyon announced the inquiry will
begin as quickly as it is possible to get
witnesses to Washington. He plans to
call representatives, both of the
workers and the employers.
At the same time, w. B. Rubin,
counsel for the steel men was at the
capitol trying to arrange conferences
with senators and house members.
Rubin will probably confer with
Senator Kenyon.
Senator Smith, South Carolina, said
interference by congress In the prl-
vate affairs of people Of the country
looks like socialism.
Kenyon declared that his resolution
was introduced as a measure in behalf
of the people and not at behest
either of the strikers or the en-
ployers.
Senator Thomas, Colorado, offered
resolution to express "the dis
approval of the senate at the steel
strike. The resolution criticized the
closed shop as "un-American."
Senator Thomas declared that Judge
Gary's refusal to confer with union
leaders was 'unwise and unjustified"
although the strike was "repugnant
to free institutions.
Senator Norris, Nebraska, said the
investigation would do great good by
disclosing the truth about the con.
troversy.
1T will place before the country a
statement of just what the issue is,
and will give publicity to the facts"
Norris said. "a fair, honest statement
of the controversy will do more to
cure the evil than would legislation"

PLUMB TALKS
TO COMMITTEE
Says Law Prohibiting Strikes by Rail.
road Workers Would Lead
to Industrial Revo-
luton.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Pr1hib,t
ing strikes of railroad workers would
lead to industrial revolution, Glenn
e. Plumb warned the senate inter
state commerce committee today.
Plumb, general counsel for the
brotherhoods, and author of the
Plumb plan, appeared to oppose the
Cummins bill, which would return
railways to private owners and mako
strikes misdemeanor.
"This bill goes at the problem
wrong end to-" he said. cit is not
protecting public interests, but pri-
yate, and violates the constitutional
privilege of the men. Two million
workers cannot be put in jail"
Plumb does not believe labor would
be justified in calling a general strike
to force adoption of the Plumb plan.
In future, Plumb said, strikes will
be used to reduce the price of COM
modities.
Senator Poindexter asked Plumb to
tell what kind of revolution he ex-
poets If congress enacts the Cummtns
bill.
EITHER the party in power in the
government will be displaced or there
will be such total suspension Of
production that much worse things
may follow" Plumb replied. 1--WE
don't want revolution-we are striv-
ing 20 prevent it, but we will know
the forces underneath and you may
make us powerless to STOP It If you
pass the wrong kind of legislation
Plumb predicted that If transpro-
tation rates are increased the deficit
which the government is mourning
will be increased instead Of de-
creased Reduce rates if you want
to increase revenues, ne said.
The committee was to hear Warren
Stone and Samuel Gompers later in
the day. Efforts will be made to
pass the legislation returning the
railroads to their owners at this ses-
sion which ends the first Of Deem

ABOARD PRESIDENTS TRAIN,
MOONOTELLO, Nevada, Sep. %
Exceedingly dusty desert country
was being crossed today by President
Wilson on his campaign for ratifica-
ton of the treaty.
Precautions were taken by DR..
Grayson to safeguard the president S
voice against the effects Of sharp
rises and declines in the temperature
and the dust, which shifted every
where and filled the air.
A sheaf Of kilograms, some Of them
bearing, it was understood, on the
steel situation and other labor diff
culties, was delivered aboard the
presidents special this morning.
Small crowds clustered around
Wilson's car at stops in the desert
and the people were different from
any he has met so far, being more
of a frontier type.
Most of them were interested in the
league Of nations and wanted to
make inquiries about it.

MY TASK.
To love some one more dearly every
day,
To help a wandering child to find his
way,
To ponder over a noble thought and
pray,
And smile when evening falls,
This is my task.
To follow truth as blind men long for
light,
To do my best from dawn Of day till
night,
To keep my heart fit for His holy
sight,
And answer when He calls,
This is my task.
And then my Savior by and by to
meet,
When faith hath made her task on
earth complete,
And lay my homage at my Masters
feet,
Within the jasper walls,
This crowns my task.
