L. BRADFORD WASHINGTON, July 4.—-A treaty ot peace, based on the Versailles pact, may be the course which Presi dent Harding and Secretary Hughes will decide on as a basis for future relations with Germany, was pre dicted in well-informed quarters here today, ‘This, it is believed, ts likely to be the next step following the congres: sional declaration of a state of peace with the central powers, which Pres ident Harding signed Saturday, A new treaty, which is already be ting characterized by republican lead. ers as @ “treaty of amity and com | merce,” is one of the two courses | whieh Hughes in understood to have | prepared to take tw framing what will in effect be a peace with Ger- many. The other course was the accept. ance of the Versailles treaty in it - | welt, with the necenmary reservations and modifications to meet the ap proval of the United States senate. Hughes first proceeded on the hope that the Versailles treaty would be resubmitted to the senate, but later, realizing that a treaty retaining any sembiance of the Versailles document would not have a chance, he started on a treaty of peace with Germany, as announced exclusively by the United Prees. Hughes felt that the rights and in terests of the United States could be protected probably as well in a new treaty as in the Versailles decu- ment. If Hughes and Harding decide on & new treaty with Germany, it prob- ably will be submitted, when com: pleted, to the German government for signature thru Ellis Loring Dre | sel, American commissioner in Bertin RAILWAY UNIONS WILL ACCEPT CUT iTo Take Wage Reduction Under Protest BY CARL VICTOR LITTLE CHICAGO, July 4. — Two million railroad workers will bow to the edict jot the United States ratiroad labor board and accept a 12 per cont wage Jout, it was revealed to the United | Press today [Union representatives, who have been meeting here for several days to accept or reject the $400,000,000 annual wage slash, will issue a atate mont today agreeing that the mem bership of their organizations will work for lens money, according to reliable information.
