NO PROGRESS MADE TOWARDS DECISION
 ON RA|LM MEN'S PAY
Senate and House COnferees on Road Reorganization See Ray of Light
 After Deadlock
By A.,..iat,d nr,,.

Washington February S-Proiongei discussion of demands for increased wages between railroad administration officials and representatives of the two million employees of federal controlled railroads had netted no tangible results when the 1rst session of the conference adjourned tonight While neither Director General Hines nor the labor leaders would make a public statement concerning the da,ys rie- gctiations, 1t was understood that the argument thus far had failed to crystal ize into definite programme
 Director General Hines had not pre- sented his proposals in their entirety when the conference broke up until to- morrow, having adopted the policy of hearing argument fro mall union heads asA each particular statement of the gov ernments case was laid before the con ference. The administration thus ob- tsiEed comprehensive idea of the labor view as individual claim and counter ar- grments were taken up
 It was not believed tonight that the conference would result in a solution of the whole wage problem. Some of the, demands were expected to be withdraw and othrs probably will be compromise or be resubmitted to the union membs ship directly affected. All will threshed over, however, before the q ference ends.
 The union leaders are expected to spend much of tomorrow fornoon discussing among themselves their future policies as 1t apepared today that the various or ganization officials were not together on the questions considered. Few arguments were said to have coincided, each union being dissatisfied with some particular feature.
 In some instances changes have been made in the demands which were made last July and which finally were laid be- fore President Wilson, who requested de- lay pending efforts of the government to bring down the cost of living. Most of the union officials do not feel that any pro gress has been made in reducing the cost of living and this point was stressed dur ing the discussion today.

SUBMIT DEMANDS
 ID FINAL DECISION
Both Miners and Operators Have Five Days to Dis
 cuss Opposing Evidence
By Assoeiatea Prtn

Washington, February 3.--With conclud- ing arguments presented before the coal strike settlement commission today by spokesnen for the operators and mine workerA in the central competitive field. the fate of the reiterated demands of the workers for SO per cent increase
 In wages and thirty hour week was submitted to the final decision of the commission. Each side, however was
 granted permission to present within five
 days a written brief discussing the op-
 posing evidence.
 In the closing statement for the united
 mine workers, John L. Lewis acting pres
 ident of the organization, declared the
 "reasonableness of the miners demands
 not only have not been shaken by the
 operators evidence, but have overw helm-
 ingly been supported by it."
 Summing up the position of the oper-
 ators, Ralph Crews. attorney told the
 commission that from all the evidence
 submitted 'it was apparent that what
 the miners needed to improve their con-
 dition was not an increased wage scale but greater disposition to work when
 the opportunity to work is given them. t A final plea on behalf of the operators tkat the commission provide means to compel individual miners and their
 unions to abide by their working con tracts with operators, with the same ob- ligation resting upon the operator was voiced by Philip Penna. secretary of the Indiana Coal Operators Association. William l.. Green, secreary of the union, in firal argument in support of the miners demand for a thirty-hour week, declared the granting of such demand not only was an economic possibility, -
 but that it probably would cause an act
 uai increase in production over the pres ent eight-hour day.
 The commission tomorrow will hear representatives of bituminous operators and the union miners in the Iowa, Texas
 and Oklahoma fields who have agreed to accept the application in those districts
 of the commissions termt for the central field

BoRAH ISSUES STATEMENT

A statement 0ectar1nS the recent lellSl of viscount Grey and the cablegram of Lloyd George bore out the contentious of the treaty's irreooncilaible foes was issued tonight by Senator Borah, republican, Idaho It said:
 The weakening and injury to the league, which some apprehend from the American reservations, would not be felt in practice. Thus yiscount Grey disposes Of all reservations and renounces them as utterly ineffective and worthless.
 The sad part of it is that he is en- fireiy correct. These proposed reservations do not protect our independence. They are simply the flimsy excuse for failing to do what 1t is the plain duty of pa- tFiotic men to do. They are the answer of party politics to the demand by for eign governments to surrender our inde- pendence.
 .-The Grev interview and Lloyd George s eablegram ought to convince any one that there is just one question involved in this controversy-that is, shall we enter the league, or shall we stay out of it? When we enter the league we are therefor all purposes and our reserva- tions will never be felt nor even re- spected.
 "It has been known in Washington for weeks thatathe Lodge reservations were entirely satisfactory to the English pre- uaier. He would have said so publicly long ago, but he did not desire to offend the president. But after an effort to reach the President through Niscount Grey, which failed, and after a full study and after consultation with the greatest lawyers of London and some in this country, it was concluded that reservations construed by . political body from whose construction there was no appeal would be wholly worthless So Lloyd George cabled, Lodge reservations satisfactory we want the United States to enter the league. Come into my parlor.s said the spider to the fly. I will take my own time in advising you how to get out. !"

CLEARING DECKS FOR NEW TREATY
 FIGHT IN SENATE
Cloture, Which Is Expected to Come Back With Pact, Now Worrying Talk
 ative Senators
By A...eI.,ss Pros.

Washington, February 3.-Senate lead CTS preparing to bring the peace treaty again to the surface of Senate consid- eration next week. took up today the problem of clearing away the wreckage of tangled parliamentary red tape which the treaty carried down with it when it failed of ratification last November.
 Not the least of their troubles was the cloture, which was invoked to choke off debate just before the ratification vote and which Vice President Marshall is expected to hold. must come back into the Senate along with the treaty The leaders want some sort of cloture, but they do not want to be string-halted by so stringent rule under which many senators have exhausted their full quota of time.
 The method apparently most in favor for avoiding this difficulty is to recomnit the treaty to the foreign relations com unittee, a move which parliamentary ex- ports say would autom atically rid it of it's cloture restriction. If that is done 1t probably will be qualified by stipulation that a report is to De returned imme- diAtely.
 Some senators, however, are strongly adverse to opening the gates to debate without any form of cloture, and are bringing pressure to bear on the rules committee to act promptly on one of the proposals for modified cloture before it. Tonight no meeting of the committee had been called, and the leaders were not hopeful that any action would be possi- ble before the treaty comes up Monday.
 In case the committee does not act, it is possible there may be a move to adopt a cIoture rule without committee ccnsidera- tion

the Blues their opportunity.
With the Tribe leading to o in the
fifth. the Blues were given start after
two down and before the Indians could
again tighten up they had scored three
times. The Indians tied 1t up by count
ing one in the sixth, but in the tenth q

way and the winning run went over
when, with two out and man on sec
