@. Hcyworth, manager of the wooden
ships division of the Shipping Board,
the Senate Commerce Committee
learned to-day that no more contracts
were being let for the present for
either wooden or composite vessels.
Members of the committee indicated
they would seek the reason when Chair
man Hurley of the Shipping Board
takes the stand Monday.
J. +. Barnes, Of Seattle, Wash, told
the committee he believed the govern
ment should fix labor prices.
Without debate the Senate to-day
passed the bill authorizing the Prcsi-
dent to establish military zones around
Shipbuildng plants engaged on govern
mcnt work.
l.. p. Featherstone, of Beaumont. Tex,
representing the Texas Steel Company,

cnc-half the price the government is
now paying under the Presidents fixed

He also said ships can be turned out
with satisfactory profit to the build
CT at 20 per cent less than the Ship

McAdoo Orders Den1urrage
Penalty to Force Prompt
Unloading of Coal Cars

The Federal government yesterday
took steps 20 insure the prompt clear
ing up of freight congestion Coal
agents of all railroads that have term
inals at New Jersey tdewater were in
formed by the office of Railroad Direc-
tor General McAdoo that demurrage
penalty of $40 a car would be levied
on all fuel shipments that are not un-
loaded within forty eight hours. Only
those shipments cons signed to the New
York soft coal pool are excluded.
Coal lying at terminals in Jersey
last night was estimated at 100000
tons. Aided by weather conditions and
the breakup Of ice in the narrow fair
ways between terminals and the city,
the fuel administration was able to
bring about $4,000 tons TO New York
City.
About half of this was soft coal
from Port Reading and South Amboy.
Of this, 1900 tons went into the
bunkcrs of food nd munition vessels.
J. w. Searles. deputy commissioners
Of the TidewatcY Coal Exchange, said
that on Thursday about $4,000 tons Of
soft coal had been dumped at South
Amboy, Port Reading and five other
terminals. About 10000 tons were re-
ceiyed there Wednesday.

There are other elements charged
with serving the German interests in

being disloyal German Americans, Sim

through efficient agents, has found in

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 1S.-With only
about six hundred loaded cars in the
yards here, the freight congestion is
clearing up in Indianapolis. The coal
cars are once more moving, and few
cars are being used for the moving of
livestock and foodstuffs which had to
be moved at once. Practically nothing
else is moving, and will not be for at
least week or ten days.
AS fast as coal conditions are ad

City Approves Plan to
Have Camp Upton Men
Parade February 2

New York Will welcome AZ, opnortn-
n''y TO nave regiment Of her drafted
sons march UP Fifth Avenue on Satur-
day, February 2, representative citizens
SAID yesterday. The suggestion that
the 30Sth Infantry Regiment of the 10th
DIVISION, "New York's Own" might be
able to arrange to parade here on that
day met with hearty approval.
The three thousand men, who expect
to be here on February and 3 to at
tend benefit performance for the regi-
ment IN the Manhattan Opera House on
Fsoruary 3, are eager to show their
TRENDS what they have learned Mt
camp. They feel certain that their off,
GERS will sanction a parade provided
tnere is genuine demand for it.
Martin Conboy, director of the draft
in this city, expressed hearty approval
OF the proposal. Since there has been
no parade here of drafted men since
they we're sent to Camp Upton, Mr.. Con-
boy "1eels a parade would give the men
who are to be called in the second draft
a splendid opportunity to learn what
their training will accomplish. If the
military authorities at Camp Upton,"
he said, "think that it is feasible to
hold such parade, the men charged
with the execution of the selective ser
vice law will back it heartily. 1t would
be an excellent object lesson for the
people of New York"
For the Mayors Committee of Ma
tional Defence, Henry Macdonald, the
new director, said: "The Mayors Com
mittee of National Defence will be glad
to assist in arrangements for a parade
on February 2 of the 3O8th Infantry
Regiment, National Army, as it would
give the people of New York an oppor-
tunity to view our boys who have been
recently transformed from peaceful
civilian life to their new environment,
and at the same time it would assist
the recruiting authorities by creating a
patriotic atmosphere"
Colonel N. K. Averill is commanding
officer of the regiment, and J. j. Boni-
ticface is the regiments lieutenant colo
mel. Major F. L. Nelson is at the head
of the first battalion; Major Kenneth P.
Budd, of the second, and Captain Harry

lected from this city in the first draft.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-Experts
under the Aircraft Production Board
are already at work, it was learned to-
day, on an engine that is expected to
surpass the Liberty motor in power,
while retaining all its qualifications for
quantity production.
While the original Liberty motor in
cluded no mechanical innovations or
experiments, the designers have been
given full latitude in the new machine,
and it probably will mark distinct
progress in the art of airplane engine
designing. For that reason details of
construction are highly confidential.
American experts have worked on the
theory that good big airplane is be.-
ter than a good little airplanc. They

Will be the masters of the air. and con-
sequently the new engines are being
developed to run planes of increased
size and fighting power.
Months ago General Pershing urged
that American designers anticipate
craft armed with six machine guns
each, three heavy and three light. A.:
that time no serious attempt was be-
ing made in Europe to, get more than
tour guns aboard any plane.
The Navy Department also is at

Anthracite Operators
Issue an Appeal for
$4,000 More Workers

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1S.-The Gen
eral Committee Of Anthracite Opera
tors issued an appeal. to day for $4,000
additional men to work in the hard coal
mines of Pennsylvania.
"Although last years shipments of
anthracite exceeded 100000 tons,
nearly 100000 tons more than ever
BEFORE said the appeal, production
must be further increased. The high
record output has proved insufficient to
meet enormously enlarged war-made
demands.
"More labor is essential now. The
industry is shorthanded. 1t has only
$4,000 mine workers, as against III 900
in 1916. The mining operations are de
veloped sufficiently to enable an imme-
date increase in production, could the
necessary labor be had"
