washington, Nov. 5.-Plans to wind
up the fight over peace treaty amend
ments miscarried again today. the
senate adiourning after six hours of
speech making, with three proposed
amendments confronting 4. while
there had been only two in the morn
ing.
The only vote taken was on the pro-
posal OF Senator IaFollette. republi-
can, Wisconsin, to strike out the
treaty's labor provisions. and after it
had been rejected, AZ to "a, two new
amendments dealing with the league
of nations covenant were prepared by
Senator Borah, republican. Idaho. On
these and on the amendment of SEN
ator Gore. democrat, oklahoma. to
prohibit war without an advisory vote
of the people, the leaders hope to get
final action tomorrow,
The prospect for final roll call on
the treaty still is complicated by un-
certainty as to what course may be
adopted by the group which is stand
ing out irreconciliably against any
sort of ratification.
la Toilette Grills Wilson.
It had been the expectation of the
leaders on both sides TO wipe the slate
clean of amendments by voting on the
Gore proposal Immediately after the
defeat Of the labor amendment today
Instead Senator La Toilette got the
floor and launched into an extended
address critieising President Wilson
for the method in which the treaty
was negotiated When he had been
speaking for two hours he let it be
known that he was only about half
through and a recess was taken until
tomorrow.
Later, notice was given of the two
new Borah amendments which pro-
pose to exempt the United States from
The provisions of Articles 10 and II
and which are expected to develop
considerable debate.
Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri
talked for more than two hours, He
opposed hasty action and said he
would present 4 proposal for an ad-
vtsory popular vote on the question of
ratification.
Much bitterness was evidenced dur
ing the days debate. and at one point
Vice President Marshall interrupted
Senator Reed to warn him that he
was violating senate rules by com
pairing reservation senators to "hound
dogs" Later, when President pro
tenn Cummins was in the chair, SEN
ator La Toilette enlarged upon the
figure by declaring legislators had
laid down like spaniel dogs at the
crack OF the executive whip"
