Fen rose Avers Conference Agreed to Section. Wit lion t CnderstancT lns Its Meaning. SOMETHING WENT WRONG! AND THE CAMERA CAUGHT FOR THE FIRST AND PROB ABLY THE LAST TIME A THRILL GREATER THAN ANY EVER DREAMED OF BEFORE c WASHINGTON, Oct. SO. Formally opening the fight on the labor sec tion of the peace treaty, Senator La Follette, republican of Wisconsin, moved in the senate late today to strike out the entire section which provides for establishment of an in ternational labor organization.. Debate on the motion, which may last for several days, was started by Senator Thomas, democrat, Colorado, who attacked the labor section as creating "a supernation for the bene fit of a particular. cLass.'.' He called attention to a clause in the treaty declaring the well-being . of wage earners to be "of supreme interna tional importance" and quoted Samuel Gompers as saying the labor provi sions were written by labor men for labor. Agreement to such a programme. Senator Thomas asserted, would not be in the interest of the world's peace, t'onatitutionallty In Attacked. The section not only is unconsti tutional in several respects, he con tinued, but its proposal for uniform labor standards is "grotesque" and can result only in a leveling to the standards of China and India. He es timated that the international labor body would cost the United States "fully as much as the expenses of our own government." Senator Penrose, republican. Penn sylvania, suggested that the peace conference agreed to the labor section without understanding It. and de clared if it were understood now every trade union in the United States would condemn it. Textually. the treaty today was just where It was when it was laid before the senate on July 10, the last of the amendments attached by the foreign relations committee, after weeks of rteliberation, having been thrown out by the senate yesterday. Lone Debate Is Expected. In view of the present unsettled labor conditions, elements are ex pected to be injected into the debate on the treaty labor provisions which may prolong it considerably. The leaders do not look for action for a week or more. IJXFORCEMKXT IS DISCUSSED Supreme Council Considers Putting Peace Treaty Into Effect. PARIS, Oct. 30. The supreme coun cil today discussed possible dates for putting the German peace treatv into effect but postponed a decision' until Saturday. The council also discussed the ar mistice conditions which the reports of Marshal Foch and others have Bhown Germany has violated. The payment Germany must make for the warships sunk at Scapa Flow was again discussed and it was pro posed that floating drydocks and similar property be exacted from her in payment for the destroyed war ships. 'The British government apparently has accepted in principle the re sponsibility for tlie destruction of the fleet at Scapa Flow (British waters), and is willing to guarantee France against any loss from this cause. PARIS, Oct. 30. (Havas.) Notifi cation has been given the peace con ference by a representative of Italy here that the proposal by Foreign Minister TittonI for the settlement of the Fiume problem had not been ac cepted by the United States. Jt is declared by authoritative Italian quarters, however, that al though the reply of Secretary of State Lansing was unfavorable as a whole, a considerable portion of the Tittoni proposal was accepted and that the exchanges with the United States on the subject will be con tinued. As soon as the extreme concessions the United States is willing to make are known, Italy's position will be definitely announced. PARIS, Oct. 30. (Havas.) Before the peace treaty becomes effective, the German representatives will be required, it is expected here, to sign an additional protocol binding Ger many to carry out armistice clauses which were not incorporated in the treaty of Versailles. The supreme council today considered the text of the proposed instrument. The proposed protocol refers hief-. ly to the demands for the surrender to France and Belgium of specified quantities of railroad rolling stock, agricultural machinery and other ar ticles to make good losses during the war, which had not oeen met in full at the time of the signature of the treaty.
