LODGE ASKS EARLY
PEACE TREATY VOTE
Hitchcock Has Counter Pro
posal to Limit Debate.
QUESTION ARISES MONDAY
.Republican Leader Seeks to Fi
Xovember 12 for Rollcall on
Ratifying: German Fact.
"WASHINGTON'. Oct. 31. Formal
negotiations for an early final vote
on ratification of the German peace
treaty were launched today in the
senate.
Proposal that a final rollcall be
taken Wednesday, November 12, was
made by Chairman Lodge of the for
eign relations committee, while Sena
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska, adminis
tration leader, presented a counter
proposal to limit to 15 minutes each
senator's debate on all questions be
ginning next week, but without pro
posing a definite date for the ratifi
cation vote.
Both proposals went over without
discussion until Monday, the senate
adjourning tonight until Monday
without reaching a vote on any of
pending amendments.
Confidence of acceptance by all
republicans of his plan to dispose of
the treaty on November 12 was ex
pressed tonight, by Senator Lodge
Senator Hitchcock and other demo
crats indicated they would stand on
the plan to curtail debate without
agreement upon a definite voting
date. Limitation of the debate, the
administration forces feel, would
secure a final vote early in Novem
ber. The proposals for ending the long
drawn contest on the treaty came at
the close of another day of routine
debate on the motion of Senator L.a
Kollette, republican, Wisconsin to
strike out the labor section of the
treaty.
Senator Lodge's proposal for an
Unanimous consent agreement for a
vote on November 12 provides that
the senate proceed at 5 o'clock on
that date to vote on all pending ques
tions and the resolution of ratifica
tion without further debate.
Senator Lodge's programme also
proposes that from November 3 to
November 9, inclusive, each senator
be allowed only an hour's discussion
on each amendment, reservation or
other question and that the time be
cut to ten minutes from November 10.
The plan of Senator Hitchcock also
t led for daily convening of the
senate at 11 o'clock.
The formal suggestions of the two
leaders followed a futile informal
parley between Senator Fall, republi
can of New Mexico, and Senator
Hitchcock for a final vote on Novem
ber 10.
DISLOYALTY IS CHARGED
"Walla Walla Woman Flies Answer
to Husband's Salt.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Oct. 31.
(Special.) That Crassius Stewart
told the committee raising funds for
the homecoming celebration for re
turned service men that he did not
care a whether the soldiers ever
came home, and that this greatly
humiliated his wife, was one of the
statements made by Mrs. Kate Stew
art in her answer to her husband's
suit for divorce. She also asked the
divorce.
Stewart in his divorce claimed his
money was his separate property, but
Mrs. Stewart in her answer alleges
that it is community property and
worth more than $100,000. She charges
that he made her an allowance of J10
a month and when his own relatives
remonstrated he increased it to f 100
each quarter, cutting this off when he
found she was saving some money.
She says she was humiliated by his
failure to buy Liberty bond's in pro
portion to his means; that he drove
away friends from their home and
refused to allow her to accompany
him to theaters.
3 APPLE CANNING IS -BEGUN
The Dalles Flant to Put Up 7 5,000
Cases; 130 Women Employed.
THE DALLES. Or., Oct. 31. (Spe
cial.) "With apples stored In every
available warehouse in this city, the
canning plant of Libby, McNeill &
Libby is beginning its canning of ap
ples which it is estimated will keep
the plant operating at full blast until
February 1.
The local plant will put up 75,000
cases of canned apples this season

ably a third of this enormous output

community, it is necessary that serv
ice of expert and efficient character
shall be constantly available, day or
night, to meet and overcome accident
or need. The record of the company
and its employes through the years,
indicates clearly that both have ful
filled in the highest degree, their ob
ligations to the public in this respect.
Hazardous "Work Considered.
"The board doe's not regard the pre
sentments as to living costs wholly
conclusive, inasmuch as the character
of the service and the wage schedule
should, we feel, be subordinated to
the hazardous character of the service,
which properly places the entire mat
ter upon a higher plane.
"Considering the equity of the
workers' demands, question properly
arises as to the ability of the com
pany to meet the increased overhead
represented by the awarded wage
scale. Net earnings of the company
indicate the light and power service
is now and has been relatively profit
able and that these increases will not
appreciably affect them. The board
does not regard, based upon the com
pany's own showing, that rates for
either light or power should neces
sarily be increased ir order to meet
the advances imposed herein, either in
whole or in part.
"Facing these conditions, the board
feels that the employes are supported
in their contention foi an increase in
pay by existing living conditions, the
decreased purchasing power of the
dollar, the skill and training required
in practically all the crafts involved,
hazards of the service, the close rela
tion which the service bears to the
economic and industrial life of the
community, and feels warranted in
granting the schedule as set forth
herein one which, while materially
exceeding the proffer of the com
pany, does not wholly measure up to
the demand's of the employes, but one
which the board, anxious to perform
its duty fairly and justly and with
a conscientious ' regard for every in
terest concerned, has endeavored to
place at such a figure as will accord
the fullest possible measure of jus
tice to all concerned."
Here follows the scale as fixed by
the conciliation board, in which
wages for 80 different classes of elec
trical workers are fixed. Among the
entire number are the following,
which are representative of the scale
throughout.

"The board desires to express its
appreciation," says the report, in clos
ing, "of the attitude of the officers
of the company and its employes,
upon whose shoulders rested the re
sponsibility of presenting the condi

DDNUN SAYS CAREY
EDGED OUT DF DEAL
Plans to Buy Spruce Road at
$500,000 Profit Testified.
$3,500,000 WAS PRICE
Montana State Senator Declares
Charges by Coast Lumbermen
Caused Carey to Withdraw.
KEW YORK, Oct. 31. State Senator
Edward Donlan of Missoula, Mont., to
day told the congressional sub-committee
on aircraft' production that he
had arranged a deal after the armi
stice to offer the government $3,500,-
ooo tor the railroad, sawmill and log
ging developments built by the Slems,
Carey and Kerbaugh corporation in
the state of Washington. Senator Don
lan said that W. F. Carey was inter
ested with him in this plan and that
they expected to make $500,000 profit,
but that Carey withdrew because of
charges made by coast lumbermen
and the matter was dropped.
The cost to the government of the
Washington developments was $23.-
285,000 and their salvage value was
put at $3,900,000. Donlan said that
$2,000,000 of the amount he and Carey
were to offer was for the spruce rail
road which cost $'.000,000.
Ryan Is Corroborated.
The witness corroborated testimony
by John D. Ryan, ex-director of the
air service, that he and Ryan had not
been on "friendly terms since a time
prior to the entry of the United States
into the war". He said that he had
been re-elected in spite of opposition
by the Ryan interests.
Donlan testified he had received
$20,000 for assisting the Siems. Carey
and Kerbaugh corporation in its gov
ernment work.
A route for a government railroad
tapping a spruce district of Wash
ington state which would probably
have cost $1,400,000 instead of the
actual route adopted that cost $4,000,
000 was-urged by R. M. Calkins and
H. B. Earling, vice-presidents of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, ac
cording to their testimony.
Inquiry to Go to Capital.
Calkins said an extension of the
Milwauke via Deep creek Would have
reached 11,000.000,000 more feet of
timber than the road as built via
Crescent lake. Earling said it was
obvious that the Crescent lake route
would have cost the more. He de
ned that after the armistice .he had
urged that 14 miles of the Crescent
lake line be completed.
The committee will resume its in
vestigation in Washington, D. C. Gen
eral B. P. Disque, formerly director of
spruce production, will- testify at his
own request.
