New Orleans. March 1S.-Lower prices
We're forced in cotton today after the
market had shown periods of steadiness
in the early session by heavy and general
selling which was inspired by variety
of causes. First of ali was the much
better feeling regarding weather condl-
tons in the western belt, particularly
Texas and next was the claim from Texas
points of an easier spot situation. Pre-

the offerings. Late in the session old
contracts were 43 to As points off on the
most active months. while new contracts
were off so to 20 points compared with
the final quotations of yesterday. At
one time in the early trading old con-
tracts were 10 to IA points over yester-

The weather map was again wet in
the eastern belt. but the western belt was
dry and the forecast called for fair
weather in every state In the belt. Dry
goods accounts were again cheerful tell
ing of more business being done at high
er prices and these reports were back
of the early buying. Support was not
sustained and gradually the market de-
veloped an easy tone. The trade appears
to be forgetting that the next peace con-
ference development is likely to be the
signing of the peace treaty.
At the lowest of the day old contracts
were at a net decline of 43 to 70 points

UKRANIANS WILL NEVER GIVE IN TO THE POLES
Premier Says Ukraine Will Never Join Russian
 Federation.
SUFFER WORSE
 THAN BELGIUM
Asserts His Country Will Have Liberty If It Takes
 20 Years.

Vienna. Saturday, July 12-CBy A. P.)-The Ukrainians will never give in to the Poles who are advancing into their country. according to a messag ge received here from M. Tenn milky, Premier of the Ukrainian gov ernment of General Petlura. He add ed that the Ukraine would not join a Russian federation.
 "Overrun by Russians, Germans, Poles and Bolsheviki, the fate of the Ukraine is worse than that of Bel gium." the Premier's message says. We are also fighting an epidemic, but we will have liberty if it takes twenty years
 General Peelura begged the Al lies for muitions last winter for use against the Bolshevikf, but was re- fused. The Poles were given help and Hal1er's army was transported across Germany. In the army of General Haller are many men in khaki uniforms. calling themselves Americana, who are assisting the Poles in burning our villages and killing our civilians in such places as Tchertche, east of Lemberg. The Poles also are closing the Ukrainian schools, and churches and burning books printed in our language.
 We will not return to old Russia even if Bolshevism Is put down. It has been suggested that we join Ad- miral Kolchak; but he speaks softer now when he is weak and when he is strong, he will attempt to force us into a federation Once before in our history we federated with Rus sia which gobbIed us up. We have now created a union with other peo- ples of Russia for the purpose of se- curing our joint freedom. I do not think the free peoples of the western world will furnish soldiers to press down those who wish liberty"

COVENANT IS GREATEST OF ALL DOCUMENTS Sen. Swanson Makes SpIen- did Plea for Acceptance
 of League. NOT INVALIDATE
 MONROE DOCTRINE Not Be Superstate Nor Helpless, Powerless As
 sociation of Nations.

Washington, July 14-Praising the League of Nations covenant as lone of the worlds greatest documents, '' Senator Swanson, of Virginia, a dem ocratic member of the foreign rela- tions committee, told the Senate today that If the United States rejected the league it, would mean that she would skulk in the greatest world crisis that ever occurred '"
 The, speaker defended the league against the objections that it would sacrifice sovereignty and American traditions, and asserted that on the contrary, 1t would result in immense material gain in protecting America II integrity and preventing war. He de- clared it would not create a super government involve objectionable obligations, nor invalidate the Mon roe Doctrine.
 The pathway of our duty is plain, v he said. Let us not be. a-frighted By ours prodigious shadow as it pro- jects itself into world affairs. Let use not be deterred from our mani fest duty and destiny by q craven fear of becoming great in giving ser vice in a direction to a world in a direst hour of it's needs and dis tress."
 Pointing out that the war had shaken the social order to its foun- dation, the Virginia senator said 1t was the paramount obligation of re- spOnsibla statesmen to prevent an other such conf1a grafton, which would return the world "to the rule of brute force and barbarian of the dark ages"
 The covenant of the league has been assailed from two opposite ha he will neither be a super-ate nor sov- ereignty, nor a helpless, powerless as- soSat1on of nations. The instru- ment creating the league is a "coven- ant" entered into by Pvereign states. One of the attributes of sovereignty Is the ability to make covenants or agreem ments. That a state reserves it's full sovereignty is conrlusively settled by the provision allowing any member to withdraw. No nation super or otherwise, ever thus express 1y provided means for its dissolution.
 This covenant, if ratified by the than a treaty legalizing under our constitution. The plan for the for> nation. of the league is skilfully and the only one possible under existing political conditions
 "The second obligation assumed by each member is to preserve as against external aggression to terri torial integrity and existing political of all members of the gue." This is a natural corollary rom the first. In, the former we un- 1ertake not to rob our associates our selves. and in this we agree not to permit others to do 90. This guar antee of territorial integrity and po- itical independence is limited to those ! .ases where they are threatened or | attacked by external aggression,

 Wlakle the crowds on the boulevards were as dense as on armistice night the spontaneous enthusiasm of Mo- vember II was missing. Groups were dancing, singing and striving hard ,al- most painfully. to enjoy themselves but the majority of the people were present from mere cuyiosity. The presence everywhere of legless, arm Less and blind soldiers proved a deter rent to the enthusiasm of the throngs
 General Pershing rode at the head Of the American troops, which were separated from the French by a space of 800 yards. General Pershings per sonal flag, a scarlet field with a row of four white Stars, was displayed for the first time. It was borne by a mounted sergeent riding directly be- hind the American commander in chief.

CORSET WORKERS ASSIGN TICKETS
 TO PLANT DUTY
tContinued from Page One)

tContinued from Page One) box,metal and other departments were still working but he urged the corset workers to talk peacefully with these employees and try to persuade them to quit.
 You have a right to do peaceful pickotinE," he said. Walk up and down and ask the other employees in a peaceful manner if they won't join your cause. But don't collect in groups and don't argue. Keep within tho law and there won't be any trou- lle."
 When he called for volunteers to do picket duty every woman in the hall arose There were a few men cutters present and they also agreed to act ns ptclSets. The speaker said that ern- ployes of the Crown Corset Co. and the George c. Batchellor Co. are still working. He declared 1t was not fair Tor them to remain in the factories while the union is trying to help them. Efforts will be male to induce these workers to quit. No mention was made of the Birdseye-somers or the Ia Resistn plants which are still in operation.
 During -his talk Secretary Ornburn said there was nc use in blaming employers In a labor dispute. This Is strictly a. business proposition" he declared. The employers are trying to make a profit and If they can hire you for s7 a week instead of SIP they are going to do 1t. That's hu- man nature. The only thing We can do is stand together, present our de- mands in concrete form and then discuss the matter with the employers We must try and adjust things so there be no stoppaEe of work. if this
 
 we must bring all workers into the union.
 Secretary Ornburn declared the union fs opposed 10 the bonus and pension systems. He said the work CTS do not want charity but ask only fair wages. At the present rate" he said. you couldn't support your families week after you had been discharged"
 The speaker urged the workers to stand together in this crisis and for .gct all petty Jealousbes with other departments. He said this had ham pered the progress of the union in the past. When the union was or EHuized in this city four years ago it started an agitation which resulted in better conditions for corset em- ployes throughout the state. Since that time some of the members have ldlisn Dehlhu III thelr uueS and oth- CTS have shown indifference
 Remember" ho said. when you pay dues in Q lafor union you are a ftockholder in the only concern which represents the worker. By present. 1nE a united front to the employers you are able to get concessions which you could not secure as individuals"
 One woman proposed that a formal motion to strike be made but Secre- tary Ornburn said he did not think this necessary. He explained that as 1he employees had been lockeE out, a etrike really exists now.
