Debate on
FOur-POwer
Pact Ends
Senate Leaders on Both Sides
Agree That Ratification Of
Pacific Treaty Is Certain
Vote Today.
Fireworks Mark Session

Washington, March 23.-Thc SEN
ate concluded tonight its long debate
on the iour-power Pacific treaty and
prepared for IFS final vote tomorrow,
with the leaders on both sides pri-
vstely agreeing that ratification by a
narrow margin seemed certain.
a display OF oratorical fireworks,
scarcely surpassed in spectacular ei-
icct. even during the Versailles
treaty fight. brought the debate to
an end. Both opponents and sup
por'crs Of the pact summed up their
four weeks OF argument in a running
crosshre OF discussion that lasted all
day and until late at night, but ap-.
paren,ly did not change a vote.
Estimates of the outcome made by
well-informcd senators placed the
ratification majority at from ) TO 10
votes, depending on how many OF
those who have been counted against
the treaty join the majority, once
they see that the administration lead
ers are sure OF the two-thirds ncces-
sary TO ratify.
1t was said that several who stand
with the opposition, il there were a
chance TO defeat the pact, were in-
clined not TO waste their votes in
lost cause.
To Vote on Amendments.
a dozen or more reservations and
amendments also must be voted on
tomorrow, but the administration
managers are confident of the defeat
OF all of them except the mo alli-
ance' declaration, framed by the for
cgn relations committee and accept
ed by President Harding.
Making their last stand, the treaty's
opponents marshalled all their argu-
ments against the four-power agree
ment as an alliance" and injected
several new issues that caused mo-
mentary sensations and led to bitter
exchanges. A recent speech by Trot-
sky serving notice that the new in
ternatonal group should not forget
the red army Of Russia was quoted
by Senator Borah. republican, Idaho.
Allegations that the pastor who

prayer was compelled to omit the
name of Christ were thrown into
the debate by Senators Reed, demo-
crat, Missouri; Hitchcock, democrat,
Nebraska, and others. In an arraign-
mcnt for the treaty as return to the
old balance of power system, Senator
Glass, democrat, Virginia, declared
II was step toward war instead Of
peace.

Suit for Damages Claimed
During Coal Strike in Ar.

lngtOn.

Washington March 25.-The LA
bilities of the United Mine Worker:
of America, as an organization, fol
damages which may be caused by
acts of its members during strikes
was argued at length in the supreme
court by w. A. Glasgow for the
union, and II. S. Drinker, jr., and
| J. B. McDonough, as counsel fol
the nine mines in Arkansas, which
brought the so-called Coronado Goa
case to recover damages for the de.
struction of their property during
strikes in 1914.
The. United. Mine Workers con.
tended that their organization could
not be sued because it was incorpor-
ated, and a number of decisions oi
the courts were cited by counsel il
support of his argument to have sci
aside the decision of the lower fed.
eral courts, holding that the organ.
lzation had violated the Sherman
antitrust law by restraining inter.
state commerce. Numerous other
points were also urged by them, in.
cluding the objection that individual.
lyl and not collectively suits should
have been brought by the companies
against the union.
The conspiracy of the United Mine
Workers alleged in the Arkansa:
strike was not attributed to the Chi.
cago central competitive fields con.
ference of 1898, between the mine
operators and the miners, or to any
subsequent annual wage scale con.

asserted that the conspiracy fount
by the court consisted of an agree.

one hunderd of which is pasture. Mr..

for Mr.. Caswell three years on the
farm before purchasing the same.
The land is under the best of cultiva-
ton, cutting S. tons of hay. This
