PROBERSLABOR
UP AGAINST II
Vice President of Steel Strike
Committee Tells Kenyon's
Investigators That Labor
Man Against Stacked Deck

Pittsburgh, Penna., Oct. 11.-Labor is
up against stacked deck" but it will
not continue to accept one law for the
rich man and another for the poor man
j. G. Brown, vice president of the stee
strige COMMITTEES warned the senate in-
vestigating committee today.
"A great danger is developing here
Brown declared. Labor is going ur
against a stacked deck all the time
Men whose forefathers fought in the
revolution aren't going to have theii
rights taken away from them il they
can prevent it,"
Browns warning came at the end
of long recital by labor organizers
and former workmen in the steel mills
and their wives. The committee lis
tened in awed silence while rough hand
ed laborers in broken English, declared
they were jailed without charges being
made; beaten even after in Jail cells
their meetings and all laws ignored to
stamp out the labor organizations.
Organized labor isn't going to see
one law for the rich man and another
for the poor man." Brown declared
raising his voice into almost shout
It's going to arouse them. When la :
Dor cant hold meetings except by suf-
ferance, institutions in this country
are in grave peril"
Brown is said to have been active
in organizing the attempted general
strike in Seattle last spring.
The steel strike could hove been post
poned If the labor leaders had been al
lowed to call meetings. Brown told
the committee. But the belief of labor
thmat it is not getting a square deal,
is increasing Bolshevism and in self
defense foreigners must be naturalized
naturalized as rapidly as possible 80
that they can by the vote throw out
those who trample laws under foot"
Brown declared.
Il doubt If we have held a single
at which we haven't urged the
men to become naturalized,' he con-
tinued.
Our object In getting them natural
lied is to GUST the kind of men now
holding office and put others in who
will recognize the rights of citizens"

All Ferry Boats Between New
York and Jersey Stop Run
ming Causing Critical and
Serious Situatai0n.

New York, Oct. 11.--Striking long
shoremen tonight had enforced idleness
on 125,000 men at the same time they
had appealed to fellow workers in ports
from Portland, Maine, to Savannah,
Ga, asking they join the walkout.
They had stopped practically all the
ferry boats operating between Man
haitian and Jersey City and had placed
Greater New York in a position as re-
CARDS food supplies which tonight was
regarded as serious. BY refusing to
have anything to do with four govern
ment freight ships and six government
transports which are nearing port they
had led the war department to an
nounce soldiers would be employed in
unloading government property from
incoming steamers.
They had created one Of the most
critical labor crisis New York has ex-
perienced.
Tonight there was one hope Of a set
tlement, but not In time to bring the
strike to an early conclusion. After
comforting with the national adjust
ment commission, the strike committee
agreed to a referendum among the
men to decide whether or not they
should return to work. Each man,
voting at a meeting of his local, will
be placed on record as to how he
stands.

RAT|F|ES The
PEACE TREATY
Vote Is Unanimous After Glenn
enceau Assures Ample Guar
antees Provided Against
Danger of Another Invasion.

Paris Oct 1.-THE French senate
ratified the peace treaty this afternoon
after 1t had received the assurance of
Premier CIemenceau that France had
been provided with ample guarantees
to protect her against the danger of
hundred million Germans.'
The senates ratification was unani-
nous, at members voting.
In his address delivered before the
vote had been taken, Clemenceau said:
Though we were compelled to al
low Germany means to defend herself
on the east, we have taken sufficient
precautions against her in the west
We realized the danger of a hundred
million Germans, but we have enough
guarantees.
I'VE would have been In better po-
sition IL Germany had been broken up
but 1t would have necessitated the con-
tinuation of butchery at the cost of
$4,000 Frenchmen who are living today.
President Wilson, who certainly Is
not in the least pro-German hopes
Germany will soon be in a position to
enter the league" said Clemenceau.
I'VE will not permit Germany to
enter until she has proved her good
faith In order to live, the league must
have statesmen who have sufficient
vision to force discontinuance of in
ternational distrust and rivalty.
Frances greatest need for the flu
ture is more children, otherwise the
fate of Rome will be the fate of
France"

London, Oct. 11.-Concern over the
united operations of German and Rus
sian troops in the Baltic region had
spread to the Esthonians today.
Reports from Helsin gfors declared
that after conference of army lead :
ers, the Esthonian chief of state, Cen
eral Scots had called upon the govern
ment for further help against the Rus

Goltz General Scots admitted the
Russo German cooperation was the
cause of great alarm in the Baltic dis
trict, but predicted it would be short

Advices from Copenhagen say it is
denied in German, sources at -Mitau- that
any troops subservient to the German
government are participating in the
hostilities between the Russians and
the Let's.
The occupation of Riga by advance
'guards under Colonel Bermond, Russian
general, cooperating with Won der
Goltz, was reported today but lacked

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 11.-Miners
and operators of the bituminous fields
apparently were farther from a settle

After negotiations today il was an
nounced that sub committee, COM

sides, would report their disagreement

unless 1t Is decided to continue in ses-

1t is considered doubtful that a set

miners, declaring they were radically
extravagant." The miners demand so

be adopted universally and worn on
arm bands by all members Of the
neutral stats.
Geneva has since that time been
the headquarters of the Interna-
tioral Red Cross society, which dis
tinguished itself during the world
war with its gigantic activity on be-
half Of suffering mankind.
Geneva As 1t Is Today.
At the southern end of the
glorious lake bearing the same
name, where the swift blue waters
of the Rhone emerge from it, and a
little above the confluence of the
Rhone and the Arve, lies Geneva,
a veritable prodigy Of nature and
one of the most perfect combina-
tons of all the elements which tend
to make life attractive.
Whether it be a stroll along the
imposing promenades skirting the
lake, where the distant Alpine
chain With Mont Blanc beckons
alluringly, or whether it be through
the old and new quarters of the
city, one encounters constantly
vivid proof of Geneva's dominant
leadership throughout the ages.
German Street Now Wilson Street.
The very names of the streets,
the rue Calvin, the rue Necker, the
rue de la Croix Rouge, the rue
Voltaire, the rue Farrell, the rue
Jean Jacques Rousseau, where
Rousseau's father lived, the Grand
Rue, where Rousseau himself was
born, are perpetual reminders of
the city's glorious past. Lately, as
a compliment to the president Of
the United States of America, the
rue d Allemange has become the
rue Wilson.
Old Geneva prides itself of St,
Peters Cathedral, that dignifed
memorial to its spiritual leader
Calvin. The construction of this
edifce was started in the 10th
century, on the site of an ancient
pagan temple, and completed in
the 18th century. Begun at a time
when the round arched Roman
esque architecture was at its height,
the structure was finished when the
Gothic period had attained its full
glory. The interior, with fine
.stained-glass choir windows, is of
rare, dignifed beauty and the mag
niicent Cathedral organ has for
centuries been the delight of all
music lovers.
In close vicinity to the Cathedral
is the ancient city hall, with the be-
aforementioned historic Alabama
room and opposite is the Arsenal,

confederates). After having seen
Berthelier in 1919 and Levrier in
ls24-the latter party finally won
the day. Treaties Of fellow-citizen-
ship, made with the various Swiss
eantons, assured to Geneva a secu-
rity which only became definite and
final after the adoption of the doc
trine of the reformation, as preached
by Farel, in 1885. The episcopal au-
thority was then abolished; Geneva
became a republic governed by syn
dies and councils elected by the peo-
pie.
Geneva's Literary Associations.
Jean Jacques Rousseau, son of a
matchmaker, born in Geneva in the
year 17l2, is one of Geneva's best
known literary celebrities. He dis
approved of the unjust distinction
then made between the arisbcrocy
and the poorer classes and as cham
pion OF the latter he exposed his
convictions in the "Contrat Social"
which, together with his Emile"
were committed to the flames by
the public executioner.
Gradually Geneva and its lake be-
came the Mecca of leaders in sci
ence and literature. Voltaire. Nine.
de Stael, Georges Sand, Dumas,
Daudet and Byron, Gibbon, Dickens,
Ruskin, Frances Havergal, Sismon-
di, De Sausure, Amiel-a veritable
parade of illustrious poets, novelists,
essayists, philosophers and scien-
lists whose intimate connections
with that fair and intellectual city
and its environs are forever inter
woven in its history.
Geneva, Cradle of the Red Cross.
The actual founder of the Red
Cross society was Jean Henri Du-
nant, philanthropic citizen of &C.
neva. On June IA, 1859. he CHANGED
to be present at the battle of Sol
ferino and was an eyewitness to
the vast amount of unnecessary suf-
fering that resulted from the inabil-
ity of the regular surgical corps for
the thousands of wounded who lay
upon the field.
Three years later he published a
book on his experiences and advo-
Gated an international convention to
provide for the aiding of the wound
ed in war. This convention, which
took place at Geneva and which was
concluded and signed on August q,
1864, neutralized the surgical corps
of hostile armies and volunteer So
cieties caring for the wounded. As
a compliment to Switzerland. the
Swiss flag in reversed colors, i. c.,
a red cross on a white field. was to
