rectors of the United States Steel

SENATE HOLDS
UP ACTION ON
JOHNSON PLAN
G. 0. P. Leaders Decide
On ,PostPonement-
Noise Bothers.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-Republi-
can senate leaders decided today
to defer for several days consid-
GRAFTON of the amendment TO the
peace treaty by Senator johnson,
Republican, California, proposing
equal voting strength in the
League of Nations between the
United States and Great Britain.
Formal reading of the treaty bill
will be continued for a time.
Senator Johnson, who has been
speaking in the middle west
against the league plan, returned
here today. 1t was said he would
stay at home until tomorrow. By
telephone he conferred with Re-
publican leaders and the plan to
postpone his amendment tempor-
arily was agreed to.
Will Limit Applause.
The question of dealing with
senate demonstrations during the
debate on the treaty also was dis
cussed at conferences today. Sen
ator Lodge said it was not planned
to abrogate the senate rule against
applause, but to insist that dem
onstrations be limited strictly to
the conclusion of senator's ad-
dresses.
How to put an end to demonstra-
tions in the galleries during dis
cussion of the peace treaty is
troubling senators almost as much
as the League of Nations.
Proves Big Problem.
Although applause by the gall
leries-a direct violation of senate
rules-has been more or less of a
problem since the treaty was
brought before the senate "in open
session." the more important rule
was brought to a decisive stage
yesterday. when after Senator
Reed, Democrat. Missouri. had
concluded a four-hour attack on
the league the galleries applauded
Men .clapped their
hands and stamped their feet in
approval of the Missouri senator's
speech while women waved their
arms and shouted
When Senator Ashhurst, Demo-
crat, Arizona, a league supporter,
arose to condemn the action of the
galleries he was met with a wave
of kissing. Attempts of President
Pro Tempore Cummins to stop the
were in vain.
Suggestions came from several
senators today that the galleries
be closed during treaty debate, but
this met the objection of the pro-
ponents of the plan to conduct the
treaty fight in open session.
