Senate leaders were hopeful that
the new outbreak, precipitated by Sen
ator Lodges motion to modify the re-
publican reservation on withdrawal
from the League of Nations, might re-
veal means of bringing the oppos-
ing forces together after each has had
its say.
Under the proposed reservation
change, withdrawal from the League
of Nations could be given "by the
President or by congress acting alone
whenever the majority of both houses
may deem it necessary" whereas in
the original reservation, withdrawal
was felt to concurrent resolution
of the congress Of the United States"
Leaders in the debate believe that
it will be several days before vote
is taken on proposals to modify the
reservations Article ten probably
will be left until the last, as the hard
est fight will be made on that section.

lation designed to stabilize coal pro-
ductfon and transportation was intro
duced today by Senator Frelinghuy-
sen, Republican of New Jersey, who
said the advisability of it's enactment

were referred to the senate interstate
commerce committee hearings, would
terminate government control of the

Coal would be transported in spring
and summer at rates Is per cent below
and in winter and fall at Is per cent
above existing tariffs. Appointm ent
OF federal coal commissioner would
be provided with authority to investi-
cation the coal situation and to reg
ulate storage
In presenting the bills, the New
Jersey senator charged Director Cen
eral Hines of the railroad administra-
ton with having used 'ruthless and
illegal methods in handling the coal
situation and with assumption Of pow
e-s which he was not given in the
