Washington, Feb. Failure
generally was predicted b. senate
leaders tonight for the effort to
write a new cloture provision into
the senate rules to curb debate on
the peace treaty when it is renew
ed next week.
Although the rules committee
will meet tomorrow to take up the
subject, it generally was conceded
that the time was too short to
make any change in the rules be-
fore the treaty is called up Mon
day Senators who have opposed
iany Limitation on debate We're pre-
pared, it was said, to fight a clo-
ture proposal at such length that
no roll call would be reached on it
before that time.
Under the present plan of the
Headers to dispense with the old
Icloture restrictions now clinging TO
the treaty, the development was
regarded as insuring that when the
treaty comes mp unlimited debate
will be in order.
1t is hoped on both sides. how
ever. to hasten consideration as
much as possible to come to a final
ratification roll call promptly.
Some senators think it can be
Ireached within ten days.
Negotiations for agreement on
some of the reservations to be con-
s!dered continued during the day
and in some quarters It was pre-
dicted that the points Of Disagree
ment quickly would be sifted down
Ito a few propositions once the
treaty comes into the open senate.
From other sources it was predict
ed, however, that the republican
leaders would insist in the original
reservations without the modified
tions agreed on by the unofficial
bipartisan committee and that q
long controversy would ensue.

a period from eighteen months to

Other Provisions.
Provision is also made in the
compromise that with the Inter
state Commerce commission ap-
proval, half of per cent of
the earnings may be given to the
railroad responsible for tho earn
ines and used for such unprodue-
tive improvements as erection of
terminals or elimination os grade
crossings. Fifty per cent of the
earnings in excess Of the per INT
will go to the railroads producing
the excess return. while the other
half goes to a railroad contingent
fund administered by the commits
sion and used for the purchase of
rolling stock and other equipment
TO be rented to the weaker roads

NAV he made.
The bill as compromised fur
ther authorizes the Interstate
Commerce commission to prescribe
rates which will yield revenue by
which this fixed return may be
guaranteed, and after the termina-
tion of the period during which this
return is effective the commission
is authorized to agree upon the per-
centage of return and fix rates ac4
cordingly in order 10 Insure its con-
tinuation.
Prevent Litigation.
The Cummins bill provided that
one-half OF earnings in excess of 6
per cent and not exceeding Z per
cent would have been placed in a
reserve fund and the remaining
one-half would have gone into a
general railroad contingent fund.
Another important section agreed
upon by the conferees and which is
expected TO prevent much state ltl-
cation, provides that the Interstate
Commerce commission may sus-
pend or change rates during the
six months period after the roads
are released by the government.
The cOnfereeS also agreed with
slight modification on the Poindex-
ter long and short haul amend
ment,
