ployes Is going 20 make hard night
against the action taken by the Sem
ate Postofrice Committee yesterday
to eliminate the time and one-half
pay for clerks and carries clause
from the postonfice appropriation
measure now being framed.
Leaders OF the Postal Employees
Union were disappointed when they
found this action had been taken In
executive session before holding any
hearings which would enable the car
riers and clerks to explain the merits
OF the case.
"For many years tho Government
has paid time and one-half overtime
to machinists and other classes OF
employees who have been strong
enough TO assert their rights" said
one official of the postal union yes
terday. why should not the car
riers, admittedly one of the most
faithful and Woodworking class OF
men in the service of the Government,
be given the same working condi'
tions?"
Before the conference report on the
postoffice appropriation bill Is adopt
ed, delegations OF Federal employees
will march down to Capitol Hill and
seek to have the overtime pay clause
restored.

Lenroot BIames Hitchcock.
'If enough Democrats would break
away from the leading strings OF
President Wilson. the treaty would be
ratified" Senator Lenroot, Republi-
can. declared on the Senate floor late
yesterday during a long and bitter
wrangle between Democrats and Re-
publicans as TO which party was re-
sponsible for the failure to ratify the
pact.
The Republican Senator laid the
blame at the door OF Senator Hitch
cock, minority leader. charging him
with trying to project the treaty into
the Presidential campaign, and de-
clared that the present situation
shows that all the Democratic leader
Is now trying TO do is to win suffi-
cient Republicans over to his side
to be able to say that the Republi-
cans all along have been the ones
holding back the ratification, in this
way placing the onus OF the long dis
pute on the Republican party.
