Laying ;i.-idc its lei.--!aii'e iusir.es the senate by unanimous cons.unt, took up the treaty of Versailles again today and r -unu d in all its vigor the ratification debate interrui ted lat Nov mber. The opening gun in th" new phase of tho ?;,ht was fired by the treaty's Irreconcilable foes. Sen. McCormick, republican, Illinois, reopening the discussion with a speech bitterly a sa 1 1 i n cr many provisions of the locum-rt and counselling tne republican leaders not to consent to further compromise. Hitchcock Talks. He was followed by Sen. McCumber. republican. North Dakota, a leader among the treaty'. republican friends, who flayed the iuads of both parties for their failure to compromise und declared that "child's play obstlnancy" alone stood In the way of ratification. Drawn into the debate by the charges of the North Dakota senator, S n. Hitchcock, of Nebraska, the democratic leader, assorted that the democrats already had "abandoned" their previous stand and had offered compromise, but that the republicans wer- demanding nothing short of complete democratic surrender. Once it got under way. the debate speedily revived the whole scale of issues, which the senate had debated from May to November of last year. The subject technically under discussion, a motion by Sn. 1-odpe. of Massachusetts, to modify the republican reservation on withdrawal, was not mentioned until late in the day when Mr. Idge took the floor to explain briefly his reasons for moving for the change. Continue Negotiations. When the debate was reopened the private negotiations for .a compromise apparently passed into the doldrums and some of the treaty's most active friends on both sides of the chamber predicted there probably would be no settlement until discussion on the floor had spent itself. The negotiations are expected to continue, however, and some senators believe they may yet bring an agreement that will permit ratification. Reinstatement of the treaty as the foremost subject of senate consideration was accomplished without a word of debate and without any more of the dramatic than micht attend the introduction of a private ror.si-.tn bill. The only outword evidence of the unusual was the crowded gallery, where empty seats had been in the majority for many weeks but where scores stood in line all of today hop- ful of a fdimpse into the senate chamber.

The highest group bid was $14,0 30,000 by the International Mercantile Marine for nine ships Including the Leviathan, which went unopposed, and the record bid for a single ship was $2.000,000 for the Callao by the American Ship and Commerce company, doubling in one bid the offer of the International Mercantile Marine for the vessel.

Final agreement on railroad reorganization legislation was reached late today by tho house and senate conferees who planned to have the report ready for their signatures tomorrow so it could bo presented to tho rVuse the following day. Asido from textual changes the general features of tho compromise bill follow: Tho lines agreed upon recently by tho conferees with the exception of labor provisions which was modified so as to provide for a federal appeal board appointed by the president and consisting of nine members equally divided between the employes, employers and the public. As previously agreed upon this board was to have consisted of live members. New Lalor Provision. The new labor provisions amounts virtually to a redrafting of the earlier agreement and results directly, according to Sen. Cummins of Iowa, chairman of the . senate conferees from developments incident to the strike of maintenance of way employes, which was called off before the men walked out. Sen. Cummins said he laid the draft of the new provision before Director General Hines yesterday and the revised section was said to conform In principle with the director general's views. As originally proposed five boards composed equally of employes and employers would have been established to deal with labor disagreements and their conclusions would have been subjected to the approval of a federal board consisting of live members appointed by the president with the senate's consent. Instead, this plan was changed by the confercs to provide that while adjstmrnts of labor differences might bv mad ,y representatives of the men and the carriers in caies where a strike was threatened which would tie up interstate commerce, sub-t:.i-ü.u of th.e di-pute to th fed- : a! 1 oard Wus made compulsory belore c-s.-ation of work occurred and

He declared that a-though cctual war had ended more than a year ago, the present republican congress lias steadfastly refused to relieve the country of present h'?avy war taxation. He declared that this same republican congress hts also tteadfastly refused to enact one piece of legislation for the benefit of t men who fought for the United Slatt-3 In the World war. The Illlnclsan eloquently plead the cause of democracy, pointing to the constructive legislation enacted by a democratic congress under the leadership of Pres't "Wilson.

Th.e n-xt two years will find an additional "O.O pnpl. in the city and by lOT' the population will be 14 0, CC0 and in the year of 10 4 0 reach th mark of 200,000. Outlines IMan. With th.se conservative figures confronting him the engineer outlined the proposed extension of the "tOtcr works accordingly. At present he north pumring station Is overtaxed, being cdiliged to furnish 22.000,000 gallons of water per day while its actual capacity is only 19.000,00-0 gallons. To maintain pressure at the south part of the city which waauld be sufficient for tire protection would mean the bursting of the water mains. According to the engineer, it Is not necessary to maintain such a hich pressure, but instead have booster pumps located about the city which would furnish the necessary pressure without endangering the present water mains. The same amount of pressure Is not needed in the residential section for fire protection as is needed in sections were there are eightstory buildings. When the pressure is increased the city is only causing leaky water mains and increasing the demands for larger sewers to carry away the water. The present water mains will not permit the water to be carried to the far end of the city. Mr. Arttlngstall suggested that boenster pumps be placed in various localities about South Iicnd. As an example he cited placing one in the Iafayette sehool yard which would boost the pressure from that district to the south portion of the city. And the same poli'-y might be carried out in other portions of South Bend. To llrc-ot Stations. Th.e locdeal and least expensive move for thr- city to make, if possible, will be the erection of a pumping station in the vicinity of Indiana av. and Walnut st. The place was cited by the engineer be cause of its height and the as" with which water can he furnished from this locality to the south and southwest portion of South VJer.d, which is said to be the most rapidly crowing ser-tion of the city. However, it is not known a.s yd whether the engineers will bo aide to locate water in this vicinity but tests will be conducted at once to ascertain this fact. If the Indiana av. location is founel unable to svrply waUr the vicinity near Feck's lake will be the second place considered f-r the construction of a pumping station. However, this location is considerably lower than the lirst and will inerease the opf rating expense to a certain extent and will :r.-an th.use of booster pumps to reach a'.! parts of the south part of the city. The property owned by the water works department on Fertige a v. was also cited as a location for a booster pump station. Th- engineers are in hopes of reaching watt-r at the f.rst cite becaujo e.f conditions making it the m'-st economical station to operat, a to the fact that the water will not have to be forced urhill.
