BARKING COMMAND BY VICE PRESIDENT STOPS Demonstration Starts After Speech Against League By Senator Walsh DEMOCRATS FORCE VOTE -ON THE REPUBLICANS J Massachusetts Senator Speaks Eloquently in Opposition To Article Ten of League Cove nant; Senators France and Nelson, Both Republicans, Support League Washington, Oct. 9. A quick barking command from Vice-President Marshall at the conclusion "late today tit a dra matic appeal, by Senator Walsh, Demo crat, of Massachusetts, for a Leagqeof Nations that would do justice to op pressed nations of the world and for reservations to the pending Lcaguo.eov enant broke up in. its very beginning a demonstration that threatened for a moment to sweep through the Senate galleries.

Applaase Quickly Stops. But it was as quickly subdued. The strident voiee of the Vice-President was heard above the rising din. ; "Bemove from the g;.lltries those who have violated the rules of the Senate," the Vice-President shouted, at which gallery guards, apparently bewildered, endeavored to suppress the growing de sire of many- persona to make known their approval of the Massachusetts Senator views with hands and feet. In 4h confusion which spread to the floor, the crowds began to move away, and a few offenders, whoso ronduct waa noted by the guards were hustled out. - j The regulation, motion to Ldjourr was held up after Republican Leader Lodge had made it, the Vice-President explain ing that, he wanted .to find out first what the Senate was gonig t do about the violation of Us standing rules against applause.

The speech of Senator Walsh .the third of the day, drew a large attend ance and because of he uncertainty as to where he stood, he received undivided attention. He quickly cleared away all doubt, however, and frankly announced his regret at parting with his Democratic colleagues in voting for treaty reserva tions, and in So doing declared he -was not breaking away' from his nartv rrin- eiples. Contending that nndcr article ten American soldiers could be ordered to any part of the world by the league couneil, Senator Walsh turned to Sen ators on his own side of the chamber nnrt naked: "May I not fairly urge (hat fhis, article is capable of so many interpre tations, vague nad visionary .that as it stands it is pregnant with the germs of dispute, misunderstandings, and pos sible war for the United-States!"

The proposals included: , Arbitration of the nation-wide steel strike with return of tha men to work pending settlement; an industrial truce storting -immediately and continuing three months; ereatinn of an arbitration hoard by the I'reVdent and Congress the various industries.

Chad bourne, a representative of the public, providing that a committee consisting of, three members from each of the groups of Employers, Ijibor and the Public bo appointed to investigate the high cost of living. The proposal for settlement of-tho steel strike, introduced by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and one of the delegates, soon after the conference met in the first of the day's two sessions. came as a surprise to the groups repre senting the Public and the Eumlnv.r. in offering The proposal Mr. Gompers explained that it had the support of the labor de-h-gates, including the repre sentatives of the railroad brotherhood.

It was drafted by eteeretary or Labor Wilson and was un derstood to have been endorsed by President Wilson. ' Probably Fake Recess. Speaking for the Employers arroun. which put forward no plans today, Chairman Harry A.

Nearly everything possible happcneuV including a eomie four run rally by the athletes in the pale hosiery, It never would hav happened just a it did if the sun had not entered the lists and blinded the visiting fielders. It was all the funnier for the reason that the Sox were nine run behind at the time. The Reds after dropping two games on their own grounds on the banks of tho Ohio, permitting the 8ox to get back in the running, for the big emblem,' started after the deciding game at the outset. They descended on Claud Williams' left-handed offering with determination which sent hiin into se clusion before the third man was out and Bill James, who hurls from th other side, was trotted out. Three runs were scored off Williams and one ofit Jumes.
