MILD DG.O.P. GROUP
 ISSUE ULTIMATUM
Break With Bitter Enders and Ratify Treaty"-Demo- cratic Ranks Also Show Im- patience With Leadership.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Dissatisfied with the progress made toward solu- tion of the peace treaty tangle, sena- tors of both political parties moved today to bring greater pressure on their party leaders for compromise to insure ratification promptly on the reassembling of Congress early in January.
 The mild reservation group of Re- publicans, notifying their party lead CT, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, that in their opinion the time had come to part company with the ire conciliable foes of the treaty, de- clared that unless compromise nego- tiations got more wholehearted SUD- port from the Republican side they were preparing to act independently for an agreement with the Demo- crats.
 Among the Democrats the move ment was not so we'll defined, but criticism of the course of President Wilson and Senator Hitchcock of Ne braska, the acting Democratic leader, reached proportions where some pre- dicted that it would soon be given tangible form. One prominent Demo- cratic senator was said to have told the Republicans that more than 30 of the AT on that side would join move ment to ratify the treaty at once on the best terms they could get.
 The effect was scrambled situa- tion in both party organizations, which leaders seemed confident they could straighten out but which the compromise advocates predicted would greatly strengthen the move, ment for a bipartisan conference of those determined to ratify the treaty even at the expense of material con- sessions on both sides.
 The feeling among those who are ready to go ahead without their lead CTS seemed to be that the treaty dead lock already had been prolonged un- necessarily by too much no-compro- lmise talk, and that both sides had foverplayed waiting game in the hope that break would come in the opposition.
 After their conference Sunday with Senator Lodge the mild reservation Republicans seemed confident that he would take the initiative, if necessary, in carrying the compromise negotia- tions forward. On Monday he saw Senator Underwood of Alabama, a prominent Democratic advocate of a compromise, but it was said today | that their talk got nowhere. Meantime, it became known that the irreconcilable group of Republi- cans had been bringing pressure to. | bear to induce the party leaders not to consent to any compromise pro- posals which did not meet their ap- lproval.
 Senator Johnson of California, one of the leaders of this group, tele- graphed today that he would change his plans and return to the capital --------------------- &N

amounted to $3,193.01. and in the sec ond year f191S-19) the small sum of but $230.20; so it would appear that if extensive repairs had been made in 191S-1919 the wharf and coal profit of $2,524.S9 would have been absorbed.
 In view of the fact that the city is now paying more for longshore hire, about three times as much for piling and caping and a substantial in crease in aft supplies incidental to the operation and up-kccp of the wharf, than they have been compelled to pay in former years, and that ex- tensive repairs have been made to the wharf during the past. summer. it Is our opinion that it is almost incumbent upon this. administration to either raise the wharfage rates es to increase the price, of coal.
 Reverting again to the coal prices will say it is our opinion that the operation of coal yard on the city wharf adds to the deterioration of said wharf to a considerable extent, therefore the price of coal should be fixed to take care of just portion of this rehabilitation expense.

WINTER DELAYS WORK
 OF COMP ANY
New Canadian Trading Company HaIts Work of Establishing New
 Tradinq Posts

NOME. Oct. 20--(By mail - Early Arctic winter has halted the summer work of an expedition, headed by Captain Louis Lane, of Nome, sent by Boston, Mass, in- terests into the Canadian Arctic to establish string of twenty eight trading posts. k# f
 The new company plans to oper- ate in a section of the continent in which the British Hudson's Bay Company has worked for more than two centuries trading supplies for the furs caught by the Natives. A big Boston fur company, it is said, Is behind the enterprise.
 fThe expedition went into the north overland through Calgary, Canada, last summer with approx imately eight carloads of goods and supplies, said to be worth s240,- 900. The company also sent in a Mackenzie River, which drains nor thern Canada and along which the company intends to operate. The boat was sent in in sections and was assembled when it reached the headwaters of the river.
 This summer was spent by the expedition in working down the Mackenzie. The men expected to reach Herschel Island, near the mouth, by winter. Instead, they reached the vicinity of Fort Nc Pherson, on the lower reaches of the river. They probably will win ter at Fort McPherson and proceed on to the Arctic ocean in the early summer
 After getting established the com pany will supply its trading posts from Nome Boats with goods and supplies will be sent from here around Point Barrow and along the Arctic coast to the company's stations on the Mackenzie.

.REpORt Is MADE
 ON CITY DOCK BY COMMITTEE
City Council Committee Reviews Price of Coal
 As Handled by the City Dock

A committee appointed by the city Council to investigate the price of
 coal at the city dock, local dealer
 having made aScemplaint that the
 city was not charging enough, has submitted the following report to the city council which wac accepted and referred to the street and wharf
 committee:
 Juneau, ,Alaslca, Nov. 20, 1919.
 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Juneau. l Sirs:- s Your committee appointed to in vesugate tho coal situation beg te
 report as follows; M #. An investigation as to the cost Of the last lot of coal shows the price te be $10.6S put in the bunkers. Tho selling pricc of this same coal is a. l follows: .s ,s Minc Rum ........,............. $11.50 Screened ...A..-............-... 1900 Screenings .-..-s...... zoo A months sale of coal shows thai 373 tons of coal were sold at an 1 average of $11,64 1-3 per ton or [ gross profit. of 96 1-3 cents per ton According to city records the only | charge in the nature of overhead ex.
 pcnse is the salary of ono of the as sistant wharfingcrs, in the amount O. $125. The salary cost to sell this
 amount of coal is 46 cents per ton reducing the gross profit of 96 l.;
 cents per ton to 50 1-3 cents per ton net profit. F
 As no other overhead expense has
 been allowed your committee takes the liberty of adding to the coal ac count tho sum of $50 to cover th rent, light and water charges. Thi. charge now reduces the net profit from 50 1-3 cents per ton to 32 cents Of course if tho volume of business
 was heavier tho percentage of over 1 head expense would be lighter, and
 tho net profit higher, and while you l committee is uncertain GS to what
 would constitute an average months business commensurate with an over
 head expense of $175; nevertheless
 we think the amount of sales is ir
 proportion to !, that amount of over head
 The municipal wharf and coal busi l ness is so closely allied we think i'
 Is we'll in considering a fair price on l coal to investigate the wharf and
 coal reports for 4he past two years, and as the figures about to be quoted
 are taken from the city clerks an
 nual reports, of course their authen- city will not be questioned In thee year 1917-18 the coal ac-
 count shows g, deficit of s639.54.. ard 1 the wharf account a deficit of $900.19.
 In the year 191S-19 the coal account
 shows 2 profit, of $1,131, and the 1 wharf account profit of $1,393.S9 s For the sake of clarity we will put the figures as follows.

 Nashville, Tenn.-Plans for an evan gelistic movement which will cover the entire South and operate in 10000 churches at the same time are being formulated by the Centenary Commis. sion and the evangelistic committee oi the M E.. Church, South.
 Bishop U. " w. Darlington is tho chairman of the joint directing com. mittee and Dr. o. E. Goddard is the executive secretary.
 Standard Plan Made.
 The movement will operate accord. ing to standard plan. This plan pro. vides for a preliminary survey of the entire South to discover what persons are not affiliated with any religious denomination.
 Dr. A. c. Zumbrunnen is in charge of the survey, and he has made pre-. liminary investigations ill a large number of typical sections as samples to guide pastors in surveying their own fields.
 When these surveys are completed the evangelistic movement will be launched in an effort to interest all non-church members whose names have been secured.
 It has been estimated that half a million workers will be enlisted to personally interview the persons who have no church membership.
