CLEMENCEAU REMAINS FIRM
Premier Clemenceau, replying for
the allies to the German note asking
readjustment of the labor section of
the peace treaty. Indicated thai arti
cle must be accepted as drafted. The
official texts of the note ant" reply
were made public today.
The German communication, signed
by Foreign Minister Brockdorff-Rant-
sau. said:
"With reference to articles 55 and 56
of the proposals for the establishment
of a league of nations submitted by us.
We beg herewith to transmit the draft
of an international labor law, prepared
by the German government
MAKE PLEA
"The German government is of one
mind with the allied and associated gov
ernments in holding that the greatest
attention must be given to labor Ques
tions. Domestic peace and the advance
ment of mankind depend vitally on the
adjustment of this question. The , de
mands for social Justice, repeatedly
raised in thiB respect by the working
classes of all nations, are only partially
realised in section 13 of the draft of
peace conditions of the allied and asso
ciated governments on the organization
of labor. These sublime demands have
for the most part been "realized in Ger
many, with the assistance of the work
ing classes, as is generally acknowledged
In an explanatory manner. In order to
carry them into execution everywhere In
the interest of mankind, the acceptance
of the program of the German dele
gates is at least necessary.
WAST MORE TALK
"We deem it requisite that all states
should join the agreement even though
not belonging to the League of Nations.
"In order to guarantee to the working
classes, for whom the proposed Improve
ments : are Intended, cooperation In
framing of these provisions, the German
delegation is of the opinion that repre
sentatives of the international organiza
tions of all contracting powers should be
summoned to a conference at Versailles
to discuss and make decision on interna
tional labor law, before the peace ne
gotiations are terminated.
"The proceedings of the conference
phould. in the opinion of the German
delegation, be based on resolutions of
the International trades unions confer
ence In Berne (February 5 to 9. 1919)
program for international labor legisla
tion, addressed to the peace conference
in Paris, which emanated from the de
cision 'of the international trades union
conference in Leeds in 1918. At the re
quest of the trades unions of Germany
we beg to enclose a copy of these resolu
tions, which have been adopted by rep
resentatives of the trades unions organ
isations of Bohemia, Bulgaria, Denmark,
Germany, France, Greece, Holland. Italy,
Norway, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland,
Spain and Hungary."
PREPARED IX BERLIN
The international agreement on labor
law prepared by the Germans, referred
to in Brockdorff-Rantzau's letter, was
prepared in the German ministry of
labor some months ago and first pub
lished on May 1. Most of this document
is taken tip with detailed proposals for
labor legislation, a number of which
were incorporated ia the international
labor charter- issued by the syndicalist
conference at Berne in July. ;
Slight provision, however, is made for
continuance of international labor, leg
islation. Article, seven, which contains
the proposition for international organ
isation, speaks of an international con
ference which should meet at least once
in five years. In it each power would
have one vote and a four fifth majority
would be necessary ; before . any resolu
tions would be binding: upon its mem
bers. A commission charged with the
technical -oversight of the j decrees of
this conference is, the only place where
labor would have any direct representa
tion, and corresponds, with lesser pow
ers, to the international labor office ar
ranged for in the terms of the allies.
WIDE HA ICG E COYEBEDi
The definite terms proposed at present
Include: ' -
Freedom of Immigration and tne right
of immigrants to full trades union privi
leges; the right of combination; social
insurance ; the eight-hour day and week
ly rest; the 11-year age limit for child
labor ; medical supervision of juveniles ;
provision for education of young per
sons ; the minimum waxe ; protection of
women in Industry and of workers in
dangerous trades.
Clemenceau, in replying, said : '
"I have the honor to acknowledge re
ceipt of your letter of May 10 In regard
to international labor legislation, to
gether with the drsft of the Interna
tional agreement on labor. The reply of
the allied and associated governments ts

COVERED I2C TREATY
"2 The labor convention has been in-'
serted in the treaty of peace and Ger
many, therefore, will be called upon to
gjgn it. In the future the rights of your
country to participate in the labor or
ganization wUl be secured so soon as it
is admitted into the League of Nations
in accordance with article 1 of the
treaty.
"3 It has not been thought necessary
to summon a labor conference at Ver
sailles. The conclusions of the syndical
conference at Berne, which are repro
duced in the draft of the international
agreement on labor laws referred t'o in
the first paragraph of your letter on
May 10, had already been studied with
the closest attention. Representatives
of the trades unions have taken part in
the preparation of the articles relating
to labor. As appears, moreover, from
the annex to section 2 of part 13. the
program of the first session of the in
ternational labor inference, to be held
at Washington next October, comprises
the most important part of the questions
raised at the syndical conference at
Berne. Trades unions will be invited to
take part In that conference and it wilj
be held under direct rules which provide
for due effect being riven to conclu
sions, subject only to the assent of the
competent authorities in the country
represented.
INTERESTS ABE GUARDED 1 '
"4 The draft of International agree
ment on labor law, prepared by the
German government is deficient, in that
it makes no provision for the represen
tation of labor at the International con
ference proposed. It also is' Inferior to
the provisions submitted In part 13 of
the peace conditions in the following re
ports :
"(A) Five years is suggested, as a
maximum Interval between conference
(article 7). The peace conditions one
year (article 389).
"(B) Each country has one vote
(article 7), The peace conditions give
a vote to each delegate, where repre
senting a government, employers or
workers (article 390).
M(C) Resolutions are only .binding If
carried by a majority of four fifths of
the voting countries (article 7). The
peace conditions provide that a ma
jority of two thirds only of the votes
cast shall be necessary on the final vote
for the adoption of a recommendation by
the conference (article 405X
"The allied and associated govern
ments are therefore of the opinion that
their decisions give satisfaction to the
anxiety which the German delegation
profess for social justice and insure the
Bandits9 Temptation Removed
State Mazuma; Is Hidden Away
Salem, May 15.- There now remains no
inducement In the state treasurer's of
fice to tempt any of the numerous rob
bers, who are operating In the North
west, to risk their lives or liberty in
disputes with the minions of law and
order.
All such temptations as formerly re
posed in the vaults of the treasurer's
office have been removed to another
place of safe keeping, whereabouts not
divulged. -
Heretofore negotiable securities to
the value of from 11.000,000 to $2,000,000
were kept in the vaults of the state
treasury. These valuable papers rested
in perfect security after office hours
when the doors of the ponderous safe
had been closed and locked. But during
the daytime, when the doors stood open,
there was nothing to prevent some enter
prising "get-rich-quick bandit from
walking into the treasurer's office armed
with a Couple ' of automatics and dis
guised with a handkerchief over his face,
"sticking up" State Treasurer Hoff,
Cashier Davis and the other members
of the treasurer's staff of assistants and
deputies, and walking away with a
bundle of "swag that would have sent
the ordinary bank robbery begging for
space In the "city brier columns while
the state treasury -i hold-up strutted -all
over the front pages of the metropolitan
dailies. v , ." : ' ,
But it's too fate now. ;
"When we began thinking about this
thing, which came' about by reason of
the frequency of robberies all over the
country, we thought about turning; the
office into a small arsenal with a couple
of automatics for every member of the
staff," explained Cashier Davis, who.
besides being cashier is, by reason of
his previous newspaper eiperier.ee, also
publicity man in the treasury depart
ment. "But we decided that such a
course would be too much of an invita
tion for some one to begin shooting so
we determined to avoid any risk, either
to the security or to the life and Umb
of the staff, by' simply removing: any
temptation that might exist by reason of
the presence of the loot in the vault."
The only reward that awaits a bandit
in the office of the state treasurer now
is a handful of greenbacks and small
change that would make any self re
specting professional feel like a piker.

PERSHING TALKS OVER
ARMY PLANS WITH FOCH
Paris. May 15. (L N. S.) Marshal
Foch already has conferred with Gen
eral Pershing regarding the part the
American army of occupation will take
in the event that .Germany refuses to
sign the peace treaty and military
measures become necessary.
The nature of these measures natur
ally is a secret. The American -army
of occupation, as now composed, con
sists largely of veteran units well fitted
for carrying out any task assigned to
them.
Marshal Foch was at an American
army headquarters at Coblens today.
He conferred with Lieutenant General
Liggett and discussed briefly military
action if the Germans refuse to sign.

Linton. Ind., May 15. (I. N .S.) Girl
telephone operators of Linton, whose
strike a few weeks ago resulted In dis
orders that caused state troops to be
sent here, are again on strike. The
temporary agreement between the
operators and the New Home Telephone
company, a central union plant ar
ranged during the previous trouble, ex
pired at 4 :1S o'clock yesterday after
noon and as the counter proposals of
the company were rejected, the operators
walked out. There has been no phone
service here since that hour and word
from the central union offices at
Indianapolis is to the effect that the
plant will stand Idle.
A HOME-MADE GRAY
HAIR REMEDY
You Can Make at Horn a Better Gray
Hair Remedy Than You Can Buy.
Gray streaked or faded hair Is not
only unbecoming, but unnecessary. Tou
can darken It without using a dye.
"Anyone can prepare a simple mixture
at home, at very little cost, that will
darken gray hair, and make it soft and!
glossy. To a half pint of water add 1
ounce of bay rum. a email box of Barbo
Compound and ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be bought at any
drug store at very little cost, or the
druggist will put it up for you. Apply
to the hair twice a week until the de
sired shade is obtained. This will make
a gray haired person look twenty years
younger. It lu not a dye, it does not
color the most delicate scalp ; is not
sticky or greasy and does not rub off."

results. The discharged soldiers are re
