LUMBER WAGE SCHEDULE
ADOPTED
Fiat Cut Of 10 Cents an Hour
Hours Increased from
Eight to Ten

Joel Brown returned yesterday
from Portland, where, as a represent
ative Of the Four L organizations Of
Emmett, he attended the wage con-
ference of operators and mill workers
in the lumber industry He reports
that by vote of Is to 9, the board Of
directors of the Loyal Legion Of Log

minimum wage scale which will rep

hour for the men in the lumber IN

January, 1920, was on basis of $40

scale reduces this base to $3.50.
The new scale will not Of necessity

as it has been the practice of many
operators in the past to pay wages
considerably in excess Of the mini

One Of the interesting features de
veloped by the session was that the
lumber industry at the present time
Is not self-supporting and that any
in wages which the workers
were willing to consider could not
make it so. Employers asked for the
reduction on the ground that it was
to have help in bearing the
burden of the present slump IN lum-
Der demands.
Two important resolutions were
passed, having a bearing on the wage
luestion-one to the effect that op-

Republican Womes,
Say Next Job T. TO
Wipe Out Tanmany
Leaders Accept the Contract
With Cheers a; Victory
Celebration; Take Pledge
TO Elect Next Mayor Here

The next big job for the women of
New York is to wipe out Tammany
Hall. Members of the Women's Rcpub-
lican Club accepted the contract with
cheers when it was proposed to them
by Harold Aaron, chairman of the
speakers bureau of the Republican
County Committee, at their victory cele-
lration al the Hotel Plaza yesterday.
"For the first time in century,
thanks to the presence Of women in
politics, we have a chance next year to
wipe out Tammany Hall root and
branch" said Mr.. Aaron. Men were
never able to do it alone, but with the
great moral addition of the woman
voter | believe it can be done | was
never friend of woman suffrage. I
was opposed to it, But the splendid
work of the women in This campaign
has convinced me that woman suffrage
is the greatest reform of the age
There are three things to be borne
in mind in this crusade against Tam
many Hall First, we must disabuse
the peoples minds of the notion that
Hyian loves the dear people; second,
we must adopt Theodore Roosevelt's
motto, "Never hit soft; third, we must
remember that the real menace in New
Y ork politics is not the corrupt prac-
tees of Tammany Hall nor the igno-
rance Of the East Side, but it is the in
difference Of the West Side. 1t is up
to you women to rouse the West Side"

Girl Shows President
Pictures in Scrapbook
I5-Year.Old Miss Chats Will,
Wilson at White House and
Gives Him Bouquet

From The Tribunc's Washington Bursau
WASHINGTON. Nov. 9. - Fifteen
year-old Olive Chace, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Daniel c. Chace, of Belt Road,
a thoroughfare over which the White
House car bearing President Wilson on
his afternoon rides has passed fre-
quently. is to-day the proudest school
girl in Washington.
A fifteen minute audience with the
President at the White House was ac-
corded this little girl to-day by the
President and Mrs. Wilson, with whom
she sat and chatted over matters far
removed from important affairs of
state. Little Miss Chace was accom-
panied to the White House by her
mother, who previously had arranged
the interview. A large bouquet Of
flowers was presented by the little girl
to Mr.. Wilson.
Olive. who is a pupil at the Western
High School, has been one of the Presi-
dents most ardent and faithful follow
ers. During his last Administration
she kept scrapbook, in which she
pasted every picture Of President Will
son which struck her fancy
Recently her mother wrote to Mrs.
Wilson asking if it would be possible
for the admiring daughter to see the
President in person, and, much to her
surprise and pleasure, the next mail
brought an answer in the affirmative.

with this and other investigations
which have been made. and they are
intensely eager to have the sort of
check on competition with Oriental
labor, or for that matter with any
labor which may he exploited, which
they think would be provided in the
labor sections.
1t is matter Of surprise IN Britain
and France that labor in the United
States has not more generally taken
up the cudgels for these labor sec
tons OF the treaty. 1t is stated posi-
lively, at any rate, so firmly con
vinced are H1e political leaders Of all
parties in Great Britain of the de-
termination Of labor to have these
sections remain in force, that it is
generally conceded that any ministry
which agreed to wipe these sec
tlons out and start new treaty
would be forced at once TO go to the
country and would be defeated at the
polls.
In this connection it is interesting
to recall that Senator Charles S.
Thomas of Colorado, attempted to
strike these sections from the treaty
by direct teXtual amendment. On fail
ing in this attempt he announced that
make the treaty satisfactory TO him.
He not only voted against ratification,
but declined to make the race for re-
election ON the Democratic ticket.
Article K which President Wilson
declared to be the heart Of the cove
nant and over which more than half
of the discussion on the whole treaty
has taken place. has not alarmed the
people of Britain and France at all,
it is asserted.
Even the most ignorant peasants Of
Europe have realized for years that
q threat Of war was threat against
the balance Of power, and they knew
that any attempt to disturb the balance
Of power must lead inevitably to war.
The league idea appealed to them,
therefore, as something which might
preserve the balance of power in a
less ticklish position and make it
harder to disturb.
But the league covenant can be re
written If is declared without leavin q

French leaders think of value, and yet

eve will guarantee to rewrite the
covenant, starting by changing the
words League of Nations TO Confer
ence Of Nations,' in such shape that
even Senator's Borah and Johnson will
not oppose it, is the way one high
British authority put the case by cable
to a prominent Republican.
Both the French and British, it is
said, declare that, unfortunately, the
language of the covenant was not sufi-
GENTLY changed from the time early in
the meetings when it was really pro
posed to have superstate and an
assembly in which nations should have
votes. This whole idea was abandoned
with the provision that decisions had
TO be unanimous, thus turning the
league council and assembly into con-
ferences instead of parliamentary
bodies with majority rule. But much
Of the wording was left unchanged, II
is declared, and on this wording was
built much of the criticism hurled at
the whole idea.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-President
elect Harding will have the whole
hearted support of the Senate mild
reservatlonists in working out new
foreign policy as a substitute for the
Wilson League of Nations.
Senator Frank B. Kellogg, Of Min
nesota, returned to the capital to-day
and announced that he would help in
every way possible to "harmonize all
the factions on any reasonable PROPOSE
tion.' He believes Mr.. Harding.
through the proposed injecting of
minds" will bit upon an American pro
gram upon which the people Of the
United States can unite.
Like Senators Porter J. McCumber. of
North Dakota, and Thomas Sterling. of
South Dakota, also mild reservation
lists, Senator Kellogg does not expect
the ratification of the Wilson league
even with reservations. He would be
willing to ratify with the Lodge reserva-
tions, but the opportunity will not be
afforded. 1t is his view that Mr.. Har-
ding will negotiate with the Allies and
that they will amend the league to con-
form with our views. Then the Re-
publican President will submit tn.
treaty to the Senate.
Senator Charles L. McNary, of Ore
gon, another Of the mild reservation
lists, is here, ready to cooperate with
the President elect in working out q
new program. If Mr.. Harding finds
me lrreconcilables as ready to work
with nm as arc the mild reservation
lists, he will have no serious trouble
in harm onizing the different factions
on treaty program. Senators Hiram
Johnson and William f. Borah are ex-
pected to be stubborn. The view here
IS that the task of uniting America on
foreign policy will be more difficult
than to convert Europe to that policy,
once we have agreed among ourselves.
In the opinion of Senator Kellogg,
the first domestic legislation that
should receive the attention of the
new Republican Congress is a ma
tional budget system Economy, he
thinks, is first in tie minds Of the
people. Only by budget system can
