BIPARTISAN CONFERENCE
SPLITS ON ARTICLE TEN
Democrats to Take Pact Back to Sen
ate Floor Following Withdraw
al of Senator Lodge

Washington, Jan. 31-Efforts to
break the peace treaty deadlock by
unofficial bipartisan negotiations end
ed suddenly in failure yesterday, and
Democratic senate leaders began prep
arations to bring the treaty back into
the open senate for consideration.
1t was over the long debated Ar
ticle X. that the bipartisan movement,
after bringing Republicans and Demo
Gratis together on many collateral
issues, finally met disaster. The end
came after Senator Lodge of Massa-
ehusetts, the Republican leader, had
renewed his refusal to compromise on
that article and had rejected reser-
walton on the subject written by for
mer President Taft, and presented to
the bipartisan conciliation committee
by the Democrats.
Walking out of the conference with
the announcement that further DELHI
erations there were useless, the Dem
ocrats quickly drafted plans to renew
the fight in the open. The acting party
leader, Senator Hitchcock, of Nebras-
ka, announced that notice would be
given in the senate today of his in
tentiOn to move, on February 10, to
take up the treaty for ratification.
Opinion was divided as to whether
such motion would prevail.

UNREST GENERAL
AMONG FARMERS
10000 ANSWER MISSIONARIES
SENT OUT BY PosToFFIcE

CHILDREN LuRED TO CITIES
Labor Lack and Greed of Middlemen
Are Reasons for Dissatisfaction
Farmers May Soon Only Raise
Enough for Themselves

Washington, Jan. 30-Indications o.
widespread spirit of unrest among
the farmers of the country so threat
ening as likely to disturb the existing
economic structure is considered by
government officials to be revealed in
more than 10000 replies to a ques-
tionnaire sent out recently by the post.
office department.
The replies, as thus far digested,
were summarized in a report pre-
pared by George l.. Wood, superin-
tendent of the postoffice department s
: division of rural mails, and read to the
senate postoffice committee yesterday
by James /. Blakeslee, fourth assist
ant postmaster general. The views of
the 10000 or more farmers were OBJ
tanned by broadcasting 100000 copies
of QUESTIONABLE throughout the ag-
rlcultural states, asking for sugges-
tions whereby the postoffice depart
nent might aid in cutting down the
cost of living.
Answers to the questionnaires have
been coming in since the middle of
December at the rate of 1000 day,
and while a small percentage are
from well satisfied farmers having
no suggestions to make, the great pro-
portion, as summarized by officials.
shows the major complaints of the
farmers, in numerical order, to be:
Inability to obtain labor to work
the farms, hired help and the farm
er's children having been lured to the
city by higher wages and easier living.
High profits taken by middlemen
for the mere handling of products.
Lack of proper agencies of contract
between the farmer and the ultimate
consumer.
so Per Cent May Quit Farms.
Many of the replies, one official |
who had looked over them said, prob |
ably as many as 30 per cent, indicate |
that the writers contemplate either |
leaving their farms or curtailing acre |
age under cultivation because of one |
or more of the three major grievances |
and because of the growing feeling |
against non-producing city jewellers.
Commenting last night on the re-
plies, Assistant Postmaster General
Blakeslee said:
Such a condition at a time when
the predominant cry is for production
and still more production cannot but
constitute grave menace"
Before the senate committee he char
icterized the situation as "disquieting
and portentous of disastrous conse-
luences.
This opinion was expressed by Mr..
3lakeslee after a member of the SEN ;
tie committee had remarked that the /,
eplies seemed to have come mostly
rom a bunch of BolshevistS."
