WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 14.-
Bitter feeling engendered by the pcace
treaty's Shantung provision got close
to the boiling point again today in
the Senate.
Repeatedly during a five-hour de-
bate on the subject the gavel sounded
to bring order out of a confusing cross-
fire of oratorical projectiles and once
u was ruled that language used had
violated the Senate's rules by imputing
to Senators conduct unworthy and un-
becoming.
The declaration to which formal ob-
ecu on was tak *n was miide by Senator
dcGumber (Republican». North Dakota, in
the ecurso of a heated exchange with
Senator Heed I Democrat >, Missouri, anil
bad to do with charges that Japan was
acting in bad faith in tbe promise of her
statesmen to return Shantung province to
China.
"Japan was our associate in the war,*'
said the North Dakota Senator, "but I
know that now the war practically ha-,
ended, many Senators prefer Id consider
her as our enem.\. Germany seems to be
more of an object- of solicitude than our
friends who helped us defeat Germany.
"If the Senator means that," shouted
Senator Reed. "I want him 40 name the
Senators to whom he refers."
Senator MeCumber retorted that he
would let recent utterances in the Sen-
ate chamber speak for themselves, and
when he declined to yield lo further ques-
tioning by Senator Reed, tile latter ap-
pealed to the chair, declaring loudly while
Seuator McCumber continued his speech,
that tbe language used had beeu unpar-
liamentary.
When he had quieted the disputants,
Senator Mall (Republican). Delaware, tem-
porarily presiding, thumbed through a Sen-
ate rule book while a half dozen other
members tried all at once to get in a word

WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 14.-
The Cabinet met today and prepared
to assume as many as possible of the
activities of President Wilson for the
remainder of the period of,his illness,
and confinement. This means, in short, |
Cabinet operation of the executive j
branches of the Government until the,
President is well enough to resume his'
duties or at least, sufficiently recov-
ered to guide the Cabinet.
Meanwhile, there u;i s no pronounced
change In the President's condition, save
that he passed :t restless night because
of .1 swelling of the prostate eland. The
slight physical suffering Ihls occasioned
was deemed inconsequential in far as
Its bearing on the President's general con-
dition was concerned by Hear Admiral
C'ary T. Urayson, the President's personal
physician, iie said the President's gen-
eral condition was good today.
Action of the Cabinet, however, in pro-
ceeding to take over some of the functions
of the Chief Executive was deemed an In-
dication that the President Would be a sick
man for a long time. It Is believed to be
a question of not weeks, but months be-
fore he will be entirely recovered, and
on this point Ills physicians even declared
he would have to remain confined for an
"extended period."
With Secretary of State Lansing In the
chair, the Cabinet began an allotment of
duties -such as the President would do—
to its Individual members.
Secretary Lansing, of course, will con-
tinue In charge of all foreign matters, and.
indeed, all subjects that are now bundled
by the State Department.
Secretary of War linker tomorrow night
at Cleveland will address the Ohio Stale
Federation of Women's CIuIih on the In-
dustrial situation generally. This engage-
ment Is Important because Mr. llakor Is

WASHINGTON. D. C. Oct. II -Indefi
ite postponement of action on the peace
treaty until the President lias told the
Senate and the country all the facts about
it, was demanded*in 'hp Senate today by
Senator Reed of Missouri.
"The President expects us to decide I he
ease without Riving us all the papers in
the rase." Senator Heed complained. He
insisted that on a matter of such import-
ance to the country the Senate was en-
titled to have all the information requested
by the Foreign Relations Committee which
the President has declined to give.
To Illustrate his point. Senator Ueed in-
formed the Senate that the Austrian treaty,
which the President hits refused to give lo
the Senate,' makes important changes in
the League of Nations covenant as con-
tained in the German treaty, which the
President has demanded the Senate shall
rallty without change. Few, if any. of
the Senators were aware of this, and they
listened with 'lose attention as Senator
Heed continued to enumerate some of the
changes. He said:
J'We have only an unofficial ropy of
the treaty with Austria. Hut from it we
know that it places in control of the allies
the internal affairs of Austria. It Is pro-
vided that questions which may arise iu
these affairs shall lie International ques-
tion!, to be dealt with by the League of
Nations and in the League of Nations to
be referred to the council. In the coun-
cil, they shall b? determined by a major
ity and not by a unanimous vote as in
many other matters. All the nations sig
natory to the treaty agree to accept the
majority decisions. It Is also provided
that no nation may complain of a viola
tlon of tbe treaty terms by Austria unless
the complaining nation be a member of
the council or of the league. So I say
that they are now drafting new provi-
sions which change the Import of the
covenant, and yet we are refused the in-
formation which we require."
Senator Lodge ^.Interpolated the remark
that a similar thing has been done in
the treaty with Poland, which was also
refused by the President, but obtained by
the committee from another source. Among
other documents which have been with-
held from the committee. Senator Lodge
enumerated the process verbal, or record
of the Peace Conference sessions, the re-
port made to the Department of Commerce
on the seizure of Chinese railways by

WASHINGTON. D C. Oct. 14.-~Imme-
dlate steps to avert the threatened Nation-
wide strike of bituminous coal mine work-
ers are to be taken by the Federal Gov-
ernment. After President Wilson's Cabi-
net had discussed the situation today. Sec.
rotary Wilson of the Department of'Labor
announced that he would Invite John L.
Lewis, president of the United Mine Work-
ers of America, and John L. Hrewster. rep-
resenting tha eparators, to confer with him
here, probably Thursday.
While effort* of the miners and operators
•to reach an agreement on the demands of
the workers have failed. Secretary Wilson
is hopeful that some amicable agreement
can he made It Is understood that he will
impress upon both Mr. Lewis and Mr. 1
Brewster the Importance of uninterrupted
operation of the mines. A shutdown of
the mines would result ,in paralysis of
the transportation system within a short, I
time with consequent suffering because of
the shutting off of populous centers from
food. supplies. Industry also would be
brought to a standstill with public utili-
ties stopped and shipping tied up.
President Lewis of the Miner*' Union,
who has been in this city conferring with
other union officials, went to Indianapolis
today to prepare the call for the strike on
November 1. Officials hope the Issuing
of the call will be deferred until after the
conference here. While the Cabinet today
decided to leave the settlement of the
strike with the Department of Labor. It
was regarded as more than likely that if
the conference failed the entire Cabinet
would consider the nexr course.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Oct. 14.- John L.
Lewis, acting president of the United Mine
Workers of America, who returned to
union headquarters here today from the
joint wage conference with the mine op-
erators, when it failed to reach an agree-
ment at Philadelphia, said tonight he would
consider the Invitation of Secretary of La-
hor Wilson to meet him in Washington
Thursday until tomorrow t>efore making a
reply. Meantime the work of drafting the
order calling ail bituminous coal miners to
go on strike on November 1 was being con
tinued at the union headquarters here, ;t
was said.
While work on the strike order was con-
tinued, it probably will not be made public
for a day or two. as It was stated that
nothing would be given out until tbe order
had been, printed and mailed to the 4,000
local unions in the country.
A statement of the position of the miners
was issued from the headquarters today
in which all blame for the crisis facing
the country was place dupon the oi*erators.
the country was placed upon the operators,
"brushed aside all the demands of the
miners like so much chaff" and offered
nothing in their stead except a renewal of
the Washington wage agreement, under
which they now are working and which the
miners declared they were forced to reject
-for the reason that it is Imposlsble for tfc*
'onl miners to make a living under the
Washington agreement"

WASHINGTON, D Cj Oct M Iftei a
heated all-day session devoted almost en-
tirely to discussion of labor's proposal to
arbitrate the steel strike, during whb h
two attempts at postponement and a sub-
stitute resolution by Thomas L Chad-
bourne of the public group, met with tie-
defeat, the National industrial conference
;i • i j on r n • -1 tonight without having taken
other definite action than the appointment
of three subcommittees.
Another attempt to obtain action in the
steel controversy, however, will be made
by members of the public group, headed
by Bernard M. Baruch, through a new
con promise proposal when the conferenct
resumes its aei iona tomorrow,
The labor resolution was laid before the
conference today without recommendation
by the central committee, but with an
amendment proposed in committee by Sam-
uel Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor, providing that the
arbitration committee be chosen bv the
conference groups "from members or non-
members" of the conference In reporting
the resolution. Chairman Chadbourne an-
nounced that, while the resolution was
favored by a majority of the members nf
the cou.mlttee, it had received the negatlv*
vote of two groups, and. therefore, could
not be favorably reported
A substitute resolution offered by Mr.
Chadbourne failed to receive the approval
of any of the three conference groups, al
though it was framed so as to avoid men
tion of the steel strike The substitute
proposed acceptance of Mr. Gompers' com
mltttte of six to adjust all "serious labor
disputes." Its decision to be final, after
an attempt to reconcile differences hail
been made by a Joint committee of em-
ployers and employes. The labor repre-
sentatives would b*\ chosen both by tnos*
"out on strike and those remaining in the
etrploy of the several companies.
The climax of the day's tense sessions
came late in tbe day when Samuel Gom-
pers, leader of the labor delegation, made

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.—Military authorities today continued their instiga-
tion into alleged radical activities in connection with the strike nf steel workers
at Gary, Ind., and questioned several men, Including Anton Gorski, who is slid
to be under surveillance In connection with tbe explosion of a bomb in the
Chicago postoffice in September, J018. Report; of discovery of a widespread
plot against militarv cantonments were denied tonight by Col. W. S. Mlpes,
commanding the Federal Troops at Gary. Report;, that troops were being sent
from the Gary district to protect Government property in various parts ol the
country were also denied by Col, Mares.
Maji Gen. Leonard Wood, commanding the Central Department of the
United States Army, was in conference u ith Col. W. S. Mapes, commander of
the troops at Gary, today. Drastic measures to combat the "red" plots are
said to have been arranged by the military leaders
Col. Mapes announced tonight that no confession had been obtained from
Gorski in regard to the Chicago Federal building bomb plot, but it was in-
timated that Gorski would be a Federal w itness. The Federal officers arc nov
searching for Alexander Ivanoff, Gary steel worker and electrician, who is said
to have been implicated by Gorski as a maker of the 36 bombs which were
sent to prominent men throughout the country in forged wrappings of Gimbet
Bros.' store in New York.
Intelligence officers continued their raids at Garv today in search of
radical literature. They reported finding a quantity of radical propaganda
printed in German, and a large German flag made of silk.
A platoon of Federal troops was stationed near the steel mills in Gary
today after reports had been made that bricks and horseshoes had been hurled
through the windows of the steel plants by striker-.
The strike bulletin issued by the steel workers today disavowed the
proclamation issued yesterday by "Tbe Communist Party of Amenta." calling
on the workingmen to establish a "dictatorship" and wrest control of Gary
from the Federal troops.
Secret service men said they kn.-w the name, habits and manufacturing
methods of the individual who thej claimed has made most of the Gimbel
bombs. They announced also that they had uncovered a plot to assassinate
the mayor of Gary, discovered great stores of dynamite near Gary and traced
the printing of red circular^ to Indianapolis Thc\ said they had arrested the
man who blew up an entrance of the Chicago postoffice a year ago.
House Asked to Restrict
Passports for Radicals
By I niveraal Sendee
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Oct. 14.—Secret diplomatic dispatches telling
of the intensive preparations of European radicals for a grand rush to the
United States when peace is proclaimed were submitted to the House Foreign
Affairs Committee today.
Receipt of this information, in accordance with the other testimony
which the committee previously had heard, was followed by a favorable
report to the House on a bill to continue wartime passport restrictions for
one year after the President issues the peace proclamation
Ambassador John W. Davis, at London, cabled the department that he
»as "tlready aware that the Bolshevist authorities in Russia are acquiring
genuine American passports intending to use them to send their agents to
the united States and elsewhere."
In its recommendation that the bill be passed, the committee says;
"Testimony before the committee indicates that there is a very large
number of aliens in Germany, Rnssia and other unsettled countries who are
planning t# come V the United States at the earliest possible moment.
Many of them, yourcfltnmittee believes, would be undesirable additions to
our population." t
The report quotes Secretary of Slate Lansing as saying the legislation
is necessary on account of the great unrest and disorder throughout Europe.,
which must spread to this country if adequate safeguards are not thrown
around immigration.
Believing that the situation is such as to demand immediate action, the
se vtill be asked to pass th<
to rush it through the Senate.

an unimportant but irritating new com-
plication, President Wilson spent a rest-

While announcement that the President s
rest was being interfered with by a swol-
len prostate gland, it was emphasised by
l»r. Grayson that su. h was not uncommon
and was of little importance save as il
caused some discomfort.
