Senate Leaders Oppose Such Clauses if Not C0ncurred in

LODGE WANTS DEFINITE
 STAND ON QUESTION
Kellogg Declares Treaties Can Be Made Obligating the United States to Make
 War;

Washington, Aug "A deter
 mination to stand against any reser- vatlons to the peace treaty which does not specifically require acceptance by
 the other powers before the United Estates enters into league of nations 1 was voiced in senate debate today by
 republican leaders.
 Senator Lodge, chairman of the foreign relations committee, declared that while in general practice re- servation might become valid if unobjected to by the other parties to the treaty, he hoped there would be a definite declaration by the senate that to make the treaty binding, the other powers must accept reserva- tions made by this government The suggestion was seconded by Senator and later Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, declared that "to certain number" the opponents of unreserved ratification would insist upon such course.
 A proposition by Senator Pittsman, democrat, Nevada, that reservations be embodied in separate resolution and not made physically part of the ratification was opposed by the op- position leaders as Absolutely futile" Senator Kellogg, republican, Mime sota, however, argued that unless reservations changed the meaning of the treaty, their adoption would not impair the binding force of the rati- fication.
 Shantung Also Discussed.
 As an outgrowth of objections to the special treaty with France, the senate adopted resolution by Sena- tor Walsh, democrat, Montana, ask ing the judiciary committee whether there were any constitutional ob- stacles to that treaty's ratification Some senators have argued that be- cause it obligates the United States to help repel any unprovoked attack by Germany on France, the treaty curtails the constitutional power of congress to decide when the nation shall go to war.
 In an extended legal argument, Senator Kellogg declared it was clearly established that treaties could be made obligating the United States to make war under certain circum- stances. His discussion, however, was directed rather toward the obli- gations assumed under the league covenant.
 Although the subject did not enter into the senate debate there was much | informal discussion among senators over President Wilson's statement on Shantung. Some of the most bitter opponents of the treaty declared the information given by the president ! was not sufficient to dispel suspicion of Japan's intentions in the Chinese province, but other senators reserved their Judgment and the extent to which the ratification fight ultimate ly will be influenced remained con- jectural.

Will Walk Gut Today Unless Guards, Stationed Because of
 Race Riots, Withdraw.
100, ,000 PERSONS ARE
 PROBABLY AFFECTED
Hundreds of White Men Quit When 5000 Negro Workmen Are Brought Back On
 Job.

Chicago, Aug. Representative of AZ union locals of stock yard em- ployes voted tonight for general strike tomorrow unless militia, police men and deputy sheriffs are with drawn from the yards. More than l0O,OO0 persons are employed in the stock yards.
 A strike was virtually begun to- day when hundreds of white men quit ] their work because about 5000 of the l5,O00 negro workers returned to work after virtual exile of more than q week due to the recent race riots. Union men declared their objections based on the presence of the guards and that while they held no prejudice against the negro's color, the major ity of the negroes were non-union. While union men said about 5000 men had walked out, packing company officials placed the number at about $50.
 One More Dies.
 Previous to the strike vote of the local representatives, officials of the stock yards labor council held conference with Federal Judge Alsch- uler, federal arbitrator in stock yards controversies. It is known that the negro situation was discussed and it was believed that the judges aid in having the guards withdrawn was sought
 While the grand jury continued to hear evidence in the riot cases, and voted indictments against 25 more negroes, making total of 54 negroes indicted, there was little evidence of race feeling in the riot zones
 Two Mexicans were injured, one shot and one beaten in the stock yards neighborhood, both supposedly mistaken for negroes.
 A negro who was beaten during the rioting died today, making total of 36 dead.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Presideni Wilson tonight notified Director-Gen eral Hines that he was authorized tC take up the demands of railroad shol employees for higher wages and decide them on their merits.
 The president said that the letter sent him by Senator Oummins, chair man of the committee on interstate commerce, "had set me free to deal as I think best with the difficult question of the wages of certain classes of the railroad employees" but {, added:
 "The chief obstacle to a decision has, been created by the men them selves. They have gone out on a strike an dreputoated the authority of their officers. at the very moment they were urging action in regard tc their interests"
 The presidents decision was an. nounced tonight from the white house in the form of letter sent by him tc Mr Hines. The president said that i "until the employees return to work and again recognize the authority o1 their organization, the whole mat
 
 Wanted Senator's Approval.
 The presidents letter follows:
 "My dear MT. Director General: am just in receipt of the letter from Senator Albert B.
