FOR PEACE

Ultimate Aim Would BE to
Limit Use of Navies and

ID ALTIMORE Nov ia supple
- mentary report on international

nations" the report says, "ought not
to dictate the limitation of the regula-
ton of military and naval equipment,
but it can properly prevent the use OF
such force for national aggrandiZe-
ment and for exploitation of the small
countries. We deplore militarism.
but the fight against militarism must
ultimately be made by the citizens OF
the different nations"
President Gompers was notified late

afternoon. About four hundred plan

The convention today adopted a
resolution instructing the federation
officers to deputize an organizer to
proceed to the canal zone to iuvesti-
gate conditions affecting employees
there.
The emigration of southern negroes 10
northern labor centers was brought to
the attention of the convention today
when the committee on organization
favorably reported a resolution de-
signed to eliminate what was char
acterzed as menace to the workers
in the northern states"
The resolution, which subsequently,
was adopted by the convention, was
framed by members of Ohio federa-
tions. II recited that the investiga-

tion of negroes IN the state of Ohio
had demonstrated To the satisfaction
of labor leaders in that state that they
were being brought north for the pur-
pose of filling the places OF union
men demanding better conditions. asI

Believing that the conditions that
prevailed in ohio apply IN all north

Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Declares 1t Would
Mean Navy's Death.
TELLS MINING MEN
RESERVES NEEDED
Is the Opening Gum in Gov
crnment's Fight ON the
Phclan Amendment.

n HlCAGO. Nov. l6. The life of
~ the United States navy is at stake
in the fight to retain government con-
troll Of the California petroleum re-
serves. Franklin Roosevelt, assistant
secretary of the navy. asserted in a
paper read tonight before the annual
meeting here of the American Mining
congress.
"lt may bc set down as a definite
conclusions" said the paper that the
navy cannot revert to coal burning
vessels without enormous loss of ct-
fiCienCy and furthermore that the
navy will not so revert"
The article is the navy department s
opening attack in the renewal of the
fight in congress over the Phelan
amendment to the general oil land
bill designed to protect the claims of
California operators. Navy officials
have insisted that the policy of build
ing oil burning ships could not he
carried out If the amendment pre-
vailed and Secretary Daniels appealed
directly to President Wilson when
action seemed imminent during the
last session of congress.
Would Cut Speed.
Mr. RooseVelts paper declared that
oil fuel for the navy meant increased
speed and cruising radius, control or
smoke for smoke screens, reduced fire.
room forces by So per cent. increased
the efficiency of refucllng at sea %
per cent. meant ability to sustain
maximum speed for long periods of
time without clogging furnaces, fleX-
ibility in speed ana finally. greater
safety from submarines as in modern
American ships the fuel oil Is disposed
along the bottom to cushion the blow
of exploding torpedoes.
The 35-knot battle cruisers scouts
and destrUyerS authorized by congress
could not be built, the paper asserted
if coal fuel was to be employed.
1T is estimated" the paper con
tinued, that the navy should have
on hand in time of peace storage tanks
capable of holding "A full two years
supply for the fleet in war time. For
our present needs we should have
probably two million barrels so stored
Ten years hence we ought to have
twenty million barrels.
Is big Demand.
"Oil men are much inclined to
ridicule the idea that there can ever
be shortage of oil for naval needs
They base this. perhaps, on lack OF
knowledge of what our future needs
are to be. The navy burns today in
time of peace about $4,000 barrels a
year The construction Of ships al
ready authorized by congress will cal
for an annual consumption Of 6,72l,-
600 barrels in 1928"
If battleships are to be replaced
as planned after twenty years service
the paper stated the annual consump-
tion would rise to 10,23700O barrels
in ten years.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the navy was
content that every iustitiabl" clam
against the reserved lands should b,
compensated but they must cease I,
remove oil from these lands"
There was no question, he said, tina
a fair method of adjustment could b,
found.
