logical development Of any practicable

Mr.. McIlvaine said that the bill did
not represent the majority opinion of
the most capable men in the War De-

large;. and that a large standing army

President has himself unequivocally ex-
pressed his approval OF their substance.
His opposition is only to their being
embodied in the act Of ratification"
John G. Milburn says he Is In favor
Of ratification OF the treaty as 1t stands.
"At the same time" he goes on, IF

JUSTICE RICHARDS RESIGNS.
Times Action So HyIan Can Name
Successor.

Justice Edward A. Richards OF the
Seventh Municipal Court District,
Brooklyn, has sent his resignation to
Mayor Hylan to take effect the day af-
ter election. He is leaving the bench
because of his election as president Of
the East Side Savings Bank. At the
same time he is organizing a new law
firm.
The resignation of Justice Richards Is
deliberately timed, as he himself &C.
l,nowledges, SO that his successor can
not be elected this fall, and Mayor Hy-
Ian will have a chance to appoint a man
to serve a year. He suggests that 1t
would be better to have the voters Of
the district look around and decide on a
suitable candidate for election a year
hence. Justice Richards. who is a
Democrat. is serving the second year of
his second term.

The Friday poll on the league of

With only four more days in which
to think over the proposition, only 787
votes have come in out of a total of
1000 which were sent out Every

The United States is faced with the

Emphasis on a continued policy of
Americanism, against any relations

Police Commissioners Don't
Know What to do About Riot
Inefficiency, Says Member

The Richmond board of police COM
missioners is at a loss to know what
steps to take in the reha bilitation of
the city police force, severely indicted
by the grand jury as inefficient. in con
nection with the strike riots a month
ago, said one of the board Friday.
Mayor Zimerman, this member said,
had decided to call meeting. but be-
cause of serious illness, this was post
poned. AS the commissioners regular
meeting night is the first Friday in
each month, it is not now probable
that session will be held until that
time. he said.
One reason for the showing made
by the police force is that as their
number is determined by the number
of people shown in the city by the
federal census, and the city has out
grown its police force. Taking of the
1920 census should add several men

Meetings Called for Decision
at Two Points-Talk Of Re-
turning to Work at Youngs-
town.
Mr. .CoMPERS TEST|F|ES
(By Associated Press)


Three important developments were
pending today in the steel strike, any
one of which may have vital bearing
upon the outcome of the great indus
trial struggle
In Pittsburg, the national steel
workers committee was to meet late
today and a definite decision was ex-
pected in regard to calling out the
10000 workers in the Bethlehem Steel
plants Monday.
Although the company officials have
so far shown no inclination to comrro-
mise, local union officials at Allentown
expressed optimism over the prospect
of strike being averted.
In Youngstown, where the strikers
have succeeded in completely tying up
the steel industry In the Mahoning
valley district, meetings were an
nounced of unskilled and semi-skllled
workers to discuss the question of re-
turning to work.
Some mystery enveloped these meet
ings, as both the strike leaders and
the mill managers professed to know
nothing of their origin.
Seamen to Vote?
The third development was prom1s-
ed at Cleveland, where the executive
committee of the Great Lakes ship
ping unions. claiming to represent 49,
coo seamcn, engineers and men of
ellied trades, met to decide whether
their organizations would declare a
sympathetic strike. Such strike al
ready has been authorized by the In
ternaticnal unions.
With conditions in the steel centers
remaining virtually unchanged, the
fnyactips tinn "achin OF
was the focus Of attention on both
sides Samuel Gompers, veteran head
OF the American Federation of Labor
appeared before the labor committee
today.
Mr.. Gompers opened his testimony
with a statement that a question of
union organization giving the workers
a right tc voice In determining the
conditions under which they work
was paramount.
In the meantime the usual conflict.
ing claims were made by the opposing
generals in the pivotal battle grounds
of Fittsburg and Chicago, but all de
finite news indicated no important
change in conditions. At Pittsbure
two additional small plants closed and
an ettempt to reopen a third was re
ported by the police as having failed.
The management of the Illinois
Steel company at Chicago announced
that they had 1000 men at work, mos
Of whom. they asserted, were return
ed strikers. On the other hand, the
strike leaders offered figures as proc
that the strike was 100 per cent eff
fective at several points, 80 per cen
at Hammond, 95 at Gary and 80 a.

Luke Woodland, for years pastor Of
Fountain City, and one OF the oldest
Friends at the Indiana Friends Yearly
Meeting, said Thursday that after a
thorough study Of the covenant Of the
league of nations he could urge its
unchanged ratification.
"As read 1t, the ultimate result In
case of a dispute with nation going
too far, is that the other nations Of
the league would be bound to Join In

as Friends cannot vote. IL we do urge

we refuse to abide by 1t IL the occa-
sion arises for war;" asked Woodland.
