PARIS. Oct. . (Special Cable.)
The publication of Premier Clemen
ceau'a letter to E. M. House, urging
that a meeting of the league of na
tion, with President Wilson aa chair
man, be held in Washington early
next month, is regarded here as an
appeal for speedy ratification of the
peace treaty by the United States
er.ate. This view Is particularly
strong in American circles here.
It is understood that representative
.trench politicians have suggested
emphatically to Premier Clemtnc.au
the advisability of seeking to have
the Versaillea settlement brought Into
effect by America's approval ra'.her
than that of either Italy or Japan
without American participation
from the outset, the French are fear
ful of complications which might
make enforcement of the settlements
extremely difficult. It was this feel
ing that led the Tiger to make pub
lic the text of his communication to
Air. House.
Ratification la t'rged.
Moreover, there nave been appeals
Irom French sources to the American
delegates here, notably to Mr. House,
to do everything possible to prevent
the postponement of ratification. Con
aequently. the conviction, expressed
so emphatically at the Hotel Crillon.
American headquarters, yesterday.
that Italy would ratify immediately
by a royal decree, has changed over
right to the belief that King Victor
Lmnunucl will not aut before Atner
lea's position has been defined.
American officials here feel that it
will not be necessary to summon the
league of nations together at Wash
Ington unless by that time America
has become a member of the league.
It will be necessary, of course, for
President Wilson, acting under article
( of the covenant, to call a meeting
of the league council to discuss ques
tions relating to the administration
of the Saar valley, which must be
settled within a fortnight after the
treaty goes into effect. Once that
specific function has been performed,
however, further assemblages of the
league can wait until the United
States has accepted or rejected the
treaty.
Leisie Ready te Begfn,
In this connection Mr. House In
formed me today that he gladly as
sented to the publication of Mr. Clem
enceau's letter when the premier
asked his permission. Mr. House
added there wss no reason. In his
view, why the letter should not have
been made public before this.
"The league Is ready to begin
work." said Mr. House, "so much so
that in fact I have had to use efforts
to prevent functioning too soon."
While, from the American stand
point, it would be unfortunate for the
. league to get under way before
America Is ready to participate, there
la obviously need of its actlivty at
. the earliest possible moment.
Of the matters now before the peace I
' conference, only the Turkish treaty I
- could not be more properly and prob
- ably more efficiently handled by the
. league council than by the present
- council of five.
laltr. States Delegation Confident.
' It Is firmly believed by the Ameri
- can peure delegation that the treaty
will be ratified and that no reserva
- Hons will be mad on any part of It.
'.A highly-placed official at the Hotel
Crillon. In framing his opinion today,
h larded the following prognostic
I tlon:
"Suppose the treaty Is ratified
. stoat October 20. President Wilson
could call the first meeting of the
. lesgue toward the end of November,
'. and every one would then be able
to Judge of the real use and impor-
tance of the league.
Questioned aa to Senator Hoke
Smith's reservations, this official's
answer was:
Rati flea Horn Relieve France
"We must not forget that, three
years ago. Senator Smith asserted
. trat the British blockade was he
' - cause of the low price of cotton. The
'J, contrary was the result. The block-
axle caused, the price of cotton to
double."
The concensus of opinion here Is to
lU'the effect that, after England's and
France's example. It would be unfor-
tunate If America is not the third
power to ratify the treaty.

but with a profound slfrh of relief.
the ratification of the peace treaty by
the chan.ber of deputies. The whole
country echoes the sentiments of that
r socialist deputy who. when the vote
was announced, cried passionately.
" "Vive la Paix."

Wcrd from Rome Indicates that rat

T the formal re-estab!ishment of peace

within a fortnight.
Two outstanding features of the
- chamber's vote are the split In the
" socialist ranks which It revealed, and
the forceful antagonism to the treaty
projected by the representatives of
J? the northern departments. The unl-
- fied socialists were expected to stand
solidly against ratification, whereas
more than a third of their number
simply abstained from voting. L'llu-
man it e. the party's organ, claims,
however, that in any event the prin
cipal of refusing to register confi
dence in the Instrument was main
tained. Refusals Are Klxplalaed.
Deputies from the devastated re
gions voted against the treaty be
cause they felt that Insufficient
guarantees are provided for the
prompt reconstruction of the wrecked
territory at Germany's expense. The
royalists refused to ratify because
the treaty la too tender toward the
. Germane.
When the results of the balloting
were reported there was a consid
erable atir among the legislators,
but no applause whatever. Premier
Clemenceau smilingly accepted the
congratulations of a few of his fol
lowers w ho rushed to the ministerial
benches to shake his hand.

of the world. These negotiations
pass. France remains. Her 40.000.000
children -must labor now with one
heart and one soul to win her place

The conservative Echo De Paris
finds room for satisfaction in the
largeness of the majority, which it
says, gives the treaty all its force
and "affords the government all the
authority necessary to discuss with
our allies ameliorations legitimately
sought in the name of French in
terests." Improvements Are Fore seem.
"For totally different reasons the
socialist paper Humanite also fore
sees Improvements in the treaty which
falls to assure us peace for to
morrow.
""Henceforth It is up to the people
to take the Indispensable revision,"
Humanite writes. "Everywhere they
are manifesting their discontent so
powerfully that everybody senses the
dawn of decisive events."
After passing upon several resolu
tions dealing with interpretation of
the treaty, the chamber will consider
the question of a general amnesty
measure, and then go to the country'
at a general election now fixed for
November 9. The Clemenceau ministry
gives no sign of meaning to relin
quish voluntarily the reins of power.

not long ago from an extended tour

GARY, Ind., Oct. 6. Late last night
200 state troops were brought to Gary
from Indiana Harbor and fcast Chi
cago, where Sunday Adjutant-General
Harry B. Smith of Indiana mobilized
12 comoanies of national guardsmen,
following minor disturbances which
came on the heels of the rioting Sat
urday night. One man was reported
shot Sunday.
Striking steel workers thronged the
streets and literally thousands of
union pickets were active.
The chief organized effort of the
pickets occurred at the gates of the
American Sheet & Tin Plate mills,
where the pickets tried to force past
the guards, supposedly in an effort
to enter the plant to get workers to
leave. They were dispersed.
The Saturday night rioting occurred
when a street car bearing a few
workers to the steel plant was blocked
by a freight train at a street crossing.

There was no rioting.

The general feeling appeared to be
one ot relief rather than of joy, and
nobody seemed troubled much abou
the terms of the settlement. Railway
men traveling home in busses an
trams with their wives were, how
ever. In a state of glee, and they mad
the journey a sort of Joyride.
"Good old Thomas." one group
strikers shouted from the top of
king's cross. "It's all over, we start
tomorrow."
The railway pickets outside the
Euston station were relieved by cy
cllist orderlies, who rode up and shout
ed that cheery message: "Satisfactory
settlement." The men shook hands
and the pickets left the station.
The Daily News says: "The leaders
on each side claim to have secured
peace with honor. The defeat of th
government in spite of the dual rol
which it was unfortunately, though
as it seemed Inevitably compelled to
fill, would have been obtained with

had resolved, to go under themselves

waymen broken."
King George, who had hurried back
to London from Scotland in conse
quence of the strike situation, took
the keenest interest in its develop
ment and while carefully refraining
from many suggestions of taking
sides in the dispute, lost no time get
ting in close touch with both parties.
He was at work in his private room
from an early hour dealing with docu
ments from the varleus government
departments relating to the situation
and was in frequent telephone com
munlcation with some of the principal
parties to the dispute. He learned
with great pleasure, first from the
prime minister and then from Mr.
Thomas that the strike had ended
and at once arranged to have Lloyd
George come to him at the palace
the earliest possible moment with the
full terms of the settlement.

MEDIATORS WIN TRIUMPH
Public Feels Relieved When Strike
Settlement I Anounced.
LONDON, Oct. . (Special Cable.)
The railway strike .has ended in
defeat for neither side and a strik
ing victory for the trade union media
tors, whose efforts to obtain peace
were untiring, even when the situa
tion was most threatening.
Broadly the terms of settlement are
that the present earnings of the men
in all grades (that is. pre-war wages
plus the 30 shillings war wage) shall
continue until September 30, next
year. This is a considerable conces
sion by the government; which orig
inally proposed that there should be
no alteration until December 31 of
this year and then suggested that
no alteration should take place until
March 31. next year.
The whole question of wages Is to
be rediscussed subject to the pro
vision that the wages of no railway
man on any system shall fall below
SI shillings a week till the cost of
living decreases to less than 110 per
cent above normal. This is a con
cession which will mean an Immediate
advance of 2 shillings a week to many
thousands of porters, who received
only 18 shillings In 1914. and are
presently getting 4? shillings.
Altogether, though the men s de
mands were not conceded In the form
submitted, in substance their claim
is gained for a full year.
News of the settlement, which was
announced from Downing street Sun
day evening, spread throughout Lon
don with bewildering rapidity. Bus
men and tram conductors quickly told
the good tidings to their passengers,
who, however, for the most part re
fused to be convinced until they read

to
to
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct 6. (Special.)
With no refined cane sugar in sight
and the visible supply of the retail
trade practically exhausted, dealers
in San Francisco and vicinity are
facing one of the most serious sugar
shortages that has ever confronted
the community.
A meeting of the representatives of
the cane-sugar refineries has been
called to endeavor to effect eleventh
hour relief measures. This fact was
given out by Ralph P. Merritt, fed
eral food controller for this district,
who has been endeavoring to find
some means of relieving conditions.
Organization Is Desired.
The meeting will endeavor to bring
about an organization for the dis-
ribution of whatever supplies can be
found.
Numerous factors have brought
about the sugar famine. The closing
of the western sugar refinery by a
strike of about 100 employes of that
concern within the last week, how
ever, shut off entirely the source of
supply of refined sugar from the
whole Pacific coast.
Prior to its closing by the strike
of refinery hands, the Western's out
put had been greatly reduced by the
present stevedores' strike. At pres
ent there are sufficient cargoes of
raw sugar waiting to be unloaded in
the bay to keep the Western running
at capacity, or 90,000 bags a week, for
a period of one month. This, accord
ing to Merritt, would more than meet
the immediate demands of the Pacific
coast.
Sugar to Go Kast.
At Crocket the Hawaiian-American
refinery is running at full capacity,
but all of this sugar is for eastern
shipment under the operation of the
federal government's control of the
ugar output. It has been the effort
of Merritt and a number of local
brokers to have some of this sugar
diverted to local needs, but so far
othing along this line has been ac
complished.
Beet sugar in small quantities is
now coming on the marke, but this
will not come in any considerable
quantities before the middle of this
month.
Much of that which is ow being
produced is being shipped east, ac
cording to local sugar men.
The beet-sugar crop this year, How
ever, is said to be very light and Is
xDected to be entirely exnaustea
within six or eight weeks.

fore Conference.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. Capital,
labor and the public sat down today
in a conference called by President
Wilson to consider industrial prob
lems arising out of reconstruction.
A basis of co-operation between the
three great elements in the life of
the nation which will go far toward
eliminating strikes and other social
unrest is hoped for as a result of the
deliberations.
The only discordant note so far has
been the opposition of the railroad
unions to the basis of representation
offered them. Acting as a unit, the
14 transportation organizations are
considering a compromise proposal
offered by Director-General Hines,
acting for the president, which would
allow the four brotherhoods one dele
gate each, with the other unions to
be represented by the delegates ac
credited to the American Federation
of Labor with which they are affil
iated. There was no indication whether
the proposal would be accepted.
The department of labor has re
ceived and will lay before the con
ference more than 100 proposals, many
from well-known students of indus
trial relations suggesting plans to
bring about closer co-operation be
tween capital and labor.
