mittce, in chart; of the fight on the floor
then called for' the previous Question
and there was a buzz ia the chamber
at the voting began.
There never was any dpubt aa to the
outcome, leaders taid, although the effect
of riressur from labor leader against
adoptioaof the bill was variously inter
preted. Representative Kitchin, Demo
crat of North Carolina, iir the closing
argument against the bill, declared that

roads would be handed tack "to their
g-waer en March the first, regardless

rrament ownership waa not involved. ,
I ' Nothing Unfair To Lab, v
Representative Crisp, Democrat, Geor
gia, said tha bill contained nothing
unfair to labor but that labor would
oppose any legislation returning the car
riers to private operation.
In opposing - the bill Representative
Doelsoi, Republican, Illinois, said his
i'itude waa not aa indorsement of gov
ernment ownership or tha Plumb plan,
but his objection was to the financial
provision.
Mr. DeaisoB opposed filing rate
of rctarif on rail inveatmeuta for "two
years, declaring it ;. was paternalism

Washington, Feb. 21. The first of
the reservations attached to th peace
treaty last November was readopted un
chsnged by an increased majority today'
in the Senate after the treaty' irrecon
cilable foes, holding th balance of
power, had balked the' efforts of Bcpub-'
iicn and Democratic leader to secure
modification in the interest of compro
mise. The outcome, also involving th de
fection of four more Democratic sena
tors from the ranks of thos who have
stood against all reservations, generally '
wa accepted by all elements in tho
senate aa tightening tb treaty dead
lock and bringing tha question ef rati-
fication on step " nearer the political
campaign.

Th reservatio ea which the Senate
acted relates to withdrawal from mcm-t
herahip in the league, providing that
thl nation shall be the sole judge
whether it obligations hav been ful
filled ia case it desire to withdraw and
that notice of withdrawal may be given
by a concurrent resolution of Congress.
The vote on its adoption wa 45 te 20v...

these," Senator Ashurst, Arisona,
Fletcher, Florida; Headetaoa, Nevada'
and Nugent, Idaho, had eteod ea all
previous roll call steadfastly against
any qualifteatioa ef the treaty.
Oae ef the four, Seataor Ashurst, an
nounced to th Senate beforehand his
intention to go ever to the reaervatisn

ratification of som sort wa a prime
necessity, he (aid, h wa ready to vot
"for auy reservation or amendment that

"If we will vot ear own conviction
and not those of th President," h told'

It was hy a bare majority, S3 te
that the Senate rejected th change in
the reservation framed by Republican'
leader and submitted by Senator LodKe
