make him the recipient OF information
In confidence that he already possesses
and thus make II embarrassing for
him TO give publicity to much matter
That he deems II his duty to present TO
the Senate.
The first Senator to decline an inv-
tation TO the White House was Mr..
Borah (Idaho), who was invited to the
famous White House dinner last spring
and declined. That was during the
Presidents hurried visit to America at
the close OF tho short session of Con-
gress. Mr.. Borah was certain that
nothing he might hear could posoibly
change his position, and likewise that
nothing ne could say would influences
the President and so, like Mr.. Norris,
ne felt that he would be moro free from
any possible presumption OF violation OF
confidence IL he remained away. He had
no thought OF discourtesy. as Mr.. Norris
has none at this time.
Norris Not on 10 Anti-League List.
Mr.. Norris was asked when he had
stated that he would not attend the
conference:
rs yours one OF the thirty-five names
OF Senators who have pledged not TO
vote for the covenant In its present
form?'
II assume that It is not" he replied.
ct have not signed anything to that
effect, and nobody has been authorised
to use my name In such connection"
Then Il would appear" It was sug-
gested that this list ought to have
at least thirty-six names on itr'
YES, and considerably more than
that. l guess" replied the Senator SEN
tentiously.
II any Senators aside from Mr.. Norris
have been invited to the White House
for tomorrow their names could not
be learned to-day. It was generally
supposed that Mr.. Spencer (Mo.) would
be on to-morrow's list, II there was a
list. but he said tonight that he had
not been asked.
Three Senators have given notice Of
speeches tomorrow on the League Of
Nations They are Beckham (Ky.) and
Harrison (Miss.), both Democrats. who
will speak in support of the movement,
and McNary (Ore.). Republican. who
has been rated as supporter also.
Mr.. McNarys address will be one Of the
most interesting and really important
contributions OF q week that will be full

ANNUAL REPORT

by Associated Press. ,

Washington, Dec. 4.-The annual
report Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, submitted to Congress
today is comparatively brief and
makes few recommendations
Federal control of railways during
the last year, having taken over many
functions of the commission the re-
port renews mainly recommendation
made in previous years.
1t is recommended that the power
to award reparation for unreasonable
or unlawful charges be placed who'll
ly in the courts; that the powers Of
the commission be extended to hold
ing corporations as ell as those which
actually operate interstate transpor-
tation lines. and that railroad operat
ing rules be standardized.
The commission reports again that
in many cases its work has been OBJ
structed because necessary records
and data could only be obtained from
holding companies.
From its Investigations of train ac-
cidents the commission S investigators
concluded that the failure of engin-
GERS to obey signals and failure to
provide adequate flag protection TO,
trains continued to be the principal
causes of collisions. The use of auto
matte train control was again recon,
mended.
The investigators also found, the
report says, that there was room for

fair the Prairie Pebble, the Pierce

hour day which prevailed prior to the
strike, it was reported in the Lake
land Star.
Reports that the men had reached
an agreement with the three mine
operators were denied to The Tri-
bune by the operators, who stated
over long distance telephone last
night that they knew nothing of any
settlement, that the ten-hour day
| concession was made several months
ago to the loyal men, and that the
raise in scale to a So minimum was d
matter of two weeks history, having
been granted to such workers as
were on the job or who might be EN-
ployed later.
Manager C. c. Martin of the Prairie
Pebble mine stated that he knew OF
no agreement and that while some OF
his old men had come back and the
mine had employed those it could use
