QUICK ACTION ON FOOD BILLS
President Wilson sympathixes With
Needs Of Laborino Men and
Promises Relief.

Washington.-Forty labor leaders,
headed by Samuel Gompers, president
Of the American Federation OF Labor,
had conference with President Will
son. They asked three things:
First-That President Wilson either
60 before congress or summon con-
gressional leaders to him and urge the
Immediate passage of the food bills.
Second-That the food bills be pass
ed by July /.
Third-That the president and Her.
bert G. Hoover receive the power to
handle the food situation themselves.
The labor men told the president
that while the cost OF living has ad-
vanced beyond all reason. wages have
remained practically the same. They
maintain that as result many work
ingmen actually are suffering from
ndernourishment. They made the
yelled prediction that unless the prest-
dent was able to bring about changes
IN the conditions. widespread discon-
tent might follow.
President Wilson, while he gave mo-
indication of his probable course. told
the delegation that he was In entire
acord with them. He said he believed
congress at the earliest moment would
act to clothe Mr.. Hoover with the au-
thority he needs.

CONFIDENCE OF DEPUTIES
French lawmakers Express Conf
dence In Navy and Marine
Campaion.

Paris.-After a two days session.
during which Admiral Lacaze, minister
Of marine, and the conduct Of the navy
were under fire, especially on account
of merchant marine losses, the cham
ber of deputies voted confidence in the
government by $40 to 17S. The bulk
Of the attack in the closing session
centered on the alleged laxity Of meas
ures taken to combat submarines.
Premier Ribot in defense of the gov
ernment declared that the submarine
war had surprised the navies of all the
allies. He did not deny the peril and
asked for increased credits to meet
this new form of warfare.

Mr. Galloway's statement follows in

The engine crews Of both trains

No. 2 was injured to such an extent
that we have not been able to inter

The investigation which we have
