DEMOCRATS TO
FIGHT R. R. BILL
Sims, House Leader, Announces
He Will Not Sign Confer
ence Report.
BACKED BY COLLEAGUES
Object to Guaranteed Income
and Continuance of U. s.
Rental Payments.
BACKED BY COLLEAGUES

Special 10 TAn SuE AND Npw YoRK HERALD
tKagiftsdroN. Feb. 10.--House Dem.
ocrats have determined to fight the
conference report on the railroad bill
mainly because of the provisions that
rates shall. be adjusted to guarantee
the roads a return Of 515 per cent. on
their aggregate property value and
that standard rental guaranteed dur
ing Federal operation shall be con-
tinued six months after the return OF
the roads to private ownership.
Representative Sims (Tenn.), leader
of the House Democratic conferees
has informed the minority leaders OF
the House that he will not sign the
conference report because of these
guarantee provisions and will file a
minority report in protest against
their inclusion in permanent railroad
legislation.
As a result Of conference Of House
Democratic leaders, Il became known
that the position Of Mr.. Sims will be
backed and made party issue when
the bill as agreed to by the Senate and
House conferees is submitted to the
House for action. This probably Will
be the latter part OF the week. Repre-
sentative Kltchin. former Democratic
leader. and other prominent members
of the party have made known their
Intentions to wage a determined fight
against the measure on the floor. The
posltion of the leading Democrats is that
the railroad measure should contain no
guarantee provisions on the grounds that
this in reality amounts to Government
subsidy for private business.
Tho Democrats are claiming that their
purpose in opposing the report Is not
to prevent the passage Of railroad legis-
lation before March 1, the date set by
President Wilson for return OF the roads
to their owners, but solely 10 eliminate
the guarantee provisions from the meas
ure
Mr.. Sims, however, has advocated
form of Government ownership and has
opposed the return Of the roads to their
owners at this time, even to the extent
Of supporting tho proposal Of organized
labor that the roads should be held for
\ period of two years.
What effect the Democratic fight will
have in delaying the passage of the leg
slation 30 necessary to inc return or the
roads Is problematlcal. House Repub-
lean leaders are determined to pass the
railroad bill in ample time to allow the
handing back Of the roads with the least
possible. Nothing less than
.haos VIII result II legislation IS not
passed
The parliamentary procedure of the
House Is such that the Republicans, by
heir majority. can force through the
Measure over the Democratic protests
With little delay. but should similar
move be made by Senate Democrats
ilibuster might block the measure.

Kansas probably will prose-

of the railway maintenance Of
way and shop laborers union If
they call a strike in Kansas, it
was announced to-day by at
torneys connected with the in
dUstrial relations courts. The
proposed strike order would be
violation of the new State law.
Gov. Allen announced to-day
when he learned of the proposed
rail strike that "the Kansas laws
will be enforced" and that "if
some one outside of Kansas
orders some one in Kansas to
violate the law, and he does
violate it, we will find out
whether or not there is a man, or
a set of men, bigger than the
laws of this State"
The Governor holds that
Kansas anti-strike laws cannot
be violated under the shield of
Interstate commerce. He also
intimated that Kansas might
start extradition proceedings
against labor union leaders in
other States who order Kansas
workers to strike.

DEBATE SET FOR MONDAY

Special to TINE sUS AND New YoRK HERALn
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-As the new
discussion of the treaty opened to-day
In the Senate with vigorous speech
by Senator Borah (Idaho) against its
economic consequences, a strong inti-
nation was thrown out at the White
House that President Wilson is not
necessarily opposed to compromise on
a reservation programme that win
bring about ratification.
From an official source close to the
President came the information that
Mr.. Wilson's letter to Senator Hitch
cock (Neb), acting Democratic leader,
has been misinterpreted and as mat
ter Of fact the President meant to
convey the impression that the COM
promise provision of Article X. sent
to him by the Nebraska Senator was
acceptable II 1t was necessary to rati-
fication, even though It might have a
chilling effect on the other signatories.
The Presidents letter was cryptic in
this respect. and was variously under
stood at the Capitol. But to-day's talk
of compromise at the White House
has put a new light on the situation.
It caused some of the Republican lr-
reconcilables in the Senate to admit
this afternoon that they now have
rather a slim chance of being able to
kill the treaty.

one recently Drafted,

a
The reservation TO which reference
was made at the White House to-day is
not the original interpretatlve reserva-
ton offered by Senator Hitchcock in
November. but is the one drafted by Re-
publican and Democratic members Of the
recent bipartisan conference to which,
however. Senator Lodge (Mass.), Re-
publican leader, did not give his assent
If the President is willing TO accept
this compromise. that will be recognized
by the leaders or both SIDES as the begin
ming of the end.
The only hope Of the irreconcilables
for complete defeat of the treaty has
been based upon the stubborn determlnar
ton of the President and his followers
to accept no reservations changing the
character of the document, especially no
impairment of the obligation Of this coun-
try to protect the territorial integrity and
political independence of the other league
members. The proposed compromise res
ervation to which the President appar-
emily is willing to give his consent II
need be, limits this obligation substan-
TALLY although It does not destroy 1t en-
tirely. as the Lodge reservation does.
Senator Borah, addressing the Senate,
said:
''The solvency and the very life Of
Europe depend on the acceptance OF one
of two alternatives: Either Europe must
be saved by reason Of Germanys paying
huge indemnities-so nuge that she can
never pay them--or else 1t must be saved
by continuing loans and perpetual chari-
ty from the United States"
Discussion ON New Lines.
Senator Borah's argument was rein-
forced by Senator Knox (Pa.). As THH
SUN AND New York HERALD correspond
ent predicted even before the treaty
was brought back to the Senate, the
discussion starts now on entirely new
lines. Attack Is aimed against the
economic consequences Of the treaty.
The political considerations are being
thrust to the background
Aside from the oratory in which these
views were urged. the Senate dealt with
the treaty only to the extent OF re-
