fin his first address since his return
from Europe, Hoover late yesterday said
the peace treaty Is by no means perfect
and that "no one could be more dis-
appointed than the American delegation
that some great wrongs that were the
i results of secret treaties were
; not eradicated by the conference. ' . But
-. If tha .American delegation had ' with'
' drawn ffrom the' conference ; if iwould

, 'Hoover's speech was an argument for
adoption - of the treaty. - if the allies
ratify it' without v us, he .said,' It; would
mean "more army, and navy for us,wlta
the old treadmill of taxes and dangers.
' f i-m it r. . .
"X am confident that If we attempt to
revise the treaty we shall tread a road
through "European chaoa If we mfcnage
- to keep our soldiers out of It we will not
" escape tearful economic losses. J. :
" "Tha allies may themselves revise this
council of .nation of their own In an
endeavor to solve the problems of Eu
rope. (It would be a council of Europe
and In ih' midst of t&eaa tarribla ttmea.
- considering the debts they owe us, the
material they must have from us or
starve, I would rather" that tfe be rep-
. resented therein lest It become a league

Trades council was notified, -but an at
tempt to negotiate the matter- was un
availing.- The company offered to place
the S cents an hour difference in escrow
for the men and to pay it when the ship
ping board settled with the company.
but the offer was rejected, v . , .;
Hundreds of men- employed at the
plant reported : 4rom - Portland - this
morning to find the gates locked. -.The
company' has four ships under construc
tion, for government contract and If .the
delay is not too prolonged these may
oe completed in about two months.
0YERM1BE MAKES STATEMENT
"Not one pound of government work
la in my shop," said Mr. Overmire of
the McDougall-Overmire company. this
morning. '"I do not consider that my
shop is subject to the conditions de
manded for the men in the shipyards,
and rather than accede to '' those de
mands. I will finish what work I have
immediately on hand and suspend, op
erations.
The walkout at this plant, said to
be the largest - contract shop in the
city, affected 165 men . Wednesday
morning. The plant was -operating this
morning with greatly reduced forces.
Pickets with banners were stationed
in force by the strikers, and police
were-' on- hand to see that no disorder
occurred.
f Slnce Wednesday ' I have ' sold busi
ness contracted for that, would amount
In labor for Portland, men; to 1100,000,"
Mr. Overmire explained. ? -"
i "These contracts have "been disposed
-of to the north to Puget Sound; firms-;
and In. the south to firms in and around
San Francisco. This work was- con
tracted in open bidding against Eastern
and ' mid-Western competition. It has
no concern whatever ..with ' shipbuilding
or government projects.
MACT SCALE PAID . " . . . -'
"In making these contracts X had to
bid . against companies where the wage
average, is 49 cents an hour. I have
been paying a wage average of and
70 .cents an hour and cannot afford
to go higher. .We are paying the Macy
scale, now because we had to compete
in the labor market with tbe shipyards,
but that does not mean - that .we have
to follow the advance of the shipyard
people." - ' ' , . -
With the exception ' Of . this shop.
Metal Trades council officials claimed
today that their strike against the con
tract: shops, and shipyards was won.
All the larger shops, they assert, have
signed the scale giving an- l cent in
crease per hour and providing for the
44 ' hour week, and in .the shipyards
that are closed ho-attempt Is being
made to combat the unions. v ? -
Construction of eight 'ships for the
emergency board, being done by the
Standlfer plant, is delayed . as - a result
of the strike.' . The Olockson. Waban,
Wauwalona and . the Nlsmaha have been
launched and the fitting la nearly com
plete. In - fact, 'the Waban, 'which is

Former President Wflllam Howard
Taft conferred with a number of the
mild reservationists" on the Rei
publican- side today "on the possibil
ity of the senate being able to agree
in the near future to reservations to
the peace treaty..- '.. -
Taft visited Senator McCumber - (Re
publican, North'. Dakota), a ' League . of
Nations advocate, in his office at the
capltoL Senator Kellogg Republican
MinnesoU), s.nd other "mild reserva-.
tionists". dropped in on the conference.
My sole object is the ratification
of the treaty." Taft said as he lert
the conference.'
- Senator McCumber said that no agree
ment had yet been reached between the
"mild reservationists and senators
favoring textual amendments as to the
phraseology- of ; the reservations to be
adopted finally, but expected that such
an agreement would soon be reached.
RESERVATION PLANS WIDENED
TO INCLUDE ALL AMENDMENTS
Washinsrton. Oct. 3 (U, ; P. The
program of senate reservationists is to
be broadened- to include practically all
matters covered by amendments - that
have been or win oe proposes w.'.un
peace treaty,' it was evident today.r '
Not' only , does .the proposed reserva
tion, program, contemplate relieving the
TTnid v states of any - obligation to
send troops . abroad under Article X to
ty,m rr4tnrla.l or nolttlcal in-
dependence of foreign nations against
external . aggression, out .
include prohibition against the use -f
American troops abroad for- any pur
pose without the : specific consent of
congress. . '
WITHDRAWAL FBOTIDED
The new" orosxam is also to provide.
senators said, that the United- States
hall not be represented on European
boundary commissions or otner ooaies
set up to . carry out treaty provisions.
If for any "reason congress thinks -this
country should not be represented, and
is to provide for American wiinarawai
from membership on any sucn comixua
Hlon at any time congress desires. -
A check is to be Placed upon the acts
of American members of such commls-'.
sions so their votes will be. suojectea to
"vise' by congress. All such American
representatives must be approved by the
senate' before entering on their duties,
if the broadened reservation pun la ac
cented, i '
This" program has now for the first
time become public, its supportersald.
.LODGE IS DELIGHTED
Fall's amendments were overwhelm
ingly, defeated 'yesterday, but upon the
first roil' call 30 senators voted for the
amendment, with four absent who may
have supported it. - . , -.
Senator Lodge, Republican leader, said
the vote "delighted hint,", and added;
"It showed that we have otie vote more
than the 33 required to reject the treaty
unless it la. made safe by the adoption
of- stronir reservationa . -w,-:
Administration leaders took a airrer-
ent view.
"The voting proves," said Senator
Hitchcock, "that the big majority of the
senate Is heartily opposed to the efforts
of a bellicerent partisan minority' to
destroy the treaty. 'All of our forecasts
concerning the defeat . of amendments
by overwhelming' majorities were home
out ana . tne voung ; enouia mvo- jiw
doubt in-anyone's mind , that all other
amendments will be aa decisively re
jected. It was a clean cut victory.',
SHAJtTTJWO AMEJnWEJfT IfEXT -
The - next amendment to be reported
will be that on Shantung, which is' six
amendments in one.
Following that, - another Fall amend
ment, "that relating to the action of the
American . member of the . reparations
commission, win come up. Senate lead-"
ers said they believe a vote may . be
reached op Shantung late next fnreek. .
. Senators who analyzed yesterday's
votes on the. Fall proposals found that1
the vote on the first amendment of a
series of 36, eliminating tho United
States from membership on the Bel
gian boundary . commission, gave the
best indication of how the senate stands:
" Oa that amendment. S3 1 voted- tux of
