Winnipeg Police and Strike SYM

Clashes.
MANY HEADS CRACKED
Platoons Of Foot Constabulary Are
Stoned and Mounted Officers

and Kicked and Beaten.

ably and keep off the streets. ~
wish to avoid the use of sterner
methods If possible, but will use
other methods II necessary to
force law and order," he said.
Winnipeg, June 12.-About 10000
strikers and strike sympathizers ran
riot in the main business streets of
Winnipeg.
Dozens of heads were cracked by
clubs in the hands of the special po-
lice. Scores of people were more or
less injured. Platoons of foot consta-
bulary were stoned through the
streets. A dozen or more of the foot
men were beaten and kicked. Mount
ed police were dragged from their
horses and beaten and kicked into in
sensibility. One women was hit in
the head by stone and her condition
Is serious
But out of it all no one was killed
and the only shooting was when a
mounted man was cornered near the
Bank of Montreal and emptied his
revolver into the air to frighten back
his assailants. 1t proved poor strate.
gy, however, for the mob, angered
more than ever by the display OF
arms, dragged him from his horse and
beat and kicked him until a half doz-
en- comrades charged directly into the
mob and with their horses, bowling
over the struggling, fighting crowd.
Crowds Begin to Gather.
Crowds of strikers began gathering
at Main street and Portage avenues,
the principal business corner of the
city, coming from monster mass
meeting In Victoria park. Bunching
on two corners they began milling, and
deriding young Bob Rogers. son Of
Robert Rogers, former minister of
public works, who had taken over the
duties of traffic policeman Young
Rogers served four years overseas,
and came back with the rank OF cap
tain. He stood his ground In the face
of thousands of hooting rioters, until
finally squad of 40 special constables
on foot raced around the corner from
a side street.
Their appearance was the signal
for real trouble. They were rushed,
separated and several were knocked
down and kicked before they could
rally and beat off the mob with their
riot clubs. Then they formed in line
and started up Main street toward
City Hall park, four blocks away. 1t
was a procession, thrown into tur-
moil every few feet by rushes OF the
mob, but the constables, all returned
soldiers, held their line, the mob CIV
ing away few feet in front of them
but closing in solidly behind them.

Official Announcement Made Of
Early Decision Regarding
Reply to Germany.
BUT few ALTERATIONS
Reparstion Clause to Remain indeft
mite as In Original Peace Terms
French Warn Against Arro-
gance of Germans.

Paris, June 12.--Official announce
ment Is made that there is hope of a
comparatively early decision on the
reply to Germany. II IL said an
agreement In principle was reached
by the Big Four on the reparation
clauses, to the effect that no definite
sum to be paid by Germany will be
fixed in the treaty and that the ques-
tion will be left virtually as in the
original draft
In French circles 1t was stated that
the treaty as again submitted to the
Germans will be much less altered
than has been generally supposed.
Wilson Yields on Reparation.
President Wilson fought strenuous
ly to include fixed total sum i'm the
discussion leaves him unchanged, 1t
is said, in the belief that that is the
best plan.
1t is understood however, that the
president said that inasmuch as Pre-.
mier Clemenceau had insisted to the
the original draft he would sign the
reply as formulated
II was indicated that France was
still determined not to agree to any
material changes In the treaty.
French Lock League Doors.
Premier Georges Clemenceau is
especially firm In his refusal to agree
to the admission of Germany to the
League of Nations Immediately. The
French hold that they understand Ger
man psychology better than the Allies
and realize what the increasing AFRO
gance of the Germans during the last
few weeks means. They say they ap-
preciate how much this arrogance
would be increased IL the peace con.
ference should yield to tho German de.
mands for immediate admission to
the league. The French, 1t is under
stood, are willing that the Germans
should be admitted later, but insist
that this admission must not be In
compliance with what they term Ger

Senate Resolution Declares 0p.
position to Treaty in Its
Present Form.
KNOX IS THE AUTHOR
Also Declares Whenever Peace Of
Europe 10 Threatened the United
States viii Help Again In Re-
moval Of That Menace.

Washington, June 12.-With the In
PRODUCTION OF a resolution by Senator
Knox, Republican, of Pennsylvania.
proposing that the senate give formal
notice to the peace conference of
opposition to be expected should the
treaty be submitted for ratification
In its present form, the senate fight
over the league of nations was
brought to a more direct issue.
Senator Knox, member of the For
eign Relations committee. drafted the
resolution after conferences with 9TH
er league opponents and presented it
with the apparent support of those
who have led in criticism of the league
covenant.
While declaring for immediate con-
clusion OF q treaty dealing with the
direct issue of the war only, the reso-
luton contains a far-reaching propos.
al which would lay 1t down as a pol.
icy of the American government that
whenever the freedom and peace OF
Europe are threatened the United
States will consider 1t obligatory to
help again In the removal of that
menace.
Congress May Declare Peace.
Back OF it is the senate answer to
the threat that the ratification Of the
treaty will be forced because other
nations will have the advantage OF
the United States in trade until the
United States ratifies the treaty.
The method Of meeting this situa.
tion aims, in the event of failure OF
the Peace conference at Versailles, to
accept the verdict of the senate, to in.
woke the same power for ending the
war that declared 1t. The war making
power rests wholly with the Congress
OF the United States.
Accordingly II Is being arranged
that. in the event of failure to make
its declaration accented. the republi
can majcrities in both houses will de
clare our war aims to have been at
tanned and . state OF peace will be
declared.
The decision as to acceptance oi
membership In the league of nations
should be left without prejudice to
each nation, the resolution declares
for further separate consideration. n
also asserts the lack of authority by
the treaty-making power of the gov
ernment to make treaty which in ef
feet amends the American Constitu
tton.
AT Mr.. Knox's request the rssolu
tion was referred without debate tl
the Foreign Relations committee.

The law requires tax OIL cent on

One drink at five cents requires a /

each bought at the same time by one
