Colombian 1 act
TO Be DELAYED
Until December
Treaty Approved by Fall
Committee To BE Report
ed To-day to the Senate
and Put on Calendar
No Amendment Necessary
Protection for Z. S. Oil
and Mining Interests
Is Considered Assured

WASHINGTON, June (By The As
socated Press. = Recommendation
that the long pending treaty with Co
lomb;a, growing out of the partitioning
of Panama, be reported back to the
Senate for final action were made to
day by a subcommittee. The sub-com-
mlttee had been appointed to draft an
amendment to protect American Oil
and mining interests from the opera
tlon of a Presidential decree, regarded
by some Senators as confiscatory.
The subcommittee, of which Sena-
tor Fall, Republican, of New Mexico,
Is chairman, said an amendment was
unnecessary because the Supreme
Court of Colombia had declared in
valid not only the Presidential decree
but legislation along similar lines pre-
sented IN the Colombian Congress.
On Calendar To-day
The report was approved by the full
committee late to-day and the treaty
VIII be placed on the calendar to-mor~
row. Senators said it probably would
not be acted on until the Senate re-
convencs in December
The treaty provides for the payment
of S25,000,000 to Colombia by the
United States.
The original draft of the treaty was
signed by Colombia in 1914, but subse-
quently was changed by the State De
partment to meet objections of Sena-
tors. who opposed, especially the clause
in which the United States expressed
regret over the paruitloning Of Pan
anna.
When the treaty was taken up in
the Senate last summer it was under
stood that Colombia had agreed to the
changes. The sub committee in it's re-
port said. however, that State Depart
ment records did not show that Co.
lombia had given its approval
The committee added that the Colon
ban Minister in Washington had un-
deHtakcn to obtain from his govern
mant assurances that the present draft
would be acceptable.
Diplomatic misunderstanding
Before the Colombian Supreme Court
passed on the Presidential decree the
subcommittee had drafted an amend
mont the character of which was com
munlcated to the Colombian govern
mcnt through Minister Philip, at 30
gotta, who at the same time svg-
gested the tender Of his resig-
nation to the Safe Department. He
explained that his position had
been made untenable b. the action Of
the State Department in negotiating
with the Senate and with the Colon
bian Minister in Washington instead Of
with him.
At the State Department to-day it
was said that nothing was known about
the offer of MIR. Philip to tender his
resignation. Mr.. Philip still is Minis

Scale.
Ry Aerociated Press to Every Evening.


Newbern, n. c., Dec. 30.-The profit
sharing system as a means OF averting
strikes was in state of collapse today as
far as the Newbern Iron Works and it's
employees were concerned. One week q

pay envelopes ten per cent shy and today
the plant was idle with the men on strike
for their old wage scale.
Four weeks ago rs cents an hour was the
scale in the foundry and machine works.
A ten per cent wage reduction WAS order
ed on the ground that it would be neces-
sary to cut expenses or close the plant.
A one day strike followsd,
Another ten per cent lowering of the
scale was soon proposed but the sugges-
tion by workman that the company run
the plant, deduct actual operating and
overhead expenses and divide that part
of the income termed profits was
agreed to as an experiment. Last Friday
the men received amounts equalling 20
per cent reductions from tho old wage of
rs cents an hour. Yesterday strike was
called.
The strikers declared today they in
tended TO remain idle until the old wage
scale was restored. Company officials
said it would be necessary To keep the
plant closed unless the employees made
concessions.
