Appointment of American Representative to Repara- 6ons Commission Before Pact Acceptance Would Be Premature, Say Sena- tors

WASHINGTON, July 21.-While the Senate was listening to more debate on the peace treaty today the foreign rela- tions committee turned it's attention to he problem of provisional American representation, pending Senate action on the treaty, on the international commissions to be set up under the treaty terms.
 President Wilson raised the point in a letter to Chairman lodge asking the committees approval for appointment of a representative on the reparations commission, which is to have wide powers in finding the amount and method of collection of Germany's yep aration bill Such representation the president wrote, was highly important to American business interests.
 After an hours discussion, during which Chairman Lodge and others ob- jected that the committee had nc power to give such assent prior to the treaty's ratification, it was decided to postpone a decision until tomorrow Senator Knox, republican, Pennsyl- vania. proposed that the committee de clare that neither it nor the president could carry out any treaty provisions while the treaty was pending.
 Democrats Have Say
 The League of Nations occupied most of the time during Senate de- bate, Senators Pomerene, Ohio, anc Harrison, Mississippi, both Democrats urging it's acceptance. Senator Pom creme analysed the covenant in a con stitutional argument and declared quick acceptance of the treaty was the only course consistent with the na- tion's responsibilities to the world. Sen ator Harrison bitterly attacked repub- lican leaders opposing the treaty de claring their opposition really wa, based on political and personal antag- onism to President Wilson.
 During the day the Shantung settle ment also got before the Senate again
 Senator Williams, democrat. of Mis- sissippi, charged that opposition sen ators had misrepresented the facts il the case. Denials were made by Sen ators Lodge and Borah, republican, o Idaho.
 Tomorrow prepared speeches on th- treaty are to be made by Senators Nc Nary, Oregon, and Moses, New Hamp shire republicans, and Beckham, Ken lucky and Johnson, South Dakota democrats.
 Senators Calder, New York; Cum mins. Iowa; Edge, New Jersey, ant Norris, Nebraska were the republican who had been invited to confer wit President Wilson today about tn treaty. When MT. Wilson's physician ordered him to bed, however, the en agreements were provisionally set oVc until tomorrow.

 REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE WOBBLY STRIKE CALL
Republican 4. p. Leased Wire1

GLOBE, Ariz., July 21.-Officials of the Globe and Miami locals of the In- ternational Mine, Mill and Shelter workers deny any connection with the proposed strike of the I. W. w., sched- uled for tomorrow morning in this dis trict-
 The secretary of the Miami local denies that any action has been taken and warns the members of the union against taking any unauthorized action in any movement toward a strike or participating therein, until the union has deliberated and voted on the same.
 Mickey Scanlon, leader of the l. W. W. in the Globe Miami district is in the city jail at Miami on a vagrancy charge and the prospects do not look promising for tomorrow's strike. The "committee' were scheduled to visit the mine managers today to present their demands, but they met with little suc- cess and failed to get an interview with either tue Inspiration or Miami man ager. The I. w. W. members insist they will call a general strike tomorrow morning but their leader Is in jail and i the authorities are unable to find his successor.
 Marshal Ussher of Miami says he will recognize strike by 65 men. only eight of whom were American born citizens.
 Ussher says:
 There will be no picket line in the morning."
 The members of the union in this district are not in sympathy with the I. W. w. strike. Very little strike | talk is heard either here or at Miam and it is very probable that the strike will die in it's infancy with a few radical members of the l. W. W. stand ing behind the strike demand.
 Six dollars and six hours per day covers the strike demands.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The pro- hibition enforcement bill, drastic pro visions and all was adopted today section by section by the house, but mans right to store liquor in his home stood up against all attacks. On the final count only three votes were recorded in favor of an amendment to make home possession of intoxicants unlawful.
 After all perfecting amendments had been adopted and others designed to make the bill less severe were bowled over in a chorus of noes an attempt was made to adjourn over night This prevailed. but there was a demand for roll call and the pro- hibition forces, summoned from all sides by their leaders, piled into the chamber in sufficient numbers to keep the house in session tonight for the tedious roll call vote on half dozen amendments in dispute which had to be passed on before vote was taken on the bill, as a whole.
 Demand for formal reading of the engrossed bill which was not in shape i for that purpose, forced adjournment of the house tonight and delayed it's passage until tomorrow.
 Eliminate Bond Section

This was | stricken out after Representative Gard democrat of Ohio. had pointed out that it provided double punishment for the poor man, who might be sent to Jail 1 The vote was 83 to 66.
 When the house reached Section 35 dealing with the enforcement of con- stitutional prohibition and which con- tained the provision that it was not unlawful to store liquor at home for personal use the scene was not un- like that on a stock market on a high sales day
 Chairman Volstead of the judiciary committee. in charge of the bill, had two amendments. These fixed the time for reporting possession of in toxicants. In one MT. Volstead of fered, and which the house accepted the time specified in the proclamation by the state department as to the eff fective date of constitutional prohibi tion-January 26, 1920-was accepted without discussion.
 Representative RubeN, democrat Missouri, announced an amendmen providing that a person should no possess more than $50 worth of liquor The house did not take kindly to thi proposal and defeated it.
 Ratify Personal Use Clause
 With this out of the way, Repre- sentative Raker, democrat. California offered an amendment to make it un lawful to have liquor in ones ow1 dwelling. When the vote was calle only three members. and all of then democrats, supported the amendment MT. Raker and Representatives Blan ton. Texas, and Upshaw, Georgia, tn , latter an evangelist.
 This section was amended, how ever so as to provide that sue , liquors must be for personaf con , sumption by the owner of the dwellin
 or his family or bona fide guests
 This restriction. put in by Representa-
 tive Steele. democrat, Pennsylvani; was aimed at the man who might tur his dwelling into a saloon.

 The treaty bill passed the com mittee of the whole without oppo- sition. When the third reading was moved, Joseph DevIin, nation alist, demanded its rejection as protest against the premier's ref erence to Ireland. MT. Lloyd George, replying, ridiculed the suggestion that his attitude to- ward Ireland had changed. He said he adhered to his position announced in the general election and was prepared to carry it into effect. The home rulers, he added, could have home rule for them selves if they wished it, but they could not force it on Ulster. The house then rejected MT.
