SENATE REJECTS
PLEDGE TO HELP
FIRST SENATE ROLL GALL ON
PEACE TREATY RESULTED IN
n TO 7 FOR REJECTION
Proposed by Walsh Of Montana to Join
Other Powers in Guarantee
Against Invasion Loses
in Roll Call

Washington-The first senate roll
call on the German peace treaty was
taken Monday and resulted in Il to
rejection of the first amendmen. Of
ferred, a proposal by Senator Walsh,
Democrat, of Montana, to have the
United States join the other powers IN
pledge to protect Germany against
unwarranted invasion.
All Republicans and a large majority
OF the Democrats opposed the Walsh
amendment, the first attempt to amend
the treaty. The seven supporters of
the amendment, all Democrats, were
Senators Culberson, Texas; Glass, Vir-
GINA; Hitchcock, Nebraska; King,
Utah; Overman and Simmons, North
Carolina, and Walsh, Montana.
The senate also rejected, 62 to 2, a
second amendment by Senator Walsh
proposing that the United States would
use its good Offices in the event of
wanton attack on Germany.
Those voting for the second Walsh
amendment were Senators Glass,
Hitchcock, King, Mcclellan, Simmons
and Walsh, Montana, all Democrats.
Senator Hitchcock, speaking in favor
of the amendment, declared that since
Germany was being stripped of de-
Tense the United States certainly
should notify the world in advance that
it would frown on any unwarranted at
tack on Germany. He added there was
military party in France that might
become an active danger to the peace
of the world"
Senator Shortridge, Republican of
California, defended Frances course,
saying that she had twice been invaded
by Germany in forty years.
Senator Lodge, Massachusetts, the
Republican leader, who, with Senator
Lenroot, Republican, Wisconsin, spoke
against the amendment, called atten-
ton to the fact that Germany had rat
flied the treaty and said the nation
could be depended upon to look after
its own interests.

"DEFLATION'

During the strike of the Textile
Workers in Concord, the City Coun-
Gil, it is said at the lockout of
the Mill owners, passed an Anti
Picket Law; in addition to this
they induced the governor to send
state troops who patroled the streets
and there were also placed on the
roofs of the mills, machine guns,
trained to rake the street approaches
to the mills; all this for the pro-
lection of the profiteering Cotton
Mill owners, when there had not
even been the least of the laws
broken by the striking employees.
The governor was finally induced
to pay the gun and soldier pro-
tected place a visit and speaking
to the employees on the strike he
denounced the Anti-Picket Law, and
the troops were soon sent home
from which place there was no JUS
tification for their having moved
There is now a controversy on in
that neck of the woods caused by
the Canon Cotton Mill interests re-
questing that their state assess
ment be reduced from nearly TWEEN

Out-Of-WOrk Problem
May Develop Crisis

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. TO-
"The unemployment situation is
nearing dangerous crisis and I'M
less dealt with in an efficient, in
telligent and humane fashion, the
coming winter may find the feed
ing of the hungry and starving not
alone a problem of the old world,
but a problem of the new world"
said the A. F. of L. executive coun-
Gil in a statement issued at it's
quarterly meeting in this city.
"The time has passed for mere
phrasing," the unionists declare.
"The time for action is here. Fol-
lowing false economic principles,
reducing the purchasing power of
the wage earners, throwing out in
dustrial order into hostile camps,
do not make for confidence and sta
bility in our productive processes.
every reduction in wages has
only increased the desire to with
hold production in the hope and
belief that still further reductions
of wages will take place."
Demand is made that federal and
state governments Immediately con-
Germ themselves with putting into
operation processes of production
for public Improvement of buildings,
roads, ETC., and to use the credit
of the country for the encourage
ment of productive processes.
at is time that the industrial,
commercial and financial interests
of our land turn from the path of
prejudice, hatred and selfishness and
follow the course of humanity and
avoid the black clouds of destitu-
ton and starvation that are shad-
owing so many people in other
lands.
"The present unemployment is
due to production on the part
of employers and the constant and
persistent efforts being made to
lessen the ability of the great mass
of our people-the wage earners of
our land-to purchase the commodi-
ties and necessities of life.
eff production is to be enhanced,
the consuming ability of the people
must be enlarged.
at has been demonstrated that
reducing wages does not increase
production.
"Wages have been lowered in
many instances and in all cases ev-
cry sort of promise has been made
for an increased production, and
yet we have today the greatest
number of unemployed workers"

"a. F. of L. Weekly News Service)
ut is unfair to the workmen OF
this and every other community
to reduce their earning power, but
tax them on everything that they
eat or wear, and at the same time
keep the wages of railroad en-
ployes above what other workmen
of the same grade are Wiling
to accept for their own services"
This is a quotation from a state
ment said to have been made by
the president of a large sheet
and tube company.
Who made the statement is OF
little consequence.
The material thing is the phil
osophy of life underlying 1t. That
is also the amazing thing-amaz-
ing that men of today, men who
profess belief in justice, men who
pride themselves on their right
thinking, on their love OF hu-
manity, should rate labor the same
as pig iron is rated.
Labor is humanity. Food, shell
ter, education, the safety of the
home life of America, depend upon
that. This philosophy, in effect,
declares that the payment for labor
shall be governed solely by what
workers are willing to accept.
Can such a philosophy, such a
principle of life, stand the test
of analysis from a human stand
point, from the standpoint of the
ethics of modern civilization.
There is background to this
Willingness to accept" Let us
examine that background. At its
fringe there is the law of neces-
sity-"Men must work in order to
live" Within the cycle Of this
law there are the laws that others
must live off the work that men
shall do. Wives and children must
be provided for, education must be
looked after, mans duties to civil
ization must be observed, else civ
ilization will soon decay.
Work, then, is the basis of
civilization. Wages is the pay which
men receive for the work they do,
for the service they give to civil
ization. This service, in turn, rests
upon work. Whether or not there
is work to be done, the law of
necessity still operates.
This law of necessity brushes the

Here is set the background o.

than that, it is an assault upon
civilization, the practical, driving Of
men into forcing their wives and
their children into a lower standard
of living. depriving child life OF

generations.
In the leading quotation the pig;
iron philosophy is clearly expounded
in the declaration that it is unfair
to reduce the wages of certain
workmen and at the same time keep
up the wages of certain workmeh
and at the same time keep up the
wages of certain other workmen.
The fair thing to do, according
to the tube company president, is
to reduce the higher wages to the
lower standard, and then submit
them all to the test of Willingness
to accept"
There is no ethical standard by
which the wages of labor can be
made subject to the laws which
govern the marketing of pig-lron.
Labor cannot be separated from
the worker. Labor cannot be stored
for future use. It's demands for
sustenance are always immediate
which must be Immediately sup
piled or the laborer will die and
those dependent upon him will suf-

There is, therefore, only one

THE REASON WHY THE
REMEDY DOESN'T WORK
(From "Labor")

Attorney General Daugherty de-
clared that "disrespect for law has
manifested itself in the past main
ly by large corporations or aggre-
cations of wealth, commonly known
as big business, and by labor or
CARNATIONS"
The remedy for this situation, he
believes, is the setting up of a
government tribunal for ascertain
ing facts fully and making an i'm
partial finding" reinforced by full,
accurate, reliable publicity" that
enables the public to have a fair
understanding of all elements in
volved in industrial conflict.
Mr.. Daugherty has taken to his
bosom a theory upon which many
other well-intentioned individuals
have come to grief through bitter
establishment.
Has government tribunal power
to enforce its decree, after made,
and does public opinion exert any
influence on the side of justice =?
Some recent incidents seem to say
No to both questions.
Every tribunal that has ascer-

treatment of workers by the steel
trust has without qualification de-
clared that it was brutally and
cruelty bad.
Has that mitigated in the slight
est degree The wrongs of these
workers? Has public opinion been
powerful enough to break the ar
rogance of the stiff-necked Gary Z?
Not that anybody has noticed.
And what chance is there of
getting the facts to the public
while the commercial press is con-
trolled by large corporations and
aggregations of wealth, commonly
known as big business" and is in
terested not in disseminating truth
and exalting justice but in perpet-
uating grievous conditions that the
attorney general would heal with
a tract?
If that is all Mr.. Daugherty has
to offer towards the solution of a
momentous struggle he might bet
ter keep to his briefs.

OF SUCH THINGS
ARE WARS MADE
(From Labor.

The Mexican supreme court has
declared that the article of the
constitution under which mineral and
oil rights were held to be the sole
and exclusive property of the Nlexi-
can people is not retroactive before
1917.
This decision, it is reliably stat
ed by responsible government off
Gals, has removed practically the
last barrier hating the resumption
of cordial relations between the two
republics.
The provision of the constitution
to which exception was taken by
American oil interests has been a
part of Mexico's organic law for
more than half a century. 1t has
not been enforced, because, as ev-
erybody who knows anything about
MeXico's affairs we'll realizes, the
foreign oil interests had corrupted
and subordinated Mexico's officials
to their own dubious schemes.
In 1917, when a new constitution
was written, this provision was re-
tanned, and a popular government
sought to enforce it. American oil
interests set up a howl of con-
fiscation, were supported by the
United States government, and on
various occasions this nation was
on the point of sending it's young
men across the border to give eff
feet to its demand that the funda-
mental law be not invoked against
interests that had, under the con-
ditions already stated, appropriated
the rights of the Mexican people.
Happily, the Mexican people were
more interested in peace and its
prosperity than in war and its
horrors and have submitted grace
fully to what must have been q
humiliating alternative, and thus
have definitely removed the cause
for intervention.
They have saved us from another
bloody struggle, but in so doing
have directed attention anew t.
the real bone of dissension between
the republics.
Against the profits of the oil
men were placed national honor
governmental good faith, and the
lives of those who would have beer
called upon to do the fighting hac
the issue not been so fortunately
adjusted.
