TO DIVORCE LEAGUE
FROM PEACE TREATY
SEPARATION is DECLARED GER.
TAIN BY COVENANTS OPPO-
NENTS AT WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Separation
of the covenant for a league of ma
tions from the peace treaty by ma
jority vote of the senate is now a
foregone conclusion, according to the
assertion Of the leagues opponents
in Washington. They. declared to-
night that they are certain of six
more than a majority for this action
among those senator's who do not ia
vor the covenant in its present form,
and that in addition some of the ad-
vocates of the league will vote for
the separation of the two PROPOSE
tons because they believe it will
hasten the final peace settlement
which they regard as more import
ant.
To the argument that defeat of the
league covenant, if it is made a part
of the peace treaty by the Paris con-
ference, viii carry with it defeat of
the whole treaty the opponents of
the league reply by saying that the
instrument will be sent back to the
Central powers and must be redraft-
ed so as to meet the wishes of the
senate. Amendments to treaties by
the senate are not without many pre-
cedents, it is declared, and as in
similar instances in the past the ne
gOtiations will have to be resumed
until both sides are satisfied.
Congress Can End War.
But another and very simple course
is open to congress, according to the
view expressed tonight by Senator
Lenroot, Of Wisconsin, in speech
before the Commercial Club of
Washington. He asserted that if
President Wilson persists in his pres
ent attitude and the league covenant
comes to the senate as an integral
part of TIE peace treaty congress can
pass a joint resolution declaring the
war with Germany and Austria end
ed and then the senate may proceed
to consider the details of the peace
settlement and the league of nations
at its leisure. The constitutional au-
thority granted to congress to de-
clare war, said Senator Lenroot, also
gives to congress the right to declare
peace.

TIC THE MEMORY OF
LITTLE DOROTHY HEIDI
For Nearly Year She Had Bright
ened and Made Home Happy.

While earth was still wrapped in
slumber Saturday morning, March
the eighth, the white winged messen-
ger silently, swiftly entered the
home of M. and Mrs. Joe Heidi and
carefully, tenderly bore the spirit Of
their tiny baby girl back to the Crea-
tor who had so mercifully spared her
to them for nearly a year. His realm
was incomplete without the little
one. He only claimed His own.
She was loved as a little angel, and
had twined the tendrils of her baby
love around the hearts of the par
ents, and all the village until giving
her back to the great Father could
only be borne through the knowledge
of His love and kindness.
Mother, father, God thought of
you and sent her. Then He again
thought Of you and took her where
she could watch you with the sweet
blue eyes and beckon you with the
tiny baby hands to the pure celestial
life.
Since she has gone where she can
feel no pain, indulge not in too much
grief, but know that God in His way
"doeth all things we'll" w.

HIGH COST OF CLOTHING
MAY SOON DECREASE

George Lytton, Chicago retailer
of mems clothing, believes that
recession in prices from the war
maximum is under way, he testi-
fed in the packing house arbi-
tratlon. Jobbers in woolens, he
said, are now making voluntary
reductions in prices, and in some
cases have reduced the price of
goods already ordered at stated
prices, but not yet delivered.
Clothing, he thought, would de-
crease but little during 1919, as re-
tailers have already paid war
prices for such stocks.

put into effect their threat to operate
the trains beginning at a. m. today.
Every preparation had been made
by the railroad administration, how
ever, to run the trains and hundreds
of deputies had been sworn in to
protect property.
Governor Stephens of California,
had come to the assistance of the
rail administration and had called
upon all mayors, sheriffs and other
peace officials to aid the government
The Los Angeles strikers voted re-
luctantly to return to their posts.
The mass meeting lasted three hours
and was one of the most stormy labor
sessions in the history of the state.
A. f. Whitney, international vice
president Of the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen, who addressed the
II Getting, was Kissed. Epithets were
hurled at him. At one time only the
prompt action of conservatives pre-
vented the radicals from sweeping
Whitney off his feet. A dozen ra&-
Gals with clenched fists started to-
ward him, but were finally elected.
At the office of William Sproule,
district manager for the rail admins
tration, it was said today that every
effort would be made today to move
perishable freight. Passenger serv-
ice will be normal within a few
hours, it was said.
The Shore Line limited left for Los
Angeles at 8 O'clock. Seven trains
will make the run today from San
Francisco and Oakland TO Los An
geles. Trains left Bakersfield and
Fresno today for the first time In
several days.
The strikers on the Pacific Elec-
trio out of Los Angeles nave not re-
turned to their work. 1t was to sup
port these men that the sympathetic
strike of rail men was called with
out sanction of the international Off

Chairman Colver of Federal Trade Commits
sion Would Suspend Exports and Stop
Speculation.
ONLY NATION WHICH PERMITS THIS
Speculation Before Seeds are Planted and
Profits in Food Represent No Useful
Service to Country

rUnited Press Leased Wire Service. !
WASHINGTON. Aug. 30.-Suspen.
sion OF exports of foodstuffs or
licensing of such exports after the
strictest scrutiny, would lower the
cost OF living within the ninety day
truce period established by labor, in
the opinion of William B. Colver,
chairman of the federal trade com
mission.
In an interview with the United
Press today, which he explained was
an expression of his personal views
and not an official expression by the
commission, Colyer said:
There is no single cause for the
high cost of living. Therefore there
is no panacea. This is the only
nation on earth that permits its food
stuffs to be used as poker chips.
This is the only nation where specu-
lation is permitted in food such as
canned fish, fruits and vegetables.
Not only before these foods are in
their cans, but before the snow is
off the ground where the seeds are
planted. before the ice is off the
river where the fish are to be caught
''The profits of spectators in food
represent no useful service. Cutting
them out can hurt no one.
IF exports OF foodstuffs were sus
pended, prices in this country would
be reduced. In the absence of total
suspension of exports, the licensing
Of imports after the strictest scrutiny
would lower prices. The American
people can be long-suffering and patient
in sharing their food with hungry
people across the sea, but they GER
tainly would not be patient if there
is foundation for suspicion tnat any
food of any kind is sent away, not
in response to more urgent can
than our own, but for the purpose
Of reducing the supply of that food
in this country with the result OF
either steadying the present high
price structure or sending it still
higher.
Either or both of these partial
remedies are possible to be applied
within the time limit of ninety days.
Not only would that time suffice for
their application, but it should be
sufficient for the first results to be
felt"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30-Interven
tion by the president appeared today
to be the only thing that will avert
strike of union workers in the stee
industry, if they attempt to carry out
their threats.
The time limit given Judge Gary
head of the United States Steel cor
poration for reply to the last letter
of the steel workers committee re-
uuesting conference, had expired
without reply being receive.
The committee informed Gary that
they could be reached at the National
hotel, Washington, until last night
They waited until a late hour, where.
upon Secretary Foster announced he
was taking train for home.
Early today, when a reply was still
lacking, John Fitzpatrick, head Of the
committee declared there was moth
ing more to be done"
President Gompers presented the
case OF the steel men to the president
along with an outline of the general
labor situation yesterday Meantime
kilograms were sent out, asking local
leaders to prevent any precipitate &C
ton by the men, in advance of re-
view Of their case by the president
and recommendations from the com
mittee.
The letter to Gary, however, IN
formed him the only way the commit
tee could prove its authority, which
Gary questioned, was to enforce the
strike vote of the men. The commit
tee members regard Gary's failure to
reply as closing the channel of direct
negotiations. AS their final letter
was not sent to Gary until after CON
sultation with Gompers, 1t is as
sumed the A. f. of L. leader entirely
supported the steel men before Presl-
dent Wilson.
With the crisis threatened by the
railway shopmen passed for the mo-
ment, the attention had switched to
steel today, though there was still the
lurking uncertainty of whether the
shopmen can be kept in line.
Meantime all departments con-
cerned in the fight to lower the high
cost of living were being urged to
speed UP in order to make good within
the ninety day truce period which the
