Last Of Amendments Are
Decisively Voted Down;

Eight Republicans Vote

Sherman Amendment to
Provide for Recognition
Of Power of Providence
Fails.

The last of the amendments to
the peace treaty, dealing with the
voting power in the proposed
league of nations, were defeated in
the Senate yesterday.
On the amendment offered by
Senator Shields, OF Tennessee, the
vote was 81 to 40; on the amend
ment by Senator Moses, of New
Hampshire. the vote was 80 to AZ;
on the amendment by Senator
Johnson, OF California. the vote
was IS to 49,
The Senate also rejected an
amendment by Senator Sherman,
OF Illinois.
Last Vote the Test.
The vote on the johnson amend
ment was the last taken and it was
the real test OF strength
With the exception OF Senator
Walsh OF Massachusetts. all the
votes were cast by Republicans:
thirty-five Democrats and eight Re
publicans voted against it.
During the debate. Senator johnson
sstiricslly questioned the good faith
Of those Senators on the Republican
side who stated they would oppose
the amendment, but would support
a reservation on the subject. He de-
clsred this was neither the frank.
honest nor courageous manner of
dealing with the question Of voting.
The only question involved. the SEN
aror said. was whether the United
States was entitled to have as many
votes as the British Empire.
Senator kellogg replied to this by
saying that a reservation would do
more than the amendment. because it
would refuse to bind the United
States to any decision in which any
member having more than one vote
had participated. Senator johnson
asked Senator Kellogg pointedly
whether he would support the amend
ment IL it should be amended in the
manner explained by him, and Sena-
tor Kellogg replied that he would not
Senator Lenroot announced that he
would support the amendment, al
though he believed a reservation still
was necessary to prevent the United
States from having to submit to a
decision on which all the six votes
Of the British empire should be cast.

STRIKE MORE DEADLY ATTACK
ON LIFE OF NATION THAN AN
INVADING ARMY, SAYS PALMER

Attorney General Palmer last night
gave out the following statement after
L conference with members OF the
Cabinet:
There can be no doubt that the
government has the power in the
public interest. under the law. 10
deal with the projected strike OF
the bituminous coal miners, with
out infringing upon the recognized
right of men in any line of in
dustry to work when they please
and quit work when they please.
The illegality of this strike can
and will be established without in
any way impairing the general
right to strike. and the general
right to strike Is not an issue in
any sense whatever in the present
situation. This is true because the
circumstances differentiate this
this case from the case of any
otter strike that has ever taken
place in the country. 1t does not
follow that every strike is lawful
merely because the right to strike
is recognized to exist Every case
must stand upon It's own bottom
and be governed by its own facts.
Therefore. when the President said
in his statement last Saturday that
such strike in such circum-
stances" is not only unjustifiable
but unlawful. reference was had
only to the conditions in the pend
ing situation.
Otusidc the Pale OF Law.
The proposed strike was or
dered in a manner, for a pur-
pose and with a necessary ef-
feet. which taken together put
II outside The pale of the law.
After the war began, the pro-
duction of fuel was regarded as
one of the subjects of such Pc
culiar public Importance as to
justify a special statutory en-
actment. The Fuel Administra-
tion was created to supervise
the subject and matters of
wages as well as prices were
considered and sanctioned by
the Fuel Administration. After
the cessation of hostiiities. the
Fuel ADMINISTRATION suspended
certain of its orders. but did not
terminate them. and they are d
time upon the Presidents order
and the statute under which
the orders were made is still in
full force.
With this situation existing,
the convention Of United Mine
Workers at Cleveland. last Sep
tember. decided to annul all
wage contracts on November
and took the unprecedented
step of deciding in advance of
any opportunity for consulta-
tion either with the government
or with the coal operators, to
strike on November 1. Unless
satisfactory new arrangements
should be made.
Without any expression from the
workers themselves. the organi-
zation promulgated a demand for
so per cent increase in. wages, a
six-hour day. and a fiye-day week.
and authorized strike TO be ef-
fective November ]. before the de-
mands were even presented to the
operators. The demand for a new
wage agreement covered only a
part of the coal fields, but the
strike order was sent broadcast
to workers in other fields where
operators had been given no op-
portunity to even consider derand
for increased wages or decreased
hours. All this has been done
while the miners In every. field.

Cabinet Meets Again.
Mr.. Palmer issued his statement
after a meeting in which all MEM
bers OF the Cabinet. with the excep-
ton OF those who accompanied the
King and Queen OF the Belgians in
their visit to Mount Vernon this af-
ternoon. were present
The government will act with the
powers conferred on the President by
the food and fuel control acts.
Protection will be furnished those
miners who refuse 10 carry out the
strike order and remain at their
work. This means that troops will
be sent to coal producing States IL
violent measures are adopted by the
miners unions 10 swell the ranks OF
the strikers.
Asks War Prices he Resumed.
One OF the first steps by the Presi-
dent. however. will be for the pro-
lection of the general pubic, Dr.
Harry A. Garfield. United States Fuel
Administrator. announced last night
that he would advise the President
to reinstate Immediately the maxi
mum government prices on bitumi-
nous coal.
Soft coal prices at present are higher
than the governments maximum
prices which were suspended February
II. The Presidents action. DIR. Gar
field said. will nullify any contracts
made since February for coal At
prices higher than the government $
old maximum prices.
May Meet Again Today.
Another special meeting OF the Co BIZ
net is expected today. At that time
an announcement may be expected
which will go into detail in explaining
just how the government is going to
prevent the strike In addition the
War Department will undoubtedly be-
E.n today its arrangements for the
quick transportation OF troops.
With the summoning of DIR. Garfield
10 the Capital yesterday it was re-
ported the administration intended 10
revive the Fuel Administration so that
it might become the Presidents
agency in the crucial situation. 1t sp-
peared last night, however. that this
would not be done. But the govern
ment's immediate steps, which may
be taken under the food and fuel con-
troll act. will probably follow these
lines:
Probable Step..

Bismarck. N D.. Sept. 1o.-Presi-

declared that the great question be-
fore America IN considering the treaty
is peace or war. The failure to rat
ify the treaty would result in despair
that would cause chaos, he asserted.
Continuing, he said: Men in despair
destroy governments and turn civiliza-
ton back to savagery" He stated
that Americas delay in giving its in
dorsement to the treaty is injuring the
whole world The audience was
rather quiet. Thousands of people
gathered at the auditorium to hear
the President. among whom were a
number of Sioux Indians. The
League of Nations covenant should
not be separated from the treaty. he
argued. You dare not kill the
worlds young men for dishonest pur-
poses" he declared. He emphasized
the statement that the adjudication
of disputes by the council of the
League of Nations would prevent
wars
