It is. a know n fact that whila the shopmen's strike was in progress and the mill dpertmnts shut down throwing thousands of men out of employment, many cf the departments could have been operated in the subsidiary plants, had the steel company officials so wished, but!t is said "that they shut down to give the workers a taste cf what a strike would be like." It is also a known fact. that, should the steel company wish to say "no" to tha steel and iron worker", they are in a ycfiticn to close up shop and 'old out for months if it became necessary.

Hal Toung, superintendent of mails at the Hammond post office, aa pretty blue this morning and his wife shared his sadness when after visiting the garage he found that "Betty" was gone. Betty is the Chevrolet roadster which they use in traveling from their home on Burnham ave.. West Haromond. During the night someone had entered the garage and very quietly lead her away. Tracks on the new cinder drive made it easy to trace her part way, but they never expected to see Betty again. Th5 fog was thick when Mr. Toung sorrowfully started for the post office on foot. He had gone only a short distance before he stumbled over the little roadster right in the middle of the road. It is thought that on account of the fog the thief gave up the Idea of driving the car away. The Youngs are happy once more. WOBBLIES BLAMED (INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE! CHICAGO. Aug. 19.

CONFERENCE OCCURS IN BIG EAST ROOM (Continued from page one.) would like to have the mooted sections or the treaty taken up paragraph by para graph. Senator Lodge took up the league of ration covenant and asked President Wilson directly whether the "Genesis" of the constitution was. not the plan prepared by Oeneral Smuts of the British peace commission. To this the president replied: "Tes." Amplifying his straight reply, the president said that when he reached Paris he found that the British had the Smuts plan and were for the most part In favor of It. After being furnished with a copy of the Smuts plan the president found that in many respects it followed out the lines of his own thoughts. He then wrote out amplifications of many of the provisions of the original document and suggested radical amendments thereto. By carrying out this procedure and securing the viewpoint of other peace conference delegates who had made a study of league problems, the completed document was finally arrived at. Senator Lodge then precipitated discussion on the effect that textual amendments, reservations and interpretations would have. He told the president that a great many members of the senate believed that action of this sort was necessary. The president replied that he believed that exactly as he had told the committee in his formal statement, that only such interpretations would be made as could be adopted independent of the formal resolution of ratification. He emphasized his own belief that any such reservations which brought about textual changes in the treaty would imperil the document as there was no way of determining what action would be taken by the powers signatory to the document, especially Germany, if it again had to be submitted to them. The rroblems of international law as they affected the covenant and the treaty as a hole were discussed as a development of this explanation. Senators McCumber of NorfTt Dakota; Harding of Ohio, and Borah of Idaho leading. Borah and the president had an extended argumentative discussion regarding Article X. Senator Borah told the president frankly that in his opinion the Obligation under it was in every way legal, and if this obligation were mtt it must be met in that way. "That is not my opinion. " aaid the president. "I would not so interpret the wording of that article. Under this provision our attitude is entirely one Of comradeship and prctection as it is among all the members of the league." "Milano" Library Table Phonograph Made in Hammond.
