Fight on Four-Power,
Treaty Will Fail, Be
lief in. Washington
Washington.— Shrewd political wise
acres forecast that the determined ef
fort. which will soon be launched in
the Senate, to take the issue of' the
settlements of- the Washington treaty
* before ihe electorate in next fall’s cam
paign., will face an impenetrable wall.
Itiis the universal opinion in Wash
ingun that the treaty with-Great Brit
ain, France- and Japan will get no
farther than the United States Senate
for decision^ .it is, indeed, very prob
able that the treaty will be ratified,
after reasonable debate, at an early
date.
Not only are the “mild reservathm
iste” in the Senate coming out rapidly
for the treaty, but that tenacious bloc,
the “irreconcilables, ” except the most
rabid of that small coterie, are divided.
Senator liafollette, Republican, Wis
consin, and Reed, Democrat, have defi
nitely committed themselves against
the treaty Senator Borah, Repub
lican, has also indicated that he will
Qght the treaty.
Both political partiesseem to abhor
the idea--of injecting into the next
campaign a treatv issue. Delay would
only be the resultant, and tbe economic
resources of the- United States, like
those of the rest of the world, cannot
bear increased burdens of taxation for
maintaining mammoth machinations
for war. Getting, down to practical
politics* it is evident that both parties
are aware of tbe universal good will
towards the- Washington conference
aod its-fruits, and they hardly have the
bad judgment and audacity to oppose
reduction of armaments.
Allies Grant Germany.

garding the- note; Date of: issuance

10-Hour Day Set By
„ LL S. Railroad Board
Chicago.—Slashing extra pay provi
sions for the first two Ihours of over
time after the regular eight-hour day
from rules governing railway mainten
aoce of way employes, the United States
railroad labor board has set up a
schedule of ten hours a day at the reg
ular hourly wage for common laborers,
in new rules announced to replace the
national agreement made under the
Government control.
The priuctple that eight consecutive
bouts shall constitute a day's work is
retained, however, and time and one
half pay is granted after ten hours’
worn:.
The new provisions make possible a
ten-hour day without penalizing the
railroads, which were compelled, under
the Federal agreement, tu pay time
and one-half after eight hours. Prac
tically all section gangs work more
than eight hours a day, due to time
necessary for traveling to and from the
point of operations and because of the
seasonal nature of the work, making
long hours necessary to lake advantage
of good weather.
