Some Democrats in Accord.

The mild -feservationists" under
stand that the administration senators
are willing to accept many of the
reservations proposed by the foreign
relations, committee. with little or no
change. They believe that the COR
rect way to handle the situation
therefore, is to seek a reconsideration
of the vote by which the original
Lodge resolution fails. if it does fail.
Also, they have an idea tucked away
in their heads that the administration
senators are seeking some political
advantage in attempting to have the
Senate adopt a resolution of reserva-
ton offered by them. rather than the
Lodge resolution in some form or
other.

Will Not Support Ruling.

The mild reservationists," how
ever, will not support ruling by the
Vice President, after the Lodge reso-
luton with the original reservations
has been defeated, which would allow
Senator Hitchcock. the administration
leader, to offer a resolution of ratifi-
cation either for unqualified ratifica-
ton of the treaty. or for ratification
with reservations framed by the ad-
ministration leaders.
So. in the end, it Appeals that the
Lodge resolution must prevail in some
form, for the administration support
ers have been countingyupon the votes
of the mild reservatiOnists to aid in
sustaining the expected ruling OF the
Vice President, or no resolution will
go through.

cloture Rule Speakers.

When the Senate began work to-
day the secretary's record of time
used under the cloture rule showed
TINT only 35 Of the 95 senator's had
talked. with an average of A.. min
utes each. Several. however. had used
nearly all of the hour allotted to each
senator under cloture.
While this would show that less
than three hours had been exhausted
of the possible maximum of ninety-
five hours debate, 1t does not take
into consideration the senators who
may not talk at all or may use only
a small portion of their time, and
forms no basis for an estimate as to
when the debate will end.
The first subject to come up was
the labor section of the treaty. to
which a number of reservations were
proposed Senator Thomas, democrat.

he would vote against ratification

Must Deal With Mr.. Lodge.

Senator Hitchcock was informed
that,it would be necessary for him to
deal with the republican leader, Mr..
Lodge, in the future. and not with the
reservationists.
In other words, the mild reserya-
tionists, who are republicans, though
they are DESTROYS of having the treaty
ratified, are nevertheless willing to
go to the country. if the administra-
ton leaders should insist upon a res
olution of their own instead of the
Lodge resolution in some form. and
let the country decide where the
blame for the failure of the ratifica-
ton should rest.

TRAFFIC WILL NOT BE
EFFECTED.

Washington, June l2.-Declaring
the strike of wire employees which has
been called was wholly without JUS
tification,' Postmaster General Burle-
son said in Il statement that no
amount of pressure will avail to make
the wire control board extend or go
beyond rules and regulations affect
ing employees laid down during the
war by the National War Labor Board.
Mr.. BurlesOn said his information
was that Geographic traffic had not
and would not be delayed. Govern
ment business, which makes up the
bulk of that handled by the telegraph
companies here, was reported moving
MS usual, and at the State Department
II was said there had been no inter
ruption of cable communication with
Europe.
"The present strike is wholly with
out Justification said the postmaster
general. 1T started at Atlanta, Ca,
because ii was claimed that employees
of the Southern Telephone Company
had been dismissed solely because of
affiliation with the labor organization.
The complaint was promptly referred
TO p~ostoffice inspectors for investiga-
lion.
"Nhile the investigation was in
progress and before the investigators
had time TO ascertain the facts, a
sympathetic strike against the West
ern Union was called in the southeast
ern states, An insignificant percent
age of the operatives respected this
order to strike. Messages were moi
delayed and business was handled 10
usual.
in the meantime ii was ascertained
that only seven employees of the South
ern Bell Telephone Company had been
dismissed during the month Of May as
compared with an average OF five for
two months preceding, and the inves-
t~igation Of these cases so far COM
pleted shows that no discrimination
whatever has been practiced against
employees of that company because of
union affiliations.
"Our information is that the tele-
graphic traffic has not been delayed
and the information Received indicates
that 1t will not be delayed. During
the period of government control the
rules and regulations of the War La
Dor Board have been strictly observed

Effective Auto Crossing.

An inexpensive auto crossing and
stock guard is used very extensive in
several states to avoid opening gates.
This is cheaply and quickly construct
ed and found to be very effective.
There is a square hole four feet deep,
dug in the ground in the center of the
guard. This hole is beneath the axel
Of the car shown In the Illustration.
The method of construction is fully ex-
planned by glanciDg at the picture, and
If these were constructed by all farm
ers and ranchmen at convenient
places, in a short time the bother Of
opening and closing gates would be q
thing of the past. This especially ap-
pealed to ONE drivers and found
to aid greatly In taking children to
and from school in public cars in rur-
al districts.
