PRESBYTERIANS URGE
 THE RATIFICATION OF PEACE

Philadelphia, May 2S.-The United States was urged to ratify the peace treaty and join the League of Nations in tweresolutions adopted by the general as- sembly of the Presbyterian Church of the U. S. A. at it's closing session here to- day.
 One resolution, sponsored by Dr. James Wallace, of McAlester college. St Paul was protested by number of the com missioners on the ground that it proYok- ed partisan politics and that the deaoTn- ination was violating it's constitution in acting upon political issue. After plac- ing the assembly on record as regretting the Tong and dreary debate which has subjected the American people to the most humiliating criticism in their his tory" the resolution said the refusal of the United States to ratify the treaty was "an astounding fasco and has made this country the laughing stock of the world'
 The other resolution vas that of Rev. Stanley White, secretary of the board Of foreign missions, and urged upon con- gress immediate affirmative action to en- able America to enter the League of Ma tions with or without reservations. It was adopted with an amendment which stated: Reservations to which nc right eous man could find objections. This resolution also urges American financial aid to Armenia.
 An attack upon the publicity depart ment of the assembly also featured to- l days session. Opposition started when ! it was proposed to appropriate S60,ooo to | defray the expenses of the publicity de partment and provide f< publication of | the New Era magazine during the en- suing year.
 | It was proposed that the appropriation ,s.,No ~ Q q appointed and it's report submitted later,
 fixing the appropriation at s60,000, was | adopted. In order to meet this expense the per capita apportionment of com l municants was raised from l-2 cents | to 10 cents, which will also meet other | charges of the church.
 A resolution was adopted urging the | Presbyteries and synods to raise the pay
 of ministers and to provide homes fol 1 them, 'in order that they might be free | from rent profiteers." Another resolution
 passed expressed sympathy to the Prot l estants of Ireland and recommended 2
 hands off policy for the United State: government.
 The New Era Movement came ur
 again today when the Rev. William H ' Foulkes declared the action taken yes terday in cutting the annual budget ion
 $500, 900 to S400,000 would put th'
 movement out of business for year. H
 asked that the s4oo.Ooo be provided fo
 liquidating expenses and that addition
 funds be provided for continuing thu
 movement during the ensuing year. Hi
 suggestion was adopted.
 It was learned today that hotel accom-
 modations at Winona Lake Ind, selected
 as next years meeting place, may b.
 inadequate and a special committee wa , appointed to go thereto ascertain condi tions.
 The board of temperance and moral was authorized to conduct an investiga

FEW STRIKERS RETURNED TO
 COTTON MILLS IN NEW BEDFORD

New Bedford, Mass, May 2s.-Few strikers returned to the cotton mills here today as result of the vote taken last night to end the walkout which has been in effect for the past four weeks. Most of the unions voted to return next T,,e-- day when 15 per cent. wage increase recently announced by the manufacturers becomes effective, and more general re- turn is looked for at that time.
 The only union not taking action was that of the loomfxers. They struck when the manufacturers announced a readiust ment of their work and their waikout precipitated the strike of other crafts. The textile council, however, instructed the secretary to request a conference with the manufacturers in an effort to settle the differences.
 Union leaders estimate that 13,oo0 op. eratiyes have been on strike The loss in wages is said to have amounted ca ap- proximately one million dollars.

WILSON'S CONCEPTION IF
 CAMPAIGN ISSUES IF 1920
His Ideals Are Embodied the Platform Recently Adopted by the Virginia Democratic Convention-Besdes Ratifi cation of Treaty Without Reservations He Favors Pro posa to Revise Tax Laws-Deplores Agitation For "an Indscriu,inate Bonus" For Soldiers of the Late War

Washington, May 2S.-CBy The A ID , President Wilson's conception of the campaign issues of 1920 was elucidated today in a letter made public at the White House expressing the presidents full accord with the sentiments contain ed in the platform recently adopted by the Virginia democratic convention
 The league of nations plank, which declared for ratification Of the treaty of Versailles without reservationI which would impair it's essential integ- rity' was particularly commended by the president. He also singled out for praise the platforms declarations on f. nance and reconstruction, which in cluded a general proposal to revise tax laws and deplored agitation for "an fla discriminate bonus" for soldiers of the great war.
 The letter was addressed to Senator Glass of Virginia, who drafted the state platform, and its publication from the White House generally was regarded as forecasting what the president and his supporters would expect to be written into the party's national platform at San Francisco. The national platform was not mentioned directly by the pres l ident, though he wrote that the Virginia | democrats had set forth the attitude oi the party on the league or nations and other important issues. 1 The league plank occupies a large place in the Virginia platform, embrac- | ing a declaration for "a league of na- tions,' and prsising the exceptional | achievement at Paris involved in the adoption of a league and treaty so near | akin to the American ideals" The pres l ident is praised for "steadfastly stand | ing for the covenant agreed to- and the republican reservations and peace res | olution are condemned.
 Some of the other features of the Vir. ginia platform are:
 A declaration for an efficient merchant l marine, with sale to American citizens | for operation under the American flag of all merchant vessels acquired by tn, government during the war.
 Condemnation of the republican con gress for vain and extravagant inves l tigations, costing two millions of dollars revealing nothing beyond the incapacit! of republican politicians to cope with tn, gravest problems
 A declaration that neither labor no capital should at any time take Se<foi that will jeopardize the public welfare and that strikes and lockouts shoult be supplanted by some. method of amica

HOUSE FAILED TO PASS PEACE
 BILL OVER PRESIDENTS VETO

Washington, May 2s-Lacking 2s votes of the necessary two-thirds, the house failed today to pass the Knox resolution, ending the war with Ger many and Austria, over President Will sons veto.
 The result was not unexpected. The vote was 22 10 I52, seventeen democrats joining with republicans in attempting 10 override the veto. while two repub- licsns voted with the democrats to sus- tain it. Before starting the fight on the floor republican leaders predicted that the veto would stand by margin of ten. but nevertheless announced their dete1 imitation to make the fight just the same and let the record go before the people.
 Preceding final action. which again ended efforts to establish peace, there was an hour of debate in which the presidents position was assaiied by re- publicans and defended by democrats. Attacking the republican leadership of congress, Representative ConnaIly, dem ocrat, of Texas, challenged the party in control to present a straightout resolu tion for repeal of all wartime legisla- ton and promised democratic support in an effort to pass it in the event of presidential veto.
 Declaring that passage of the Knox resolution would fix the date for repeal of wartime laws, Representative Mon dell, the republican leader. came back with a challenge to the Texas member to give proof of his ability to deliver democratic help"
 Later in the day, however. Mir. Con- nally, without comment. threw into the house hopper a joint resolution provid- ing for repeal of every bit of war time legislation. effective on the date of the resolutions passage. Soon altar Rep resentative Alderman, republican, New Jersey presented a similar resolution. Neither resolution IS expected to be called up before the summer recess or adjournment .f
