"I am glad to commend In the hear

PERSHING, G0MPERS
CLASH AT BANQUET

WASHINGTON, Sept. General
Pershing and Samuel Gompers had a
tilt last night at a dinner given at the
close of the exercises here celebrating
Lafayette-Marne day. At least Off
cial Washington regarded it as a
clash over the question of whether
labor won the war.
Mr.. Gompers had spoken on the
after dinner program and while he
did not assert that labor won the war
he told of the record of the American
Federation of Labor during the war
and said that previously to the entry
of the United States. its sympathy
was with the cause of the allies.
General Pershing, however, appar
emily regarded Mr.. Gomperss remark;
as a claim that labor had won the

LEAGUE ASSEMBLY Y POST PONIES DISCUSSION

of the league made an effort to have
Bolivia consent to an indefinite post
ponement, but he failed of success and
renewed endeavors by Sir Robert
Cecil, representing South Africa, at
the meeting of the assembly were also
fruitless.
1t was reported in French circles
that Bolivia had agreed not to bring
the question before this meeting of
the assembly. This has been denied
by Senor Aramayo who is said to be
determined to bring the matter to an
issue although feeling there is little
chance of success.
Today's meeting therefore opened
with considerable anxiety over the
matter and the proposal to take up the
next order of business, was, said to
depend upon last minute attempts to
compromise the differences between
the two South American republics.
Agustin Edwards, head of the Chill
can delegation took the floor when to-
days meeting opened He declared

assembly should take into considera-

GENEVA, Sept. THE Assembly of
the League of Nations at its session
today postponed again discussion OF
the request of Bolivia that the long
disputed question of the provinces of
Taona and africa, now under the ad-
ministration of Chile. be placed on the
agenda of the assembly.
The discussion was put over until a
later day on the suggestion of the new
president of the assembly, H. A. Van
Karnebeek, the Dutch foreign minister.
When today's session opened Angus
tin Edwards, head of the Chilean
! delegation, took the floor and declared
that the request of BOLIVIA ought to be
rejected without debate. In an ardent,
eloquent speech Senor Edwards de-
fined Chile's position as uncompromis-
ing on this question. He recalled that
the President of Bolivia had declared
he would respect the treaty of 1904
between Chile and Bolivia, revision of
which Bolivia has asked the assembly
! to take under consideration.
Edwards Defends Treaty.
/ The incompetence of the league to
revise the treaty of 1904 was the prin.
cipal argument of Senor Edwards
| oPSSNA. IlS OCCldIO tic Ol
! the League of Nations provides for the
revision of inapplicable treaties only.
Can any one pretent that this treaty
under which we have lived in peace
| for seventeen years, is inapplicaole? p
| he asked.
! Bolivia has indicated she would re
quest tina. the league refer to a com
mission the question as to whether il
was competent to revise the treaty be
tween Bolivia and Chile relative tt
Tacna and africa. After last nights
conference Senor Aranayo said tha
the president of the assembly had re
fused to give any assurance that the
question would be referred to a com
mission.
i President Van Karnebeek told Seno
Aramayo the assembly could not plac,
itself in the dangerous positions o
tacitly going on record as being com
petent to revise treaties. He declared

CONDITIONS QUIET
IN ILLINOIS MINES
(By Associated Press)

HARRISBURG, H., Sept. --latest
reports from Rosiclare and Eliza beth
town, Ill, today indicated that condi-
tions were quiet in the FlourSpar
camps, where there had been trouble
between miners and mine guards, but
the various reports of recent Difficult
ties were so contradictory that the
real extent of violence could not be
learned definitely.
Stories told by persons friendly to
the operators of the mines indicated
that union sympathizers had staged
mock flights under pursuit of armed
mined guards so that pictures of the
refugees" could be taken while un-
ion sympathizers brought details Of
rough treatment at the hands of those
opposed to unionizing of the workers.
1t seemed to be established that
numbers of miners and members of
their families had left the mining
towns in fear of violence.
District Attorney Toward is inves-
tigating the various stories, but said
he had as yet obtained no specific
evidence of violence of a concerted
nature on either side.

helped embarrassed bankers and others
still carrying last years crop. 1t can
not be said to be a step in the direc-
ton of the only true wealth, which
consists of more goods and more buy
ing power.
Also while the influence of the War
Finance corporation cannot be mini.
mized, it is to be remembered that
the chief help it has rendered has
been in the shape of saving en-
barrassed persons from the necessity
of forced liquidation. 1t has enabled
the owner of the cotton to wait for
better market and has prevented un.
loading on a disordered buyers mar
ket, which might readily have forced
the price of cotton lower than it went
with effects of cumulative disaster.
Can't Create Wealth
But the War Finance corporation
has not been able to create any new
buying power. 1t has not been able
to stimulate exports as greatly as il
once hoped because the inability ol
disinclination of Europe to buy il
great quantity is caused by the chaos

alone cannot cure.
