HITCHCOCK KICKS
Mild Reseryationist "Compro-
mise" Too Drastic, He Says.
DispOsing of Article Ten Prom
ises To Be Big Job.

Washington, Feb 12.-Indications
of the difficulties that must be over
come before the senate can reach a
compromise on Article 10 of the
League of Nations covenant were seen
today in rejection by Senator Hitch
cock of a widely herald compromise"
submitted by mild reservationists.
Hitchcock declared that its acceptance
by Democrats would involve an even
more AFFECT surrender than acceptance
of the original Lodge reservation.
The proposed compromise modifica
ton of the Lodge reservation. which
Lodge was declared by mild reserva-
tionists to have accepted, provides
obligation to preserve by the use of
it's military or naval forces or by the
economic boycott or by any other
means the territorial integrity and po
liticaI independence of any other ma
ton" etc
More Drastic Than Ever. -.
1t differs from the original Lodge
reservation in the addition of the
words 'by the use of its military or
naval forces, or by the economic boy
colt or by any other means" In the
opinion of many senators it is a great
deal more drastic and unbending than
the original Lodge reservation.
THAT proposal would rob us of
every weapon we could use under Ar
ticle 10,' said Senator Hitchcock. He
said it would not be considered for a
minute.
Mild reservationists said that in
spite OF Hitchcock's attitude>they had
| assurances of Democratic votes. But
it was considered doubtful that enough
Democrats would support it to insure
its acceptance, inasmuch as it is con-
ceded the much milder Lodge reserva-
ton could not command the necessary
Democratic support.
MANY substitutes will be offered
before we get one that will prove ac-
ceptable," Senator Hitchcock predict
| ed. Practically all the other leaders
speak confidently but Hitchcock, when
asked as to his view of the prospects,
replied: II don't know"

tCOntln leu from rage Oneb
for the state a great increase in con-
servative union laboring men, The
radical leaders will go to fields where
they may still prey upon the unions
and live off industrial agitation But
the conservative union men who pos
sess much greater numbers than the
general public realizes, will come to
Kansas where they are guaranteed
steady employment. With them will
come those industries which desire to
operate in a sane and just and orderly
industrial atmosphere.
II believe the thing we have done in
Kansas can be done in the nation at
large. 1t is no more experimental than
the establishment of the civil and
criminal courts were experimental
when the evolution of society led us to
their necessity. Every industrial war
fare presumably is started to obtain
justice. Surely, as believers in Anglo
Saxon institutions we must all realize
that the only sure source from which
Justice may emanate is orderly and
| impartial government.
Radicals seek "Revolution.-
AT an hour when radical labor
leaders are seeking to create pro-
scriptive political organization which
shall threaten public officials, it is
time for patriotic Americans to insist
that there shall be one standard of
quality, one guarantee of its admins
tration and that standard, pledge and
guarantee shall be the sovereign pow

tered Europe threaten our stability, it
gives us a moment of calmness and
reinsurance to study the sturdy Amer
lean. to catch the faith he had in JUS
tice and to feel again the unerring
wisdom which he found in righteous
ness and courage. So long as the
national spirit is anchored to Lincoln,
the American republic will be true to
the type which represents govern

to Fire Chief Kenlon. who today APP
pealed to business men to reduce the
amount of traffic on snow clogged
streets where vehicles are likely to be
stranded.
The chief issued his appeal largely
on account of the difficulty fire APP

Engines and trucks were forced to
use sidewalks because of their in
ability to make progress hru the

TO PETITION FOR RAIL MEN.
Hopkins Before Industrial Court on
Behalf Maintenance Workers.

Richard ]. Hopkins, attorney gem
eral, will doubtless file application be-
fore the industrial court for wage in
creases for Kansas members of the
railroad brotherhood of maintenance
of way. The petition will be filed as
soon as the railroads are restored to
private operation.
Hopkins has held number of con-
ferences this week with members of
the railroad union relative to action
before the new labor court. He ad-
vised the labor representatives that
criminal prosecutions would be filed
in district courts of the state in event
q strike order was issued for Kansas
by national officers of the union or
transmitted by local union representa-
tives. 1t is impossible to present the
wage question until federal control is
released. At that time the case may
be taken UP. The criminal cases, in
event of a strike. would be before dis
triet courts in Kansas and not before
the court of industrial relations.

the trainmen had waited sufficiently
