Joseph Caillaux, former French premier, pleads not guilty to treasonous dealings with Germany. He admits no policy of closer relations with Berlin, claiming European conciliation and denying imprudence, impulsiveness, or intelligence with the enemy as today’s trial resumes before the Senate high court.
The Caillaux interrogation covers late 1914 and early 1913 trips to South America. It notes James Minette, son-in-law of Louis F. Swift, and Minotto being mentioned as a spy, with Mirrored claims of trustworthiness and a Rio Janeiro meeting with Edwin V. Morgan. Caillaux defends himself, insisting he was deceived, and pauses to read a Brazil minister’s letter praising his patriotism.
Former Lieutenant-Governor Louis A. Frothingham filed for delegate-at-large and pledged to back Leonard Wood for president. Rumors circulated that Lodge papers were out, but Jeremiah A.

The Senate debate on the League of Nations treaty continued with sharp exchanges. Senator Hitchcock denied Democratic aims to force the treaty in the campaign, while Senator Lenroot credited Republicans with pushing a compromise among themselves. Senator Borah dismissed prospects for accord, and Senator McKellar’s account of conference votes drew rebuttals from New and Lenroot. Senator France urged immediate peace and withdrawal measures, and Senator Phelan argued against Japanese racial equality in the League context, warning of intermarriage and loyalty issues. Leaders signaled further debate and a possible vote on a modified Article 10 reservation the next day.
A former YD officer and several Worcester leaders publicly balked at dining with General Pershing, rejecting invitations amid controversy over his overseas actions.

In a 124 to 32 vote the House urged Congress to enact national labor laws despite Democratic opposition from Gerry Brown Brockton and William H McDonnell Boston. Critics argued states should set hours of labor and rejected surrender of rights to Congress to avoid Southern advantages.
Supporters expect House endorsement by a substantial margin while opponents warn of a close vote as both sides rally for the railroad bill compromise.
Democratic and labor leaning members oppose the bill while Republicans vary in stance. Representative Rayburn defends the measure and warns labor leaders oppose any road return. Blanton denounces Gompers and notes strong lobbying by rail interests and unions with little public lobbying.
Daniel T. O'Connell resigns as director of the Irish National Bureau and will return to law practice in Boston. He says pressure of private business forced the step, despite urging from Irish leaders nationwide to continue directing the movement after eight months of devoted service.

Mr. Ilustis urges 2,009,000 railroad workers to unite behind management as railroads return to private control. He cites severe New England snow, influenza, and tests of loyalty, praising workers who met the emergency and warning against a minority focused on pay as the sole motive. The key is a service spirit to sustain private operation.
