ABANDON LEAGUE FIGHT
Opponents In Senate Appear to Chance
plans

Opponents In Senate Appear to CHANGE
Plans.
Washington, July IA. P)-With
the beginning today of weeks recess
of congress it seemed assured senate
opponents of the leagtle Of nations
would abandon any plan for formal
senate declaration on the subject be-
fore the fight for actual ratification of
the treaty begins.
Until the recess plan was suggested
II had been the apparent purpose OF
opposition leaders to make an effort as
soon as the appropriation bills were
passed to bring some senate action in
advance of presentation of the treaty
For this purpose it was said the oppo-
sition would press the resolution OF
Senator Knox, republican, Pennsylva-
mia, to serve notice of unwilingness to
accept the league as an inseparable part
of the treaty, and that of Senator FALL
republican, New Mexico. to declare
state of peace with Germany.
IT now is expected, however, the
treaty will be presented as soon as the
recess is over. and both of these reso-
lutions will be considered then to have
outlived their usefulness. Present in
dications also are unfavorahle to any
other collateral effort by the league op-
ponents and the general prediction Is
that from now on it will be straight
out and out fight over unqualified rat
inCat tiOn.

KONENKANP CALLS OFF
KEYMEN'S STRIKE
ADMITS FAILURE TO AC-
COMPLISH END.
Tries to Saddle Blame on
Burleson and Demo
cratic Party.

New York, July 2-Percy Thomas,
deputy international president of the
Comnercial Photographers union. an
nou this afternoon that the strike
of = N telegraphers against the
w IN Union and Postal Telegraph
CT : inies was called off at o'clock
7 afternoon.
Y : Official Announcement.
hicago, July 2.-The strike of
.-mbers Of the Commercial Telegra-
SIers' union against the Western
:, MON and Postal Telegraph compa-
lies was officially ended at noon to-
day, according to an official order
issued here by s. ]. Konenkamp,
president of the union. Konenkamp,
in an order made public at noon, Of
ficially instructed the men to return
to work Immediately.
Konenkamp declared in the order
which ended the strike that when the
walkout was first ordered it was not
intended as an endurance contest,
but as a final protest against unfair
treatment" by the wire administra-
tion. 1t has been impossible, Konen-
kamp said, to make the strike acute
enough to force action.
The blame for the failure of the
strike was placed largely upon Post
master General Burleson, who, Ko-
nenkamp declared, has refused to
grant the telegraphers justice.
His party must take the blame"
said Konenkamp's statement.
Efforts to strengthen the union
and increase its membership will
continue, the president said, and the
fight for recognition by the telegraph
companies will be further waged.
Konenkamp stated that some reor-
ganization of the union doubtless
would be necessary. but that it's es-
sential purposes will not be altered.
New Contracts Signed.
New York, July Announcement
was made today of the signing of new
contracts between the union telegraph
operators and the international News
Service. the Universal Service and the
United Press association. The three
contracts are identical in their terms
and cover the fiscal year of July /.
k91g-1920. They include a new wage
scale, based upon demands of the
operators for increased pay consistent
with the increased cost of living, the
justice of which was recognized. The
operating cost of the press associations
under the terms of these new contracts
will he increased approximately 5000, 900
per aEnum,
The contracts also provide for equi
table working relations between the
union operators and the three press
associations.

Associated Press. though not recogniz-
ing the press operators union, had
granted increases in the pay OF opera
tors on terms Identical with those ac-
ccpted by the International News Serv-
ice. Universal Service and United

Plan to Control Explosives.
Washington, July 1.-(Special.)-Th
senate amendment to the sundry civil
bill providing for federal supervision
and control Of explosives has met with
such opposition In the house that the
conferees were instructed by unanimous
vote to refuse to accept it in confer
ence.
The amendment is for the control of
production, disposition storage and use
of explosives, providing for an inspector
at S5,000 fourteen assista ats at $500,
and a large number of clerks and other
employees.
The objection was raised to the
amendment because of the hardships ii
would entail on coal operators hard
ware dealers and all others who handle
explosives and that it infringes the
rights of the states to properly safe
guard such things. II have received
about forty kilograms from coal men
and others who handle explosives"

against the passing of this amendment.

strictive of industrial progress and that

Berlin, July "a. N. ST. lie
German cabinet left for Weimar late
last night with the intention of pre-
senting the treaty of peace to the
national assembly for ratification
this week.
Several members OF the g )vern-
ment said they believed the treaty
would be ratified without a great
struggle, but others predicted oppo-
sition rrom centrists and conserva-
tives.
In some circles 1t is even feared
that the national assembly, though
it has already voted to accept the
treaty, may nowI refuse to ratify.
which Is quite in keeping with the
present grotesque 4and chaotic situ-
alton where everyone is protesting
violently against everything and go
ing on strike on the slightest provo
cation.
The demand of the street car men
is an instance. Each employe is
demanding that the street car COM
panies give him $125 to pay his per-
sonal debts.

strike is not enCed. Some trains
including those carrying food, are
now running. The bank employees
are expected to Mrike momentarily
in protest against the. arrest of one
of their leaders, who is still in GUS
tody. Efforts are being made to pre-
vent the proposed bank strike from
becoming countrywide,
The political significance Of these
disturbances is enhanced by reports
from Hungary that soviet represen
tatives are disbursing funds here.
The German government Is showing
some uneasiness, and Minister of
Defense Noske has issued an oder
prohibiting the sale of firearms.
Thus far there has been no trouble,
except that the striking street car
men have stopped cabs and taxis,
pulled out the passengers and sent
the drivers home. However, a repe-
tition of the March disturbances is
feared.
No Definite Steps Taken.
Berlin, Tuesday July IA. P)-
The Deutsche Algemeine Zeitung
states it is authoritatively informed
no definite steps have as yet been
taken by Germany for a speedy rati-
fication of the peace treaty, for the
reason, presumably, that a number
of preliminary questions, particularly
those exactly fixing the frontiers in
regions to be ceded, must first be
settled

agreeing that a desert is no place to

The bartender at the Ritz Carlton

Reisenweber's announced a falling off
in receipts for the first twenty four
hours of about $4,000. Many other big
cafes were hit almost as hard and the

that they failed to reopen for business

bourgeois element of the country to
rally around the trio color and to op-
pose bolshevism. Some of his re-
marks went directly above the heads
of the deputies in an appeal to the
country at large. At such moments
the unofficial part OF the audience
broke out in applause despite all the
efforts of the ushers TO preserve quiet.
After an attempt by the socialists
to rdicule the tigers" assertions, the
meeting was postponed a few minutes
and then was continued as an ordi-
nary session, and a commission ap-
pointed to study the treaty and re-
port to parliament.
