. The New Tear received a "'kidely and
varied welcome in New VorkCtty on

edly restrained. The customary crowds

play that previous years had known.

Prospects of a satisfactory compro-
mlse In the treaty situation in the
United States senate were not much
brightened by the developments of last
week. The compromisers were mire-
mittlng In their efforts, however, and
one of them. Senator Pomerene, after
a conference with Senator Lodge,
said: "I believe we will get together.
None of the reservations which the
majority of the senate adopted is as
bad as defeat, of the treaty. The coun
try wants the treaty ratified prompt
ly." The signs that a good many Demo
crats were ready to abandon the ad-
ministration's policy of ratification
without reservation caused Secretary
Tumulty to visit the capitol and study
tne situation ior tne president, tie 1
naa a long mit wiin .senator nucn-
cock, ana wnne neither would give I
the details of the conference, Mr.
Hitchcock said: "We've got a long
row to hoe yet before we reach a com
promise." He added that nothing Mr.
Tumulty said Indicated the slightest
sign that the president would yield In
his refusal to compromise in the fight.
Meanwhile the supreme council In
Paris, which had made up Its mind to
go ahead without waiting longer for
the United States, ran up against a
snag. It had fixed January 6 as the
day on which the protocol should be
signed and ratifications of the Ger-
xu utraijr ue acuwigea. ana xnen
discovered that the German delegates
did not have full power to act. Steps
to rectify this were taken. The su
preme council learned that there were
still some 80,000 German troops in up
per Silesia, where a plebiscite is to be
held, and it was decided Germany
j sh0uld be told it had better

President Wilson's second industrial
conference has put forward a tenta-
tive plan for the settlement of indus-
trial disputes and adjourned until Jan-
uary 12, when it will be ready to listen
t0 criticisms of its scheme from in-
terested parties. So far the' comments
n the plan have ranged all the way
fr0m warm praise to ridicule. As ma-
chfnery for conciliation the conference
proposes this
A national industrial tribunal, ap-
pointed by the president, to serve as a
board of appeal for the final adjust-
ment of wage and other controversies.
2. Twelve regional chairmen, ap-
pointed by the president, who will
'form boards on occasion from estab-
Hshed panels of employers and em-
ployees for the adjustment of parti c-
uiar disputes.
3. Regional boards of inquiry to in-
vestigate and report upon any dispute
j which either or both parties refuse to
I settle through a hoard of adjustment,
4. Umpires to whom a board may
J refer a dispute for decision.
I The plan does not propose to do
i away witn tne ultimate ngnt to striKe,
I to discharge or to maintain the closed
I or the open shop; but a decision un-
der it would be binding on both par-
ties, having the force and effect of a
1 trace agreement. Tne conference be-
neves policemen, nremen ana other
government employees should be de-
mea tne ngnt to StriKe, DUt not tne
right to associate for mutual protee-
j tion or the presentation of grievances.
