Friends of the Treaty are Making
Every Possible Effort to Have Vote
On Ratihcation Taken as soon M
PONsibIe

Washington, Nov. 12-Summary action
to choke down debate on the peace
treaty was decided on by the treaty'a
friends in the Senate to-day to meet de-
velopments regarded by many senator's
as the beginning of fIibuster against
ratification.
Two petitions to invoke the Senate's
cloture rule which never heretofore has
been used were prepared for submission
tomorrow should 1t become apparent tina,
dnatory tactics have been adopted by the
group irreconclieby opposed to the
treaty. The first proposal was drawn
by the democrats and the others were
being formulated tonight by the mild
reservation group of republicans
Under the rule, which could be made
effective beginning Saturday by two
thirds vote. no senator could speak more
than one hour In all until a vote on ratif-
cation had been reached. No specinc
time could be set under the provisions
for such vote. but the leaders predicted
that Il would force final action, II re-
sorted to, early next week.
To further hasten the treaty II vne
tentatively agreed to hold night sessions
or the Senate beginning tomorrow night
and continuing until there has been n
ratification vote.
The movement for cloture was started
after Senator Reed, democrat. Missouri
had launched into another long speech
attacking the treaty and Senators
LaFollette. Wisconsin. and Francis,
Maryland republicans, had indicated they
were ready TO continue the fxhs Us soon
as the Missouri senator concluded
Senator Reed occupied all of to-day's
three hour session and inttmated at att-
Journment that he would continue for
several hours tomorrow.
Suspecting that the long antiefpatsd
hnbuster was. Senator Hitchcock Of Me-
braska. the acting democratic leader. and
Senator Underwood. democrat, Alabama
circulated on tho democratic side Il petit
ton for cloture. 1t soon had more than
twice tho sixteen SIGNATURES needed to
secure vote on invocation Of the rule.
The republicans acted more slowly, the
mild reservation group being fearful OF
alternating the irreconctables on whose
votes they are counting for a safe ma
jority to put over the reservation pro-
gram of the foreign relations committee,
Late In tho day. however Senator Hale
of Maine. one OF the mild reservation
signed and got the requisite number of
signers.
Although processing 10 be anxtou ror

SPECIAL SESSION TO
REPEALJL|CENSE
Said to Cost Less Than
Vote In Town
Meetings

Montpelier. Nov. 12.-Harry 4. Black.
secretary of state. is arranging for the
next annual town meetings in the severa!
towns and is studying the proposition of
what to do about the liquor license vote
in the several towns. Under the present
law it provides that the vote on druggist
license and on local option must be taken
unless the Legislature meets before that
time
Mr.. Black will send out the ballots
which are provided that he shall send
under the law Of the State. The attorney
general of Massachusetts has already
held that the voting must occur in that
State, but Mr.. Black feels there is no
question about the law governing his
actions in Vermont In the same matter.
The expense of holding a special ses
sion of the Legislature is estimated as
less to the several towns to repeal the
law than II would he to these towns If
lie voting on the two forms of licenses
is taken as now provided by the law. 1t
will be recalled that an effort was made
in the last session Of the Legislature to
repeal the law providing the prohibition
amendment went into effect, which It

conciliation new agreemen; could be
framed and ratified by Saturday night.
Until an agreement is formally accepted
by the miners scale committee. labor
leaders said there was little hope of full
resumption of coal production.
J. was because of this possibility and
the steady drain meanwhile on the ma
tons visible coal supply that Secretary
Wilson undertook to-day to induce some
of The miners and operators to see the
other fellows side.
The indicated continued suspens sion
of mining activity in union fields to-
