was stated authoritatively here ivt'-sy.
Action by the president, it was stated,

Official Action Expected.
Washington, June 9. (United 1'iess.)
Some official action to forestall the
threatened strike of telegraph and tele
phone workers scheduled for Wednes
day was expected here today.
PrcsiuVrtt Wilson, according to Whito
House officials, has been fully Informed
of the facts in the strike. There is no

Officials of the Washington union to-
duy declared that telegraph, business
will be completely tied up hero it the
strike goes into effect on Wednesday,
despite the fact that the locals here
and in New fork admitted to be among
the weukest in the countrv.
A tieup of business here would serl-

The prospect that the Btrike may tie

Separate Peace Proposal
Bobs Up In Senate; Race
To Ratify Treaty For seen
Washington, June 9. (United IVess)
rtHepubliean leaders in the senate are
- is; aeriuus thought to ths possibili
t s separate peace between the
Jitate and Oermany.
h none of them would voice
vir, today for publication, it eaa be
stated that they are fully aware that
one result of senate opposition to the
league o f nations covenant, and the
treaty m&y be a separate peaec. .
They foresee an attempt to create a
"race" between allied nations and the
senate to ratify allied nations and the
eifically provides that it shall become
valid when ratified by three of the al
lied or associated powers. That is, jf
England, France and Italy all bound
not to make separate peace should
ratify the treaty before the senate does,
it would end the war ao far as those- na
tions are concerned and allow them at
once to resume commercial relations
with Germa-ny.
Would Handicap U. 8.
The TJuited States, however, an tho
senators view it, would bo left With a
state of war with Germany still in ex
istence and tho other nations given a
head start on resumption of business
dealings.
That this possibly will be emphasized
to the senate, republican senators have
ao doubt. They are not disturbed by
it, however, declaring they seo no ca
lamity in it.
Congress declared war on Germany,
and can quite as easily declare the war
ended, in these senators opiniou. Then
by a separate treaty of amity of com
merce, relations could be resumed. I

Okanogan, Wash., July 9. Dudley M.
Storrs was sentenced to fivo yems iu

the maximum penalty for tho seduction
of his wife's slayer, Kuth Garrison
when he appeared before Judge John 6.
Jurey shortly before noon today.
Storrs received the verdict with flush
ed face in marked contrast to his nsuul
paleness during the trial. Prior to sen
tence being imposed by Juilg.' Jurey,
Storrs counsel, V. D. Smith, argued for
two and a half hours on a motion for
a new trial aivd on a second motiou for
an arrest of judgment and on a third
motion that the verdict was not sus
tained by the evidence.
"The keynote of this case revolved
around the indisputable fact that
Storrs' counsel urged Judge Jurcy to
alter the sentence to read ''Moiiioe re
formatory," instead of "pcn;tentinry
at Walla Walla" but the court refused
to change its original sentence.
After the sentence Storrs nuulc the
following statement.
"I said last night that Judge Jurey

he ran true to form."
Ruth Garrison was taken from hei

One-Third Of Oregon Crop
Pished To Organization
Of rruitmen Now Fermin
Toitland, Or., June 9.-Oue
hundred delegates representing
all the fruit growers orgauiu-
tions of Oregon are in session
here todxy with the porpote of
forming a permanent ineorpoia-
tion.
R. C. Paulus, general maaak' i
of the Salem Fruit Union, is pre-
aiding as temporary chairman.
It is planned to amalgamate
all frnit growers' associations of
the state into one large organi-
cation which would handle all
Oregon fruit products under one
brand, eliminating excesaive
overhead expenses, etc.
It was stated at today 'a meet-
ing that more than one third of
the entire Oregon fruit crop
had been pledged for the a mho-
eiation before today's meeting,
and that business totaling t'),-
0O0.000 ia in sight for next yea.
TEOEH WINS SHOOT
Los Angeles, CaL, June 9. Trask M.
Troeh of Vancoover, Wah., won the
three-day Vernon gun club trap khoot
which cloned with yesterday's events.
He scored 5i out of a pwible 600,
besting Fred Bair of Eureka, by one
bird.
The great advantage af this course, as
theee senators see. it, w that it would
Wave the l' uitcd rltate fre of on
tangling Kuropemja alliances. Since the
United btates does not share and ha
no desire to share in the territorial or
money gains of the allies, tbeie U no
reason, in the belief of some republicans
why a treaty settling just America's
quarrel with G arm any should not be
drawn up.
Other Delays Expected.
This course would defeat American
participation ia the league of nations,
unless the senate, voting on it separate
ly from the treaty now being completed
should agree to join the allies in form
inge it, they hold.
Whether they are willing to go to
this length to defeat the loague, these
republican senators declined at this
time to say, though they are ail hostile
to the league. If they should adopt
this course, it w&a pointed out, a filibus
ter until threa. other powers have rati
fied the trenty would be all that would
bo needed. However, some senators be
lieve ratification will not be immediate
ia smite of the allied countries lu all
but England, they sai4, the treaty must
be submitted to the legislative body,
though in nono does its ratification car
ry the weight the senate's does. Even
in Knglnud where tho crown is not
obliged to submit treaties, it has been
announced the present trenty is to be
laid before the house of commons. Dis
satisfaction is bound to cause consider
able debate in all the freign euntries,
senators believe, thus justifying the de
liberate course they intend to pursue
here.

Endorsement of League an d
Peace Treaty in Resolution
Atlaatk City, N. J., Jus 9. (tnited J

gives the pea trvaty and league of lift-
hobs covenant oy tae executive coin-,
, j t
aaitee of the American Federation ofl
Labor in its report, submitted to the
annual federation convention, opening
here today.
The basie principles of ft hating peace
are in the treaty, the report says, and
adds that with peace so buiit "the
world ha in truth been made aie for
democracy."
The covenant of the league of na
tions, the report continues, "must meet
with the unqualified approval and sup
port of the American working people.
It is not ft perfect document and per
fection la not claimed for it. it does,
however, mark the nearest approach to
perfection that has ever been reported
iu international affairs of mankind.
"W declare our endorsement oi the
triumphs of freedom and justice and de
niocrary as exemplified in the covenant
of the league of nations."
Discussing the peace treaty s a whole
the report states: .
Labor Clauses Endorsed.
"The introduction of nine specific
labor clauses in the peace treaty de
clares that the 1 well being, physical
and mora) of the industrial wage earn
ers ia of supremo lutcrnational import
ance.'
"No auch declaration has ever been
written into international law througn
any previous treaty of peaeo and it is
due to the efforts of American inbor
more thanto any other single factor
that it apcars in this emphatic form In
the present trenty."
The report reviews the Pun-American
labor conference held at lireiio, Texns,
in November.
A long reconstruction program vailed
tho "most complete and most construc
tive yet made in this country" is Set
forth in the report.
Tho measures muking up tho program
are:
Democracy in industry.
The report declures it essential that
workers should i iiaist upon their right
to organize into trade unions; that leg
islation should -be parsed waking it a
criminal offense for 'employers to at
uttempt to interfere with the rights.
Unemployment,- '
Unemployment, the report kbvs, ie
caused by under-consumptloa, which, la
turn, is caused by low wages.
Wages.
Afler declaring that there is no meth
od of obtaining just wages except
through the trade union movement, the
report ssys:
"The workers of the nution ilcnaml
a living wage for all wage earners,
skilled or iukilled a wage thrtt will
permit the workers and his family to
live ia health and comfort."
Hours.
The report reiterates the deinui.il for
an eight hour day with overtime pro
hibited except in emergencies.
Women in Industry.
Women, the report ays, should re
ceive the same pay at men for equal
work performed and must not be per
