Senator HaIe's Stand Fatal
Blow to Prospects of
Treaty Amendment.
OTHER REPUBLICANS IN
SENATE MAY FOLLOW
Maine Legislator Against All
Changes in Text, But Asks
Strong Reservations.

Debate on the Shantung amendment
TO the peace treaty was resumed in
the Senate today with leaders hopeful
that final vote on 1t would be had
before adjournment.
Although contending that the vote
would be close, supporters of the pro-
posal generally conceded that il would

Inc announcement of Senator Hale
OF Maine, republican, that he would
vote against the Johnson amendment
to the peace treaty and all other
amendments, today sounded the
death knell of the hopes OF those sem
ators who favor amending the treaty
text.
In recent days II had been their
nope that the Johnson amendment,
providing the representation OF the
British empire shall be no greater
than that of the United States in the
league of nations, would squeeze
through. They figured that four
democrats would vote for the amend
-ment and that not more than four re-
publicans would vote against il. Sem
ator Hale was not one of the four
counted against the amendment.

Senator Hale's Position.

In announcing that he would oppose
all amendments to the treaty text
Senator Hale declared. however, that
he would support strong reservations
in the resolution of ratification, and
II such reservations could not be had
he would vote against the entire
treaty.
1t is believed that other republican
senator's VIII follow Senator Hale in
his determination to vote down all
amendments to the treaty text and
support reservations. Senator Hale
strongly urged that action upon the
treaty be taken without further de-
lay.
At the outset of the debate Senator
Kellogg, republican, Minnesota. an
nounced his opposition to the amend
ment. declaring IL would be incon-
sistent for the United States to pre-
sumo to dictate in the far east now.
after remaining silent while Germany
and other nations had seized terri
tory there in years past.
The Shantung settlement was con-
demned as immoral by the Mime
sofa senator, who said he would sup
port a reservation by which the
United States would decline to be a
party to the transaction.

Industrial Politics Involve

Accusations that national politics
is playing part in the sympathy of
some of the men on the public group
with the demands of labor have been
stoutly denied on every side, but few
would dispute that there is good
deal of industrial politics involved.
For instance. there are employers
who feel that this would be an inap-
propriate time for them to grant or
ganized labor any concessions or any
thing that might give the impression
of surrender. especially in moments
when the employers are convinced
public opinion in America has tended
to swing away from organized labor
on account of an imprudent call for
a steel strike, as well as its vexing
stand in the police strike in Boston.
The feeling that organized labor is
getting weaker and not stronger
pervades the employer group.
But, after all, that is a minority
opinion, and if put to vote there
probably would be unanimous agree
nent on the part of members of the
public group as well as the labor
group that it is bad Industrial politics
to regard the mistakes of organized
labor in the steel strike or the police
strike as a fair basis for the denial of
rights that sooner or later organized
labor is going to be strong enough to
obtain.

Temporary Alliance Checks.

Definite promise of a COMPROMISE
proposal which would meet organized
labors principles covering collective
bargaining and arbitration of disputes
between employer and employe in in
dustry, made outside the conference
yesterday morning by Bernard Ba-
ruch. chairman of the public group,
brought about a temporary alliance
between the public and labor groups.
This alliance defeated the efforts of
the employer group to settle definite
1y the arbitration question by a vote
Mr.. Baruch's proposal in the con-
ference was that a vote on arbitra-
tion should not be made until the
committee on fifteen had reported on
a resolution dealing with collective
bargaining in industry, and that this
report must be made not later than
2:30 pm. today. Representatives OF
the employer group on the committee
protested they could not reach con
illusions on such vital subject In SO
short time. But when the confer
ence adjourned the committee was
charged with the ruty and effort to
have a fairly satisfactory compro-
mise measure ready for presentation
by this afternoon.
Bitter denunciation OF playing pol.
itics' by the public and labor sroups
was voiced this morning by members
of the employer group. referring tc
yesterdays alliance. The employers
declared. however, they will enter the
conference today with fresh hope and
ershusiasm. They will use their in
fuence to obtain an adjournment unit
Monday. as several of the group de.
sire 10 leave the city for the week end.
Collective Bargaining Discussed.

public group that the steel strike was

BASIC QUESTIONS
STIR CONFERENCE
Right of Workers to Organize
as They Wish Is
Vital Point.
SOLUTION MEANS PEACE
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Fundamentals which must sooner or
later be definitely settled lest there
be incessant conflict between capital
and labor are at last on the table of
the industrial peace conference for
final action. Shall the workmen of
America have the right to organize
into any associations whatsoever or
shall they be required to organize
only in such associations as their en-
ployers may approve? That is the
vital point around which the success
or failure of the conference now
hinges. Settle that and the steel strike
is settled. Settle that and the prin-
ciples governing other relations be-
tween employers and employees are
admitted on all sides to be suscepti-
BILE of easy solution.

Factions Nearer only Gin Theory"

Overnight discussions and early
morning debates brought the two fac
tions-labor and capital-as repre-
sented in the general committee of fif-
teen somewhat closer together in
theory, but not in substance, for the
employers were still arguing for the
right to deal only with representatives
of men employed in their own shops,
while the labor members issued prac-
tically an ultimatum that they can go no
further unless granted the right to or
ganiZe into trade unions or any other
kind of associations of their own
choosing. together with the privilege
on the part of workmen to go outside
their shops to employ counsel or
choose spokesmen-
Inside the public group the discus
sion was carried on along lines similar
to that in the committee of fifteen.
But the public group after all consists
of men of employer type and some in
close sympathy with them, as well as
socialists and academicians and a law
yer or two in close sympathy with the
labor group. So that agreement inside
the public group is almost as difficult
as agreement between the capital and
labor groups themselves.
