Ice. a resident of Iowa, were killed I Washington, Sept. • 1*.--An amendiient to the peace treaty providing that the United States Shall hove as many representatives as the British empire in the League of Nations us- -ierabiy was adopted hy the senate foreign relations committee. The vote was 9 to 8. Senator Me- Cumber, Republican, North Dakota, standing with the Democrats against the amendment. The amendment wWtl not- reduce the six votes held by Great Britain and Its dominions, but simply would provide the United States have equal representation. The amendment was the first to be adopted by the committee relating to the league covenant. It was presented' by Senator Johnson, Republican, of California. * The amendment also contains the same provision regarding the league council, the effect of which would be to offset the possibility that Great Britain and one of her dominions might be represented In the council at one time. In the council I here arc to be nine v|nembers, one from each of the five big powers and the other from smaller states to be selected from time to time. ) Under the amendment the following proviso would be inserted in the covenant : "That when any member( of the league has or possesses self-governing dominions or colonies or parts of empire which are also members of the league, the JTnited States shall fiave votes In the assembly or council of the league numerically equal to the aggregate vote of siich member of the league and., its self-governing dominions and colonies and parts of empire' In the council or assembly of the league." Tne committee also adopted two other amendments, providing that the American representatives on the rep arations commission shall vote only when specifically instructed to do so by this government, and that none of the British dominions may take part in deciding a dispute under the league to which one of thein Is n party. The reparations amendment ^as proposed by Senator Fall, Republican, New Mexico, nnd the other by Senator Moses, Republican, New Hampshire. The vote in each case was 9- to 8, the Democrats and Senator Mc- Cumber voting In the negative. The Moses amendment followed a suggestion made by former President Taft, nnd was considered necessary by the Republican members to preclude any possibility that the British dominions could act together to prevent any one of them from being overthrown in a decision by the league. The reparations commission, which will have charge of collecting Germany's reparations bill. Is one of the few which would have an American representative under the amendment adopted earlier In the week to reduce American representation on audi1 commissions.

President Opens Campaign far D ratization of the Industrie*--Adta ( Labor to Avoid Strikes and Aid Fight on H. C. L. Washington. Sept" 3.--In a Labor day message to the country President Wilson signalized the opening of a campaign he will make for the democratization of industry, Involving fundamental changes in the relatioiuAlpi of capital and labor and a radical revolution of the wage system.

Gary of the United States Steel corporati#n, who has refused to treat with the unions, the president announced that he would call a conference of capital and labor to discuss the Issue between them. The proposed conference, it was 8tated"authoritatively, would be called to meet soon after President Wilson, returns at.the end of September from his tour of the West. It was thought, likely that the meeting would be held at the White House. t The text of President. Wilson's sage follows: " "I am encouraged and gratified by the progress which Is being made in! controlling the cost of living. The support of the movement Is widespread, and 1 confidently look for substantial results, although I must counsel patience as well as vigilance, because such results will not come instantly or without teamwork. "Let me again emphasize my appeal to every citizen of the country to continue to give his personal support In tills matter, and to make it. as active as possible. Let him not' only refrain from doing anything which at the moment will tend to Increase the cost of living, but let him do all in his power to increase production, and, further than that, let) him at the same time himself carefully economise.in the matted of consumption. "By common action In this direction we shall overcome a danger greater than the danger of war. We will hold steady a situation which Is fraught with possibilities of hardship and suffering to a large part of our population, we will enable the processes of production to overtake the processes of consumption, and we will speed the restoration of mi adequate purchasing power for wages. "I am particularly gratified'at the support which the government's policy has reached from the representatives of organized labor.
