Washington, Nov. 1S.-Centraliza- ton of appropriations of congress. on which President Wilson and house leaders conferred last night, will be the subject of another conference at the White House within week, ac- cording to present plans.
 The President has made it clear to advocates of the different methods of control of appropriations that he has fixed preference for any of the plans suggested, but is anxious that some agreement should be reached where- by more systematic control of con- gressional appropriations might be at tained.

U. 5. GOVERNMENT
 MAY BUILD SHIPS
Private Bidders on Super-dread-
 nOughtS Give High Prices

Washington, Nov. 18.-Whether construction of the two superdread- thoughts authorized by the last oon- gross, bids for which were opened al the navy department yesterday, shalr be undertaken at government plants today depended upon the result of a careful study by naval officials of figures submitted by private ship yards.
 Private bidders apparently failed to keep their proposals within the s7.SOO, 900 limit of cost fixed by con press for hull and machinery of each ship.
 Government Bids Lowest.
 The government plants, on the other hand, including those at New York. Philadelphia and Mare Island, all submitted estimates within the limit. most of them being below s7.O0O.OO0. Bids submitted by the private plants, including the Fore River Shipbuilding Corporation, the New York Shipbuilding company and the Newport News Shipbuilding com rany, all proposed notifications to the departments specifications.
 Careful study is being made to de- termine the exact cost of the ships urd der each bid. If it is found that all the private bids are outside the limit fixed by congress, it was con sidered likely today that the ship companies would be asked to reduce their figures before deciding to give the work to the government plants. To Equip Two Yards. Whatever the decision as to the pending bids, Secretary Daniels is | convinced of the need for equipping l two more government yards for bat | tleship building. At present only one vard-that at New York-is so equipped. Those at Philadelphia and Mare Island, however, could be pre- pared for such work at small cost.

New Haven, Nov. 1s.-Allegations are made by Patrick F. O'Meara, president of the New Haven Trades council in a letter sent to Gov.
