Representative Anthony, Kepublcah' >
of Kansas. told the House postoticc
committee today in urging favorable
action on his bill to limit 10 twenty
four pagcs daily newspapers and pc.
riodicals using the second class mail
privilege.
The present acute paper shortage, he
said. is due largely to the capacity
of the great city dnilics and some mag
azines. The larger newspapers, he
added. could eliminate fifty or more
pages of feature, comic and magazine
matter published in Sunday editions.
without loss to the public.
The volume of advertising should be
drastically reduced during the present
shortage. he said
Replying to Chairman Steenerson.
Representative Anthony said he had
heard that some advertisers had great
ly increased their expenditures for ad
vertising to avoid payment of excess
profits tax. but he attributed the bulk
of the increased advertising to the post
war resumption of normal commercial
activities.
The present shortage of newsprint
paper" he continued, ''is due largely
TO the rapacity of the great publishing
companies which are buying up every
pourd of newsprint they can lay theii
hands on. The country and small city
publishers cannot meet this powerful
competition.
Mr.. Anthony read letter from
former Representative Charles Il. Scott
publisher of the lola tKansas) Dali!
Register. who declared that while {
few great newspapers might find it
hardship TO comply with the Anthon!
bill more than 2500 small papers fac
extinction unless some such Legislation
were passed.
The situation is all but tragic" tn
letter said. The small papers are jus
as important to the people of the Unite,
| States as are the great city dailies.'
Jason Rogers. publisher of the Ney
York Globe, speaking in favor of til
| bill, declared that some great news
papers were proiiteering at the expens
of all the others by publishing larg
editions and carrying great quantitie
of advertising.

REACH AGREEMENT
ON RAIL OVERTIME
Federal Administration and

Terms
TIME AND HALF FOR EXTRA

Washington, Dec. 1J.-(By A. =. -
Under an agreement between the rail
road administration and the four broth
crhoods of train and enginemen, an
nounced today, time and half for
overtime in slow freight service will
become effective as OF December I.
All arbitraries and special allowances
formerly applicable between terminals
were eliminated, but special allow
ances for switching and similar work
at initial terminals were preserved
These, however, will be at the old
rate.
Allowances for switching and de-
lays at the final terminals arc pre-
served, payable at the former rates
where the work is performed prior
to the overtime period" the announce
ment said. ''These allowances have
been agreed to in the past for reliev-
ing men of work which has not been
considered part Of their regular du :
ties and correspondingly it is felt that
the same conditions existed in connec-
tion with the payment of time and one =

President Widens
Breach on Treaty
Continued From Page One

Continued From Page One
philanthropists and idealistS were chief
ly interested in the fate of the treaty.
Today ii is the business men and the
chambers of commerce that are writing
letters and passing resolutions urging
action.
1t is difficult to see how action can
be postponed until after ii new Presi-
dent comes into office. If the grave
condition of foreign exchange should
begin to affect seriously the. pruSppi ttN
of the country the pressure for ratlti-
cation would become almost irresist-
ible.
Substitute Peace Plans Doomed
And it is plain that there can be no
peace except through the adoption of
the present treaty, with such reserva-
tions as the Senate and the President
may agree upon. The plan to declare
peace by resoltion of Congress, or to
| effect peace by means of the Knox
resolution are doomed to failure. The
| President will never consent to any sub
stitute for his treaty and the Repnb-
leans admit the constitutionality they
are powerless to effect a peace which
does not meet his approval
There is certain revolt on the Demo
cratic part of the Senate over the Pres
ident's latest uttcrance. Certain Dem
ocratic Senator's all along have taken
the position that the White House has
been too uncompromising. They have
been inclined to blame Senator Hitch
cock for giving the President bad advice.
But it is certain this latest step OF the
Presidents was not taken upon me
advice of Senator Hitchcock, but on the
Presidents own initiative, and It has
all along been the President, not Sena .
tor Hitchcock. who has been responsible
for the uncompromising attitude OF the
Democrats.
Underwood Taken by Surprise
Senator Underwood. Mr.. Hitchcock {
rival for the Senate leadership, was one
of the most surprised among the minor
ity over the latest White House utter
ancc. Mr.. Underwood has always beer
for compromise, and he is credited nov
with desire to force compromise.
But these Democratic revots do moi
get very far. From the first it has beer
said that the President could not hole
his party against the Lodge resolutions
vet he held all but four or five of then
upon the important issues. And TN
treaty is becoming more and more
nartisan issue 1t is harder for th'
democrats to break away from thel
2 party than it was a few months ago.
And the same argument apples u
, the mild rescrvationist Republicans
! There is much talk of compromise, bu
compromise really is not ms near as
2 has been several times in the past AM
the Presidents statement has made l
more remote.
The leaders on both sides are obsti
. nnte. The national campaign is ap
i proaching and the league of nations l
already involved III politics. Both side
are playing it in a rather petty way
Y Nothing but such a business situation
!. as will force both sides to make con
g cessions is likely to bring about tn
ratification of the treaty.
