Washington, July 9.-President Will son will present the peace treaty and the League of Nations covenant to the senate tomorrow.
 In presenting the document the president will deliver a lengthy ad- dress in which he is expected to out line the details of the negotiations re- gently concluded in Paris and tell why he feels that the United States should endorse the League of Nations coven- ant. His address promises to mark the opening of one of the bitterest fights ever waged in the senate over ratification of a treaty. It was announced at the White House today that the president would place himself unreservedly at the dis posal of the senate in it's consideration of the treaty. He was represented as being anxious and eager" to appear before any committee of the senate or house to answer any questions with regard to the treaty and the league covenant.
 While members of the senate foreign relations committee declined to pre- dict whether the president would be invited before the committee, there was a general feeling that should he make known directly a desire to ap pear, he would be given the opportuni- ty.
 Should the president go before the committee, there are indications that
 
 bers are known to be determinedly op posed to any secrecy in senate consid- eration of the treaty, and in this stand the yexpect the cooperation of the president and his supporters on the committee.
 A vigorous questioning undoubtedly will await the president should he ap- pear before the committee. Among the members are some of the. most bitter critics of the League of Ma tions and of the presidents conduct of the Versailles negotiations including Chairman Lodge and Senators Borah of Idaho; Johnson of California, and Fall of New Mexico. all republicans.
 There is little likelihood that the committee will begin work on the treaty before Monday, although it will receive the document as soon as it is submitted by the president. There are many maps attached and it is not expected that copies for the commit tee members can be made at the gov ernment printing office before the end of the week.
 The plan tonight was for the sen ate, as soon as the president has fin ished speaking tomorrow, to order the treaty printed in the congressional record and as public document. This will reverse another precedent, the practice having been to consider un- ratified treaties as confidential.

Berlin DiScOnCerted
 By Traction Strikes
Citizens League to Call For Volunteers to Man Subway and Surface Lines.

Berlin, July 9.-(By The A. P) Gustav Noske, German minister of de- fense, was asked today by the Citi- zens' League to call for volunteers to man the surface and subway lines in Berlin and to provide military pro- lection on the trains. Another effort to reopen negotiations between the two sides failed today.
 The striking car men are becoming more outspoken in their attempt to enforce their demands while the companies apparently are equally de- termined to insist upon arbitration by board whose verdict shall be fi- nal.
 Slight relief in the traffic tieup was afforded today by partial service on the belt lines This service, however, the population. So long as the un- derground lines are suspended the bulk of the people must walk unless they utilize the few, expensive taxi equipped conveyances operated by in- dividuais.
 As shoes are something of a luxury now, the necessity for much walking is a cause of worry to many
 Leaders of the railway workers, who have been on strike for some time, are reiterating the statement that the present resumption of work is only truce and that the demands of the railway workers will be re- newed when prospects for a general strike seem better.
 Representatives of the railway companies assert that transportation conditions are approaching normal.
 Bank workers, upon whose de- mands referee has ruled, submitting a compromise, are said to be opposed to accepting the partial award al- though neither of the two clerks unions has announced any official ac- tion on the proposed settlement. It is said there may be further arbi- tration proceedings.
 The railway strikers who brought about virtual suspension of trans portation in southern and western Germany, decided at Frankfort on Sunday to resume work but with a declaration that their demands must be met.

WOULD FEDERALIZE THE
 WHOLE UNITED KINGDOM

Dublin, July 9.-The proposed in- quiry into the possibilities of federal ism for the whole United Kingdom, it is believed here in well informed circles, will be furthered by the gov- ernment It is said that such an in quiry would furnish a breathing space during which the act, suspend ing the Irish home rule bill, would be further extended.
 Two proposals looking to the exam ination in parliament of federalism or something akin to it, have been made recently. The house of com mons on June 4, after a debate of two days, adopted resolution favoring the appointment of parliamentary committee to examine and report up on the creation of subordinate legis- latures. A second suggestion, along this line, was made on July in the house of commons by Major Waldorf Astor, who announced that a com mittee would be set up to make a full inquiry into the whole problem of legislative evolution in the United Kingdom.
 The Irish home rule act passed May 25, 1914, never became effective. It was put on the statute books but it was suspended during the war by an act adopted September 16.

Monday as soon as it has heard the presidents address and ha referred the teaty to committee and ordered it printed. Several senators will be ready to speak on the subject the first of the week. however. and the debatt is expected to be virtually continuous until the ratification vote is taken perhaps many weeks hence.
 Although there has been little dis cussion regarding the new treaty with France, by which that nation would be promised American aid in case of an unprovoked attack by Germany, the general expectation is that it all so will be presented by the president tomorrow and will take the same course as the treaty with Germany.
 Irrespective of whether he goes be- fore the foreign relations committee, democratic leaders in the senate and members of the committee will have president. He would have seen some of them today but for the fact that his entire time was occupied with revising and putting the finishing touches on his address.
 According to plans tonight MT. Will son will confer with many senators tomorrow. He probably will have op- committee members when they go to the White House in the morning. to escort him to the capitol. The com mittee will be received by the president at II o'clock unless present plans are changed. The president will not leave for the capitol before noon. He is to speak fifteen minutes later.
 The house will not be in session while the president is speaking, hay ing agreed today to meet at 2 D. m. so members can be in the senate to hear the chief executive.

LEGALITY OF SETTING A MINIMUM PRICE ON FISH

Boston, July 9.-The senate was asked today to request the attorney general to say whether it would be un- constitutional to set a minimum price for fish as the basis for wages of fish ermen.
