SCHOOL BUDGET IS TOPIC AT NIGHT SESSION OF BOARD One Director Proposes Lopping ' ' Off Expenses, While Another Suggests New Expenditures. PRUNING KNIFE IS APPLIED Amount Held Necessary Brought Down to Within $45,000 of Total Sum That Is Available. How to trim the pattern of the school budget so an to fit the size of theavailable school treasury was at tempted Saturday night to solve. Rut no sooner did one director pro pose lopping- off a thousand or two on Tne item than another director proposed adding that much or even more to another item. From towels to salaries, from Benson rdlytechnic expenditures no portables, thfcy wrangled, hurling questions at Clerk Thomas for several hours. By Juggling the school receipts. Clerk Thomas found he could make 13,468,523 out of them, which decreased the amount shy of the budget to only $45,000. Then began the process of pruning. " The amount for portables was re duced from $75,000 t(5 ?E0,000. The di rectors were well pleased with them selves, since it only left $25,000 more to trim. But when it was proposed to cut the $5000 allowance tor towels to $500, thus eliminating the paper towels. Director Plummer objected, deeming It unconducive to cleanliness. Director Thomas objected to the $30, 000 allowance for Benson Polytechnic, but other directors declared It was nec-J essary for the development of the school. They did decide to cut out the $3500 for the purchase of the Willbridge I property, but instead of finding ways fo'f other trimmings, they discovered places where larger sums were needed. It was decided $2000 should be al lowid for increasing the salaries of teaching principals, who recently pre sented their request before the board for a higher wage than the ta paid them In excess of their teaching salary for the additional admiristratlve du ties. The Principals' association, which held a star chamber session Saturday morning, made known the demands of incretf$ed salaries for those whose schools are attended by more than 600 pupils, but the increase of lower paid principals seemed more important to the board. Director Thomas opposed increasing the teaching principals' sal aries. Director Sommer breezed in after the board had been In session an hour and wanted to buy some more land for build ing sites in connection with the city park bureau, and work out a scheme of combined school yards and parks. The directors discussed selling Atkinson school, but abandoned the idea because Of -the question of what to do with the 300 children it housed. Thus they discussed lopping and add ing, while the budget gradually changed proportions, but In nowise decreased. RESERVATIONS ARE raj VICTORY (Continued From Pi One) well cleaned up," he added, but predic ations, he warned, are subject to many questions. Democrats were warned by Lodge to night that if they voted against reserva tions agreed upon, the treaty would be killed. Democrats dispute this, how ever. "If they vote to kill the treaty, they will never bring it back." he declared. "The men have been trying to ratify the treaty with reservations will feel they are through and the treaty will be dead without a doubt" : Cleared of the smoke of this week's parliamentary battle, the most spectacu lar perhaps In the senate's history, the treaty situation tonight is this: j All textual "amendments proposed to the treaty have been killed by the sen ate. WOBK IS CAUTIOUS Senators, working now in committee of the whole, are trying to draft the resolutions by which they will ratify the treaty. They are voting one para graph at a time. Clauses accepted will e written Into a formal reservation after all proposals have been wted on. Two clauses, favored by the senate for eign relations committee havs been ac cepted by the committee of the whola. Wrteen more remain to be passed on and then individuals will come forward with their own proposed reservations, which likewise will be passed on by the committee of the whole. COMMITTEE IS STHOXG m The committee .of the whole is practi cally another way of referring to the senate. Although it has an important meaning in the - house, about the only purpose of -the committee of the whole in the senate is to give bills and reso lutions a chance to be voted on a sec ond time. All senators attended, whether the senate Is in formal session or com mittee of the whole and the status automatically changes without even a word from- the chair. When the comr mtttee of the whole has finished with the reservations and has formally drafted them into a resolution, this com pleted resolution will be formaUy re ported to the senate and .voted on. Should it be rejected, there is where authorities fall out. Democrats say that If the resolution Is beaten, the only thing to do Is to offer another one which- is more likely to pass. Republi cans say that the treaty will automatic ally be dead. The point is to, be threshed out by the chair, who may in the end be over ruled. Some say the treaty cannot be killed until the senate by a two-thlrda vote decides to postpone consideration Indefinitely and that otherwise the treaty Is before the senate until disposed of. Should it fail to be ratified before the end of the special session it will be taken up in the regular session exactly where the special session left off. HL'LE MAY SAVE IT A two-thirds vote is required either to approve the resolution of ratification or to indefinitely postpone considera tion of a treaty. All motions to amend require only a majority whether in com mittee of the whole or In regular ses sion. Some textual amendments may be of fered again, but they have practically no hope of adoption. Textual amend ments would alter the text of the treaty and require approval of all allies, it is explained, whereas reservations are merely conditions attached to the resolu tion by which .the treaty is ratified and according to the preamble agreed upon by. the senate this week, only three al lies will have to approve them. out words which In debate were declared to constitute an affront to the president. Besides Chamberlain, Democrats who supported the reservation were: Gore, Reed. Spulth of Georgia and Walsh of Massachusetts and announcement was made that Shields was also paired la favor of it. It commanded the entire Republican strength. Reservations are seen to be winning by substantially the same majorities by which amendments were lost The senate Is moving forward in a groove which has-been marked out whereby Lodge will carry his reserva tions, and then will be unable to carry his completed list by two thirds vote, throwing the treaty back into the senate for reconsideration and probably pro longed contest of voting on the various proposals. This state of deadlock may be reached by the end of next week, but probably not until after that It is apparent that the issue upon which the country awaits, the ratifica tion or defeat of the treaty, is not fore casted either by defeat of all textual amendments or prospective adoption of Lodge reservations. The balance of power still rests with the mild reservationlsts, who will in the end have to choose between Lodge's program of committee reservations or nothing and ratification with softened reservations, .eaving Lodge outside the breastworks. MINERS ARE-DAZED BY rl0ERALJURT1)R0ER (Continued From Pica One) CHAMBERLAIN VOTES WITH LODGE ON RESERVATIONS Washington, Nov. . (WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) Adop tion of the second committee reserva tion concerning withdrawal from the Leaguer of Nations by a vote of 50 to 35 today indicates that the senate majority directed by Lodge holds its grip un impaired and vrlli have no difficulty in (carrying out liodge's program on the early batch of reservations. Nelson of Minnesota. Republican, led the efforts to Liter the language of the resolution so ft would remove the re flection upon President Wilson which he alleged It contained, which would permit notice of withdrawal from the league to be given by concurrent resolution of con gress without action by the president McCumber was the only other Republican who joined Nelson on this decision and by a margin of six votes Lodge's reso lution remained unchanged. Chamberlain of Oregon Joined the Republicans for the first time in the final vote by which the committee reservation was adopted. He had previously voted for all motions to modify It and to strike tory order shcnild be Issued, making the order restraining officials from further ing the strike a temporary injunction. Henry 'Varrum, representing the min ers, started his arguments, when in terrupted by the court. Judge Anderson told him the only question at issue was whether or not the Lever act making it unlawful for any person to conspire to limit the sup ply or distribution of food, or fuel in time of war was still in full force. "I am convinced that it is still in op eration," he said. "Congress, under the constitution, has the right to declare war and pass any regulations necessary for carrying on the war. The Lever law was passed under this authority. The war has not ended, the Judge declared, so the Lever act is still in force. Judge Anderson declared there was no doubt the Lever act was violated by the 6trike of coal miners. "This is a conspiracy to limit the sup ply of coal in time of war," he Bald. "It is the most lawless thing I ever heard of. It is revolution. "The government of the United States is supreme, even to the labor unions.'' After the judge had -stated his opin ion, Warrum stated that he was "through," and sat down, - Attorney William. V. Rooker at tempted to state the miners' position. The Judge told him there was no use of "beating the air." He said he was convinced of the justice of the govern ment's position. tions upon such guarantee that their alleged grievances will be adjusted. Judge Anderson's order was inter preted virtually as the end of the coal strike by operators here. "Every mine whistle will be blowing on Monday," was the prediction of one. "It will be virtually civil war if Judge Anderson's order is not obeyed, for it will mean that the men will be pitted against the laws of their government," said a high government official tonight ANGLO-SAXON WORLD FOR LEAGUE OF NATIONS (Confirmed From Pace Oil) British commonwealth, he overlooks thej fact that the author of the 'six to one1 vote, was none other than George Wash-! lngton. "The British commonwealth today isj rounded on the doctrines espoused by George Washington, which taught that the intolerance of a George the Third ! himself of German origin was incom-. patible with democratic government "There is as keen a sense of national Ism in Canada or Australia as in the spirit that Inspires the organization of the American Legion," continued Whyte. "If we denied Canada, for instance, that sens of nationalism, we would probably have another Boston tea party In Halifax harbor. "In all matters, save foreign policy, the six members of the British common wealth sire as independent as proud and as self-governing as America." A ring of Anglo-Saxon powers front ing the Pacific and shoulder to shoulder in common defense was his prediction in connection with the possible eventuality of misunderstanding with Japan. The United States would not stand alone in such an hour, he averred, but with her, in common cause, would be Canada, New Zealand and Australia. The speaker had no criticism of the senate's treaty debate insofar as it la directed at a thorough understanding of the obligations Involved, but he ex pressed his opinion that delayed action was unfortunate. S Dr. Edward H. Pence was the first speaker before the Civic league Satur day afternoon, appearing in advocacy of the civilian reserve and the American Legion. A. C. Newill presided and presented. the speakers. Mr. and Mrs. Whyte left for Seattle Saturday afternoon. Heroic Deid Brought Home for Interment New York, Nov. t.
