C0NFEREES ARE
WRANGL|NG OVER
TAXATION BILL
Senate Refuses to, Agree to
Punishment Of Newspapers
by Increasing Postage Rates.;
Leak Causes Trouble.
tsy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL lsAsrp WIRE,

Washington, Sept. 19.--Wrangles
between conferees on the war tax bill
today over second class mail rates, ex-
cess profits and the fact that news of
the secret conferences has been filter
that report to both houses this week
seemed doubtful.
Refusal of senate conferees to ap-
prove finally the tentative agreement
to accept a limited zone system on
second class rates developed a situa-
ton that still was causing heated de-
bate at adjournment tonight. The
house members demand a general
zone system in accordance with the
wishes of Secretary McAdoo. while
senate conferees insist there shall be
no increase Of more than a quarter of
cent pound in The present one cent
rate.
The leak" feature of the confer
ences is causing some conferees much
worry and others an equal amount of
amusement Resolutions pledging
secrecy, solemnly adopted at the out
set of the conferences, have been
strengthened so that any conferee who
gives out information regarding the
bill now is subject to exclusion from
further conferences.
Publication of the fact that tenta-
tive agreement had been reached to
throw the motor car tax back on the
manufacturers as originally proposed
by the house brought flood of per-
sonal and telegraphic protests to the
capital.

though the 100000 or more men on

equipment will be ready for them as
rapidly as they are ready to use it.
There are busy days ahead at the
cantonments, Not only must the men
be examined by military doctors and

Washington, Sept l9.--The govern

agreed to consider the workers de.
mands for more pay on the shippins

prospects for settling the strike were
reported tonight.
Chairman Hurley of the board post
poned indefinitely trip to the coast
on which he had intended to start to.
night. Agents of the board and of the
department of labor in San francisco
reported that employers and men
seemed near an agreement and work
on the Communicated ships might be
resumed in a few days.
Confers With Gompers.
Mr.. Hurley conferred again today
with Samuel Gompers and other Of
ficials of the American Federation oil
Labor. Tomorrow he will give atten-
ton to the strikes at Seattle, Portland
ana Otner PaclIlc coast points and IN
dications were that they might be set
tied on the basis of the proposal made
to San Francisco builders.
The shipping boards action is con-
sidered significant as 1t indicates be-
lief that the workers demand for
higher pay should be granted. The
board emphasizes its determination
MT TO let any difficulties prevent
speedy prosecution of its big ship
building program.
To avoid being compelled to pay a
proportion of wage increases for COM
panies making big profits on govern
ment contracts, the offer specified
that profits of more than 10 per cent
must be applied to the government
share of the payment.
Communicated Ships.
The cost-sharing proposal will ap-
ply only to vessels under construction
by the government to
hasten their completion. Contracts
for ships ordered originally by the
government cover such exigencies as
wage increases, either under a plan
to pay cost plus percentage profit
or on a fixed charge basis.
The total cost of the new arrange
ment is estimated by shipping board
officials as only a small proportion of
the expense incurred in taking OVER
ships under construction.

bert Hoover, the food administrator
speaking on the world food situation
tonight, at the war convention of the
cham Der OF commerce of the United
state. declared starvation would win
the war and the side best able to or
game Its resources for food produc-
ton and conservation would come out
victor.
The food situation of America and
the allies is SUCH" said Mr.. Hoover
that the neutral countries of north
ern Europe cannot hope to get food
from the United States unless they
expect to furnish equivalent service
in other directions to common pool
against Germany
Lord Northcliffe, head of British
missions in this country, told of his
work as purchasing agent for Great
Britain and how he is spending be-
tween fifty and sixty million dollars
a week. He also described funda-
mental changes in industry that the
war has caused in Great Britain and
said some of these changes would take
place also in the United States.
The World situation.
Food" said Mr. Hoover, has since
the war began gradually assumed a
larger place in the economics the
craftsmanship and the strategy of
warfare. The allies are blockadine
the food from Germany and the sur
rounding neutrals are under great ne
cessity 20 export their supplies both
ways. The Germans are trying to
starve the allies 4sJy sinking the food
ships and all governments are faced
with reduction of consumption, stimu-
lation of production, control of prices
and readjustment of wages. The win
ming of the war is largely a problem
of who can organize this weapon.
There has come about not only a
limitation of supplies but an accum-
ulation in inaccessible markets. The
result of these cumulative forces is
that North America is called upon,
both by allies and neutrals, for guam
titles of food far beyond its normal
export ability

IF the extremely high prices thun-
