the meantime the railroad company

DEMOCRATS HELP FIRST time
E'Bitter Enders," Headed by
Borah, Slow Decisions.
Hitchcock Offers Amendment
as Reservation Substitute.

Washington. Feb. 27.-The bitter
enders'' in the senate today have inter
posed themselves as a wedge between
the two large groups whose members
want ratification of the treaty and
who total eighty senators. This
wedge is so effectively placed that
the main groups of Democrats and
Republicans appear unable to agree
even on minor questions involved in
reservations.
1t is in fact. flying wedge as mobile
as a troop of cavalry and under the
leadership of Senator Borah it is
placed at the exact spot where 1t
serves most effectively to keep apart
those who want ratification. The SEN
ate continued to debate the fourth
reservation, relating to domestic Ques-
tons. Senator Hitchcock late yester-
day offered his reservation on this
point as substitute for the Lodge
reservation.
Hitchcock Has Amendment.
The Hitchcock substitute provides
that no member of the League of Ma
tions is required to submit domestic
questions to the league. Republican
senators declare this is an amendment
of the covenant and not reservation
and said it would effect all members
and not the United States alone.
A vote on this question may come
today. The senate will then discuss
the Shantung reservation
Democrats Vote With G. 0. p.
The Republican reservation regard
ing manufactures. attached to the peace
treaty last November over the opposi-
ton of 33 Democratic senators, was
readopted by a vote of SO to 4 in the
senate late yesterday after the admin
istration leaders had Withdrawn their
opposition to it.
1t was the first time qualification of
the treaty had been adopted with the
acquiescence of the Democratic man
ayers and the first time more than
two-thirds of the entire senate mem
bership had voted together in approx
ing any reservation

Rome, Feb. 27.-Time will settle the
Adriatic dispute, since Americas inter
est in European affairs is decreasing
constantly, the Giornale d'Italia, said
today.
All the newspapers took a more
hopeful view of the Adriatic situa-
ton, feeling that ItaIy's position is not
as hopeless as 1t at first appeared,
following President Wilson's Adriatic
note.
THE time is coming when Wilson
will no longer influence the allies"
the Giornale d'Italia continued. Italy
will continue to occupy the armistice
line. the newspaper said, pointing out
that Italian support is becoming more
and more indispensable to France and
Great Britain because of the develop
ments in the Russian and Turkish
situations and the German peril

Der of the special union committee
which conducted the fight against the
legislation.
1.-The fourteen rail union executives,
however. will remain in Washington
for some time"
The union executives will wait to
learn the views of the rank and file of
two million workers affected by the
bill before deciding on any further ac-
ton il the president signs it.
Expediency Drives Now -.
The executives will have three
courses of action open to them If the
measure becomes law. They can &C
cept 1t and attempt to gain thru the
labor board it creates the wage in
creases their men are demanding. Or
they can abandon all attempts to get
these wage increases under the bill
and fight to amend it or repeal it. The
third course is to attack its constitu-
tionality in the courts.
The presidents advisers, in recon-
mending that he sign the measure, 1t
was stated, took the position that
while all it's provisions were not salts
factory. expediency demands that 1t
be approved. Financial chaos will re-
suit if the roads are turned back with
out this law, 1t is feared. Recommen-
dations may be made by the president
for additional legislation to improve
the federal regulation plans approved
by congress.
Hines Answers Union Heads.
Director General Hines, in making
his recommendations to the president,
is understood to have made a detailed
answer to the objections raised against
the bill by the labor leaders.
One of the first steps to be taken by
the railroads if the bill is signed prob
ably will be suit to test the guaranty
provisions. which provide that profits
above s per cent shall be divided be-
tween the roads earning them and a
government fund for loans to other
roads The prosperous roads, such as
the Union Pacific. are planning to
claim this division is a taking of pri-
vate property without compensation in
violation OF the constitution.

not advanced more than Is per cent
