Eastern Labor Surplus Grows,

WAsHINGToN. March 11.-Improve-
ment in employment conditions during
the current week was reported tonight
by the United States Employment Ser
vice. The decreas Sc in the number Of
unemployed, although slight was the
first to be reported since the signing OF
the armistice, and caused officials 10
take a more hopeful view Of the progress
being made toward labor readjustment.
The percentage of cities reporting
heavy SURPRISES OF labor over demand
decreased during the week from Sc to
So, while cities in which supply and
demand was on an equality increased
from 81 to IS per cent. The total num-
her OF unemployed was estimated by
the employment service at 35s,56O, a
decrease of $500 from last week. The
numerical reduction in unemployment Il
was explained, was largely due. how
ever, to a falling of in unemployed in
Cleveland Of about $1,000.
Labor conditions were shown to be
returning to normal most rapidly in the
Middle West. where the reduction in
unemployed during the week was suf-
fcient to counterfeit the increasing sur
plus of labor in the Eastern States

WON'T FORCE
LEAGUE PACT
CHANGE VOTE

The Administration Senators have
decided TO make no effort to force
action on the johnson amendment TO
the peace treaty until after President
Wilson has returned to Washington
and assumed direct charge Of the
treaty night here.
II was rgreed by all OF the Demo-
cratic Senators that the Johnson
amendment, which proposes 10
equaIize the voting strength Of the
United states and the British Empire
"a the League OF Nations assembly,
win be the hardest for them 20 de-
feat. They areed also that nothing
viii be gained by an attempt to force
the amendment to an immediate
vote, whereas delayed action may en-
able them to muster the votes needed
10 deEeat IL.
The Presidents followers agreed
upon a line Of argument against the
amendment which they believe VIII
effectively answer the arguments OF
its supporters Their argument Is
that III the amendment should be
adopted, France might raise the same
objection as made by the United States
and demand for votes in the league
then Italy might come along and de-
mand four votes and the controversy
would be carried on indefinitely, there
BY deprivinE all nations Of any bene-
fts from the treaty.
See Democrats Weakening.
The sudden change Of front on the
part OF the Administration Senators
with respect to forcing early action
on the amendment came after Sen
ator Hitchcock, the Democratic leader,
had announced earlier in the week
that he would make move early next
week 10 take up the amendment and
bring il TO a vote. The reversal OF
plans is construed by supporters OF
the amendment to indicate that the
Democrats are afraid that a vote at
this time might put the amendment
through.
Meanwhile Senator Johnson. who
had been summoned back to wash
iuEton TO lead the fight for his amend
ment, and then told to 90 on to Cali
fornia as originally planned, spent
the day in Minneapolis trying 20 make
up his mind just what he should do.
II was generally believed here. how
ever. that Senator johnson will con
tinue on his trip TO California. Ore
gon and Washington delivering
BY way Of salt Lake. Denver. Topeka
and wichita
Senator Curtis, the Republican
whip. sent a telegram today to Sen
ator Johnson urging him 70 60 20 the
Pacific coast, and Senator BOrah sent
q similar one.
Mild ReaeFvutiOuiEtn Active.
Mild reservationists in the Senate
today decided to oppose with their
six votes the Johnson amendment 20
the peace treaty. and to support as a
substitute the [cCumber reservation
on the same subject
The McCumber reservation con-
strues the league covenant as pro-
viding that when an empire made up
OF several voting parts gets into a
dispute. every part of-the empire is
prohibited from voting.
The mild reservationists expect
they said, that Senators Cummins,
and Jones OF Washington will vote
with them thus providing eight Re
publican votes against the johnson
amendment. This is clearly enough
10 beat IL as the most optimistic
claims Of its supporters count i've
Democrats in favor Of it.
