Protest to Jefferis.
Washington, Feb. 9. (Snecial
Telegram.) O. M. Smith, president
of rthc Omaha Grain ; exchange, Jrt
a telegram" to Congressman" Jefferis,
outlined today the serious car situa
tion in the wheat section of Nebras
Ka. Last week Mr. Jefferis received
simrlar telegram from the Spring
field Community club, calling atten
tion to the car shortage and request-
ing the congressman to do what he
could to bring relief. The telegram,
which was signed by A. G. Harberg,
states that Springfield is receiving
less than one car a month, and that
the farmers are unable to "cash in"
on their grain. -; Banks are. loaned
up "to their limit, merchants are car
rying large book-accounts, renters
are unable to make payments and
the generaf scarcrfy of money in the
community is causing almost a fi
nancial panic, Mr. Harberg said.
Saturday Mr. Jefferis had a con
ference with Freight Traffic Director
.Wright of the U. S. Railroad Ad
ministration and went over the
Springfield situation with him. Mr.
Wright admitted that the car short
are was serious, but said it was not
confined t6 Nbraska, but extended
throughout the middle west. He
slated that a special investigation
would be made of the Springfield
case to determine whether the resi
dents of that community were being
discriminated against.
According to the best obtainable
information there are $25,000,000
worth of wheat, $100,000,000 worth
of corn, besides quantities of ca-ttle
and hogs in Nebraska that should be
on their way to market at this time
or within the next 30 days, before
spring rains will make the roads im
possible and the fanners will be just
that much longer getting their grain
ad cattle to market with the pos
sibility of a slump in prices.
Congressman Jefferis is . making
eveTy ertort to get relief to the
Springfield people, . realizing the
seriousness of the situation. -,

REFORMS ASKED
FOR IN RUNNING
AMERICAN ROADS
,
Federal Director of Operations
Advocates Changes After
Railways Are Returned '
To Companies.-
Washington, Feb. 9. Reviewing
"efficiencies and .economics accom
plished in various phases of railroad
operation by the railroad adminis
tration." W. T. Tyler, director of
Loperations, recommended, in his an
nual report looay 10 wireciur ucn
eral Hines that "many effective re
forms be continued after ttic roads
are returned to private control,
March I. His recommendation! in
cluded: "Tht arrangements be made to
set up, at least in skeletonized form,
the organization necessary to con
trol movement of traffic to and via
ports whenever traffic conditions
warrant the placing of embargoes
and the issuance of permits.
That every effort be made to con
tinue and extend the pooling of lake
and tidewater tolls, the railroads
maintaining the necessary organiza
tions to handle such traffic.
That the railroads continue to es
tablish uniformity in rules govern
ing car supply for various important
commodities handled. '
That the campaign for the more
effective utilization of equipment by
heavier loading be continued.
' Co-ordination of Terminals.
That the co-ordination of termi
nals be made a continuing poncy.
That the centralized control of
cars b? continued under proper lim
itations and the central organiza
tions of the railroads themselves.
Mr. Tyler emphasized the bene
fits derived from the permit system
for control of freight shipments. He
pointed out the congestion which re
sults from indiscriminate efforts to
mov freight for which the roads
haVe no outlet.
The remedy, he said, is the con
trol of this freight at its source
thrpugh the permit system to the
measure ot the consignee s aDiuty
to accept, the railroads' facilities, or
the ports' capacity.
7 Common Use of Cars.
Referring to the common-use of
cars, Mr. lyier saia tins was suc
cessful not only with reference to
box and stock cars, but particularly
so in the case of refrigerator cars,
the .m6vement of fruits and vege
tables having increased more than
20 per cent in 1919.
Mr, Tyler said locomotives were
in a better condition as a wnoie
than ever before during the period
of heavv business and that while
they numbered above 65,100 an ade
quate program tor new power
should he adopted. A comprehen
sive car Duuaipg program aiso
should be adopted, he said.
"The benefits from the'unification
of terminals," said Mr. Tyler, "are
so many that it is to be hoped that
there may be serious consideration
fgiven to each case of consolidation,
unification or co-ordination before
it is discounted."
He a,dded that 844 terminals had
been consolidated during tederai
control.
Peace Treaty Fight
Taken to Senate Floor
(Continued From J'lrnt Page.)
on the motion to suspend the rules
and another on sustaining the vice
president when he overruled Sena
tor Norns' point of order against
the motion to reconsider the ratifi
cation vote. Thf latter resulted in
a count of 62 tc- .0, the irreconcil
ables alone refusing to back up :the
ruling of the chair. Later senator
Norris made a speech bitterly crit
icising the parliamentary metJwds
by which the treaty's reconsidera
tion was accomplished.
- , Stipulation Not Binding.
In asking that the" committee be
instructed to return the Tublican
reservations along with the treaty.
Senator Lodge declared the stipula-J
tion would bind iro one and was
requested merely1 to get the reser
vations back before the senate for
possible revision. When that has
been .done the republican leader is
expected to propose modifications
agreed oa by the disbanded bi- par
tisan compromise conference, thus
opening again the whole field of
compromise discussion.
In all quarters it was emphasized
tonight that the smoothness of the
day's proceedings was not to be
taken as assuring any agreement be
tween the parties on reservations.
Although many senators- prof eSsei
to be: very fiopetul Of ratification.
it was conceded everywhere that
many differences
fferences still stood in the
way. Ihere -were evidences also
that the irreconcilable grotrp had
plans of its own to magnify these
differences as much as possible.

PARTY REFUSES
WILSON'S ADVICE
AS TO ARMY BILL
House democrats in Qaucus
Go on Record Against
Universal Military ,
Training,
(Cent(n From First Pc.)
deems it wise to commit itself in a
national election,
"The present disturbed state of the
world does not permit such sureness
with regard to America's obligations
as-to allow us lightly to decide noon
this great question upon purely
military grounds while the demon
strated advantage to the use of the
country which came from military
service in the war plainly suggests
mat tn itie national interest quite
apart trom military considerations
the moderate.and carefully conduct
ed course of military training may
have the highest possible advantage
In our discussion of the subject you
will recall I gave my approval jn
principle to the various very moder
ate training projects suggested by
tne general statt and 1 would bi
very glad to have vou convev to an
propnate members of the house, who
will attend the caucus my strong
feeling against action by the caucus
which will tend to interpose an arbi
trary party determination to the con
sideration which this subject should
receive from the best thought of the
members of the house, considering
alike the national emergencies which
may confront us and the great disci
plinary and other advantages which
such a system plainly promises for
the young men ot the country.
. No Personal Criticism.
Debate in the caucus by those fa
voring; universal training reflected
the presidents stand. Renresenta
tives Kitchin, Worth Carolina; Flood,
Virginia, and Dent, Alabama, were
among the speakers opposing the ac
ceptance ot his argument. 1 hough
urging rejection of the - president's
stand, these and other democrats of
fered no personal criticism of eithef
the president or Secretary of War
Baker, who recently announced his
suport of universal training.
Assertion of Independence.
After the caucus some of the demo
crats frankly stated that their action
was an assertion of their independ
ence" in the belief that tbev knew
the sentiment of the country better
than either the president or the party
leaders.
Reading, of the president's letter
virtually ended business before the
caucus and almost immediately after
ward Representative Caldwell sought
to blok any acrfon by moving ad
journment. His proposal was lost
by an overwhelming vote. General
debate was then precipitated by Rep
resentative Ayres, Kansas, "offering
the resolution recording the demo
crats against universal training..
Speakers did not discriminate be
tween universal training and service
the latter including- the enrollment
of the youths into the army and as
finally adopted the resolution was so
changed as to declare opposition of
Doth.
Though the debate was "held close
to the issue before the caucus, fre
quent references to the president
and Secretary Baker were injected
into the discussion. Representative
Kitchin declared "with all due defef
ence""to these officials he believed
there could be no objection to the
house, stating its position, especially
since both officials had "put the
party on record" by announcing an
Wilson's Stand. ;
, Mr. Kitchin, in" explanation of the
president's stand, told his colleagues
that Mr. Wilson's illness had "un
fortunately" removed the executive
from an intimate touch with national
affairs and sentiment. In this con
nection he read a telegram from
Representative Ferris, Oklahoma,

sional campaign committee1', tfeclar
ing "the country is opposed to uni
versal training.''
The opinion of Mr. Ferris was
cited by Mr. Kitchin as that of one
"who knows the feeling of every dis
trict in the country," who prompted
a .response from the floor: "Yes,
Ferris is running for the rer.ate."
Taking up the attack started by
the .North Carolina member, Repre
sentative Flood declared "it was all
right to talk of waifing for the na
tional convention, but he added that
the conventiton "might get the idea
we are for training" by the silence of
her members.
Answering both these speeches,
Representative Caldwell - declared
that every post of the American Le
irion hv the action today at Indian-
tpolis had gone on record in favor ,
ot universal trailing. e urgea mat
political expediency favors a declara
tion for such tra'ning rather than a
st-ind against it. Representative
Olney, Massachusetts, and Fisher,
Tennessee, both member of the
house military committee, along
with Mr. Caldwell, also urged no
action at present, but the ohcr
democratic committeemen opposed
them or remained or remained si
lent. Score Join in Debate.
More than a score of democrats
joined in the debate, but few added
substantially to the statement of the
leaders in the fight. Some opposi
tion was manifest against universal
training on the ground that too
many youths would be called from
farm and industrial pursuits, cur
'.ailing production which was said to
be the "greatest need of the coun
try" Discussion of universal training
wa3 not confined to the democratic
caucus. In the senate during the
'day Senator McKellar, democrat,
Tennessee, declared that the system
would open the way to a "military
oligarchy," while in a formal state
ment Senator Gore, democrat, Okla
homa, declared the training would
prove the "egg of militarism."
Cloak room discussion among both
democrats and republicans also re
flected varying feelings toward the
plan, while in the house Represerf'
tative Kahn. republican, made pub
lic a letter from the army recruiting
service declaring that more than
190,000 recruits would be needed
this year to maintain the army at its
authorized strength.
Though record votes were taken
in the democratic caucus, these were
not made public. The 17, however,

stand of the house democrats were
understood to have been Represen
