WASHINGTON, March 19. Oppos ing regulatory legislation for the packing Industry, Patrick Brennan, president of the Independent Packing company of Chicago, told the house agriculture committee today that he started in business in 1S35 "under the shadow of the five big packers" and was now doing a gross annual business of 129,000,000. This, he said, was evidence that the independent packer could compete successfully with the "big five." "The industry cannot be substan tially disturbed by regulation like that proposed without an effect upon the farmer," he added, "and the con sumer must pay the bill in increased cost of Impaired service." Dr. J. M. Wilson, president of the Wyoming Wool Growers' association. said regulation would not only harm meat producers, but would injure for eign trade.

The motion to reconsider, made by Sen ator Robinson, democrat, Arkansas, was thrown out on a point of order and no appeal was taken. Entire Lineup 67 to 39. The lineup of the entire senate to day was 57 for ratification to ss against, including members paired. Four months ago the total alignment was 42 for ratification and 53 against, with one seat vacant. Eighteen democrats today changed from their position of November 19. Seventeen who then voted against ratification favored It today, while one. Senator Shields of Tennessee, who voted for ratification November is and since has become known as an "irreconcilable," today voted against ratification. Of the democrats who switched to support the treaty, 16 voted for rati fication and two additional. Senators Gerry of Rhode Island and Jones, New Mexico, paired for ratification." The 15 were: Ashurst, Beckham, Chamber lain, Fletcher, Henderson, Kendrick, King, Nugent, Phelan, Pittman, Rans dell. Smith of Maryland, Trammell, Walsh of Montana and Wolcott. Irreconcilable Gain Only One. In the republican ranks the "irrec oncllables" gained but one new ad herent, Senator Penrose of Pennsyl vania, who voted for ratification four months ago, but today was paired as an opponent. Twelve republican "bitter enders" Borah, Brandegee, Fernald, France, Gronna, Johnson of California, Knox, La Foilette, McCor mick, Moses, Norris and Sherman voted today as they did four months ago, against ratification, while three others, Penrose, Fall of New Mexico and Poindexter were paired today in opposition. On November 19, benator Poindexter voted in opposition, while Senator Fall was not present, but his opposition was announced. In sending the treaty back to the president the senate acted on the mo tion of Senator Lodge, who declared that to bring the question of ratifica tion again before the senate would be a waste of time and delay public service. Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska, pleaded that the action be withheld for a few days because there "alwayB Is a chance of action." He added that if a reasonable delay brought no pros' pect of ratification the move of the republican leader might be concurred in with virtual unanimity. . Peace Resolution Blocked. Senator Hitchcock also objected to a request by Senator Lodge for unan imous consent to take another vote on ratification tonight, made after Senator Robinson's reconsideration motion had been ruled out. Just before the senate adjourned. Senator Knox moved to take up his resolution declaring a state of peace. The attempt will be renewed Monday and republican leaders expect the res olution or some similar measure to be adopted. President Wilson has indi cated his opposition to such a course, however, and should he veto a peace declaration the leaders are uncertain whether they could muster the neces sary two-thirds of both senate and house to pass it. The Knox resolution, introduced in December, provides for repeal of the declaration of war, for retention of certain concessions granted by Ger many in signing the peace treaty and for a redeclaration of the hope of congress that some tribunal may be created to adjust international dis putes. Wilson Informed of Action. Immediately after the vote Sen ator Lodge offered a resolution pro posing to return the treaty to the president with the Information that It could not be ratified. Senator Hitch cock, administration leader, objected to immediate action on the resolution. On the rollcall 21 democrats broke away from the administration ranks and voted for ratification.

Senators Brandegee and Borah of the lrreconcilables objected, unless pairs wer arranged for absent sen ators. Senator Borah said he was prepared "to talk all night" Senator Hitchcock said nothing could be gained by another Immediate vote and suggested that the motion be left pending for a day or two and give senators "time to cool off." "Then there might be some adjust ment made," said the administration leader. "After a year of debate we're enti tled to have an end," said Senator Lodge. "The country, the senate and the president are entitled to it." Senator Norris forced a quorum call. Before the final defeat of the treaty the senate today had adopted the modified reservation preamble worked out in the bi-partisan conference un der which affirmative acceptance of the reservations by the other powers would not be required. The preamble provided that "failure on the part of the allied and asso ciated powers to make objection to said reservations and understandings prior to the deposit of ratification by the United States shall be taken as a full and final acceptance of such res ervations and understandings by said powers.. The preamble, was offered by Sena tor Lodge of Massachusetts, the re publican leader, and accepted without a roll call. Provision Is Defeated. Byt a vote of 43 to 41 the senate refused to write into the preamble a provision that the ratification should not be binding unless the president and fication last November, snarpiy re sented President Wilson's attitude to ward compromise on , the covenant and the criticism expresseo. in ino president's recent letter to Senator Hitchcock, or senators wno mvui cu ratification with reservations. ine opinions of 65 senators as expressed by their votes should be respected by the chief executive, ne saiu. .Ttoc-nrriiner the president s staie r, that h could not see the dif ference between a nuiiiner ana a mua nullifier, Senator Owen said: "Every senator comes unaer ino sweeping conditions of the president. for every senator, as rar us X know, has voted for reservation after reser vation."

After Senator Cummins had ruled out the motion of enator RobinBon, Republican Leader Lodge asked unan. lmous consent for an Immediate and final vote on ratification.

The vote on returning the treaty to the president was 47 to 37, all of the latter being democrats. Six demo crats. Gore, Klrby, Reed, Shields, Walsh of Massachusetts and Williams, voted with the republicans for the Lodge resolution. Reconsideration Is Blocked. After adoption of the non-ratification resolution, however. Senator Rob inson, democrat, Arkansas moved to reconsider the ratification vote and Senator Watson, republican, Indiana, moved to lay that motion on the table. The mild reservation republicans voted with the democrats against Senator Watson's motion and the ef fort to table failed. That brought Senator Robinson's reconsideration motion back before the senate. The vote on the Watson motion to table VICTOR senate acted. The preamble, as it then came up for the final fight on ratification: "That the senate advise and consent to the ratification of the treaty of peace with Germany, concluded a Versailles on June 23, 1919, subject to the following reservations and under standings, which are hereby made a part and condition of this resolution of ratification which Is not to take effect or bind the United States until the said reservations and understand ings adopted by the senate have been GERMAN OUTLOOK BETTER Conviction Grows That Ebert Gov ernment Is Seen re. . LONDON, March 19. Diplomatic dispatches from Germany filed Wed nesday give a much more optimistic view of the general situation, not withstanding that there had been more reports of Spartaclst uprisings. This Is a complete reversal of the opinion expressed Tuesday night by the same diplomats, who then inti mated that the Spartaclst activities were more to be feared man tne KaoD government. It was stated at the foreign office last evening that It could not be ex pected that the Spartaclsts would cease their agitation Immediately the Kapp government collapsed. Official dispatches indicate, however, that if the national assembly, lea Dy tne men whq once before put down a Spartaclst attempt, takes a strong stand against agitators, the h,bcrt government may be assured of sound foundation, at least for a time.
