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.
