Matthias Erzberger's
Prestige Wanes as
Huns Agree to Sign

Berlin, June Is (By the Associated
Press).--Long accounts written tor
the Berlin papers by correspondents
at Weimar, telling of events preced-
ing the decision of the German gov
eminent to sign the treaty OF peace,
show that there was threat by
generals and officers of the volun-
teer troops to quit if the treaty was
signed without reservations. Gus
tav Noske, minister of defense, prof.
fered his resignation, but later suc-
ceeded in appeasing the officers.
He then withdrew his resignation
under pressure from his party and
cabinet ministers.
Feeling among military leaders is
still running high, notwithstanding
the fact that they are admonishing
the troops to continue in the serv-
ice. Major General Baron Won Luet-
twitz, in a special call, reiterates his
opposition to the peace terms, while
Major Won elisa, Herr Noske's ad-
jutant, has announced that Prus-
sian War Minister Remnant will
endeavor to defend the menaced
honor of the army and its leaders
by the adoption of special meas
ures." He will confer with Herr
Noske today.
Correspondents at Weimar are
unanimous in the belief that the
prestige of Matthias Erxberger has
been damaged because of his mys.
terious but emphatic assurances that
the entente would be willing to yield
on the honor issue, which failed to
materialize. Herr Erzberger's po-
sition is a subject of much specula-
ton and it is believed that as soon
as the peace crisis is passed, he
faces rather trying period.

ATTACKING CUMMINS
Railroad Men Object to
Arbitration
Clause
SPELLS REVOLUTION

Washington, Sept. 16.-Pres
i'd ents Of three great railway
brotherhoods and twelve presi.
dents Of other organizations rep
resenting in all 100000 railway
employees, have united in a signed
statement asserting that, if en-
acted, the anti-strike provision
of the Cummins railroad bill
would impose upon railway labor
two insupportable conditions
compulsory arbitration and eco
nomic servitude.
The union labor leaders say
the advancing Of the measure in
Congress at this time is ster
calculated only to increase the
economic and industrial Difficult
ties confronting the nation. The
railroad leaders say:
A law such as this would
spell the end Of labor organiza-
tions in America. Is this the in.
tent Of the provision? Does Con
gress, at the behest Of the alarm
ed business system, propose tc
try to break up the organizations
Of labor throughout the country
IS it decided that the time has
come to make this final fight?
"These are questions which de-
mand an answer. Every v-crking Q
man in the land is asking them as
he reads the newspapers. In his
heart he knows that to enact
this law would spell more than
the death Of trade unionism. Il
would spell the birth Of revolu-
ton.

Washington, Sept. 16.-Gov-
