The pilots also have other grievances, alleging their machines are unsafe, that they have been refused necessary safety appiances, and that they are given the same pay as mechanics who do not risk their lives. The aviators were confident their strike would tie up both the New York-Washing ton and New York-IlellefontafCleveland-Chlcago routes. The aviators, most of whom are former army flyers, asserted that.

The resolution which Senator Lodge offered yesterday in the Senate, asking Wilson to produce the British-French-American defensive agreement, met with a rebuff at the White House today, although it has not yet been voted on by the Senate.

Little doubt was expressed here that the President will make a speaking tour.

For a time it looked as if this would be quietly permitted to drop," but preparations are being made for a start within a fortnight. Abandonment of this offensive into the home states of his in the Senate was rumored when the new conciliatory attitude toward Congress became manifest. The principal speech in the Senate today was by Senator Pitt-man, Nevada, who upholds President Wilson and the treaty. Significance was attached to the fact that Senator Spencer, one of those called to the White House today, was one of the first Senators to learn of former President Taft's proposals for reservations to the League of Nations. It was considered likely the President would discuss Mr.

Taft's proposals with him.
