REPUBLICAN, FALTER
IN FORCING CLOTURE
RULINGS IN SENATE
7 Townsend Introduces a
Resolution But 1t
Draws Fire
lRN ASsOnimteh Press.L

Washington, Sept. 29.--A resolur
tion embodying the new Republican
Olan to curb senate debate was in
troduced in the senate late today by
Senator Townsend, Republican, Michi
gan. He and other Republicans,
however, said the cloture plan would
not be pressed Immediately and GER
tairly not during consideration of
the tax revision bill.
The new cloture proposal met with
instant and bipartisan opposition.
Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri,
inquired if it was proposed to adopt
Ii edrastic house rules, and Senator
Borah, Republican, Idaho, asked
Senator Townsend if he would be
willing to add a proviso requiring all
senators to be present when the
senate was in session.
The Townsend resolution, which
was referred to the rules committee,
provides for investigation of cloture
by majority vote instead of the two
thirds vote now required.

SWEEPING AMENDMENTS
TO TAX BILL OFFERED
BY DEMOCRATIC WHIPS
Tilt Between Penrose
And Simmons Feature
Of Session
(Ey Associated Press

Washington, Sept. 29.-Senate
consideration of the ReRpRubRRlia
consideration of the Republican tax
revision bill was featured today by
the introduction of sweeping amend
ments from the Democratic side, a
row between Chairman Penrose, of
the finance committee, and Senator
Simmons, of North Carolina, ranking
Democrat on that committee, and a
charge by Senator LaFollette, Re-
publican, Wisconsin, that features of
the bill dealing with foreign traders
and trade corporations constituted a
device "to enable individuals of great
wealth to escape taxation"
Behind the scene there were some
efforts to bring about an agreement
among opponents of the committee
bill on the more outstanding tax fea-
lures, but apparently there were no
final conclusions. Republican sena-
tors in the agricultural bloc were
confident, however, that with the aid
of the Democrats they would be able
to defeat the committee plan to con-
tinue the taxes on freight, passenger
and Pullman ACCOMMODATIONS for an
other year at half the present rates.
Repeal of these levies was one of
several proposals put forth by Sena-
tor Simmons on behalf of the miniri-
ty members of the finance commit
tee. The others included a maximum
sur-taX rate of 81 per cent. in place
of the proposed 32 per cent. reten-
ton Of the corporation capital stock
tax which the committee would re-
peal next year, repeal of the $4,000
exemption allowed corporINns and
of the special taxes on brokers and
proprietors of theatres and other
places of amusement and on owners
of automobiles operated for hire
Another amendment would provide
that persons having net incomes in
excess of $4,000 would not be elli-
gible for the normal exemptions now
allowed by law to single men, married
men and to heads of families, on ac-
count of dependents.

DISGRACEFUL TREATIES
MAY Be RATIFIED IN A
FORTNIGHT BytSENATE
Agreement Reached For
Vote-WatsonsMakeS
a Sharp Attac k

Washington, Sept. Ratification
by the senate in a fortnight of the
administration peace treaties with
Germany, Austria and Hungary loom
ed as a prospect tonight after Re-
publican and Democratic leaders dur
ing the day had discussed a proposed
unanimous consent agreement draft
ed by Senator Lodge, the Republican
leader, to take the final votes October
IA and Is. Both expressed hopes of
obtaining a formal order of the SEN
ate tomorrow providing for such a
program and all factions express the
opinion that the agreement would
be reached.
Announcement of. the negotiations
was made in the senate late today by
Senator Lodge and with the discus
sions showing evidence of success,
the Republicans dropped their plan
for a session tonight. Senator Lodge
intimated however, that should the
agreement be blocked he would return
to the night session drive for ratifca-
ton. Mr.. Lodge said he had "every
reasonable hope" of, reaching an
agreement and Senator Underwood,
the Democratic leader, also said an
agreement had been practically
reached" and was ready for confirm
alton tomorrow.
The only speech today was by
Senator Watson, Democrat, Georgia,
who opposed ratification because he
said he believed they Would drag the
United States into the League of Ma
tions and European entanglements.,
He also contended that the trea-
ties failed to provide for release of
American citizens who had violated
the espionage laws. Referring appa-
rently to Eugene V. Debs, he said a
man was serving a ten year sentence
in the Atlanta penitentiary for re-
peating his, Mr.. Watson's words.
Because he repeated a part of a
speech l made" said Senator Watson,
that conscription was unconstitu-
tional, shouldn't he be in the senate
and in the penitentiary, he did not
say a thing more than I have said
here in the senate, and l think I'm in
better company than he is. That is
my opinion"

So Instructed
WILL COUNSEL WORKERS
Already Has Called At
tention to Depressed
Conditions

Chicago, Sept. 29.-If the 1S6,000.
members of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen, more than 80 per
cent. of whom have voted to strike,
are supported in their demands by
the grievance committee a strike will
be ordered.
With this parting declaration Pre-
sident w. G. Lee dispatched 81 gen.
eral chairmen of the unions to their
homes tonight with written instruc-
tions to call their grievance commit
tees, get their approval or disappro-
val of the strike vote and report back
here next week. That the grievance
committees will approve the strike
was predicted at headquarters.
Lee expects to act on the commit
tee instructions before the Brother
hood of Engineers, Conductors, En-
ginemen and Trainmen,. and the
Switchmen's Union of North America
have completed the count of their
259,000 strike ballots, which will
start here Monday. The strike call
however, he indicated today, will
provide for a walkout of the train
men when, and if, the other unions
strike. A walkout of one union un-
supported by the others will not be
undertaken.
May Never Take Place
That the strike, even if Ordere.
will never actually take place, con-
tinued to be the prevailing impress
sion in union circles today. While Lee
has promised to call the walkout if
the committees so direct, he bluntly
told his men in a general letter on
September 10, that he would be re-
Emiss in his duty if he failed to point
out to them that wages are, and
working conditions established since
1918 were the result of a world war
such as was never known before;
hat government reports indicate
100000 men out of work; that near
" all classes of labor have been fore
ed to accept some wage reductions;
that the pay increases granted them
last year by the United States Labor
Board was based on the increased
cost of living and that government
reports show a reduction of more
than 16 per cent. in such living cost.
