Proposal Embodied ih Ratifi
cation Resolution, Which
j . v Would Become Part

any. provision in ine saia xrcaty
contained.
The seven republican who agreed
to this proposal as a basis for the
effort to bring on a middle ground
senators of both parties who favor
the league plan in general outline,
were Senators McNary, Oregon;
McCumber. North Dakota; Colt,
Rhode Island; Spencer, Missouri;
Cummins, Iowa; Kellogg, Minne-
Mt became known tonight . .hat the
proposed resolution had not been
presented- either to Republican
Leader Lodge or to Senator Hitch
cock, administration leader in tne
treaty fight, and that the efforts of
the group sponsoring tjie plan prob
ably, would be directed for the pres
ent toward enlarging their number
,in order to hold indisputably the
balance of power. Negotiations with
administration leader along the
general line lata oown in me reso
lution have been in progress, how
ever, for several lays.
Although the McCumbar-McNary
reservation program held the center
of interest in discussions among
senators during the day, several
other angles of the treaty contro
versy came to the surface in the sen
ate and at a public hearing of the
foreign relations committee.
President Wilson submitted a
short protocol to the Versailles
treaty containing a number of sup
plementary provisions and Chair
man Lodge put into the record an
agreement hitherto unpublished in
this country, in which Mr. Wilson,
Premier Clemenceau and Lloyd
George had embodied certain regu
lations for the government of the
Rhine provinces. Mr. Lodge also
presented a copy of the treaty be
tween the "big five" powers and Po
land, not yet submitted to the sen
ate for ratification. The only ad
dress in the senate regarding the
Versailles treaty was by Senator
Fall, republican, New Mexico, who
opposed the league and criticised
President Wilson for his course in
the Versailles negotiations.
Before the Foreign Relations
committee, Bernard M. Baruch,
economic adviser to the American
peace delegation, replied to a num
ber of questions regarding repara
tion sections of the treaty. He said
he doubted whether Germany ever
could pay the amount of indemnity
that would be assessed against her,
Senator Watson, Indiana, was the
only republican senator who saw
President Wilson during the day and
afterward he said-there had been a
very pleasant discussion of the
treaty, including the league of na
tions and the Shantung issue. His
views on these subjects, he said,
were not changed by the conference.
Postmaster Appointed.
Washington, Aug. 1. (Special
Telegram.) A. T. Reams has been
appointed postmaster at Naponce,
Franklin county, Neb., vice R. L.

CHICAGO RIOTS
ARE DECLARED
TO BE AT AN END
State and City Officials Fear
No New Outbreak Death
List Reaches 32300
Injured.
Chicago, Aug. l.-j-With state
troops in'full control 'In the "black
belt of Chicago, the riotinfe tjiat has
terrorized that section for tour days
and nights was pronounced by state
and city officials "at an end" today.
The total dead since the fight at the
Twenty-ninth street batning beach
on Sunday, the inception of the race
riot, which resulted in the drowning
of a negro lad, is 3218 negroes and
14 whites. The total of the injured
has not been officially tabulated, but
is known to be more than 300, and
may exceed 500.
Adjutant General Dickson said to
day that the situation was well in
hand and that while the embers of
race hatred were doubtless still
smouldering, he feared no further
outbreak. During the night several
calls were made for troops at points
within the zone and in some in
stances shots were fired, but quick
responses to the summons led to
suppression of the altercations. The
night developed no serious disorders.
State Federation of
Labor to Convene in
Omaha Next Tuesday
The twelfth annual convention of
the Nebraska State Federation of
Labor will convene at the Labor
temple at 10 a. m. next Tuesday, it
was announced by T. P. Reynolds,
president of the federation, last
night. The convention will be in
session for four days. More than
ISO delegates are expectel. Prob
lems affecting the organized worker
will be discussed and remedies sug
gests. Profiteering and the state
constitutional convention will be
especially considered.
Practically every labor organiza
tion i-i the state will be represented
and in addition the Farmers' Co
operative union, Farmers' Grange
and the Non-Partisan league will
send delegates.
T. V. McCullough, associate edi
tor of The Bee, will deliver the ad
dress of -welcome. Repoi's will be
read by President Reynolds and
Frank M. Coffey, secretary of the
federation.
Ths executive board of the state
federation will be in conference the
entire day, Monday, to perfect plans
for the meeting and to discuss sub
jects which will probably be brought
Up for consideration by the dele
gates. Taussig: Quits Job.
Washington, Aug. 1. The! resig
nation of F. W. Taussig as chair
man of the United States Tariff
commission, was accepted today by
President Wilson.
WILSON GIVEN
POWER TO CALL
LABOR MEETING
Senate Authorizes President to
Call First International
Conference.
Washington, Aug. 1. So that the
first meeting of the international
labor conference created by the Ver
sailles treaty may be held in Wash
ington next October, regardless of
whether the treaty is ratified, the
senate unanimously adopted, a joint
resolution authorizing the president
to call such a meeting, but giving
no authority for American repre
sentation "unless and until" the
treaty's ratification has been ac
complished. The action was taken after Sec
retary Wilson of the Labor depart
ment had told the foreign relations
committee that even if the treaty
were rejected here, its acceptance
by other powers would validate the
request it contains that the presi
dent call the first conference to
meet here in October. He said un
der existing law the executive was
without authority to act and that
it was necessary to begin prepara
tions scon, as more than a score of
nations already had signified their
intention to be represented.
In committee the resolution intro
duced by Senator Kenyon, republi
can, Iowa, was stripped of all refer
ence to the fact that the conference
was created under the treaty, the
authorization as finally framed
merely referring to "an international
labor conference". Unanimous con
sent for consideration of the meas
ure in the senate was secured only
after Chairman Lodge had assured
treaty opponents that action in the
matter could have "no effect what
ever" toward giving assent to the
treaty.
Action on the resolution by the
housj is necessary before the presi
dent's authority is complete.

Special Session Call
Refused by Governor
(Continued from Face One.)
purpose of acting upon the equal
suffrage amendment to the federal
constitution, I then wrote another
letter to the members, in which I
asked them to advise me of any
other legislation which they thought
should be included in the call. In
respons. to that specific request,
there were only two who mentioned
profiteering.
tven to the unsophisticated it
must seem passing strange that this
subject should appear so momentous
now after having been so recently
ignored.
Profiteering Federal Problem.
"Third Profiteering is the result,
largely, of combinations and agree
ments that are made in connection
with interstate commerce and is a
I matter in which the federal govern
ment should be the first to act.
"Fourth Many of the evils of
profiteering are matters for er -11-omic
remedy. At its last regular
session the legislature enacted more
laws bearing upon the subject of co
operation than any session that pre
ceded it, and it is through this chan
nel that much relief will be brought
in lowering the cost of the essential
commodities of life.
"Fifth The state administration
some time ago prepared a plan of
Frocedure for handling this matter,
n conference with the attorney gen
eral it has been planned that investi
gations will be made under the laws
that are already upon the statute
books, relating to combinations in
restraint of trade. This section has
been delayed, pending the decision
of the courts with reference to the
referendum against the Code bill,
for under that legislation we shall
be given wider powers of investi
gation and better 'remedies are af
forded. "Not a great deal has been said
about our plans, for the purpose of
our action shall not be merely po
litical. I have no patience with
those investigations and prosecu
tions which set the public mind in
a turmoil and tend to perpetuate a
condition of distrust and unrest,
without producing results.
"I am not surprised when a poli
tical demagogue gives vent to
empty mouthings upon this subject,
for it is a subject that appeals very
strongly to such ones. But 1 am
surprised at the action of your hon
orable body, which, in such matters
has shown a very commendable de
gree of good judgment in the past.
"Probably had you been aware of
some of the facta which I have
herein enumerated, you might have
better understood why I deem it im
practical to call another special ses
sion, and I may add that this infor
mation could have been had at any
time for the asking."
Resolution on Mooney Will
Go Before City Council
A resolution requesting President
Wilson to again intervene in behalf
of Thomas J. ftfooney and force the
courts of California to grant him a
new trial, has been passed by the
.Sioux City council, according to P.
J. Wittig. member of the Workers'
Defense league, who is in the city
to arouse interest in the Mooney
ease.
The resolution recites that the
Mooney case is contributing to the
present unrest in the country.
The resolution will be presented
to the Omaha city council for ap
proval next week.
Police on Guard While
Woman Socialist Talks
Police were on guard at the open
air socialist meeting in Jefferson
square while Ella Reeve Bloor ad
dressed several hundred persons last
night, but did not interfere.
Mrs. Bloor talked for two hours.
She declared that workers always
lost when they arbitrated, and ad
vocated strikes as the only means of
defeating "solidlv organized capital."
She urged political as well as in
dustrial organization, declaring that
a soviet government in this country
would be of benefit to the laboring
class, and labeled the conviction of
Mooney a conspiracy,

Problem of Railroads
(Continued From Face One.)
half-year net income was less than
1 per cent on the $18,000,000,000 of
railroad property taken over by the
government. Director General
Hines declared the falling off in
freight business continued(to be an
important factor in the deficit, com
bined with increases in rates, which
have been on a much lower percent
age than increases in wages and
prices of materials.
The bureau of railway economies
made public figures showing that
revenues in the first six months of
this year amounted to $2,352,949,000
as compared with $1,665,151,000 for
the same length of time during the
test period, an increase of 41 per
cent. Net operating income, how
ever, has been about 60 per cent
less, due to increases of 78 per cent
in expenses and 12 per cent in
taxes. 1
In the face of the growing deficit,
the railroad administration now hat
before it demands for increased
wages, which would mean an addi
tion of between $800,000,000 and
$1,000,0110,000 to the payrolls.
Director General Hines favors a
commission to regulate wages.
