JOKERS CAST OUT
OF TREATY PLANS
Senator Walsh Humiliated in
Trick to Kill Reservation.
BREACH GROWING WIDER
Movement to Change Treaty Boost
ed When Democrats Inject
Politics Into Fight.
OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Nov. 13. It has been a hard
day for jokers in the senate. Two of
them, put to the test by the admin
istration Torces. were overwhelmingrly
beaten, one of them after it had been
deserted by all except- two of Its
original friends.
Much has been, made of the' pro
posal of the democratic forces to in
voke the cloture and the plan had
found some sympathy among the mild
reservationists. It was. therefore, both
a surprise and a disappointment to
the real friends of the treaty on the
republican side to find when the
Hitchcock proposal was laid before
the senate that it was not genuine.
It was merely a partisan -attempt to
put out a cloture on the 1odge reser
vations and not in any 'way an at
tempt to restrict debate on the treaty
itself. The chair ruled it out of order
and on an appeal from the decision
of the chair, the ruling was upheld
by the usual republican majority, two
democrats. Reed and Shields, voting
with the republicans.
Breach Is Widened.
The effect of the administration
forces which put forth such a joker
was to widen the breach between
their side of the house and those re
publicans, headed by Senators Mc
Nary, L.enroot. Kellogg and McCum
ber, who actually desire to hasten
the ratification.
The trick amendment of Senator
Walsh of -Montana to the reservation
on article 10, which would have de
stroyed the effect of that article
proved a sorrowful and humiliating
joke for the Montana Benator. The
purpose of.'the amendment was to
draw the votes of several irrecon
' ilables on the republican side who
were anxious to kill the treaty. By
this method it was believed the
amendment would pass and then the
repiihlioan reservationists would vote
with.-the democrats to kill the reser
vation as thus amended.
Outcome In Crushing.
Xotices from Senator McNary and
others that if the democrats voted the
Walsh amendment into the reserva
tion they would support the reserva
tion and hold the administration re
sponsible, put an entirely different
face on the thing.
long before the rote was reached
today Senator Walsh was noticeably
nervous. Those senators on his side
of the senate who had congratulated
him on the cleverness of his amend
ment only two days before were main
taining an aloofness that foretold the
disaster which followed.
The outcome was so crushing when
only four votes were cast for his
amendment, that the Montana senator
appeared to want to get something
into the record on his dead effort,
which is an unusual proceeding. He
took some time to explain. Only one
democrat. Pittman of Nevada, and two
irreconcilable republicans. L Follette
and Norris. voted with him.
Senator Lodge continued master of
the situation today, the majority
forces having become further ce
mented by the efforts of the admin
istration side to inject sharp politics
into the fight.
Some impatience developed on the
democratic side at the tactics of ad
ministration leaders when Senator
Ashurst, democrat, of Arizona, inter
rupted Senator Hitchcock this after
noon to say:
"I want to call the attention of the
country to the fact that it is a demo
cratic senator who is now delaying
this treaty."
Senator Hitchcock. was reading
some statements Into the record for
political effect. A long speech by
Senator La Follette and a series of
hopess amendments from the minor
ity consumed most of the afternoon
and delayed the vote on the reserva
tion to article 10, which the majority
had expected to dispose of much
earlier in the day.
Signature Indicates Illness.
Only one glance was necessary at
the signature of President Wilson as
it came to the capitol today attached
to a communication to be laid before
the house to convince anyone familiar
with his autograph that he is still a
very sick man. The signature,
scrawled with a pencil, did not In
dicate a trembling hand, because
there was no waviness to his lines,
but unsteadiness was clear. Only
three letters in the signature were
recognizable, the two initials, "W."
. and "S.," and the first "o" in Wood
row. ! It will be recalled that the Wilson
. : signature in ordinary times follows
a straight line so true as to be one
of its most noticeable characteristics,
i. This signature started with the first
i, "W" at the usual level at the foot
; of the letter, but wound steadily up
i ward until the final "n" in Wilson,
I lost In a jumble of illegible letters.
f was fully thrse-quarters of an inch
t above the beginning of the signature.
Witl.out knowing whose signature it
"" was, it would not have been recogniza-j-
ble at a glance, it was commented
j' by those who .saw It. At certain
f points the lines were faint, indicating,
r as someone said, that it was written
, by a man not yet recovered from the
: ravages of a most critical illness.
President Wilson today signed the
Hawley act relieving all mining claim-a-n
ts of the 1919 assessment work.
m
Ltettercarriers in Portland. Or., can
,t not be authorized to solicit Red Cross
memberships, the postoffice depart
ment told Senator McNary today. The
department's answer was in reply to
' a telegram from officers of the Amer
. lean L.egion at Portland urging that
; the Portland postmaster - be author
, ized to aid the Red Cross campaign
through the carrier force.
Pro-tera Cummins, presiding, sus
tained the point of order. Senator
Hitchcock appealed from the ruling
and on motion of Senator Lodge the
appeal was tabled, 44 to 36.
The republican petition calls for
limitation of debate on the whole
treaty, and carries the signatures of
the following republican senators:
Lodge, Massachusetts; Phipps, Colo
rado; Elkins, West Virginia; Curtis
and Capper, Kansas; Edge, New Jer
sey; Townsend, Michigan; Jones,
Washington; Norris, Nebraska; Cal
der. New York; Kellogg and Nelson,
Minnesota; Hale. Maine; Lenroot,
Wisconsin; McNary, Oregon; Ball,
Delaware; Sterling, South Dakota;
Cummins and Kenyon, Iowa; ' Moses
and Keyes, New Hampshire; Spencer,
Missouri; McCumber, North Dakota:
Colt, Rhode Island; Watson and New,
Indiana; Smoot, Utah; McLean, Con
necticut; Dillingham, Vermont, and
Harding Ohio.
The petition was admitted without
objection and was ordered to lie over
under the rule until Saturday when
a vote must be taken without debate.
Should a two-thirds majority favor
cloture, no senator then could speak
more than an hour until a final rati
faction rollcall had been reached.
Although Senator Reed had in
tended to continue today his attack
on the treaty, he was persuaded by
the senators preparing for cloture
to withhold his address and let con
sideration of the reservations pro
ceed. Late In the day, however.
Senator La Follette made a two
hour speech against article ten, and
the republican cloture proposal went
In as soon as he took his seat.

U. S. DEIiAY HURTS FRANCE
Material Motives Cause America
to Punish Others, Says Editor.
PARIS, Nov. 13. France Is de
scribed as the chief sufferer from the
failure of the United States to ratify
the German peace treaty, in an edi
torial by AJfred Capus, editor-in-chief
of Figaro, published last night in the
combined journal of the Paris news
papers, La Presse de Paris. The edi
torial, which is headed "To the Amer
ican Senate," asserts tnat France is
directly interested In having the
treaty ratified and put into effect im
mediately after the election so CTiat
France may be enabled to buy raw
materials at better prices than at
present. It says that the Americans
seem to take no account of this and
to view the treaty as a thing to be
dealt with purely on terms of Amer
ican policy, "without concerning
themselves with the serious manner
in which delays over the treaty Jeop
ardize our interests.
"Today, for motives purely mate
rial, they disavow this high agent and
to reach him who spoke in their name
they are going to punish us for our
compliance, for we are the first vic
tims of this disagreement, we who
await coal, leather, wheat and cotton
we who are buying at the rate of
nine francs for the dollar." -

ALLIES FIRM WITII RUMANIA
Supreme Council to Reply to Note
Within Two Days.
PARIS, Nov. 13. The supreme coun
cil today discussed the note to be sent
to Rumania In response to Ru
mania's recent note. The allied reply.
It is forecast, will be firm in tone and
will be forwarded to Bucharest with
in two days.
The report received from Sir George
Clerk, allied commissioner to Buda
pest, was considered as showing that
political conditions in Hungary were
much improved and that there were
indications of a coalition government
being organized shortly in Budapest
with which the peace conference could
deal. ";.'
Another subject taken .up by- the.
council was the elections recently
held in Silesia. A note to Germany
was framed advising it to disregard
these elections. A note also was sent
to Germany warning the Berlin gov
ernment that the sale of German avi
ation material is a violation of the
armistice and will not be tolerated.
$250,000,000 Revolving Fund
Provided for First Two Years
of Private Operation.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. Four im
portant points of the railroad re
organization were settled by the
house today during consideration of
the Esch railroad bill. Each of the
provisions approved has far-reaching
effects in providing capital to the car
riers, both in the period immediately
following government control and
afterward. With one exception all of
the provisions provoked sharp fights,
but enly one was changed.
In brief, the provisions approved by
the house provide:
Carriers must ask the interstate
commerce commission for general In
creases of rates within 60 days after
their return to private operation. .
Revenues of carriers, including short
lines and express companies, for the
first six months of private operation
are guaranteed by the government to
equal the corresponding: standard re
turn paid- as rental by the govern
ment during federal control.
Carriers' indebtedness to the gov
ernment, remaining after a settle
ment of the rental owed by the gov
ernment, may be funded for 10 years
on demand notes at 6 per cent inter
est, and
Carriers may obtain government
loans from a $230,000,000 revolving
fund during the first two years of re
newed private operation, such loans
to mature in five years, bear S per
cent Interest and to be secured.
The house rejected today the inter
state commerce committee's plan for
funding $775,551,000, owed by carriers
to the government for improvement
and betterments, and substituted a
proposal by Representative Dennison,
republican, Illinois, for the funding of
approximately $250,000,000 less than
that amount in framing permanent
legislation for the railroads.
As' soon as the so-called capital
provisions, including the one con
tinuing in effect the rates as in
creased by the railroad administra
tion, had been disposed of, the house
took up the labor sections, but after
continuing late into the evening, ad
journed until tomorrow with three
plans pending for the settlement of
labor disputes.
The labor plan of the bill would
set up two boards for the voluntarily
arbitration of disputes. Carriers,
enforcing a lockout of employes,
would be liable for damages as well
as labor unions for strikes.
Two substitutes for this plan were
offered, one by Representative Web
ster, republican, Washington, for com
pulsory arbitration before a- .board
selected by the president, whose de
cision would be final. Strikes or lock
outs under his plan would be pro
hibited and violation of this provision
would make the carrier or unions In
cluding members of the latter as
individuals, liable for damages.
The other substitute offered by
Representative Sweet, republican,
Iowa, would by law establish boards
of employes and rail executives sim
ilar to those existing in the pre-waf
period, and would carry with It no

BOX MAKERS WANT RISE
Klamath Falls Union to Ask. for
Investigation.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Nov. 13.
(Special.) The local box - makers'
union has decided to ask the state
conciliation board to conduct an in
vestigation of wage conditions and
cost of living with a view to raising
their wage scale. Since the organi
zation of the union last summer there
has been a constant attempt to bring
about the wage increase, but er
ployers refuse to treat with the
union, its leaders allege. They say
they do not wish to resort to a strike
to enforce recognition of the union
and its demands, and are willing to
arbitrate the matter if employers
will agree to that course.
The present minimum wage for box
factory workers, assert union heads,
is $3.75 for an eight-hour day. They
are asking $4.80 for eight hours.
