Two New Moves for Disposal of Peace Treaty Are Made In Senate on
 Eve of Adjournment
tContinued from Page one)

publican majority substituted the
 Knox proposal which would require
 passage by both Senate and House
 and signature by the President for one
 by Senator Lodge, which was designed to secure action by Congress only. The move was taken to mean aban- domnent of any effort to declare state of peace without the concur renee of President Wilson.
 It was said by the republican lead CTS that the Knox resolution would be brought. foEward after the holi- days as a compromise plan, but when Senator Knox reported it for the com mittee he had it put on the calendar so that a majority vote will be re- quired to get it before the Senate. In formal statement Senator Knox declared the whole purpose of his resolution was to break the treaty deadlock and return the nation to peace time basis, while the con- troversy over ratification proceeds. Adoption of the measure, he said, could not interfere with future ratifi- cationsif the Senate found a way to accomplish it.
 PREPOSTEROUS- By Senator Hitchcock the measure and resolution designed to defeat he League of Nations. He predicted 1t never would be passed by the Sem ate, approved by the President, or ac- cepted by Germany. Speaking for the mild reservation republicans, Senator ; Kellogg of Minnesota issued a state nent saying that group had not been consulted about esthe resolution and would not support it until it was l demonstrated that ratification with | reservations was impossible. Senator Kellogg's statement fol- lows:
 "I think I voice the sentiments of Senators McNary of Oregon, Penroot of Wisconsin and others of the mild res srvation republicans. None of us were consulted about the resolution. I want | 1t made clear that we had nothing to ! 10 with it's preparation and are against 1 it until it is established definitely that l we cannot secure adoption of the pres- I ent reservations substantially as now
 ! drafted"
 ! Although from the first an earnest | supporter of ratification without res-
 | srvations, Senator Underwood said in ] presenting his proposal, he now was 1 convinced the paramount consideration
 i was that some sort of compromise be
 worked out quickly. He would be will | ing, if he found it necessary, he said l to accept a ratification which would
 l exclude the League of Nations covenant 1 entirely. Such action, he added, he did | not think necessary.

Butler. their counsel (not being able to get MT. Ogle), and MT. Butler stated that it was perfectly satisfactory. When the Presidents letter and the memorandum briefly embodying his suggestion were published at Indianapolis on the following Tuesday, Thomas T. Brewster, chairman of the scale committee of the operators of the central competitive field, an- ncunced at St. Louis that the proposal met with the unqualified approval of the operators and that the mines were ready to reopen as soon as the men accepted the plan and returned to work The men have accepted the plan; they have re- turned to work production is now talk ing place on a larger scale than in any month of December of many years past.

 '.The operators were not consulted as to the terms and conditions of the agree ment entered into between the govern ment and the miners
