WILSON SUPPORT
Shipping Program Con-
troversy Disentangled
By Presidents Action
(By Associated Press.)


Washington, July 13.-The contro-
versy over the governments shipping
program was settled by President
Wilson yesterday by directing the
Emergency Fleet corporation, OF
which Major General Goethals is
manager, to take charge Of construc-
ton and by authorizing the shipping
board to operate the vessels after
they are built and to requisition and
operate tonnage now on the seas. The
president, by dividing the powers
conferred on him by congress, clear
ed the way for an immediate speed
ing UP of construction. General
Goethals will commander at once
the contracts for most of the two
million tons of ships building in
American yards and will put on dou-
BILE and triple labor shifts to hurry
their completion.
The empowering legislation as
originally drawn authorized the pres
ident to delegate to the general man.
ager of the fleet corporation person.
ally the power to spend $500, 1000, 900
for ship building and to put the gem
eral manager in charge Of construc-
tion. As finally passed, however, the
measure left the executive free to
choose his own agency and out of this
grew the controversy between Chair
man Denman, of the shipping board,
and General Goethals.
The action of the president was
hailed by General Goethals' friends
as victory, although Chair
man Denman, as president Of the
must approve all con-
tracts. 1t was made clear last night,
however, that General Goethals will
be given a free hand. The board will
not interfere, 1t is understood, with
his plans. "

Measure Holding Center
of Stage at Capital
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, July 13.-President
Wilson is today seeking a way to
straighten out the tangled legislative
situation in the senate that has held
up food control legislation there.
The presidents conclusion on the
subject will be reported to senate
leaders before July 21 when a vote is
to be taken and upon this conclusion
apparently rests to a great extent the
form the legislation is to take.
Meanwhile the president is giving
detailed study to the house bill as
amended and pending in the senate
and the greatly restricted substitute
phrase by Senator Gore as COM
promise.
The President, it is said, was in
formed that the pending bill as
amended to extend government con-
troll over iron. steel, cotton and other
products in addition to food and fuel
would have to be changed If 1t is to
be put through the senate.
As result the leaders were all
agreed today that the revised bill
will deal primarily with foodstuff
and fuel, with steel, iron and other
products stricken out.
Ask Wilson's Aid.
President Wilson's assistance was
sought yesterday in solving the sens
ate's dfn.cuitfas over food control
legislation and his conclusions 10

fore a vote Is taken July 2l are ex-

and Chairman Simmons. of the fin
ance committee, went up to the
White House and laid before Mr..
Wilson the whole situation which is
holding up action.
The house bill as amended and
pending in the senate and the great
ly restricted substitute prepared by
Senator Gore as compromise were
discussed at length and the President
agreed to study both measures in
detail and report his conclusions. 1t
is understood he was told the pend
ing bill as amended to extend gov

copper, cotton and other products in
addition to food and fuel must be
materially changed IL it is to pass.
THE senate is still at sea on the
BILL" said Senator Martin after he
left the White House. Senator Sim
mons said he was satisfied after his
talk with the President that legisla-
ton generally satisfactory eventually
would be evolved.
Although the President several
times has shown his impatience over
the delays in senate consideration
of the legislation, it is understood he
showed no resentment in the con-
ference yesterday. He is said to have
avoided any definite recommenda-
tions pending his study of the two

Oficial advices reaching Fargo
from the office of Adjutant General
Angus Fraser are to the effect that
only the First regiment of North Da-
kota infantry will be called into fed
eral service Sunday.
It is said that authority for the
Second regiment to be called into

dations has been made. With the

At the headquarters of Company B,
Fargo, First North Dakota infantry,
no further instructions have been
received with regard to the mobiliza-
tfon of state troops. Orders received

Lincoln as the mobilization point for
all the state militiamen are the last
word on this phase Of the military
situation.

tant general it is learned that there
will be no formality in the transfer
of the state troops into federal SER
vice. The call will be made at the
companies home stations. No new
