WILSON SILENT WHILE SENATE
 HURR|ES BILL
Humility Says President s Mind Is Still Open on Re-
 turn of Railroads MAY GET VOTE ON
 THE CUMMINS ACT Gompers and Followers Ask That Federal Control Be Retained Two Years

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dec. IT, President Wilson's mind is still open on the question of returning the rail roads to private control, Secretary Tumulty today told a delegation re- presenting union labor and some farmers organizations which called at the White House to present letter asking the executive to delay return of roads for two years.
 This was the first authoritative ex- precision on the subject which had enme from administration quarters since the president informed congress last May that Be planned to relinquish federal control by January l.
 May Pass Bill.
 While the delegation was at the White House the senate was speeding up consideration of the Cummins railroal bill and apparently was near ing a final vote. Under the measure the roads would be returned to their owners within 30 days after the bill became law.
 Before going to the White House the union labor and farmers delega- tion, which included Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor and representatives of the railroad brotherhoods, called on Senator Cum mins, chairman of the senate inter- state commerce committee, and ask ed that his bill be withdrawn. He indicated that he would lay the re- quest before the full committee.
 The letter from the labor and farm CTS delegation to the president said proponents of the Cummins bill claim ed that the president planned to re- turn the roads by January l and that some legislation providing for such returh must be enacted immediately.

 Discussion BOTH SIDE MOVE.
 TOWARD COMPROMISE Definite Action on Pact Is E.x- pected by Party Leaders
 in January

WASHINGTON, Dec. I7-Expres- sions that seemed to point toward a reopening of the peace treaty fight within a few weeks, were voiced on the senate floor today when the sub- ject bobbed up in the midst of con sideration of the railroad bill.
 The symposium Of views that went into the record during the brief de- bate. included opinions from virtual ly all factions of the divided senate membership, but they all struck a note of conciliation. Differing wide ly in their suggestions for solution, they stood together on the general proposition that politics ought to be forgotten and that the senate, acing independently of executive opinion, ought to do something promptly to end suspense and establish a state of peace.
 Predict Action
 The discussion reflected the trend of negotiations which have been in progress privately among senators for an agreement that would get the question finally out of the way. There was increased activity in that direc- IlOll OUl tAS uuy anu oOlAC Ol JlC leaders predicted some formal action early in the new year.
 Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, a leader in the "irreconcilable" Repub- lican group of treaty opponents and a member of the foreign relations committee, brought the subject to the floor by another attempt to get be- fore the senate his two resolutions to establish state of peace. The effort was blocked, but he obtained unanimous consent to send the meas ures to the committee, where he eX- poets to rene whis requect for action.
 Both Responsible , Responsibility for the delay was de- clared by Senator Smith to be about "fifty-fifty between the two parties"
 Senator Myers said both parties had been making a political football of the treaty"

Committee Requests Attor- ney to Tell Basis of Strike
 Settlement

Chairman Frelinghuysen announced tonight The attorney general wni be asked to explain tho basis of the agreement which finally ended the strike of bituminous miners ana caused the resignation of former Fuel Administrator Garfield.
 J. w. Dawson, an expert on coal production and cost. who was the only witness heard today by the sen, ate committee, expressed the belief that the present wages paid miners were sufficient. and that "any in- creases granted them must eventual ly come from the public's pocket"
 No Big Profits
 Coal operators are not making big profits this year" Mir Dawson said. "and in my opinion they cannot en- tirelv absorb the 14 per cent increase which the government has already all lawed"
 Senator Frelinehuysen asked the witness to suggest a method of avoid ing nationwide strikes such as that just ended.
 President Wilson and Attorney General Palmer took the best method when they started out to make the miners union obey the Lever law. and call of the strike" Dawson replied.
 But later they reversed that posi- tion," Senator Frelinghuysen inter jected.
 unfortunately, yes.'' responded Dawson. f-
 The United Mine Workers union collects annually 100000 in dues. Dawson told the committee, and ought to be held responsible for contracts.
 You can't have collective bargain ing unless both men and employers can be made to live up to their con tracts" he added.
