WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-Organ-

The call for the conference was
issued by Samuel Gompers, presi-
den. Of the American Federation of
labor. but Mr.. Gompcrs and other
<labor leaders refused 20 discuss the
probable action of the brotherhood
leaders. Pres't Wilson's Christmas

pointment TO labor leaders, who had
been pleading for a two years eX-
tension OF government control They
agreed. however. that il the rail
roads were to go back it was good

There was no meeting Friday OF

from Washington urging an investi-
cation Of aII persons who represent

lead to the impression that they are
government agencies and by Great

SENATORS VOICE
DISAPPROVALO OF
TREATY TANGLE
G. o. P. Leaders Prepare to
Act Independently of
Pact Foes.
PLAN BRINGING PRESSURE
By Associated Press :

By Associated Press:
WASHINGTON. Dee. 26.-Dissat-
ished with the progress toward solu-
tion Of the peace treaty tangle SEN
ators Of both political parties moved
Friday to bring greater pressure on
their party leaders for a compromise
20 insure ratification promptly on
the reassembling Of congress early
In January.
The mild reservation group Of re-
publicans. notifying their party lead
er Sen. Lodge of Massachusetts,
that in their opinion the time had
come to part company with the ir-
reconcilable foes Of treaty, declared
that unless compromise negotiations
got more wholehearted support from
the republican side. they were pre-
pairing to act Independently for an
agreement with the democrats.
Among the democrats the move
meut was not 50 we'll defined, but
criticism OF the course of Pres't Will
son and sen. Hitchcock of Nebraska,
the acting democratic leader, reach
ed proportions where some predicted
that II soon would be given tangible
form. one prominent democratic
senator was said 20 have told the re-
publicans that more than thirty Of
the forty-seven on that side would
join a movem9,-t 10 rutify the treaty
at once on the best terms they could
get.
Effect is Struggle.
The effect was scrambled situa-
tion In both party organizations
which the leaders seemed confident
they could straighten out but which
the compromise advocates predicted
would greatly strengthen the move
ment for a bipartisan conference OF
those determined 70 ratIfy the treaty
even at the expense of material con
cessions on both sides.
The feeling among those who are
ready TO go ahead without their lead
ers seemed to be that the treaty
deadlock already had been prolong-
ed unnecessarily by too much no
compromise talk. and that both sides
had Overplayed a waiting game in
the house that a break would come
in the opposition. After their con-
ference with Sen. Lodge the mild
reservation republicans seemed con-
Iident that he would take the initia-
tive. if necessary, in carrying the
compromise negotiations forward.
on Monday he saw Sen. Underwood
Of Alabama, a prominent democratic
advocate of a compromise. but it was
said Friday that their talk got no
where.
May Change Plans.
Meantime il became known that
the irreconcilable group OF repub-
licans had been bringing pressure 10
bear 10 induce the party leader not
10 consent TO any compromise pro-
pOsals which did not meet their ap-
proval. Sen. Johnson of California,
one of the leaders of this group tele-
graphed Friday he would change his
plans and return to the capital from
his home state next week.
In the democratic ranks the treaty
situation is complicated by the con-
test between Sens. Hitchcock and
Underwood for choice as party lead
ers, much of the talk for a bi-parti-
san agreement coming from the Tn
derwood supporters.
