Plans for Action on Treaty
(By tht Associated Press.)
Washington, July 13. Consideration
by the Senate of the peace treaty with
itt League of Xationa covenant
actually to open tomorrow with the
meeting of the Foreign Relatione Com
mittee transcends in interest anything
expected to come before Congress this
week.
Both branches of Congress, however
have a busy legislative week ahead,
with debate on prohibition enforcement
legislation expected to continue in the
House aad with final disposition of the
agricultural and sundry civil appropria
tion bills, vetoed by the President, to
be decided. A number of committees,
both those engaged ia drafting legis
lation and those conducting investiga
tiont will hold meetings.
Foreign Relations Com. Meets Today.
The Senate Foreign Relatione Com
mittee, to which tht peace treaty was
self after it nad been laid bef oMTlTie
8enatt by President Wilson Thursday,
ill hold a special meeting tomorrow
to decide on the course to bt followed
in considering the document Although
opponents of the League of Nations
covenant held a conference today, there
was no indication that any plan nf
action either-in committee-or on the
floor of the Senate had been definitely
agreed on.
Will Wilson B Invited?
Committee sentiment aa. to inviting
the President to attend bearings oa tht
treaty and to discuss tha various treaty
questions still is divided, with a number
of leaders strongly opposed to such In
formal procedure and still favoring for
maJ.acUoa by w 8e wUavthsough ap
tioa of a resolution to obtain desired
information from the President or the
State department.
"lmmdUte Program,
The immediate program for consider
ation of tha treaty, Republican leader
said tonight, will be itt careful study
of the Foreign Relation Committee.
In this connection, it is planned to
act on several resolutions calling upon
the 8tate Department for paper needed
by the committee in its examination
of the treaty. These are the resolu
tions of Chairman Lodge, requesting
a copy of the alleged secret treaty be
tween Japan and Germany; of Senator
Borah, Republican, of Idaho, requesting
a copy of an alleged memorandum by
Secretary Lansing, Colonel House and
General Bliss protesting against the
Shantung agreement, and of Senator
LaFollette, Republican, of Wisconsin,
calling for papers concerning alleged
action by Costa Rica on peace question.
Delay la Offering "Reaervatlone."
Not for some time, probably two or
three weeks, according to the Republi
can leaders, is it planned to launeh
the reservation to the treaty which are
ia process of drafting. Most of this
week, it ia exiected, will lie required
to study and disenss the lengthy
treaty.
Regardless of whether President Wil
son or other members of the American
peace delegation are invited to appear
before tht committee, it is regarded at
certain that some time will be spent
at the outset in j careful study of the
official draft.
New Leader Swanaan Speak Today.
Debate in the Senate on treaty sub
jects will be renewed in the Senate to
morrow with a prepared address by
Senator Swanson, of Virginia, Demo
cratic member of tht Foreign Rela
tions Committee who discussed peace
subjects at length recently with Presi
dent Wilson.
Daylight Savings Repeal RUcr.
The House, tomorrow will take trp the
$34,000,000 agricultural appropriation
bill, vetoed by President Wilson yes
terday because of its daylight saving
repeal rider, as special business by
unanimous content. Action it planned
on a motion to' override tht Presi
dent' veto with advocates of tht re
peal provision doubtful of obtaining
the necessary two-third majority to
override the veto. J
Separata Bill Probable.
If the veto it sustained it is pro
posed to repai tht appropriation bill
without change in it money provi
aion and with the daylight repeal
clause eliminated. Tht measure, it ia
believed tben would bt passed immedi
ately by the Senate and champion of
the repeal legislation forctd to tura
to tht separate bill passed by tht
House early in tht session for tbaadon
meat of the daylight saving.
Prohibition Enforcement.
Tht prohibition enforcement bill,

tural appropriation bill .with widt dis

Swift Lesson In Practical Eco

(By The Associated Press.)
London, July 12. Seldom if ever hat
our people received such a swift aad
vivid lesson in practical economics at
the British government has given thft
nation by . the notirt in the Toute of
Commons on Wednesday that It waa rait
ing tht price of eoal sis shillings per
ton from .next Wednesday. The re
sponse has been immediate and specific
and cornea from almost every branch
of industry ia the Kingdom ; from ateel
n anttiacturert, shipbuildsrs, thip own
ers, railway manager, gna works and
almost all aorta of manufacturers and
industries down to lnnndries and bak
eries. They explain just what tht gov
ernment order will Cost their concerns
and 'serve notice, also, that they must
pass the cost oa to the buyers and con
sumers.
Handicap ladaatrita.
Great export Industrie detlare that
the inrreaae ia the price of coal will
handicap them in their competition with
other countries aad may mean, ia some
instances, a stoppage of tlieir plants
and an Inrreaae in unemployment. The
general public U told bow much the
higher price nf eoal will inflate living
expenses. The government apparently
meant this to be an object lesson as
to what would result from the prevalent
agitation for higher wages and shorter
working hours. It also seems to be try
ing to throw, cold water oa the cam
paign foe the nationalisation of indus
tries by trying to show that gnverameat
management does not mean that wages
can be increased and price decreased
indefinitely.
Labor Taken I'n Gaaattet.
Labor hns taken up the gauntlet,
charging the government with wishing
to kill the' plan pf nationalisation and
also declared that the government it
favoring capitalists nd misrepresenting
condition by bungling bookkeeping.
During the last stagea of tht war the
government was running the railroads
at a loss, according to a statement made
before the House .of Commons by Sir
Erie Geddes, minister for national
service sad reconstruction. This lows is
now at I be rate of sixty million pounds
per year. The deficit In. the eoal in
dustry is estimated at sfl,O0O0. The
subsidy on bread, that is tht difference
between the cost of wheat and telling
prices, has amonntrd to 30,000,000. It
is estimated that nine penny loaf would
cost a shilling if so hi on an uncon
trolled market. The government holds
thnt the inrreaae of six shillings was
necessitated by increased wage.
