iRRECONCILABLES BLOCK
EFFORTS FOR RATIFICATION
Serve Notice That the Reservation Of
Article X. Must Be Kept
as It Stands

Washington. March l. = Republican
senator's irreconcilahly opposed to the
peace treaty took measures again yes
terday to block any modification of the
Article y. reservation. which was
adopted last November. and which has
since proved the greatest barrier to
all compromise negotiations.
Feeling that the Republican leaders.
unable to obtain enough votes to ratify
the treaty with the reservation I'M
changed. might consent to some mOdi-
fication. the irreconcilahle> served
notice through Senator Borah, Repub-
lican. of Idaho. that unless the provi-
sion We're kept as it stands they would
reserve liberty of action when con-
sideration of the treaty is resumed to-
day.
The new ultimatum. similar in ma
ture to one laid down by the irrecon-
cilables during the bipartisan compro-
mise negotiations. was presented di-
rectly to the party leader. Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts. who is ex-
pSStSu " tVllleI Will HIS CotItdSueS
on the subject today. The votes of
the irreconcilables have been counted
on TO insure Il ma jority for the Repub-
lican reservation plan as was the case
in November. and the move yesterday
is expected to receive serious consider
alton.
Just what the irreconcilahleS might
do To wreck the plans Of the Repuhli-
can leaders was not revealed. 1t was
suggested in some quarters. however.
that if they chose to do so the IT,
reconcilable group might easily debate
the treaty at such length that action
could be blocked until the assembling
OF the national political conventions
That result. in the opinion of many
senators. would preclude any posSibl-
itN OF ratification until the issue had
been fought out in the campaign.

FEDERAL BOARD FORECASTS
An ERA OF CONSERVATISM

Washington. March 1.-Early ending
of the general expansion which has
characterized war and immediate post
war periods was forecast in state
ment summarizing February business
conditions issued by the federal reserve
board. The upward movement Of
prices, as far as the board could as
certain. generally had not met with
any check.
Financial and banking authorities
everywhere We're asserted to be look
ing more seriously at the general sit
uation in credit and beginning to urge
the adoption of conservative policies.
While the review asserted that this
could not be accepted as meaning that
the "Orgy of speculation" had been
checked. there was said to be indisput-
able evidence that banks We're exercis-
ing "a greater degree of discrimination
and judgment in complying with the
demands of their customers.
Throughout practically all the re-
ports Of federal reserve agents. the
statement said. ''there runs plainly a
recognition of the existence of an
overestimated condition of credit and
of some continued tendency toward
speculative operations. High living
cost and the upward movement of
prices have not been checked, al
though there is decrease in prices
in certain lines and tendency toward
lower wages in others. Interest rates
are rising in most districts.

THE RAILROAD BILL IS
SIGNED BY PRESIDENT
Informs 6rotherhoods That Way Is
Opened for Immediate Action on
Unsettled Wage Questions

Washington. March I. - President
Wilson signed the railroad bill Sat
urday on the eve of the return OF
the roads to their owners and to pri
waite operation.
In a proclamation issued at the time
the bill was signed Mr.. Wilson vested
in Walker y. Hines. director general
of railroads. virtually all powers con-
ferred on the executive by the bill.
The White House also made public
the text of the presidents reply To Il
recent request of representatives of the

a commission composed equally of EN-

memorial later presented by the broth
erhood heads. asking that he veto the
railroad bill.
ut was manifest" the letter stated,
shat if the bill should become law
the negotiations and consideration of
the wage matter ought to proceed in
harmony Herewith.
"rhe bill having now become a law,
the way is open for immediate action
on the wage matter. in accordance
with the terms of the BILL Section
3O1 Of the bill evidently contemplates
that the carriers and employees should

solution of this wage problem.
I'm accordance with the assurance
gave YOU last August. and repeated
in substance in my letter of the 18th
instant. ! shall at once request the car
rierS and the employees to join in this
action. l believe such step will 60

subject for final disposition. In fact.

by section 301 appears to be an appro-

Il committee could have gone.
while it is true that the provisions
of section 3O1 of the railroad bin re-
lating to the labor board will probably
also come into operation as to this
wage matter. nevertheless. the bi-par-
tisan board can make a great deal Of
progress which will materially dimin.

board is functioning the appointment
and organization of the labor board

Commission Over the Foreion

Washington. March I. - COincitlent

The order investing Mr.. Hines with
the power of fuel adn,initrastOr as far
as domestic distribution is concerned,
said doubt had arisen as to whether
he could continue to exercise these
powers after the return Of the rail
roads to private control. 4 new order
was therefore executed extending Mr..
Hines authority beyond the date of the
return.
The president order is effective nm
til April 80, 1920. when it will cease
