(Rcpublican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-In order quickly to press in the senate legisla- ton which it regards as necessary to improve the army purchasing system, the senate military committee today decided to suspend it's war inquiry after hearing Secretary Baker Thurs day.
 When his examination is completed the committee plans to report to the senate and recommend legislation which Chairman Chamberlain is ex- pected to outline in the report.
 Examination of Charles Snsenman, vice chairman of the supplies commit tee of the council of national defense, was completed today.
 In ris testimony Mir. Eisenman de- fended the work of the supplies com mittee, it's policies and personnel and criticized the war departments pur- chasing system which, he said, was handicapped by red tape" and the lack of officers trained in business. The committee, he said, had saved the government not less than $1o,000, 900 on purchases and he emphatically denied that any members of the committee had sought advantage through their official positions for companies in which they were financially interested.
 Generalization of authority in the war department in making purchases for army cantonments, MT. Eisenman said was a prime evil of the general pur- chasing system. A plan for decentrali- Zation was submitted to Quartermastel General Sharpe, the witness said, an6 was approved in spirit but not il eFsctiee."

THREE MILLION TONS
 PROBABLE OUTPUT OF
 SH|PP|N IN 1913
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-America' s probable output of merchant ships in 1918 was put at three million tons to- day by Homer L. Ferguson, president and general manager of the Newport News Shipbuilding company, testify ing at the senate shipbuildinS inquiry. Estimates frequently made of from five to eight million tons, he declared, were misleading to the public and should not be permitted to go un- challenged.
 The greatest obstacle now ill the way of rapid construction, MT. Ferguson said, is poor housing facilities for shipyard workers. His story of hous- ing conditions at Newport News so stirred the committee that a sub committee comprising Chairman Fletcher and Senator Harding was apointed to confer tomorrow with the proper government, officials with a view to obtaining immediate relief there and elsewhere.
 MT. Ferguson did not hesitate to criticize the shipping board and the emergency fleet corporation and held them to blame in large measure fo1 the slow development of the govern ment's program.
 The housing problem,' Mir. Fergu- son declared lis one of the most vita facing the government in the conduct of the war. You cannot get the ships unless houses are provided for work men. We want to add 5000 men to our force and there is nowhere Tn New port News for them to live.
 q understand that conditions else where are equally bad.
 There is no limit to the amount oi ships this county can build if il sets itself to the task. The shipyards already built and those building car turn out 5.00O.000 tons annually under proper conditions and the country could If put to it, add still other yards and produce ten million tons a year But it cannot be done without man power and man-power cannot be ob tained unless housing is provided
 Members of the committee were in terested to know what had caused the delay in the governments providing housing facilities and Mir. Ferguson re piled that he thought it was due tt lack of coordination by the war anC navy department, the shipping boart and the council of national defense.
 In Newport News he said, tn growth of the military establishment had absoroed all available housing.
 Would the program in your opinion have moved any faster if d practica shipbuilder in the first place had beel put in as general manager of the flee corporation?' Senator Martin asked.
 Yes" replied Mir, Ferguson. 'S far as I know this is the first tim since the program was put under wa that a practical shipbuilder ever wa asked officially for his advice or sug gestions as to shipbuilding.'

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. S. In setting forth today before a joint session of congress, the nations pro gram of war and peace, the presi- dent spoke as follows:
 Gentlemen of the congress-:
 Once more, as repeatedly before, the spokesmen of the central empires have indicated their desire to dis cuss the objects of the war and the possible basis of a general peace. Parleys have been in progress at Brest -Litovsk between representa- tives of the central powers to which the attention of all the belligerents nas been invited for the purpose of ascertainiLg whether it may be pos sible to extend these parleys into a general conference with regard to terms of peace and settlement. The Russian representatives presented not only a perfectly definite statement of the principles upon which they would be willing to conclude peace but also an equally definite program of the concrete application of those principles. The representatives of the central powers, on their part presented an outline of settlement which, if much less definite, seemed susceptible of liberal interpretation until their specific program of prac- tical terms was added that pro- gram proposed To concessions at all either to sovereignty of Russia or to the preferences of the popula- tions with whose fortunes it dealt put meant, in a word. that the cen tral empires were to keep every foot of territory their armed forces haC occupied-every province, every city every point of vantage-as a per manent addition to their territories and their power.
 1 Tt is q reasonable conjecture tha the general principles of settlement which they at first suggested originated with the more libera statesmen of Germany and Austria the men who have begun to feel tho | force of their own peoples though and purpose while the concrete term of settlement came from the militar. | leaders who have ho thought but tt keep what they have got. The ne | gotiations have been broken off. Tn Russian representatives were sheer and in earnest. They cannot en certain such proposals of conques and domination.

WILSON APPROVES ADM|N|STRAT|ONOF
 LABOR PROGRAM
Republican A. p. Leased WlreJ

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Approval by President Wilson of a program for war labor administration was an- nounced tonight by the Council of Ma tional defense. The purpose is to pro- vide workers for war industries and machinery for safeguarding labor standards and maintaining industrial peace.
 Secretary Wilson of the department of labor has been requested by the president to assume charge of this ad- ministration and already has begun work as shown by the announcement of last night, that the United States employment service would have direc- ton of recruiting 3,000,000 workers for war factories and shipbuilding plants.
 The president authorized Secretary Wilson to provide adequate and stable supply of labor to war industries through a satisfactory system of labor exchanges, a satisfactory method of training workers an agency for de- termining priorities of labor demand and agencies for dilution of skilled labor when needed Dilution of labor is not regarded now as imperative and doubtless will be one of the questions put aside until the arTny-s drain on the men makes necessary the introduce tion of women.

COAL BUDGET PLAN
 MAY bE ADOPTED BY NUN WAR PLANTS
Republican A. p. Leased WIreI

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-A coal budget plan" based on the voluntary agreements of manufacturers not en- gagged in war work to reduce their fuel consumption and backed by orders of the fuel administration making the agreements applicable to all factories of each industry, was announced to- night by the fuel administration as it's method of adjusting demand to supply in 1918.
 Reduction in consumption of possibly 5O,OOO,000 tons of coal for the year is contemplated The army and navy, munitions works, other war material factories, public utilities ana domestic consumer will be the only classes of consumers to receive 100 per cent of their needs while the war continues.
 Manufacturers already nave been called into conference to put the plan into operation, and the annual saving promised by the first group will be between 15,O00,000 and 20, 900, 900 tons. In 1917 the increased demand for coal amounted to 100,000,00O tons, while the increase in output was but 45,000,000 tons. Under the same conditions this year the untitled tonnage would be taken care of by the reduction in fac tories not contributing directly to the prosecution of the war.
 Curtailment of fuel consumption necessarily implies reduction of output ! by the factories so the fuel admlnis- | tration sees in its program and in the | diversion of labor and materials to war work. The budget by agreement is adopted in lieu of the often proposed arbitrary classification of industries | into essential and non- essential di- visions.
 'It is belicved,' the fuel administra- | tion's announcement says. that the operation of this plan will forever lay the ghost of the agitation to cut off non- essential industries and will automatically balance the relation be- tween the production and consumption of coal and prevent any repetition or the present coal shortage"
 One of the striking instances in which curtailment already has been et- fected is in the brewing Industry. Representatives of the American Brewers association and others ar- filiated with the making of beer, vol | unteered a reduction of 100000 tons or coal annually. Other industries which have been represented in conferences with the fuel administrator nave been paint and varnish, wall paper, con- fectcionery artificial ice, box board and glassware. The voluntary reduc- tion of one days running each wees by the box board manufacturers will amount to 100000 tons a year and will take 30,000 carloads of merchan- disc freight off the congested rail- roads.
 There are more than 100 industries not engaged in war work which must curtail their use of fuel
 These industries. sometimes mis- called essential industries says the announcement, 'are the backbone of the country's economic system.
 "They employ ten million workers and from them must come the taxes and bonds which will pay for the war These industries have never objected to any curtailment of coal or materia

CHRISTMAS BUYING
 ABOUT EQUAL THAT OF PREVIOUS YEARS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Results of the governments war economy cam paign were shown today by the federal reserve boards monthly report of busi- ness conditions. Although Christmas buying was about equal to that of oth- CT years, there was a marked tendency to buy useful gifts, the sale of luXuries being far below normal. On the other hand, thousands of lab orers who are making bigger wages than ever before appeared to spend freely. and many localities attributed their maintenance of retail business to these classes.
 Shortage of coal and inability of rail- roads to move traffic speedily was a great drawback to business and the scarcity of labor appears to be in | creasing. General business conditions are reported excellent, however, with war industries very busy and a num- Der of less essential industries showing signs of falling off Bank clearings | have increased in most localities, and money rates are generally firm. Con struction was dull nearly everywhere.
 A summary of reports by federal re- serve districts, as of December 23, in- cludes:
 New York-Business generally ac- tive, with some lines very quiet, in- dustries active with a few ma ked ex- captions, bank clearings decreased; la bor scarce.
 Chicago-Business generally good industries very active with few excep- tions: bank clearings decreased; labor conditions easy, materials scarce
 St Louis-Business good, industries very busy, labor scarce. fuel and trans portation very unsatisfactory.
 Kansas City-Business and indus tries good, construction improving, la Dor conditions settled.
 Dallas-Business and industries good labor conditions unsettled, drought stil seriously felt.
