TREATY IS
 REPORTED ID THE
 SENATE YESTERDAY
Minority Report, Urging Ratification Wit out Amendment of Reserva-
 tion, to Be Filed Today
By Associated Press

Washington. September 1o.-The Ger man peace treaty, with amendments and It's league of nations covenant, with res ervations, was reported to the Senate to- day by the foreign relations committee. majority of whose members opposed ratification in the form submitted by President Wilson
 immediately after it was presented by Chairman Lodge, two months to the day from the time the President laid it be- fore the Senate, Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska, ranking democratic member of the committee, announced that the minority report, urging ratification with out amendment or reservation, would be filed tomorrow.
 The fight over ratification will begin Monday, Chairman Lodge announcing that the treaty would be taken up then and kept continuously before the Senate. First will come the effort to amend the treaty, and then the fight for reserva- tions, mild or strong.
 Leaders of the administration forces continued to predict today that the treaty with the league covenant would be rat flied in it's original form. Republican leaders have declared, however that if put to vote now the league would be rejected by the Senate. Efforts to reach some agreement on the question of res- ervations meanwhile are being made.

K|LBY GETS HIS REVENUE: BILL IN
 PRACTICALLY THE
 SHAPE HE WANTED
Executive Amendments Are Adopted by House Without Discussion and Sent to
 Senate, Where Majority
 Is Equally Decisive
By w. J. BoLEs

Montgomery, September 10. Special. ) - Governor Kilby gets his revenue bill and prac- tically in the shape he wanted.
 Carrying the executive amendments promised in his communication to Speaker Merritt last Friday, the general revenue bill was returned to house this afternoon. The amendments were adopted without discussion by the vote of 58 to "A, and as thus amend ed immediately sent to the senate.
 While the majority was as decisive in the senate as in the house, more time was spent and more oratory expended in their consideration.
 Senator Evins of Hale declared that the executive amendments did not pro- vide for an appeal to jury trial from or ueIS ol lHe SldIe tdX CoTlHllSSlOIlt ana to that extent at least the governor had failed to keep his promise to the house. Senator Huddleston, in a vitriolic at- tack on the Alabama Power company, charged that Governor Kilby had not kept faith with the representatives.
 The only things necessary to be done now to make the general revenue bill into law is its engrossment, which is to be done between now and next Monday, and the signatures of Lieutenant Gov ernor Miller, Speaker Merritt and Gov ernor Kilby.
 The taxing machinery provided in the executive order is somewhat simpler. than that of the original bill, but it is still more or less complicated in it's op- erations. The district courts are abol- ished.
 The county tax supervisor is changed to tax adjustor.
 The new machinery as provided in the executive amendments consists of state tax commission of three mem- bers, a county adjustor for each coun- ty except Jefferson, which shall have three, and the county commissioners sors and. collectors are retained, but the assessors duties are restricted to the mere listing of property, just a clerical job.
 The tax adjustors will be appointed by the state tax commission for terms of four years, with power of removal

presented with as little formality as if it had been bill to carry on the routine work of the government. There was a larger attendance on the floor than usual, however, indicating the interest in the forthcoming battle.
 On the heels of it's presentation, Sem ator Kenyon, republican, of Iowa, in which state President Wilson made an address in support of the league cove nant, launched bitter attack upon 1t and declared the covenant never could be adopted as it now stands.
 The big crowd in the gallaries broke forth into applause as the Iowa senator concluded, one woman standing up and waving an umbrella in great excitement. There were many references to the treaty in later debate, and tomorrow Senator Harding of Ohio, a republican member of the foreign relations committee, will speak against ratification.

There will be no secret considera- ton of the treaty by the Senate. It Will be discussed and disposed of in open session, Chairman Lodge so announcing today in reply to an inquiry from the Vice President.

ANAlLlNG
 "The American Federation or La ooi brought the situation to the ateeh- tion of the chief executive of this na- tion President Wilson, for the purpose of securing fris cooperation in arrang- ing a conference. Up until the pres- ent time the committee has not been advised that the efforts of the Presi- dent have been any more successfal tban inc efforts of President Gompers and the committee representing the employees.
 .swhile we were engaged in these efforts the most un-American outraGes and unlawful tactics were employed to destroy our unions. In western we were denied the rights of free speech and free assem- bly. owners of meeting places were prevented from permitting our gather ings in their halls.
 "Our organizers have been jailed and fined for attempting to speak to our members. Our meetings have been picketed by hundreds of gunmen, thugs and company officials in an effort to browbeat and intimidate the workers from meeting together to discuss their grievances. Thousands of our mem bers have been discharged for no other reason than having become mem- bers of our union.
 "All of this, with the cold -blooded and brutal murder of seven of our or ganizers and members by steel mill guards and professional gunmen dur ing the past few days. have made 1t impossible to restrain the employees any longer.
 'In view of the stubborn and un- compromising attitude of the steel trust officials, there is no alternative left to the committee except to comply with the demands of the steel workers for release and to declare a strike to become effective Monday, September 22."

ARMY OF 225,OOO
 25O,OOO AMPLE
 DECLARES WOOD
Commander of Central De- partment Differs With the War Department on
 Training Period
Bv AssneIa,ed Press

Washington, September 10.-A reg ular army of 5000 to 35O,oO0, coupled with a system of universal military training that would provide an organ ized reserve is ample for the present needs of the country. Major General Leonard Wood, commander of the cen- tral department, declared today before the Senate military committee. In making his recomm endatons he did not agree wholly with the War Depart ment bill, based on a regular force of 500 1000.
 General Wood also differed from the War Department in the amount of training to be given reservists. He held that three months training was too short and recommended six months. The one point on which he was in accord with the department appeared to be the need of strong general staff. although he said he had not given the administration bill suf- ficient attention to discuss it in detail.
 The central department commander also favored an independent air ser vice, but did not approve creation of an air minister or cabinet officer to head the department. The air forces, he said, worked at times with the army or the navy and at times alone, and under separate organization could be thrown wholly to the aid of either of these services as conditions warranted.
 The main point in preparation of the army was to see that adequate equipment for 100000 reserves was on hand, he said, adding that was where we fell down in this war"
 Questioned as to the need of six lieu tenant generals and 32 major generals of the regular establishment, as pro- posed in the War Deparrment bill, General Wood said the country would "pay them, that's all" One of h.- main objections to the War Depart ment plan, he added, was that it filled up all vacancies leaving nothing for new men in war time and depriving such men of stimulus to good work.
