The Senate debated the treaty for
hours yesterday without reaching a

Republican Leader Lodge into the de-
bate by quoting from Senate ad-
dress made by Mr.. Lodge last Decem-
Der declaring it was the duty of this
country to help the new weak ma

Il thought then" said the republic

our duty to help establish certain
states who were to be barrier
against Germany. and to help those
states TO make a start. But when l
made that statement l had not idea
we were to be handed out a document
which would bind us for all time
everywhere.
And since then several things have
happened. We have deprived Poland
of her seaport at Danzig. We have
declined to give France the left bank
of the Rhine, and for that reason we
have pending a treaty of alliance to
protect France. We have meddled at
Fiume. We have taken Thrace from
the Greeks. to whom it belonged. The
government that so manages other
peoples affairs ought to get out of

The cloture rule of the Senate pro-
vides that if at any time a motion

measure is presented to the Senate.
the presiding officer shall at once
state the motion to the Senate, and
one hour after the Senate meets on
the following calendar day, but one,
he shall lay the motion before the
Senate.

voked. Thereafter no senator shall be
entitled to speak in all more than one
hour on the pending measure, the
amendments thereto or motions af-
fecting the same, and it shall be the

COAL CONFEREES
WILL NOTE CHANGE
Different Atmosphere to
Mark Renewal of Nego-
tiations Here.
BY n. O. MESSENGER.

"HeH tHe coal miners and the oper-
ators again take up their conferences
on wages. hours and conditions of
work they will find themselves in a
different atmosphere-and both sides
to the controversy will feel the
change. The representatives of the
miners will not be sensible of the at
mosphere of resentment of officials.
of Congress and of the public at their
threat to starve and freeze the nation
which obtained when last they were
here. gs
For their part, the operators are
likely to quickly sense the attitude
of officials. of Congress and of the
public that they themselves have.
something to give account of. and
that the country will not uphold them
in stubborn insistence upon terms
that may be regarded as unreason-
able.
There Is Third Party.
1t is declared that there is a third
party to this controversy between the
operators and the minerS-the public,
which pays for the coal, and the pub
lie is going to have a look in on the
proce edings.
That statement can be made con-
fidently with a knowledge of the
sentiment which prevails in Congress.
The Congress, while not a party, in
express and implied terms, to the con-
troversy, nevertheless feels itself a
party in interest and with the power
to investigate conditions and ascer-
tain facts having direct bearing upon
the wages of the men and the profits
of the operators. And Congress is set
on hair-trigger right now, eager to
Investigate.
Reaction Favors Miners.
If excessive profits are in fact. as
has been alleged, being enjoyed by
have the coal buying public get
little relief from high prices of coal,
while the miners are securing their
share in increased wages.
There can be no doubt that since
the cancellation of the strike order a
decided reaction has set in. favorable
/ to the miners, in public feeling and
in sentiment in Congress. 1t is be-
! lieved this will be reflected in admin
! istrative and official circles also.
ominous Note in Telegram.
Cognizance was taken today of what
was declared to be an ominous note
in the telegram of Chairman Brewster
of the operators executive commit
tee to President Lewis of the mine
workers, inviting the conference. Mr..
Brewster asked the miners if they
are willing to negotiate contract to
be in force upon the termination of
the contract now in effect"
1t was the termination of this con-
tract that constituted the rock upon
which the last conference split The

that the contract had expired. The
government countered with the claim
that the war is not over until peace

This opinion of the committee is

tee The governments investment in
this property to date is $3.50 1851.
The navy .ard workers offer allows
for a payment of $71,620, as against
this investment. The offer of the
navy yard workers who propose to
erect about 200 detached residences on
this property is to pay s165,000, but
the most of this sum would go on ad-
joining property on which the gov
ernment' has option, which has not
yet been taken over.
The subcommittee feels that 1t will
be a good thing for the National Cap
ital and for the permanency of an
efficient force at the Washington navy
yard to allow these employees to de-
velop this property. There are now
fourteen dormitories with 6S8 rooms
which have never had permanent ten
ants. and a well equipped cafeteria,
