PREPARED FIGHT

tion Forces; Scores Amendment
Resolutions Offered; May
Call for Direct Vote.
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Washington, Oct. 23.-Treaty sup
porters are prepared to fight to OBJ
tain the unqualified ratification of
the pact, Senator Hitchcock declared
today.
Many moves are said to be ahead
for the administration forces despite
the word that with mild reservations
they have indicated their approval
of the foreign relations committee
reservations.
One of the moves that is contem-
plated by Senator Hitchcock is a
straight-out vote on the ratification
of the treaty without reservations.
Scores of amendments to the res
olutions will be offered by the demo
Greats it is said and dozens of roll
calls will be demanded
Thirteen strong reservations pro-
tecting American rights and sover-
Si6hNJ uhuDl LHC pCetSS IIGdLy are
now on the program of the majority
members of the senate foreign rela-
tions committee. All of the reserva.
tions must be accepted by at least
three of the other four great powers
which signed the treaty before Amer
icas ratification of the treaty be-
comes effective.
Ten of the reservations were adop-
ted by the foreign relations commit
tee. The other three were consider
ed at some length and finally put
over for further consideration at the
next meeting, which may be held to-
day
The reservations we're all adopted
by the full vote of the ten republican
members of the committee with the
addition of the vote of Senator
democrat, of Tennessee. This
made the vote stand eleven to six on
every roll call except one which was
taken. when one of the republicans
was temporarily absent.

washington, Oct. 23.-Presiden
wilson has constituted new ma
tional industrial conference from tn
wreckage Of the first.
AT the suggestion of the president
transmitted by Secretary Lane, tn,
chairman, the delegates representa-.
the public will remain in session ant
seek to arrive at solution of the
nations industrial problems.
The delegates Of the employers
have been excused and the labor
group has already walked out of the
conference, but the public's conferees
are still present and were told by
Secretary Lane that they must carry
en- the work.
These delegates will be expected
to make an extensive investigation
of the entire national situation. Just
as the original conference planned tc
do
New members will be added If ii
seems to be necessary declared Sec.
retary Lane.
Washington Oct. 23.-With the la
Dor delegates out of the industrial
conference, the restoration of indus
trial peace rested today with the
president.
Whether the president will accept
the termination of the conference
through the action CT the labor group
or revive the parley by the appoint
ment of new delegates, or whether
lie will seek new method to end
the recurrence of strikes and lock-
cuts has not been decided
This question will probably not be
decided until Secretary Lane, chair
man of the conference, makes a re-
port. This is expected to be forth.
coming today.
The public and capital group of the
conference have announced their in
tention of going on with the sessions
despite the withdrawal of the labor
ties. The general opinion, however.
was that the withdrawal of the labor
group practically ended the confer
ence and precluded any chance at ar
riving at truce program unless the
labor men were persuaded to return.
Thomas J.. Chadbourne, chairman
If the public group, declared the pub
tic delegates would remain in session
and report direct to the president
Mr. Gompers, for the labor group
thanked the chairman and members
of the group for the courtesies shown
labor by that wing Of the conference
but said that since the right to col
lective bargaining had been voted
down three times, once after Presi-
dent Wilson had appealed to the con
ference to stay in session, labor felt
it had no objects to gain in continu
ing the deliberations
Addressing the conference after de
feat of the proposal Mr. Gompers de
clared the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor, in
meeting last night voted to devote
all the moral and financial support
of the federation to aid the stee
strikers in enforcing their demand
for collective bargaining

Cut Out Long LOOP.

1t is pointed out by those in favor
of the move that this action would
cut cut tho long haul on the loop by
the ball park, would in fact shorten
the line some two miles, give service
to the people living on the streets
between Nineteenth and Ninth
streets along the Alabama avenue
district, give service to the Oklaho-
ma College for Women and serve the
same number of people in tho. Ninth
street district as has been served ul~
der the old order OF things.
Ordinances have been prepared and
are expected to be presented at the
council meeting tonight, granting the
street car company a right Of way
along Alabama avenue, or as much
of it as is controlled by the city.
There is strip of land through
which the car line would have to be
constructed on Alabama avenue,
which is controlled by T. S. Hen
drick He has expressed his will
lingnesS to take some action that
would let the street car people
through his property. The exact de-
tails of this procedure are not given
out, but 1t is known that 1t can be
satisfactorily arranged.

Company Ready to Act w

1t is known that the street car COM
pany favors such move and would
gladly accept the chance to shorten
the line and give service to the great
est number of people possible.
1t was stated yesterday afternoon
by a member of the city council that
street car company officers have
stated that the company would buildl
the line along Alabama avenue, con.
Meeting Nineteenth and Ninth streets.
if they could get a free right of way
along Alabama avenue.
President Austin Of the Oklahoma
College for Women is credited with
declaring himself in favor of the prop
osition to shorten the line and as
sure service to the school as well as
the residence district along Ninth
-treet.
Service cuftaled Today.
Starting this morning, the Ninth
street district is practically without
car service, except on special occa-
sions. The street car company has
announced that only one car will be
operated regularly. This car will run
from First street and Chickasha ave.
nue.. over the Dakota avenue line to
the Oklahoma College for Women
and will make the round trip every
80 minutes. c
The boosters of the new plan state
that this limited service could be in
creased to regular and satisfactory
service by the connection of the two
lines proposed and the elimination of
the long haul around the loop where
there are practically no residences
The round trip. they state, could be
made in much shorter time, giving
much fatser service to the patron,
Of the line.
