IRepublican A. p. Leased Wire l

ALBANY. N. Y, Jan. 20.-Morris Hilquit, chief counsel for the five sus- pended socialist assemblymen, de- clared today at the opening of their trial that if the assembly busted the defendants, the act will loosen the violent revolution which we socialists have endeavored and are endeavoring to stem
 MT. Hilquit added this "one word of solemn warning" after asserting that the Romanoffs and all instruments of oppression in Russia had been de- stroyed after the government had tried to outlaw the socialist movement and that we are not afraid of sup pression at the time one-half the world is under socialist control"
 Regards "Warning" as Threat
 This warning was later interpreted by Martin w. Littleton, associate coun- sel for the committed. as a warning to the country a threat to the committee and an admonishment to the assembly that they do not dare deal with the gentlemen he represents unless they wish to invite revolution in this coun- try" Mir. Hilquit denied that his re- marks were intended a threat and said instead he had made a sort of love offer that we socialists are ready to see the thing through in constitutional manner and by peace ful methods"
 'I was merely imploring you to be as good and peace loving as we so cialists are" he said, and not to be high handed in your procedure. That was entreaty and it was in tended to be-"
 Bar Hughes and Associates
 The judiciary committee opened the trial by excluding. by vote of seven to four, the New York City Bar as sociation committee, headed by Charles E. Hughes, from independent partici- patton in the proceedings, after which. the comimttee, submitting a brief op posing the assembly's action in sus- pending the socialists, withdrew.
 The delegates made n plain that they did not represent the socialists but the public interests
 Then Louis F. Martin, chairman Of the judiciary committee. read state ment concerning the defendants that they will receive fair play and the case is not prejudsed and that the committee desired to express it's under standing "of matters that are to be brought up for considera tion.
 These included claims that the de- fendants were members of party or society whose doctrines demanded the complete destruction of our form of government by the fomenta tion of so- ciai unrest and the bringing into play of force and violence" and that they are engaged with others in a large well organized conspiracy" to weaken the family tie, destroy the influence of the church and overturn the whole fabric of a constitutional form of gov ernment-
 MT HiIauit challenged the assertion that the case was not pre- judged and made three motions, two of which were denied. The committee reserved decision on the third which provided for dismissal of the proceedings as il- legal and unwarranted.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Editors and publishers throughout the country. who believe that legislation proposed in the Graham anti sedition bill is unwise, were urged tonight by Frank P. Glass. president of the American Newspaper Publishers association, to telegraph by Wednesday night a brief statement of their views to Representative Philip Campbell. chairman of the rules committee of the house.

He declares this section apparently con fers upon federal officials or post masters general power ito refuse mail ing privilege to newspaper without a hearing and without notice. provided the official finds some letter. state ment. argument or picture, which, in his opinion. is objectionable and falls within the statute. No review by any magistrate or court is required"

 Owing to the shortness of the notice it is obviously impossible for the American press to be adequately rep resented" Mir. Glass said.

The Jugo- Slav note said it constituted the supreme efforts of Jugo- Slavia to bring about an agreement with Italy. This fact, taken in connection with Premier Nittis statement, appar- ently leaves the situation a tense one The desire of the Albanians for tnde- pendence will be respected. but if nec- essary, the Jugo- Slavs will accept all the proposals.
 The council this afternoon held a further discussion on Great Britain's announcement of her inability to send her quota of troops into the plebiscite areas. The discussion resulted in the British offering to send naval detach- menjs to Memel and DaanZig

 Competition Only Fair
 Although American banking houses are opening branches all over the world" he said, 'our laws in certain states make fl impossible for Latin American institutions to open branches in this country and compete with us on our own grounds.

Europe, ragged by war. hungry and destitute yet strong in recuperative power, needs cur materials. The task is a common one for the Americans. We, the American republics. are partners in responsibility and should be coopera- tors in a great enterprise. We must, to the extent of our ability, aid Flu rope promptly, generously and on sound economic lines.
 The whole world has reached stage where inter dependence of na- tionS is too clearly manifest and must be recognized in future political and economic policy"

NARROWLY AVERT OPEN RUPTURE IN PACT OVERTURES

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2o.-Disagree ments in the bipartisan conferences looking to compromise peace treaty reservations today brought the senate leaders committees to the verge of a break and caused a movement among the senate rank and file toward a diff ferent solution of the treaty deadlock.
 Open rupture today of the leaders conferences was averted. temporarily at least, by passing over the disputes on the Lodge reservation regarding equality of voting in the league of na'- tions.
 The bipartisan conference will meet again tomorrow but with leaders of both factions doubtful as to the pos sibiiity of ultimate agreement
 Prospects of failure of the leaders conferences and of formal suspension of their sessions today moved mild reservation republicans and d few democrats. not members of the leaders committees to discuss independent moves toward solution of the treaty situation. One mild reservation" re- publican spoke sman said such a move would be forthcoming if conferences of the leaders fail within few days to give more assurances of a com promise.
 Outline Two Plans for Action
 Two plans for future action were considered today by the senate rank ana lie SnOuiu t0e fail. Several of the mild reservation republicans were said to favor com bination with the democrats to bring the treaty again to the floor of the senate for open considerat tion of com promise reservations. For effective ness of this plan reliance would be placed upon public pressure, which it is believed would develop in favor of a, compromise.
 Another plan. chalnpioned by a dem ocratic- advocate. of compromise. con templates a round robin petition to bring republicans and democrats into a joint caucus. The mild reservation republicans, however, were reported opposed to the bipartisan plan and also to the latest pending motion of Senator Underwood. democrat Alaba- ma. for appointment of formal con- ciiiation committee.
 Followers of Republican Leader Lodge as we'll as the republican mild reservationists'' are said to agree that if the present bipartisan meetings of the leaders shall fail it would be use less to appoint other conciliation com mittees.

 ASSERTS PO|NDEXTER

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Jan. 20-The
 antl-str1ke clause in the Cummins railroad bill, now in conference between the houses of congress, is the first substantial move made "to solve a problem which has in it the terms of civil war and revolutions" United states Senator Miles Poindexter of Washington, an aspirant for the re- publican nomination for president de- clared tonight in an address on "anti- strike legislation before an audience of business men here.
 If it is not solved by law" he said,
 it will be solved in blood and, per haps, in the destruction of our insti- tutions. It involves the question of whether industrial disputes the ad- Justment of wages, the terms and coA- ditions of the employment of labor in commerce and industry. where em- ployer and employe cannot agree. are to be adjusted by the orderly rocesses of government, through reason and public opinion officially expressed, or by force. terror and intimidation.
 While it is confined to those en- engaged in interstate commerce is indi- rectly affects every industry because every industry is dependent upon public transportation. And if the principle is established by the enactment and en- forcement of this section the path will have been cleared which can be followed both by the federal govern ment and by the states as the neces- sity therefore may appear. in the in- dustrial struggles of the future
 '.It will be noticed that the word strike is not used in this section. Under it men would have a right to ruit work, either singly or cce.e-tfvely, unless it were proved beyond a req sonable doubt that such quitting was in pursuance of combination or agreement, and with the intent and purpose to intentionally hinder, delay or prevent the operation of trains or other facilities of transportation"
