MAY VOLUNTEER SERVICES FOR
 SEIIPBUUDING

Washington, D. C., Jan. 16.-Ar- engagements for the formation of a volunteer shipyard reserve of 250, 900 workers have been outlined in mes sage sent out by Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the Shipping Board, to the chairmen of all State Defense Councils. The workers are to be re- cruited through the defense councils and employment agencies, recently established by the Department of La bor in many parts of the country, and win be put into the yards as rapidly as their services are needed.
 Workmen will be recruited from the ranks of those not now engaged in government work. The four minute men of the Committee on Public h. formation will assist in the recruiting by speaking in the theatres of the country.
 At present lack of housing facilities at most of the yards prevent the en- ployment of many more men. A bill probably will be introduced in Con- gress this week providing for an ap- IproDriation of $10O, ,OO0, 900 for housing purposes.
 l Within five months at least 100,0Ot will have been put to work, MT. Hur- i ley said. By that time some housing system will have been arranged and many of the yards will be in position to put in double shifts. Later a three shift arrangement is contemplated.
 The -four minute speakers vii give two weeks to the work, begin ming January 26.

ONE MAN CONTROL ADVOCATED IN ALL
 WAR PURCHASES
Willard and Baruch Support New Suggestion to Sen
 ate Committee.

Washington, Jan. 16-One-man con- troI of all war supplies in the United States was advocated before the Sen ate military committee by Daniel E. tries board, and Bernard M.. Baruch, head of the boards raw material di- vision.
 Both favored creating what vir- tually would be a munitions admin istration with full power, directly re- sponsible to and securing his author ity from the President, but not a member of the cabinet, to control procurement and distribution of war supplies, including those for the army, the navy, shipbuilding and the allies
 Neither MT. Willard nor MT. Ba- ruch favored a separate department of munitions with cabinet officer at it's head, the plan proposed by Sen ator Chamberlain, chairman of the committee, and opposed by both President Wilson and Secretary Baker. MT. Willard endorsed the war department and government SUD- ply purchasing reorganization plan submitted last week by Secretary Baker, though he said it does not go far enough in centralizing authority | and is weak in reliance upon volun- tary cooperation.
 MT. Baruch favored even more | highly centralized authority over mu- nitions in an individual, advocating a l plan broader than th~t employed ir | England. He frankly disagreed with Secretary Baker regarding the reorganization proposed by the latter and insisted that individual control is essential.
 In details only did MT. Willard an6 MT. Baruch differ. Their arguments | for one-man direction apparently l made a profound impression on the 1 committee. Tomorrow the conn t. | tee will hear Director Clifford of the l council of national defense ol the
 same subject and will proceed very | soon to consider legislation. Today:
 testimony apparently strengthened de termination of committee member:
 to recommend legislation for a change | despite the unfavorable attitude of the | President.
 | Praising accomplishments of civil
 ians volunteering to aid the govern ment in the war, MT. Willard saiG | the new centralized authority wa.
 necessary as the council of nationa
 defense and it's subsidiaries were no
 war agencies. He admitted that mis
 takes had been made by the civilian
 aids, but said their work was, as {
 whole, patriotic and creditable. The
 time for volunteer advice, he added | however, has passed. By Wednesday
 the committee hopes to conclude it:

RECREATION FOR PERSHING'S MEN

Boys Will Have Playtime Period Every Four

With the American Army in France, Jan. 16-A general order is- of a weeks leave to every soldier for each four months of service at the front
 The seven days are to be spent in special recreation centres now being established somewhere in France" ]" These are being built solely with the idea of furnishing the fighting men holiday entertainment and rest.
 It is hinted that the period of leave will be heightened after the soldiers have acquainted themselves heroically in future heavy fighting.
 The necessity for proper conduct is emphasized in the order, and it is as- serted that subsequent leave depends largely on strict observance of de- cOrum.
 Paris is only to be visited when special permission is granted.

LAW IS OFF FOR
 HUNTING UNIONS. HAYESCOMPL PLA|NS

Indianapolis, Jan. 16,-President Frank J. Hayes of the United As1ns Workers of America, in reviewing the activities of the order, at the biennial convention of the union, yesterday urged the delegates to ratify the wage agreements in Washington with the bituminous and anthracite operators and sanctioned by the federal govern ment The agreements, now in effect, call for increases in wages and extend the present contracts two years from April 1, 1918.
 We must remember" said Presi- dent Hayes, "that we have secured very substantial wages advances dur ing the last year, and that there have been few if any industries in the coun- try that have fared as we'll as ours in the matter of increased wages
 The report reviews the litigation in which the union is involved, particu- larly the West Virginia case wherein the organization of the United Mine Workers of America are enjoined from 1 soliciting employees ofsa coal company to become members of the organiza- ton. The supreme court of the Uni ted States sustained the injunction. The report says:
 Decisions of this character are cal culated, if not designed, to destroy our organization and return coal mining conditions to the chaotic state that orce prevailed; and we have the right in name of our patriotic service to the country, as well as our own economic welfare, to protest against these revo- 1utionary decisions and to insist that if this be the law of the courts, that it shall be corrected by legislation.
 ''In this crisis the Sherman anti trust act and other federal statutes are set aside to permit the formation of exporting trusts and similar pools, some of it by administrative action ard some by express congressional laws. It seems, however, to be de- clared and open season by the federal 1 judiciary forh uniting labor unions; and this col.qention should not ad- journ without taking some decisive steps for laying before congress the situation raised by these decisions and ot securing legislative assurance against their repetition
 President Hayes also drew the at- tcntion of the delegates to the con- tempt proceedings in the United States supreme court growing out of the West Virginia case, and recommended the appointment of special commit tee to formulate a policy to meet the issue.
 The report recommended the build ing up of the organizations finances for the purpose of creating a defense fund foY- 11Sa after the war if 0eef be, and urged that something should be done by the union to assist foreign
 born members to become American citizens. He recommended the ap- pointment by local unions of commit tees on naturalization to carry on this
 work.

STAMP UNDERWEAR TO PREVENT HUNS
 FROM GETTING IT

The Hagne, Netherlands, Jan. a.- Endless are the tricks of the sumg. gier. Prior to the advent of cold weather, Germans had been discover ed crossing the frontier into Holland wearing no underclothing and women wearing only a mantle They were on their way to supplement this rather scanty raiment at some Netherlands store near the border, thence to re- turn hou1eward clad in genuine wool cit or cotton underclothes instead of the substitute materials wherewith Germany is in these days arraying it. self. To counter this method of pro- cedure, the customs authorities have adopted the equally novel method of stamping the underclothes of all per sons who regularly CT frequently cross the frontier. If such travellers are subsequently found wearing Lnstanlp- ed clothes, these are treated as snug gled goods.
