Peplaufn, addressing an assembly of Zemetvo representatives, as having said: The situation at the front is not as critical as before, though still is serious.

Democratic leaders conferred informally on amendments and reservations and stated privately they accepted an almost solid democratic vote against all amendments and enough Republican votes to defeat them. On the question of reservations, the democratic leaders today for the first time suggested that a deadlock might result which might have to be settled by negotiations. These democratic spokesmen claimed 40 or 41 democrats solid against any reservations. Conceding that reservations in some form may be adopted by a majority vote of the Republicans and a few Democrats, the Democratic leaders today declared that adoption of the reservations would not settle the question nor end the controversy. They asserted that the majority still would lack the necessary twothirds vote to ratify the treaty and added that, in the absence of a twothirds majority for ratification without the reservations, there will be an opportunity for negotiations.

MACON FIREMEN,

POLICE, REFUSE TO ARBITRATE Volunteer Force Gathered to Replace Strikers Threaten Use of Force. MACON, Ga., Sept. 16. The order of the civil service commission of this city demanding the dissolution of the policemen's and firemen's unions having met with a flat refusal by the men either to obey the order or resign their positions the commission today faced a problem in its determination to enforce the order. Members of the firemen's union declared in reply to the order that "only guns would put them out," while the decree was hooted by the police when read to them. The dissolution order was issued by the commission in compliance with a demand made by Macon citizens in mass meeting yesterday at which the civil service commissioners were giv ing the alternative of immediate resignation. Soldirs Assemble. Immediately upon refusal of the men to obey the order more than two hundred discharged soldiers, who have volunteered to serve as police or firemen in case of emergency, began assembling at the city armories. Warren McWilliams, an ex-service man, who was appointed chief of police Saturday after the former chief had been forced to resign, ordered all members of the policemen's union "to turn in either their union cards or their badges." Fire Chief L. M. Jones, however, who is a member of the firemen's union, has refused to carry out an order that the same demand be made upon the firemen. Textile workers, whose strike of four weeks duration has occasion considerable rioting were expected to return to their jobs today. GOMPERS TO TAKE NO STRIKE ACTION WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. President Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, said today he did not contemplate taking a personal part in either the steel strike situation or Boston police difficulty. "I shall be unable to go to Pittsburgh tomorrow to meet with the beads of unions which are gathering there," he said, "and I have no present intention of going to Boston." Over the telephone Mr. Gompers got a report today of conditions surrounding the Boston police strike, but remarked afterward that "the situation isn't changed."
