LENOIR NEWS-TOPIC, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1919 Page Sevan PEACE -TREATY AND THE STEEL STRIKE ENGROSS CONGRESS The German peace treaty and the steel strike remain the engrossing af fairs of Congress this week. Prospects of a vota before Satur day on the amendments to the treaty, proposed by Senator Fall, Republi can, of New Mexico, and providing for elimination of virtually all Amer ican representation on international commissions, together with President Wilson's return to the capital, is ex pected to bring to a head the vital issues in the treaty contest. Industrial unrest, emphasized by the steel strike, will share attention in the Senate with the peace treaty. Hearings in the labor committee's in vestigation of the steel strike were resumed Wednesday, when Chairman Gary of the United States Steel Cor poration is to give capital's side of the controversy. Later the commit tee plans to hear Secretary William Z. Foster of the strike committee and other witnesses, and it would not sur prise many observers if efforts to bring about intervention by President Wilson would be made. While the Senate is engaged with the treaty and industrial problems the House is engaged on minor bills, with early agreements by conferees in prospect on three bills prohibition enforcement, food profiteering and restoring pre-war rate making au thority of the interstate commerce commission it is expected the re ports will be adopted this week and the measures sent to the WThite House. In the treaty controversy the Fall amendments technically have right of way until a final vote. Considera tion of the amendments, however, promises to be subordinate in inter est to under-surface negotiations on the question of reservations. If President Wilson's physical condition permits several Democratic leaders plan to confer with him early in the week as to a decision dealing with reservations. Besides the "mild" and "strong" Republican reservations, a program of reservations will be pro posed by Senator Smith, Demcorat, of Georgia. Whether President Wilson will con tinue the fight against all reserva tions, "mild" or "strong," interpreta tive or definitive, or will make known a diposition to accept ratification of the treaty with some sort of reserva tions, may be decided this week, it is believed in both Democratic and Re publican quarters. STEEL WORKERS OF COUNTRY GO ON STRIKE MONDAY At the end of the opening day of the economic war between organized labor and the greater part of the iron and steel industry of the country both sides were apparently satisfied with reports received from the far flung battle line, reaching into 20 states and affecting directly or indi rectly half a million workers. After the first test of strength industrial leaders and commanders and labor'? legions were willing to admit that they faced a struggle which might prove long and bitter. Grim evidence of preparations made for the industrial conflict were seen in the armed guards surround ing all the mills, but the first day of the strike ended with no signs of se rious disorder except in New Castle, Pa., where seven persons were shot in rioting following an alleged attempt to prevent workers from entering a plant. From strike headquarters in Pitts burg came claims that 284. 000 men had taken their places in the ranks of the strikers, but although no statement was forthcoming from the steel corporation's headquarters in New York, company officials in the zone of action hastened to challenge the estimate of labor leaders. The steel corporation, against which the main offensive is directed, was able to operate most of its plants in the Pittsburgh district, according to company officials. In the Chicago steel center some of the largest plants were forced to close down, but others operated on a reduced scale. Congress intervened in the steel strike Tuesday by directing the Sen ate labor committee to institute an immediate investigation to ascertain "if the situation can in any way be relieved by Federal action. The in quiry began yesterday, when repre sentatives of the strikers were heard. Later Chairman Gary of the United States Steel Corporation, President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor and other spokesmen for both capital and labor will appear.

"I suffered for about eighteen months from nervous prostration," she continued, "and kept getting worse in spite of all I could do. I had no appetite anft jfter eating anything my stomach would burn like fire. I would turn cold one minute and hot the next, and I was so nervous I could hardly sleep at all, and lost sixty pounds. "After trying several different medicines without getting relief my brother got me a bottle of Tanlac and I started taking it. By the time I had finished my second bottle my appeitte began to improve and my other troubles were greatly relieved. That burning sensation has disap peared from my stomach, the ner vousness is gone, I sleep like a child and I have gained twenty-five pounds in weight." All druggists sell Tanlac. WILSON SAYS ONE RESERVA TION TO TREATY IS REJECTION President Wilson has ait last told the country what he would do if the Senate insisted upon changing the meaning of the treaty by means of "reservations," writes David Law rence, who was a special correspond ent on President Wilson's train, to the Greensboro News. He did not in his speech at Cheyenne say he would regard all reservations as a disap proval of the treaty of peace, but he went definitely on record as saying he would be obliged to regard the Lodge reservations on article X as a rejection of the treaty, which means, he added, the necessity of ngotiating a separate peace with Germany, as the other powers, Mr. Wilson de clares will soon have ratified the pres ent treaty and put it into operation.
