SCOPE IF FPROPAGANDA
 INVESTIGATION

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-A new in vestigation into radical organizations was authorized today when the senate voted to conduct an inquiry into ac- tivities of Russian prOpagandists. The inquiry will be directed by the foreign relations committee, under a resolu- tion adopted this afternoon.
 The resolution limited the investi- gation to the activities of l.. c. A. K. Martens, self styled ambassador to this country from the Russian Soviet government. The senate, by vote of 32 to p, adopted an amendment by Senator Borah, extending the resolu- tion to include "all facts relative to the activity of others relating to Rus sian propaganda in this country"
 Senator King denounced Martens for his alleged propaganda in this country and said it seemed as though some persons in the labor department were more inclined to protect Martens than to enforce the law.
 ''I know" said Senator Borah, that millions of dollars are being expended, if I am informed correctly, that ought to be expended in this country, with out it being known for what purpose it is being expended"

WASHINGTON, Dec 20 The peace treaty controversy was revived in it's ull vigor today.
 Two new moves for tn eformal es- tablishment of peace, one by ratifica- tion of the treaty and the other with out, were the agencies which reopen ed the fight Neither proposal got anywhere, but it generally was con ceded that the days work would help bring to focus early in January the trend of senate opinion toward some cort of settlement.
 The suggestion which caused the greater stir came fro mSenator Un- derwood who proposed a resolution for appointment of committee of ten senators to work out a compro- mise ratification of the treaty He asked for immediate action, but Sen ator Lodge forced the resolution over until after the holidays.
 The other move came from Senator Knox of Pennsylvania who secured approval of the foreign relations com mittee for resolution to repeal the declaration of war and to demand of Germany, on pain vI uu economic boycott, all the material benefits pro vided for under the unratified treaty. The mild reservation group of Repub- licans asserted they would not SUD- port such a measure.

Measure Will Go to Early Conference With House
 for Adjustment
RETAIN CLAUSE TO
 PREVENT WALKOUTS
Permanent Reorg aniaztion Legislation Is Expected
 Next Month

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. - The Cummins bill, paving the way for re- turn of the railroads to private oper- ation, passed the senate late today by a vote of 46 to 30, making the holiday recess of congress possible. It went through without change in the anti-strike and other important provisions around which the senate measure was drawn, and was sent to conference for adjustment during the recess with the Esch bill, passed by the house November IT. Final en- actment of the permanent railroad reorganization legislation is hoped for by leaders early next month.
 End in Doubt
 The ultimate disposition of the railroad problem, however, still is in doubt as the senate and house bills will be in conference and congress in recess on January 1, the date previously set by President Wilson for the return of the line sto their owners. No further word regarding his present intention has reached congress.
 Unless vetoed by the president, the pending legislation, according to plans of congressional leaders, would require return of the roads by Janu- ary 31. The railroad administration however, has plans ready for their return January 1. under presi- dential proclamation, should MT. Will son adhere to his announced program.
 The Cummins bill was supported by thirty-three Republicans and 13 Democrats and opposed by eight Re publicans and 22 Democrats.
