Cable Message from President Wilson
Said Labor Provisions Had Not
Been Materially Weakened.
Atlantic City, N. J., June 21.—Organ-
ized labor today indorsed the League
of Nations covenant and the labor pro-
visions it contains, which, according
to a cable message from President
Wilson, have been weakened, although
not materially.
In giving its approval by a vote on a
proportional basis of 29,750 against 420,
the reconstruction convention of the
American Federation of Labor made it
clear that "nothing in the indorsement
oan be construed as denying the right
of self-determination and freedom to
Ireland as recognized by this conven-
tion."
An amendment containing the Irish
provision was adopted unanimously.
A Labor "Magna Charta."
The President's cable in reply to one
Bent him by Samuel Gompers, president
of the Federation, asking information
about changes reported in press dis-
patches, was:
"Your message came whilq I was in
Belgium, and reached me too late to
ma-ke full reply; but, as I indicated in
an earlier message, while the labor pro-
visions are somewhat weakened, it is
the opinion of friends of labor, and my
own opinion, that they are not material
ly weakened and that they will consti-
tute a most serviceable Magna Charta.
Will cable labor provisions, but fear
it will be too late for the convention."
Mr. Gomper's message to the Presi-
dent said, in part:
"Upon my advice the executive coun-
cil-of the American Federation of La-
bor has recommended to the conven-
tion now in convention the indorse-
ment of the League of Nations, includ-
ing the labor provisions. Reports
published here indicate that the labor
provisions have been so changed and
weakened as to practically nullify their
effectiveness.
"I cannot ask the convention and the
rank and file of labor to indorse pro-
visions which in any way have been
made valueless."
- Gives Change In Covenant.
The message closed by asking a
prompt reply, definite information and
a copy of the provisions affecting labor
"as now framed."
Both the messages were read to the
convention. A third message received
from the American peace delegation in
Paris through' the State Department,
ii>-which the changes made in the labor
provisions were enumerated, also was
read.
THE ITALIAN CABINET QUITS
Failing to Receive Vote of Confidence
From Chamber of Deputies, Or-
lando Government Resigns.
Rome, June 20.—The Italian govern-
ment resigned late today following an
adverse vote against it in the Chamber
of Deputies.
Premier Orlando, in announcing his
resignation and that of the cabinet,
said King Victor Emmanuel had re
served decision as to acceptance.
The Chamber of Deputies had, by a
vote of 259 to 78, rejected Premier Or-
lando's motion in favor of discussing
the question of confidence which re-
lated to the foreign policy of the gov-
ernment in secret session.
Prior to the vote Premier Orlando, in
addressing the chamber, said:
"Italy's peace with Germany and
Austria has been solved in a manner
with which, on the whole, I feel satis-
fied."
Insisting on the necessity of a secret
session the premier declared that the
government needed greater confidence
and would treat his motion for a secret
session as a question of confidence.
The Socialists immediately opposed
this.
Signor Orlando, in his address, said
Italy's position had been considerably
aggravated by international events
during the second fortnight of April.
He referred to President Wilson's mes-
sage regarding the Adriatic question.
The Italian delegation at the Peace
Conference, the premier added, had fol-
lowed this policy:
"1. Maintain with firmness all the
essential points of the Italian claims
without Italy is convinced peace will
be neither just nor adequate to the im-
mense sacrifices suffered.
"2. Remain faithful in your duties
toward the Allies.
"3. Avoid any blind form of ob-
stinate intransigeance. Indeed, facili-
tate conciliatory suggestions capable of
producting accord in the conference
over the problems concerning Italian
frontiers."
Signor Orlando urged parliament to
separate the discussion of foreign af-
fairs from the internal policy of the
country, the latter being virtually ab-
sorbed in the grave question of the
high cost of living. Past history
showed, he said, the internal perturba-
tions were transitory and that equili-
brium soon would be regained.
WILSON TO PROBE POGROMS
Paris, June 21.—President Wilson, It
was learned today, has decided to ap-
point a commission to investigate re-
ported pogroms in Poland. It will con-
sist of seven members, headed by Hen-
ry Morgenthau, former ambassador to
Turkey.
Two other members of the commis-
sion, in addition to Mr. Morgenthau,
will be Jews.
The appointment of the commission
is in accordance with requests from
the Polish and Lithuanian govern-
ments.
, Paris, June 21.—Speaking yesterday
fin the Chamber of Deputies on the
-buget, Jacques Stern renewed the i
proposition that all outlays for the
*war be proportioned among the Allies.
*'It is the duty of the Allies," said M.
•Stern, "to help France. Great Britain
•anjl the United States should do for us
*hat they have done for such countries
as Greece and Turkey. The United
States has spent only the equivalent!
of 100 billion francs during the war,
while before they came in they had de-
livered supplies of war material to the
Allies to the amount of 120 billion
francs.

Took Much-Married Farmer Some
Few Minutes to Recall All His
Matrimonial Alliances.
In introducing William Jennings
Bryan at the Indiana Democratic club
the other day, former Governor Ral-
ston referred to the Commoner as
"one under whose banners we have
Often fought." Mr. Bryan smiled re-
signedly.
"I'm used to It," he said. "Not long
ago I was introduced to a man, and
he said: 4Oh, yes, I voted for you
four or five times.' It reminds me of
the man who was drawing up an
elaborate diagram of his family tree.
His son, watching over his shoulder,
said: 'Why, pop, you got Uncle Jim
married only four times!' 'Well, that's
right,' the father answered.
" 'No it ain't,' the son insisted.
'He has been married five times. I
was at the fifth wedding, and I know.'
"Well, I'll ask him about it,' said
the father.
"Sure enough, a few days later he
met his brother and said: 'Jim, you
know I'm working on the family tree,
and I want to be sure it's right, and
I put you down as married four
times.'
" 'Well, that's right,' said Jim.
"But son Harry says you have been
married five times—that he was at the
fifth wedding.'
"By George! that's right!' said
Jim. 'There was a fifth wife—and she
was a good woman.'"—Indianapolis
News.
Artful Creature.
''So she's a love pirate?"
"That's wrhat she's been called."
"Why, she looks as innocent as a
baby!"—Boston Evening Transcript
Remarkable Display of Gowns and
Jewels Seen at Recent New York
Charity Function.
What would have been called "opera
jewels" during the opera season were
used at one of the foremost charity
functions of the spring. There were
dinner parties before the ball and a
concert given by famous musicians pre-
ceded the dancing. The costumes were
magnificent. They seemed to be a cul-
mination of all that had been gorgeous
and glorious during this past victory
season. The colors were brilliant and
the styles everything that is remark-
able from the waistless gown with the
snaky train to the transparent—or at
least not opaque—textiled frocks of the
debutantes, and with such costumes,
naturally, the most magnificent jewels
were worn! 4
A set of emerald jewels had a splen-
did background and foil in a gown of
cloth-of-silver draped with a pleni-
tude of black lace. The set comprised
a sautoir necklace composed of huge
emeralds; a bracelet of a single row
of box-set caliber emeralds; a brooch
used as a pretended fastening for a
lace flounce which did duty as the
only sleeve the gown possessed—used
over the left shoulder—and in the
coif a spray of emerald foliage was
used in lieu of a fillet.—New York
Times.
Sense of Fitness.
"I wonder why they took George
Washington's picture off the three-
cent stamp?"
"Maybe his facial expression was re-
garded as too calm and dignified to go
with the state of mind caused by un-
reliabilities in the recent mail serv-
ice."
