LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL

Industrial unrest which manifested
itself during the period of reaction i'm.
mediately following the war, became
even more marked during the year
1920. Radical activities were involved
In some of the labor disputes ia this
country, but this was true to much
larger extent in the labor troubles that
beset most of the countries Of Europe
during the greater part Of the year.
The first month Of the year was
marked, in the United States, by the
abandonment of the steel workers
strike which had been begun on Sen
tember %.

France, February ~, by a general
strike of rail workers. The premier
called all the strikers into the army.

An 'outlaw" strike Of railroad
switchmen began in Chicago April Is,
and spread rapidly to other parts Of
the country. Federal officers arrested
30 leaders Of the strike in Chicago,

Failure Of Senate to Ratify Peace

Election Holds Interest.
BY DONALD +. eloes.


The world throughout the year 1920
was passing through the troublesome
period OF readjustment and reaction
that began with the close Of the World
war. OF all the great powers that had
been involved In the conflict, the Unit
cd States alone remained technically
in a state Of war with Germany
through the failure Of the senate to
ratify the peace treaty. For all prac-
teal purposes, however, the United
States was at peace and conditions in
this country were more nearly normal
than In most of the nations Of Europe
which had accepted the settlements
agreed upon by the peace conference
at Paris.
Although the great war had ended.
the world was not at peace in 1920.
Territorial disputes and jealousies
growing out of the war resulted In
large number Of minor conflicts.
The Irish problem remained un-
solved and the situation in the Elmer
aid Isle grew more serious as the year
progressed. In the United States. de-
spite minor radical activities and the
accompanying the read
justment of business and Industrial
conditions, there was continued pros
perity and optimism.

: sultfng in rejection of the treaty for
the second time. occupied the atten-
ton OF the United States senate during
the early months Of 1920 and monop-
ollzed the attention of the public, so
far as congressional action was con-
cerned. The Cummins-Esch bill, nm
der which the railroads Of the country
operated after their return to private
control. and the army reorganization
bill were the principal pieces of legis-
lat1on enacted befd1e the first regular
session Of the Sixty-sixth congress

olution. President Wilson vetoed this

ures, with the adjournment of con-
gress. On the day before adjourn
ment, President Wilson vetoed the
budget bill which had been passed BY
