GREAT DEBATES
ON CHAMBERLAIN
ARE PREDICTED

Washington, Jan. 22-President
Wilson's denunciation of Senator
Chamberlain's attack on the war de-
partment and his openly expressed
approval of Secretary Baker had the
effect today of apparently solidifying
sentiment among Senate Democrats
that support the bill for war cabinet
despite the presidents opposition.
Some of them met announcement
of Presidents Wilson's determination
to oppose the bill to the finish with
declarations of similar purpose to
support it to a finish, notwithstanding
that they may not gather strength
enough to compel congress to accept
it over the presidents disapproval.
Senator Chamberlain said today
that he would not reply further to
the presidents criticism, but at a
meeting of the senate military com
mittee senators, Democrats and Re
publicans, conferred and determined
to urge the legislation. On Thursday
when the Senate reconvenes Senators
Chamberlain, Hitchcock and Wads-
worth announced today, they will
make "straightout fight on the mer-
its" of the war cabinet bill. When
it comes before the senate for COM
mittee reference they plan to open
wide debate discussing at length the
testimony in the committees inquiry
into defects in governmental machin-
cry.
| Democratic leader Martin and 9TH
er supporting the presidents position
are preparing to oppose reference of
the war cabinet bill to the military
committee.
| The presidents assertion that he
had learned of the war reorganization
| legislation "only second hand" was
fatty contradicted today by military
committee members. They said both
Senators Chamberlain and Hitchcock
advised the president last week of the
proposed legislation and that the
president had written a letter stating
his opposition. They pointed out also
that copy of the war cabinet bill was
left Saturday by Senator Hitchcock
and Secretary Baker.
| The Presidents statement that war
operations had been delayed by the
congressional investigations, in call
| ing officials and officers from their
duties to appear before committees,
also was disputed by committee mem
bers, who pointed out that when Maj
Gems. Crozier and Sharpe testified be-
fore the military committee they had
been relieved of their duties, respec-
lively as chief of ordnance and quar-
termaster general.
A caucus of house Republicans is
planned tomorrow night to discuss en-
dorsing war reorganization legislation.
Republican senators said today that
they might caucus also soon on the
subject.

BOLSHEVIKI ACTS
ARE DENOUNCED BY
SAMUEL GOMPERS

Samuel Gompers, President of the
American Federation of Labor, again
pledged the support of labor to the
cause of the Allies, at a meeting of the
National Labor Publicity Organization
in the City Hall at Newark, and de-
nounced the Bolsheviki. He said that
residents in America" who tried to
impede the American trade union
movement, or failed to aid in the war.
were worse than the Bolsheviki."
''The Bolsheviki have caused Rus
STA to crawl to the boots of the Kaiser
to beg mercy from him." said Mr..
Gompers. 'fThey have opened peace
negotiations with the Germans, and
those negotiations would have led to
the enslavement of the Russian peo-
pie if they had .ended- in a peace pact
upon the conditions demanded by the
Germans. 1t would have meant an
iron-handed tyranny worse than that
of any Gar. We want a peace that
will crown the Allies with victory and
restore democracy, honor and honesty
to, all parts of the EARTH"
Mr.. Gompers said he had no plans
to offer vet upon the rehabilitation of
tAe armies amer WAL throwing mill
lions back into civil life, but he said
that labor, capital and the govern.
ment would have to begin to lay plans
soon for the events and conditions that
would follow the signing of peace. The
200 members of the organization, who
are editors of labor papers in New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
received Mr.. Gompers.s denunciation
of the Bolsheviki with great enthu-
siasm.

COAL CARS PILE
UP AT GATEWAYS
IN NEW ENGLAND

Boston, Jan 22.-New England rail-
roads, in continuing efforts to relieve
the fuel shortage, handled TAO cars of
coal from their western gateways yes
terday. Reduced passenger schedules,
due to the Monday holiday, released
much equipment which was utilized
for the movement of coal and gave
freight trains the right of wag~ on
many lines. More than 1900 cars of
coal still remained at the gateways
last night, however.
reports today showed that the Bos-
ton &, Maine moved 1913 cars yester-
day with $50 cars awaiting transfer in
Rotterdam and Mechanicsville. The
New Haven handled 290 cars and at
midnight had 967 cars on hand. The
Boston & Albany received and dis
tributed III cars, virtually all that
was offered.
The figures showed q slight increase
in the number still remaining at the
gateways, as compared with the pre-
vious day.
