PEACE TREATY MAY
 BE SIDESTEPPED FOR BUSINESS WHEN THE
 CONGRESS CONFINES
tcontinued from Page one)

 night. compromise talk seemed to be about where it was when the special session ended with the republican forces holding out for the majority reservations and the democrats deter n,taed to prevent modification unless these reservations were modified.
 There were many reports of defec tions in the democratic ranks, but the democratic leaders belittled such stories and declared a compromise was bound to come. Senator Lodge, how ever has declared in a public state ment that there Is SO room for fur ther compromise.
 While the treaty itself remains side tracked, some of the issues it raised are expected to come again to She fore in ebe effort of the republican leaders to pass a concurrent resolution declaring the war at an end. The administra- ton is prepared to fight such a step. holding that peace can be established properly only by ratification of the treaty.

PUBLIC SERVICE
 BOARD IS A FARCE, GOVERNOR DECLARES
(Coutinued From Page Onel

C0uttnued From Page Onel sonal letters that have come to me at Montgomery.
 Every department of the state gov ernment is now moving forward smoothly and efficiently with the exception of the public service commission. That body is the same old farce that 1t has been for years. Some of it's members have seen fit to take advantage of a clerical error in law enacted at the last ses- sion to defeat the will of the people. as expressed through their representa- tives in the legislature, by remaining away from theG posts of duty. It seems to me that any man who had decent regard for the responsibility he owes to the state would move to Montgomery, stay on the job and conscientiously dis charge the duties of the office to which he was elected by the people. Indeed, when the candidates for this office next appear before the voters for preferment they should be made to pledge that they will devote more than one day month to the states business for which they are paid handsome salaries Any pres ent officeholder who is unwilling to do this@ should resign and make room for some man who has the interests of the state at heart
 Governor Kilby reiterated his deter imitation to enforce the laws of the state, for which purpose the legislature voted his office enlarged powers. He says he finds a wholesome desire on the part of sheriffs. police officers and the people generally to cooperate in these efforts toward better government.
 With the exception of.a slight cold the governor is in excelleneAhealth and fine spirit. He has spent most of the time he has been in Annston in conference with his business associates and with his family at the Kilby home on Woodstock avenue

the anti-strike legislation that was to have been included in the Esch bill
 Mr Huddleston also defined the Plumb Plan and referred in few words to the Curnmlns bill.
 "The first victory of the laboring people came when I and others who were fight ing to change the Erch bill. delayed the bill long enough so that pressure from all over the country could. be brought to bear on the congressman.
 The result was that there were satis- factory changes made in the bill before it was passed I myself used every mo- ment I could get to gain the floor in be- talf of the changes in the bill
 The Plumb Plan, he declared, was not os radical a measure as the Esch bill.
 '@The Plumb Plan.'' said Mir Huddle- ston. lis not half so bad as some of the controlled press of the country might have you to believe It was at first said to be of bolshevik tendencies, but it is not nearly as radical as the Esch bill, witfNits anti-strike clause which many of these newspapers favor"
 MT. Huddleston stated that on account of another engagement he was unable to go further into the Plumb Plan on the Cummins bill, but that he wanted the brotherhood men to know that he was in close harmony with the representatives of labor in Congress, and would do all in his power to further the interests of the labor organizations.
 Following the address of Representative Huddleston, the brotherhood lodges went into secret session.
 At 6 o'clock they adjourned the business session and were served refreshments by the ladies auvxiliary to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, after which a general meeting was held and questions concerning the organizations were dis. cussed by the members.
 A number of delegates from the three local lodges of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers, besides delegates from other parts of Alabama, and from Geor- gia and Florida, were present at the tri- state meeting.

yember, when the federal reserve banks advanced discount rates. The advance was slight but accompanied. as 1t was, by an announced discount policy, it was efficacious in causing reduction of loans"
 Reports from the agricultural sections indicated considerable crop damage due to excessive rains and insect pests, par ticularly the cotton crop. The acreage in wheat in the Pacific northwest, 1t was thought probable, would largely ex- ceed that of 1918, while the corn crop, although damaged by the rain in certain localities, also would exceed that of 1918, according to estimates.
 The grain movementswas reported SLOW and building activity was marked as tad fnr. thia time of year.
