State Roads Gaps Filled.

When State roads work is shut down
for the winter practically all the really
important gaps in the main thorough
fares will have been filled in and the
work that will have to be carried over
will be chiefly on the lateral lines.
The most important links that will
be completed will be the section OF
highway between Oonowingo and Ris.
ing Sun, which gives second road to
the Pennsylvania State line on the
northeast, the road between Knoxville
and Harpers Ferry, w. Va, which will
give a through route to the Shenan'
doah Valley, and the section OF State
road through Aberdeen, which forms
link in the main highway to the
north.
A section of gravel road between
Northeast and Elkton has been under
reconstruction practically all summer,
but this is now about ready to be
opened to traffic. A great portion of
the link between Knoxville, Frederick
county and the Potomac River at
Harpers Ferry has been finished and
the remainder will be completed within
a few weeks. There has been delay on
this construction owing to the necessl-
ty of relocating the road so as to abol,
lsh two dangerous grade crossings OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
Another important Improvement, and
one which Chairman Frank H. Zouck
says he expects to see completed this
year, is the widening of the road be-
tween Belair and Washington. When
this is done there will be 2O-foot
highway all the distance, and this sec
tion is the one that carries the greatest
volume of traffic of any in the entire
State.
This year for the first time the oiilng
of all the State roads was completed
early in October, and they are all IN
better shape than they have ever been
before, and some of the roads hrst
built, in sections where the traffic IS
not heavy, appear to be even better
than thew were when new.

Washington.-Reopening its consid-
GRAFTON of the peace treaty, the Sen.
ate Foreign Relations Committee
adopted ten revised reservations, in
Guiding a provision that the Senate
qualifications must be accepted by
thrsgDf the other great powers be-
fore the treaty ratification becomes
effective.
Among them was a new proposal
which administration senators de-
clared would break down the economic
boycott features Of tine League of Ma
tons covenant and a reservation on
Article X differing only In the trans
position of one phrase from that
which President Wilson has announced
he would treat as a rejection of the
treaty.
Then ten reservations were part Of
list presented by Chairman Lodge
and declared to represent a compro-
mise behind which a majority Of the
Senate is pledged to stand. The ad
llCitlUSlS VI IlS SOullItiL'
tee headed by Democratic leader Hitch
cock, tried in vain to secure modifica-
tion OF the majority proposals and
then voted solidly against all of them.

Of an interpretatiye character in the
ratification resolution Senator Hitch.
cock and his colleagues offered substi.
tutes for several sof the reservations
presented. but mot a single substitu.
tion or change was made at their sug-
gestion.
The ten subjects covered by the res,
ervations, were: Withdrawal from
league memberships; Article X; the
right of Congress to authorize man
dates; national supremacy over do
mestfc questions; the Monroe Doc
trine; Shantung; limitations on the
reparations committee; the power of
Congress to determine contributions
to league expenses; the right to in.
crease armament in certain circum.
stances, and the right to continue
trade with a covenant-breaking state.
In the vote on every one of these
reservations, Senator McCumber, Re.
publican, North Dakota, who had
stood with the mild reservationists"
against all previous committee pro-
posals voted with the majority. In
every case, too. Senator Shields,

LABOR DEMANDS
FACE CRISIS
President Wilson's Vigorous
Steps to Save Its Life
SENDS NOTE TO LANE
Right To Bargain Collectively Lost
Slate Thus Swept Clean And
Farley Back Where IL
Started.

Washington-A a day of uncer-
tainty, during which President VII
son sent to Secretary Lane, chairman,
a message of conciltation to be used
as "last resort" the National Indus
trial Conference cleaned It's slate by
rejecting all collective bargaining res
olutions as well as the labor proposal
for Intervention in the steel strike
The public group aligned with cap
ital on the vote against both the orig
tnal collective bargaining and steel
strike resolutions, although the dec
laration on collective bargaining was
proposed by the public delegates.
Prior to the vote on the original dec
laration, the employers substitute and
two new amendments by Thomas L..
Chadbourne, chairman OF the confer.
ence's central committee met defeat.
Only the employers favored the sub.
stitute, and labor and capital united
in their opposition to the amend
ments.
When the conference reconvenes,
it will be in practically the same posi-
ton as at the opening on October s..
In adjourning the session Secretary
Lane declared that the conference
"had produced nothing and advised
1t to take new start by adjourning
for several days while a co-ordinating
committee of not more than six men,
5ers frame a program of action.
Defeated on every point and having
lost the support Of the public group
which heretofore has been on the side
OF the workers, the labor delegates left
the conference hall disheartened and
feeling. as some of them said, that
little could be gained by further meet
ings.
Should labor show disposition to
bolt the conference. Chairman Lane
will undoubtedly use the Presidents
letter In an effort to avert the crisis.
Reading of the letter. was said to be
entirely discretionary with the chair
man, who declared that he would not
produce 1t unless the situation became
acute. Although labor may force the
disclosure of the contents, it was gen.
orally predicted that the workers
would not withdraw The Presidents
message, it was understood, restates
the purposes for which the conference
was convened, emphasizes the urgency
of the need for allaying industrial un-
rest and make plea for further work
on the part of the conferees.

Washington. Announcement
that President Wilson had appoint
ed Owen d. Young, of Schenec-

tending to any business. These

official act the President had taken
since he became Ill. Rear-Admiral
