Chicago. Oct 2o.-Elihu Roots
speech in New York favoring the mod
ification of the present League of Ma
tions covenant to meet American OBJ
jections is now the big topic Of dis
cussion at political headquarters OF
both parties The importance of Mr..
Roots pronouncement is that every
body in republican circles expects him
to be secretary of state in the next ad-
ministration or the head Of another
American peace commission which will
negotiate with European governments
concerning reservations or changes in
the covenant of the league.
Mr.. Roots expressed friendliness to
the present league did not come as a
shock to the "irreconcilables' but it
has caused them some anxiety for it
is believed he would never have made
such statement without letting Sena-
tor Harding know something about it
in advance. Here is the portion of Mr..
Roots speech which is being accepted
now as the cardinal principle Of the
next administration il Mr.. Harding
should be elected.

can be met and obviated without in

Means Revision.
It will be noted that Mr.. Root makes
no reference to the Wilson league
as the republican campaign orators
have been uniformly calling the pres
ent league. Moreover, Mr.. Root clears
away the notion that Senator Harding
| would attempt to establish a new
league. He interprets Senator Hard
ing's promise Of "a new relationship
with Europe to mean revision of the
| existing league and use Of the present
machinery. To the irreconcilables,
this means a departure from supposi-
tions about Mr.. HArding's having
"scrapped" the league. Senator Borah

EJECT CROOKS
FROM UNIONS
Will be Real Service of Or
ganized Labor Says
Unter1neyer.

New York. Oct. 22.-The joint
legislative committee investigating
the alleged building trust can per-
form no greater service for legitimate
organized labor than that of expos
ing, Furnishing and ejecting from it's
councils the wolves and vultures who
have been fattening on its vitals."
Ih1s statement was made today at
the continuation Of the inquiry by
Samuel Untermyer, committee coun-
sci, in branding as a tissue Of wicked
mislead the public" Statements is
sued at the close of yesterdays hear
ing. at which witnesses testified that
a $4,000 bribe had been paid to end
building trade strike here. One of
the post session statements to which
Mr. Untermyer took exception was
to the effect that organized labor
was being framed"
In Labor's Interest.
1T will indeed be sorry day for
organized labor when every exposed
crook operating under the shield of
the great cause of organized labor
can cover his tracks and rally the
ranks Of labor to his support by the
hypocritical claim that exposure of
his stabs in the back of labor are an
attack on the institution that we are
trying to rescue from this sordid
condition.
Mr.. Untermyer said the Legitimate
elements of organized labor are &C
lively supporting his efforts to bring
out the facts.
Mr.. Untermyer outlined the general
trend of proof" which will be Of
fered the committee by it's counsel
asserting it would be intended to
show banding together among the
| material men,"
This combination. he said, consists
first a separate association in each
! OF the 80 lines engaged in building
/ materia! from the manufacturer down
to the retailer. and then banding to-
| gether of the different associations
| under the head of the buildings ma.
terial employers"
AS to the testimony regarding a
$4,000 bribe. he continued, it would
be found that the little small change
referred to yesterday is a very trifline
! item in this organized raid upon the
building industry"

At Biennial Convention. o1
United Lutheran Church
Of America.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Discussion at
today's session of the biennial conven-
ton here of the United Lutheran
Church of America, was expected to
center mainly around the foreign mis-
sionary policy of the church and its
proposed financial budget.

terday by the language of resolutions
offered by the foreign missions board
urging unnamed governments to re-
move war time restrictions" on mis-
sionary activities. The convention
sent the resolutions back to the board
for re-drafting, with the expectation
it would be prepared today to make
its report.
Consideration of the financial
budget will follow the report of the
committee that has prepared it.
Twelve chaplains of the Lutheran
church who served with the army and
navy during the war. are to be giver
medals by the convention probably a,

DETECTIVE TAKEN
TO DEVILS LAKE TO
ANSWER CHARGE

Robert Loste, who was arrested at
Grafton yesterday on a warrant charg-
ing him with obtaining money under
false pretenses, was taken to Devils
Lake last night. The warrant for his
arrest was issued in Ramsey county.
The charge was made on information
furnished by, the Pioneer National
Detective Bureau of the Twin Cities
for which concern Loste once worked.
The firm claims that Loste has not
been connected with it for some time.
Loste is said to have been obtaining
money from business establishments
for protection against criminals.
Local authorities say that IIoste
came to Grand Forks about a week
ago, after working his proposition
at Devils Lake and other places. He
failed to make much headway here
and left in a very short time.

Roots Speech, Fauoring Modified
Form of Present League of Nations
Covenant, Big Topic Among Leaders

preserve peace. Both Senators John
son and Borah formally approved that
plank
To the democrats. hereabouts the
Root speech brings confirmation of
their charge that the only purpose the
republicans have had from the start
was to prevent Woodrow Wilson from
achieving during his administration
the distinction of American member
ship in a League of Nations the crea-
tion of which had been SO largely his
inspiration and work. The democrats
pointed to the Hitchcock reservations
offered in the senate as early as Mo-
vember 1919 in which practically ev-
cry objection recited today by Elihu
Root was covered even to the limita-
tion OF Article x. The democrats nat
urally see behind it all only partisan
fight against Wilson with an attempt
to hold him responsible for the failure
to accept the Lodge reservations when
as matter of fact, according to the
democratic viewpoint the republicans
refused to accept the Hitchcock reser-
vations- Indeed, the democrats recalled
today the agreement reached in the
whereby reservations on every subject
were agreed upon except Article x
and then Senator johnson threatened
Senator Lodge with revolt in the par
ty and the Massachusetts, leader de-
clined to continue the bipartisan
conferences unless Johnson's views on
Article x were accepted.
The Dem idea.
That's what the democrats think and
say but just how much validity their
view has will hardly be proved until
after the election is over and the Unit
ed States actually negotiates for reser-
vations to the present League of Ma
uons. If America under a republican
administration should offer the Lodge
reservations again, then it will be evil
dent that partisanship had nothing to
do with it. If Elihu Root should follow
the lead Of certain republicans In the
Chicago convention who opposed
flat-footed approval Of the Lodge res
ervations because they were consider
ed cumbersome and in some respects
destructive. 1t will be apparent that
the democrats had some foundation
for their charge. al
Meanwhile, the speech Of Nihu
Root is considered the big gun OF the
campaign fired in the last two weeks
Of October not only to keep Ia line
those republicans who had begun to
think = vote TOR Harding was re-
pudiation Of the present leaxue altO-
gether but to pave the way for the fu-.
ture overthrow Of the ah-Johnson
group In the American senate.
