By Committee Today.
LODGE IS CONFIDENT
Sure Entire Program Will
Be Acceptable When
Vote Is Taken.

The program Of reservations on tn.
peace treaty was finally agreed upon
by the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee yesterday. Senator Lodge
will report the ratifJing resolution
containing the reservations to the
Senate today.
The committee adopted one new res
ervation, which was proposed by
Senator Shields. Democrat, of Ten
nessee, authorizing Chairman Lodge
to draft another. which was pro-
posed by Senator Reed. Democrat. OF
/ Missouri. and combined No. XI with
No. Nv. as agreed upon yesterday.
Thus the committee reservations
will number fourteen. Some mem
bers of the committee found an eIe-
ment of humor in the fact that the
number of reservations is the same
as President Wilson'S famous four
teen points.
Republicans CONFIDENT.
The Republican leaders assert they
have the votes necessary to put all
the fourteen reservations through ami

powers before Americas acceptance
of the treaty becomes an actually.

putting through the preamble" of
the reservations. which requires ac-

after the committee meeting that he
can count upon the votes of six
Democratic Senators and will not lose
more than two votes among the Re-
publicans. Senators McCumber. of
North Dakota. and Nelson, of Mime
sofa. It is understood. will vote
against the preamble. The six DEM

net total for the preamble of 50
votes, a ma ajority Of four votes.

CONGRESS SPLIT
ON CARRIER BILL
House and Senate at Odds
On Strike Clause and
Return Measures.

Radical differences between the
House and Senate measures for
solving the railroad problem be-
came apparent yesterday. when it
was learned that the subcommit-
tees draft of the House bill. prac-
tically complete. does rot contain
any anti-strike legislation. nor
guaranty of a fixed return for the
rail lines.
In brief. the House measure will
largely follow the proposals Of
Chairman Esch. of the Interstate
Commerce Committee. which pro-
vides for enlargement Of the powers
" the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. The Senate bill centers
about the formation Of a transpor-
tation board, for which no provision
has yet been included in the House
draft. Indications are that none
will be written into the measure.
While the Senate will forbid
strikes. the House bill will set up
a board of arbitration. which.
though lacking the force Of strike
prohibition. will contain some
powers for enforcing DEGREES reIa-
tive to ordinary disputes Of wages
and working conditions.
Before the House railroad IegisIa-
ton is presented on the foor. Tow
ever. the full membership of the In
terstate Commerce Committee will be
compelled to place its disapproval on
the anti-strike legislation, for it is
known that such a proposal will be
offered when the subcommittee COM
pletes its draft within the next few
days and submits it to the full COM
mittee. Republican leaders plan that
the measure will be before the House
so that it can be passed before ad-
