Year Has Dragged by Since
Senate Saw Treaty; Clean
of Ratification Hope Seen
(By Associated PresS)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Many
days Of partisan wrangling over the
peace treaty promised to give way to-
day to actual progress toward disposal
of the pact, just one year since de-
bate started on the league Of nations,
A vote on the first proposed modf-
fication of the reservations adopted at
the last session Of congress was ex-
pt~ted to be reached during the day.
While the contest will not find the
lines drawn as tightly as in some Of
the votes to come, notable that on the
much discussed article 10, the out
corr will be watched with concern by
both sides.
Pi, liminary to the vote, the senate
spent yesterday arguing whether the
Democrats or Republicans were re-
sponsible for delay in ratification.
Both sides claimed to have originated
the recent bipartisan conference
which endeavored unsuccessfully to
effect compromise GA the reserEa-
tioRs.

In a statement made by Theodore
Davis, president Of the association, he
said that not in any way were the
farmers antagonistic towards the city.
but that they were merely expressing
their opinion. The resolution, which
was ordered to be placed in the hands
of Mayor Zimmerman before the next
council meeting follows:
Whereas: The adoption of the So
called daylight saving law by any city
within our country is beneficial to less
than ten per cent of the population:
Whereas: The adoption of such a
plan by any business house catering
TO the farmer in conflicting with the
business hours of the farmer:
Whereas: The hours for labor on
the farm cannot be changed, as the
farmers work is done from sun to
sun:
Cant Attend Theatres"
Whereas: The adoption of such an
ordinance by the theatres and other
places of entertainment causes such
places to be prohibited to the farmers
family:
Whereas: It is not necessary for
business houses to adopt said daylight
saving law, even if the various manu-
featuring concerns find a benefit in
such plan:
Whereas: Such a plan would cause
unrest in the labor conditions of the

tries.
In the coal shortage periods from
which the country has suffered in re-
cent years, particularly in the severe
winter of 1917-191s, one Of the great
est factors has been the unequal dis
tribution of cars. That was true also
last summer. when q shortage of coal
for this winter was predicted. and
everybody was urged to lay in an early
supply. The mine operators insisted
that 1t was not their fault that more
coal was not forthcoming. and laid the
blams at the door OF the director gem
eral of railroads for not furnishing
more cars. There can be little doubt
that II there had been fairer distri-
button of available transportation
among the mines the situation would
have been greatly relieved. But no
penalty attached to anybody, and
negligence resulted.
