NEED OF SHIPS
IS NOW URGENT
CHAIRMAN HURLEY OF BOARD
URGES wORKMEN TO
ENLIST

Some vital factors of the ship
building situation are outlined by
Edward N. Hurley, chairman of
the United States Shipping Board,
in a personal appeal to members of
various state and county councils
Of defense, urging the furtherance
of the campaign to secure the en-
listment of skilled workmen for
work in carrying out the govern
ment's building program.
In a letter received by A. H.
Howe, chairman of the Esmeraida
county council of defense, Mr.. Hur-
ley emphasizes the vital need for
speeding up the building of ships to
carry troops and supplies to Europe
and to offset losses by submarine
attack. He says:
Our shipbuilding program on
templates the construction of g.
600, 900 tons annually, but owing
to the want of the necessary skill
ed men, we are not under present
condition in a position to urn
out that tonnage.
1.-THE Shipping Board has the
one 1t has the yards. 1t has
the material. The housing ques-
ton is being rapidly cleared up.
All that is needed is to obtain the
necessary efficient labor.
1T should be brought home to
employers and to the employees of
the industries of the nation that
their own future depends on the
construction of these ships. The
fact is that the recent order issued
by Fuel Administrators Garfield,
closing the factories of the whole
country, and the more recent freight
embargo issued by Secretary Nc
Adoo, tying up all the freight with
the exception of food and fuel, came
not because of a falling down on
tie part of the carriers themselves,
but because of the lack of ships.
1.-THE reason for this is plain.
The speeding up of the American
factories piled in the eastern sea-
ports and packed into every rail-
way siding outside of the seaboard
cities thousands of loaded cars of
materials for the var zone. The
result was that even the coal re-
quired for the ships in harbor could
rot get through, and even the few
ships which we now possess were
held in harbor by empty bunkers
and could not sail.
Until we have ships to clear
the Atlantic ports of manufactured
goods, for which III army in
France and our allies are in need,
enforced holidays and embargoes
must recur, with the result that no
factory in America cal be assured
of running full time and no work.

Another star in the service flag of
the university of Nevada has been
eclipsed. Word has been received
at Reno that Walter H. Wise died
at Camp Kearney on Jan. 16. Wise
attended the university for four
years prior to last May. His home
is in New Haven, Conn. This makes
three university boys who have died
in the service. Stars on the service

addition to the regular service stars
the flag is now decorated with three
white stars on a red border in token
of the boys who have answered the

PLAYERS STATUS
FREED FOR WAR
KN0TTY PROBLEM
Annual Meeting Of National
League MagnateS Tuesday
to Take First Step Toward
Baseball Revival
ray noRsrse JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w,HsI

New York, Dec. THE annual
meeting of the National league, to be
held in this city next Tuesday, will be
the first step in the direction of base
bah reconstruction made necessary by
the war.
While a number of problems con-
front the senior league magnates
there is no evidence that concerted
program of action has been evolved.
Among questions which must be con-
sidered is election of league presi-
dent: future status Of players released
outright last autumn national com
mission arrangements; plans for 1919;
and limitation of club. rosters.
The election of a president to sue
coed John X Tener, who resigned
last summer. is expected to he one of
the first features to he considered.
The names of four men have been
mentioned in connection with the po-
sition, but no one appears to have II
majority of the eight votes back of
his name. The quartet is composed of
John a. Ieydler, present secretary
treasurer of the league; Lieut.. David
IT, lNultz, former president of the Base
ball Players Fraternity; Francis x.
McOuade a city magistrate of New
York, and Robert Brown, of Louis
vile, Ky.
The status of the player is also a
matter of considerable concern and
must be settled before big league base
ball can proceed with arrangements
for the coming season. While the
players were released outright on Sep
TENDER 4 in accordance with the
Washington authorities "work or
fight" order, legal opinion appears to
be that since the action was necessary
to conform with government orders,
the reserve clause still is binding. AS
further safeguard there is said to be
working agreements between the mag
mates Of both the national and AmeIt
lean leagues not to bid for the serv-
ices of each others players.
Several of the National league mag
mates are of the opinion that a joint
meeting with the American league will
be necessary before plans looking to-
ward the resumption of baseball on a
large scale can be completed.

ORDER ALLOWING

+ ORDER STRICKEN
Colorado Utilities Commission
Wins in Suit to Prevent Dis
continuance of Colorado
Midland Railway,
fey MORNING JOURNAL s-Ee'Al LEASED wrHEl


Denver, Dec. THE state supreme
court, recognizing the jurisdictionaI
powers of the public utilities commits
sion, today ordered stricken the de-
cree of District Judge John w. Shea
for of Colorado Springs, granting A.
q. Carlton, receiver for the Colorado
Midland Railway, the right to discon-
tinue operation of the road and dis
mantle it.
The utilities commission had resist
ed Judge Sheafor's action contending
/ that application had not been made to
the commission for discrimination of
the service on the road
Counsel for the railroad and the
receiver contended that the thirty
day notice of cessation of operations
submitted July to the commission
was sufficient under the law and that
Judge Sheafor's order superseded the
authority of the commission.
The road has been idle since mid
night of August 4 and question now
arises as to what action will be TAX
en- by the utilities commission which
the supreme court today recognized
as having original and exclusive juris-
diction over any railroad wholly with
in the state regarding service.
The opinion was based on a writ Of
review and was prepared by Justice
Garigues. A temporary stay of eXecu-
ton was granted August 3, but it was
too late to be effective so far as con-
tinuance of service was concerned for
the order of the district court had be-
come effective on midnight of the pre-
vious day. The stay, however, did
prevent the dismantling of the road.
That part of the order issued by
Judge Sheafor which relates to the
appointment of the receiver and the
foreclosure suit instituted by the
Colorado Title and Trust Company, as
well as sale of the property on the
foreclosure is valid, in the opinion of
the supreme court.
Speaking of the cessation of opera
tons, however, and the dismantling
of the property without consent of the
utilities commission, Judge Garigues
says
THE act (utilities) confers upon
the commission sufficient authority
when the public interest requires that
no change could be made to prevent
a railroad from ceasing service upon
and dismantling the road without the
consent of the commission.
we therefore, COHG4uue llldJ tne
public utilities act confers exclusive
jurisdiction upon the commission to
determine whether a railroad COM
nany may abandon service upon and
dismantle railroad lying wholly
within the state"
The court held, in effect, that the
receiver OF the Midland should have
| applied to the utilities commission
| for leave to suspend operation and
dismantlc the road The opinion held
| that the district court had jurisdic-
ton that would give a receiver power
to operate the road but not to aban-
don It,
