Mexican government. He added that
the original letter had been recovered
from the Puebla postofice, translated
in the Foreign Office and then de-
liyered with all precaution to the
American Embassy. Mitchell reiterated
his charges published previously, in
Guiding one that Jenkins arranged FOR
false kidnapping as part of an inter-
ventionist plot.
George T. summerlin, Charge
d'Atfaires Of the American Embassy,

nection with the charges of Mitchell.

charges and other details would be

tions adopted in the Senate, when as
a matter Of fact the resolution contain

and we have now reconsidcred the mo-
ton by which that defeat occurred"
Ledge Clings to Position
| "What was defeated was the reso-
luton Of ratification with the reser-
| walton appended" Senator Lodge con-
tended. "There is no doubt the reser-
vations we're adopted think the
description is accurate"
Senator Hitchcock then moved to
strike out the words reservations
adopted by the Senate"
NJ think 1t mistake to adopt that
course, and hope it will not be DONE"
Senator Lodge urged
II agree with the Senator from Ne
braska,' Senator Underwood, Of Ala
bama, interjected, chat if the Senator
from Massachusetts insists on his mo-
ton it puts members of the Senate on
the Democratic side in the embarrass-
ing tttitude of ordering the report of
reservations they did not favor. There
take up the treaty. They desire to CO.
operate with the Senator from Massa-
chusctts in his effort to take it up,
hut do not desire to be placed in posi-
tion of voting for proposals they mega
tived by their vote when the matter
was in the Senate before"
Lodge Plan Is Adopted
There followed n long debate as to
the Lodge motion to recommit to the
Foreign Relations Committee by a re-
quest for unanimous consent to dis
solve the cloture. Senators on both
sides, participating at this juncturc,
left no doubt as to the general desire
to dispense with cloture and to make
sure that the procedure adopted would
bring the treaty back entirely free of
the old cloture adopted last session.
Senator Norris inquired as to the
status, if unanimous consent should be
given for reconside ration of all the
votes and the treaty be taken up and
considered as when originally reported
from the committee on Foreign Rela-
tions. Senator Lodge replied:
at would be with all the amend
ments reported from the committee,
some fifty in number, and carrying
the fifteen reservations. 1t would open
up the whole debate which arose when
the treaty was reported from the COM
mittee.'
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, de-
ciared the discussion to be "a waste
Of time" He objected to the Hitch
cock motion. Friends of the treaty
are agreed he said, "as to the in
tent of the Lodge motion. which merely
is parliamentary move to free the
treaty from cloture."
After some further discussion Sem
ator Hitchcock withdrew his motion
and the Lodge proposal to recommit
with instructions to report it out with
the Lodge reservations was adopted
viva voce
Norris Defends Objection
Senator Norris spoke at length later
IN the Senate on his point Of order
against Senator Lodges motion.
Under general parliamentary law
1T is never in order to reconsider any
proposition second time" Senator
Norris contended. Neither is it in
order to reconsider after as much time
has elapsed as has elapsed since the
Senate defeated the treaty on Novem-
ber 49,
"Thc treaty is dead, just as Senator
Lodge said after the vote on Novem-
ber 10, and there is no way to get the
treaty before the Senate again unless
the President resubmits it,

been recalled by others that at the
time demands we're originally made
last August, the brotherhoods served
notice that unless the government
should succeed In bringing down the
cost of living the employees would have
to get more pay or they would strike.
1t is known that there has been some
suggestion among the railroad workers
OF calling a strike as means of in
tlmidating Congress and forcing that
body to extend the period of Federal
control.
Officials of the railroad administra-
ton declared tonight they had made
no effort to strike total on what the
pending demands of all the railroad
workers would amount to If granted !;
nor were they able to estimate the ag-
gregate amount involved in the de-
mands OF the maintenance of ways and
railway shop laborers.
An unofficial forecast of the earnings
of the railroads during 1919, recently
obtained, discloses in graphic way
now the successive wage increases dur
ing the period of Federal operation of
the roads have been responsible for
appreciated net returns and for the
Whereas the gross revenues for 1919
established a new high record, exceed
ing IS, 600, 100000, the high cost Of labor
and materials consumed so large q
part Of the receipts that the net re-
turn. on the total railroad investment
fell to 2& per cent, a new low record
In other words, under the terms of
the railroad bill about to pass Con-
gress guaranteeing as51s per cent net
return to the roads the Interstate
Commerce Commission, in order to
establish this minimum guaranty, will
have to increase rates to an extent
that will just double the gross revc-
nues of the roads

Hines Is Expected
To Refuse Demands
OF Railroad Workers

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9-Belief that
Director General Hines will refuse to
grant the wage increases demanded
by more than 100000 railroad workers
continued to grow to-day.
AS the union officials prepared for
what railroad administration officials
declared likely. would be the last con-
ference tomorrow, indications were
strong that bare concession of ad-
justment of alleged inequalities in pay
would be the sum total of changes per-
mitted in the present wage agreements
Representatives of the workers have
prepared restatement of their case
for submission tomorrow to Mr.. Hines.
All declined to discuss its contents, but
it was understood to be counter
proposition to the views of Mr.. Hines,
as thus far laid before the conference.

Looking Hopefully

Berlin Paper Says Ameri-

Soon. Will Be Convinced
of What Europe Needs
By William C. Dreher

fby wireless to The Tribune)
Copyright. 1920. New York Tribune Inc,
BERLIN, Feb. 9.-German financial
authorities are eagerly watching the
development of plans for an interna-
tional economic conference and are
turning hopefully toward it as means
OF clarifying the troubled situation.
"Die Frankfurter Zeitung" to-day
discusses Secretary Glass's letter to
Congress asking for the appropriation
Of S150.00o,00o for European relief,
but the newspaper finds little en-
couragement in it for relief OF the
financial crisis. 1t says:
The people Ill the United States
do not seem to comprehend the vast
ness of Europe's financial misery. Pri-
vate credits hardly will suffice to meet
Europe's most modest demands.
There is, however, no reason why
we should despair Men like William
Howard Taft and Herbert Hoover have
signed memorial favoring the call
ing of an international economic con-
ference. and the United States will
not prevent the attendance of Amer
ican delegates, according to Mr.. Glass.
III the conference is held, as all
signs indicate it will be, the United
States will be represented by experts
who will be able to convince them
selves what is needed and what must
be done to avert world catastrophe
which would not leave America un-
touched.
Europe needs not only American
money but American counsel, which
is almost as necessary Many intelli-
gent warnings have come to our CON
tinent. Secretary Glass's letter con-
tains the political principles which
European peoples must needs take to
heart. Through American influence
reason again may become sovereign"
