DANIELS BROKE
FAITH, he SAYS
Pan-American Radio Off
cial Pleads for Private
Ownership.

Edward J. Nally. vice president and
general manager Of the Marconf Wire
less Telegraph and Cable Company ana
president of the Pan-American Wire
less Telegraph and Telephone Com
pany, appeared before the House Mer-
chant Marine and Fisheries Commit
tee yesterday in opposition to Secre-
tary Of the Navy Daniels plan for
government ownership of all shore ra-
dio stations in the United States and
its island possessions.
Mr.. Nally charged that the Navy
Department broke an agreement with
his company for the establishment OF
radio stations in South America
He also narrated how the Germans
Nad controlled and operated the wire
less stations in Mexico during the war,
and argued that this would prove even
a greater disadvantage in times or
peace, when it would handicap the
United States in its fight for reason
able share OF Mexican commerce.
Would Be Advantageous.
Private ownership and operation of
wireless stations in Central and South
America, Mr.. Nally declared. would
be of IAN advantage beyond calcula-
ton to American business.
The Pan-American Company. which
proposed to establish stations in Cen
trail and South America, according to
Mr.. Nally. was organized after con-
sultation with the State and Navy
departments. whose solicitors advised.
corrected and amended its charter.
After a visit to South America, Mr..
Nally said. he found. in April last,
that Secretary Daniels had changed
his announced plans and then favored
government ownership.
Regarding the Mexican situation,
Mr.. Nally said:
Although the Mexican government
claims title to all these stations, the
apparatus is strictly German. There
have been German operators in every
one of the twenty odd stations. More
over. there have sprung up govern
ment electrical shops with German
superintendents and this WHOLE sys-
TEN has been supervised by German
radio experts who were formerly en-
ployed at Sayville and Tuckerton and
on German liners which were interned
in this country at the beginning Of
the war"

American Ranch Raided.

THE State Department has been in-
formed that the ranch of John B.
Hibler, an American residing at Ga
leana, Mexico, was raided on Decem-
Der 9. BY thirty-five Villa troops COM
manded by Gen. Eulalia Gutierrez. A
large amount of clothing was taken
from Mr.. Hiber's- house and the
houses of his employees. The soldiers
took most of the corn on the ranch
and the entire store of wheat, together
with 26 burros, 16 oxen and four carts.
800 goats and all the cattle. horses
and mules. The raiders are supposed
to be the same band which attempted
to hold up the Mexico City train at
San Salvador a month ago, an attempt
which was frustrated by the appear
ance of an armed pilot train"
Since the embargo on the ship
ment Of arms and munitions was
raised by the United States. it is
understood that Mexican interests
have made preparations for the arm
ing of a large force in northern

tionists and of measures which must

Skilled Labor.

AS speaker Of the evening at a BAN
quet given by the Commercial Club
OF Washington in the club rooms at
Seventeenth and 1 streets last night.
l. F. Post, Assistant Secretary of
Labor, prophesied what he termed as
three years of unprecedented pros
perity and good times as result of
the European reconstruction work"
Mr. Post demonstrated in forceful
manner the reason for his fortune
telling" citing as specific cases the
Galveston food and the earthquake of
San Francisco. and the tremendous
flow of labor towards these devastated
sections. Just so in devastated Eu-
rope" said Mr.. Post. there will be
enormous demands for skilled labor
of all kinds and men will seek the
opportunity of more money and accept
the lure of travel"
business should Cultivate Labor.
American business men should es-
tablish closer affiliations and encour-
age closer relationship with labor. "
continued the Secretary, ''in order TO
more equally meet the demands for
American products that are bound to
