Senator Reed occupied all of today's three-hour session and intimated at adjournment that he would continue for several hours tomorrow.

Democrat, Alabama, circulated on the Democratic side a petition for It soon had more than twice the signatures needed to secure a vote on invocation of the rule. The Republicans acted more slowly, the mild reservation group being fearful of alienating the Irreconclla-bles on whose votes they are counting for a safe majority to put over the reservation program of the foreign relations committee.

Late in the day. however, Senator Hale of Maine, one of the mild reservation Republl cans, passed around a petition and tin of Virginia. Whether they would do so tomorrow was not clear, some of the leaders indicating that It might depend on the course of developments during the day's debate. On the Republican side it was said the petition of the mild reservation ists would be put in only If action were unduly delayed. Under the cloture rule, a vote on limiting debate cannot be taken until two days after submission of a petition, so that the limitation could not be made effective until Saturday.

In this connection The Times Recorder cannot forbear again calling attention to the splendid results achieved in the publishing industry through collective bargaining and voluntary arbitration. For something like a quarter of a century thtf newspaper publishing business has been practically free from labor troubles because the publishers' association and the printers' unions every five years negotiate an arbitration agreement which protects each of them against any considerable injustice upon the part of the other.

Under these voluntary agreements work has been continuous, pay envelopes have been regular and wages Jiave increased. At the same time there has developed a better understanding and a more helpful feeling on the part of both printer and publisher.
