SIGNING TO BE DELAYED
INTO JUNE IS PROSPECT
Three Possibilities Open To
German Diplomats In Con
nection With Negotiatons At
Versailles.
By Fred 8. Ferguson
( I'nilcA Press Stuff Correspondent.)
Paris, Wuy 20. The German pence
delegation hns received its final instruc
tions regarding the trenty, it was be
lieved today. aJK
Foreign Minister Broekdorff Kantzuu
returned to Versailles from Spa yes
terday with a define policy, according
to roliuUle information. Just what
transpired at the Spa conference is, of
course, a mystery. It seemed, however,
certain that the Germans will do ona
of three things sign with as littlo fuss
as possible; sign after some of the pres
ent delegates, have resigned to "suve
their ftices," or refuse to sign at all.
The. general opinion appears to bo that
Hrockdorff-Rantzuu whs told to sign,
Most of the allied delegates aro now
beginning to doulit thut the German
treaty will be signed before the first
of June. Koine even believe it is pos
sible the ceremony may not take place
before the middle of next month. Broek
dorff Knntzau is expected to hand in
voluminous c6unter proposals Thursday,
at the expiration of the time limit for
such action.
In the face of the circumstances in
which the Germans must accept the
terms or place their necks in the noose
of an economic blockade appear violent
objections to the treaty, voiced by
President. Ebcrt, Chancellor Hchoide
inaiiH and the German press, which mi'.y
act as a bommerang.
The allies do not show any indication
of softening the terms in the slightest
decree, Broekdorff linntznu lias not at
tained the (lightest advantage in any of
the objections lie has raised to the
treaty. According to authoritative in
formation, the re pi v to the Germans '
objections to the economic clauses of
the treaty expected to be published to
day will point out that while it is true
Germany has developed from an tui-
iuii into an industrial country, her in
dustrial proihictj can be exchanged for
ngiiculttirul products of oilier countries.

Washington, May 20. President Wil
son 'a message to congress follows:
Gentlemen of the Congress: I deeply
regret my inability to bo present at tie
opening of the extraordinary session of
congress. It still seems to be mv duty
fc'Jo take part in th counsels of the peace
rjuerence ana contribute what 1 can to
"milla vi me lunuuieru-oie qucs

V ItenlC. .1
- -, unu, .vi uivj are questions
VV effect the peace of the whole
wo. and from, them, taereioro, iuo
I'nited States cannot stand apart. I
deemed it my duty to call congress to
gether at this time because it was not
wise to postpone longor the provisions
which must be made for the. support of
the government.. Many of tho appro
priations which are absolutely necessary
for the maintenance, of the government
and the fulfillment of its various obli
gation for the fiscal year 1919-1920
have not yet been made; the end of the
present fiscal year is at hand, and ac
toin upon these appropriations can no
longer be prudently delayed. It is nec
essary, thercforo, that I should imme
diately call your attention to this criti
cal need. It is hardly necessary for me
to urge that it may receive your prompt
r.tfention.
To Make Personal Address.
I shall take the liberty of addressing
you on my return on the subjects wmrn
have most engrossed onr attention and
the attention of the world during these
Inst auxious months, since the armistice
of last November was signed, the inter
national settlements which must form
the subject matter of the present trea
ties of peace and of our national action
in the immediate future. It would be
premature to discuss them or to express
judgment about them before they are
brought to their complete formulation
by the agreements which are now being
sought at the table of the tonl'eretice.
t shall hope tu lay them before you iu
their many aspects so soon as arrange
ments have boen reached.
I hesitate to venture any opinion or
press any recommendation with regard
to domestic legislation while absent
from the I'nited States and out of daily
touch with intimate sources of informa
tion and counsel. I am conscious that
I need, after so long an absenco from
Washington, to seek the advice of those
who have remained in constant touch
with domestic problems and who have
known them close at hand from day to
day; and I trust that It will very soon
be possible for me to do so. But there
are several questions pressing for con
sideration to which I feel that 1 may,
and, indeed, must even now direct at
tention, if only in general terms. In
spenking of them I shall, I dare say,
be doiag little more than speak your
own thoughts. I hope that I shall speak
your own judgment also.
Labor First Problem.
The question which stands -ot tho
front of all others in every country
amidst the present greut awakening is
the question of labor; and perheps I can
speak of it with as great advantage
while engrossed in the consinerucion oi
interests which affect all countries uliko
as I could at home and amidst the in
terests which naturally most affect my
thought because they are the interests
of our own people.
hv the question of labor, I do not
mean the question of efficient indus
trial production, the question of how la
Iwir Is to be obtained nnd made effective
in the great process of sustaining pnpu
lnti;::s aad winning success amidat com
mercial and industrial rivalries. I mean
that much greater and more vital ques
tion, how are the men and women who
do the daily labor of the world to ob
tain progressive improvement in the
conditions of their labor, to be made
happier and to be served better by tne
communities and the industries which
their lnbor sustains and advances. How
are th"y to be given their right advan
tage as citieas and hnninn beiogs?
Calls for Halt
We cannot go anv further iu our pres
ent direction. Wc have already gone
too far. We cannot live our right life
as s nation or achieve our proper suc
cess as an industrial community if cap!
tnl and labor are to continue to be an
tagonistic instead of being partners; if
ther are to continne to distrust one an
other and contrive how they can get the
better of one another.
Or. what perhaps amounts to the same
thing, calculate by what form and de
gree of coercion thev can manage to ex
tort, on the one hand, work enough to
make enterprise profitable, on the other
justice aad fair treatment enough to
make life tolerable. That lmd rotd has
turned out a blind alley. It is no thor
oughfare to real prospcri'Y- Ve must
find another leading in atlother direc
tion and to a very different destina
tion. It must lead not merely to aceo
datinn but also to a- genuine ro-opcrn-
tion and partnership based upon a real
P PR
I ii m
tive and manifest only ia a new or
ganisation or industry. The genius of
our business men and the sound practi
cal sense of our workers can certainly
work such a partnership out when once
they realise exactly what it is that they
seek and sincerely adopt common pur
pose witu regara to a.
Labor legislation lies, of course, chief
ly with the states; but the new spirit
and method ot organization which must
be effected are not to be brought about
by legislation so much as by the com
mon counsel and voluntary co-operation
of capitalists, managers and workers.
Legislation can go only a very little
way in commanding what shall be done.
The organization of industry is a mutter
of corxrste and individual initiative
and of practical business arrangement.
Those who realty desire a new relation
ship betweea capital and labor can read-
iily find a way to bring it about; and
I 1 i I i u
prruaps icucrai leginuuion can noiu
more than state legislation could.
Democratization Need.
The object of all reform in this essen
tial matter must be the genuine demo
cratization of industry, based upon a
full recognition of the right of those
who work, iu whatever rank, to partici
pate in some organic way in every de
cision which directly affects their wel
fare or the part they are to play iu
industry. Koine positive legislation is
practical. The congress has already
shown the way to one reform which
should be world-wide, by establishing
the eight-hour day as the standard day
in every field of labor over which it
can exercise control. It has sought to
find the way to prevent child labor,
nud will, I hope and believe, presently
find it. I has served the whole country
(by leading the way ia developing tho
means of preserving and safeguarding
jliieaiid health ia dangerous Industries.
It can flow help in the difficult task of
giving a new form and spirit to indus
trial organization by co-ordinating the
several agencies of conciliation and ad-
lustment which have been brought into
existence by tho difficulties and mis
taken policies of the present manage
ment of industry.and by setting up and
developing new federal agencies of ad
vice and information which may serve
as a clearing house for the best experi
ments, and tho best thought on this
j great matter, upon which every think
ing man must be aware that the future
development of society directly depends.
Agencies of international counsel ano
; suggestion are presently to be created
in connection with the league of nations
in this very field; but it is national ac
ition and the enlightened policy of in
jdividuals, corporations and societies
within each nation that must bring
i bout the actual reforms. The members
jofjhe committee on labor in Ihe'two
I houses will hurdly need suggestions
'from me as lo what means they shall
jsnk to make the federal government
the itgent of the whole nation iu point-
inK vm anii, u aeeu uc, guiuing cue pro-
I cess ot re organization nnd reform.
Work for Bora -era.
j I am sure that It is not necessary for
jme to remind you that there Ms onio im
jmeiliute and very prnctical question of
j labor that we should meet in the mnsi
.liberal spirit. We must see to it that
jour returning soldiers are assisted in ev
joy practical way to find the places for
ivihich they are fitted in the daily wom
of the country. This can be done bv

Repeal War Time
Dry Legislation
Chief Executive's Address Also Requests New Organiza
tion of Industry To Benefit Labor And Promises Earty
Return Of Railroads, As Well As Telegraph And
Phone Lines To Owners. Progressives Launch Labor
Legislation Program At Once.
By Robert J. Bender
(I'nited i'rcvwi staff rarrc-mondent)
Washington, Way 20. Calling for
repeal of amendment of the war time
prohibition act as affecting beem nd
winea, a now organization of industry
to benofit laibor,. and promising early
return to their owners of the railroads
and wire Hues, president Wilson today
sent his mesatige to the new congress.
It was the first time the president
jhas 'been compelled to addres-.i an all-
repubheun congress, and his message,
for the first time since he took office,
was read in both branches instead of
Hieing delivered in person 'before a
joint session.
It was essentially a lalor message,
stating: at the out-set that this miration
"stands at the front of all other in
every country amidst tho present great
awakening."
Opposition Forestalled
By calling for a "new organization
of industry" iby which workers may
have the opportunity for a "genuine
partnership'' and "pnrtlclpaiuon In
control with capital, the president,
it is held, directly sponsors the slogan
today of so called liberal, labor and
progressive elements in all count! lea.
Politicians here saw the deepest sig
nificance .in the president's stand in
connection with the next campaign.
.Senators Borah and Kenyon of the
"progressive" group in the senate,
have recently spoken iu support of
new and greater consideration of labor
Tho president point out that the
change must come largely through vol
untary and cooperative means .between
labor and capital; that "legislation
can get only a very littlo wny ia com
manding what shall lie done. "
Message la General
For the most part the message was
