LODGE RESERVATION Qualification of Article X. Likely to Stand as Report ed by Committee. \HEART OF COVENANT\ Stipulation Leaves America Free to Act Only by Vote of Congress. BORAH IS STILL OPPOSED Says Qualification Is Ineffec- tive and Urges More Vigor- ous Declaration. Special Deipatch to Inn Scn. Washinoton, Xov. 10. The Sennto devoted the entire day to a discussion of tho reservation of tho Foreign Re- lations Committee to Article X. of the covenant of tho Leaguo of Nations without arriving at a vote. Amend- ment after amendment was voted down, however, and when adjournment was; taken It was apparent that no break In tho committee programme would mark tho decision; the reserva- tion will bo adopted ns it camo from tho committee unless tho decidedly un- expected happens. The discussion brought Article X., which pledges member States to pre- serve qs against external aggression tho territorial integrity and political independence of all other members, into the spotlight as \the heart of tho covenant,\ as President Wilson has characterized it It was 'attacked al- ternately by Administration supporters and by the \battalion of death\ oppo- nents to the treaty. Amendments to It came from all sides, and whatever thelycourse all In turn were voted down. , Text of Reservation. Reservation No. 3, reported by the Foreign Relations Committee dealing with this article, reads: The United States assumes no ob- ligation to preserve the territorial Integrity or political Independence\ of any other country 'or to Interfere In controversies between nations whether members of the league or not under the provisions of Article X., or to employ the military or naval forces of the United States under ny article of the treaty for any pur- pose unless In any particular case the Congress, which under tho Con- stitution has the sole power to de- clare war or authorize .the employ- ment of the military or naval forces of the United States, shall by act or Joint resolution so provide.\ Senator McCumber (N. D.) early In the discussion of the treaty offered a substitute providing that the league's suggestions for executing this article should be advisory only and that Con- gress must authorize the employment of the military or naval forces for the pur- poses of the article. This amendment was dropped by Mr. McCumber later and taken up by Sen ator Thomas (Col.), who offered It. It was under consideration all day. Mr. Thomas spoke for and Senator Walsh (Mon.) against It Senator Borah at- - lacKea tne committee reservations as Ineffective and contended that tho only proper course was to declare the United . Statfs in nowlsr, a n.irtv In nnv nerea- - mn nV nn ;V TmS.r th nrtlVw-f\\- Late ln the day he offered an amend- ment to this effect. Limitation of Power Timed. Senator Cummins (Ia.) agreed In part with Mr. Borah. He did not believe, however, that the article could be elim- inated and as the next best treatment he wanted It made as harmless as powible. Their discuss centred around the question of limiting the power of the Tresident to do whatever h. pleased with the armed, forces of ; the country and whether that power i could be limited by any provision in a treaty. Senator Smith (Ga.) asserted that either the committee's resolution or tho Thomas amendment Bttll would leave America under obligation to participate In ill foreign wars: therefore he would oppose, the substitute, and also the article Itself. Knator Borah offered an amendment that the United states Bnoum. nsume no responsibility whatever under Article Lt?nd ' if\ I? lJl strike out from the committee reservation the words, \or authorize the employment of the military or nival forces of the United States.\ which likewise was de- feated. 3S to 45. Mr. Walsh next offered an amendment to arid to the committee reservation the words, \and the United States hereby releawi nil i. lSWr \u In A. and . declines to participate In any procecd- - ;trt 01 tne council authorized thereby.\ This was voted down and finally a vote was reached on the Thomas amendment, 36 to 44. Hiving sat until nearly 2 o'clock. It now became apparent that more discus- sion would result before a vote on tho committee resrvatlon could be reached and bo the Senate adjourned.

The Government's attltud. n. lined ln a statement from Attorney-Ge- t eral Palmer In reply to that of tho Fed. tration of Labor chiefs. It follows: \Tho coal strike Is a plain violation of a Federal statute. This has been the Government's position from the start The President declared It to be unlawful, and the court, full hearing, has now declared It to bo unlawful. \All I can say is that the law will b enforced. This same law has been en. forced many times, and the Department of Justice has other cases now pending which were brought under It. The merits tho controversy between the operators and the miners not Involved the court proceedings at Indianapolis. Neither is right to strike involved. \Nothing that tho Government has done Is Intended or desiened tn lmv. ,n effect upon the recognized right labor orsanlze. to banal through unions and Industrial conditions to out by con- certed action. The proposal by the Pres- ident of a peaceful settlement of the mat-ter- s at Issue between tho operators and the miners, through negotiation or arbi tration, was rejected, and the Govern- ment, therefore, faced the only alterna- tive submitting to the demands of a lnglo group tho Irreparable Injury of the whole people or of challenging tho assertion by that group of power greater than that of the Government Itself. \Confronted with such a choice the Government's duty perfectly clear: It refused surrender tho dictation of a group and It proposes to assert its power to protect Itself and tho people whom It Is designed to serve. \Tho Government Is no respecter of pertons in the enforcement of law. Thoso who concelvo that tho resolutions of a convention or the orders of tha officers any organization ln the coun- try, whether labor organizations or any other, superior In authority to law of the land will find themselves mistaken. \I assume that the order of tha court will be obeyed.
