QUESTIONED OFFICERS OF
 BOSTON POLiCEMEN'S UNION

Boston, Aug. 20.-Oficers elected by the new policemen's union today were summoned to police headquarters for a conference with Superintendent Crowley regarding their activities in the organization. the joining of which had been forbidden by Police Com missioner Curtis. No word as to the outcome of the conference was avail able.
 Later in. the day members of city council committee met the conrnis= sioner to discuss the situation. A statement by the chairman of the committee said.
 "The commissioner. while admitting the right of all employees to- organize and endorsing the aims and objects of labor unions in general holds that police officers are not employed in the ordinary sense of the word. but are public officials. and in his opinion membership in the labor organization is not compatible with their duty as such officials.
 He further stated that the ques- tion as to whether police officers were employees or public officials would probably be determined by the courts, and if the decision was adverse to his contention of course the rule he had promulgated prohibiting membership in the union would be illegal and any men discharged for it's violation would be reinstated."

PLAN TO PLACE RAILROADS

 Appearing before the house inter state commerce committee, Thomas Dewitt Cuyler. chairman of the associ- ation, recommended on behalf of his organization return of the railroads to private operation with legislative guar autees of adequate revenues to the roads and efficient service to the pub lie. Both Mir. Cuyler and Alfred P. Thom, counsel of the association, an- other witness, attacked the Plumb plan for tripartite control of the roads un- der government ownership as an inn practicable system which the Ameri- can people, when fully informed, would surely reject.
 Mir. Thom devoted his testimony largely to an attack on the Plumb plan asserting that it's provisions for retire ment of private capital would deprive the railroads of one third of the lines book value.
 Government regulation of railroads was blamed by MT. Thom for the pres ent condition of the lines.

MOVE FOR A COMPROMISE IN
 LEAGUE OF NATIONS FIGHT
Proposal Made Adopt Interpretive Reservations But That They Be Kept Apart From the Actual Ratiff cation of the Treaty-Senators Not In Accord With President Wilson's Distinction Between Moral and Legal Obligations

Washington. Aug. 2o.--The first open move for compromise in the League of Nations fight came from admins tration quarters today embraced in a proposal that the senate adopt, in- terpretative reservations but that they be kept apart from the actual rati- fication of the treaty.
 The overture met with no imme- diate success the republican side of the chamber, senators of the repub- lican reservation group declaring they could not recede from their position that to be effective the reservations must go into the ratificat ton itself.
 Senator Pittman of Nevada. dem ocratic member of the foreign rela- tions committee. presented the com promise proposal in the form of res olution embodying in effect the four reservations agreed on by seven re- publican senators and declaring them to constitute the senates understand ing of disputed points in the coven- ant.
 In the republican draft however it is expressly provided that the reser- vations "be made part of the treaty
Norwich bulletin., 1919-08-21

by the instrument of ratification" a proviso which Senator McNary of oregon and others of the group of seven republicans said they considered absolutely necessary if enough repub- lican votes are to be gained to se- cure ratification of the treaty.
 To overcome this objection Sena- tor Pittman proposed in a speech in the senate that the resolution be adopted at once and submitted to the other powers who will be represented on the league council. A general de- bate developed during which Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, and others took exception with President Vii sons distinction between moral and legal obligations under the covenant as expressed in yesterdays White House conference between the presi- dent and the foreign relations com mittee.
 Although Senator Pittman said he mad not submitted his resolution for the presidents approval, he asserted that it carried into effect Mir. Wilson's views on the suplecu of reservations as expressed to the committee yester- day.
