Jan. 30.-Centralized control of transatlantic shipping was established today with the creation cf a ship control committee. to have sl;- preme charge of the operations of all ships Americans. allied and neutral entering and leaving American ports. The committee was named by repre- sentatives of the shipping board, the war and navy departments, the food ald fuel administration. lhe director general of railroads, the British gov ernment and ship owners who met to devise to some plan for speeding up the movement of supplies to Europe. It comprises: T. A. s Franklin of the International Mercantile Marine, chairman; H. R.

 Within the next few days as result of further hamparing of railroad ; transportation by todays snow and ice storms. Reports reaching the rail- road and fuel administrations tonight
 showed New England, parts of Pennsylvania and districts along the Atlantic seaboard in worse condition, and there were indications that many
 industries would be forced to stop op-
 erations for few days from lack of
 fuel. Already the railroad administra
 ton has done all possible tn meet the
 emergency, it was said and develop
 ment must depend almost on weather conditions.
 No new orders for general indus ,trial shut down are placed by the fuel administration, but the preferential
 treatment of coal shipments for do- mestic consumption, for ships and es- sential industries will continue, and extension of the freight embargo
 might be considered by the railroad administration to assist railroads to
 move coal. It was explained, except for the fact that very little general freight is now being accepted for eastward movement by any lines. Reports to Director General Mo- Adoo indicated that the west bound
 movement of freight today was nearly ten per cent under that of yesterday. Most of this was coal. The return
 movement of empty coal cars to min ing districts was slightly better. Weather conditions and railroad con
 gestion have interfered seriously with shipbuilding activities. according to
 reports today to the shipping board.

CAUTIONS RAIL HEADS
AGAINST ARBITRATION
McAdoo Warns Directors of
Malicious Attempts.

Washington. Feb. s7.-Reeional rail-
road directors have been cautioned
against any action In labor disputes
which might appear arbitrary, said
Director General McAdoo, in a state
ment issued tonight. particularly be-
cause railroad labor men still have n
suspicion that executives while work
ing under government control are
seeking to discredit federal manage
ment. The statement also discIoses
instructions given the regional direc-
tors on many other subjects.
You should bear in mind" said
the instructions. that labor has the
very natural feeling that railroad
managers. although now working for
the government and government &C
count. necessarily continue the same
conception of and attitude toward the
labor problems that they had when
acting under private management.
THE general policy as to all labor
is that there shall be no interruption of
work because of any controv ersies be-
tween employers and employees"

Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid OF
dandruff Is to dissolve II, then you
destroy It entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon: apply II at night when retir-
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub 1t in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most II not all. of your dandrnff will
be gone. and three or four more APP
pheation will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace OF il. no matter how much dan
drnff you may have.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop at
once. and your hair will be fluffy. lus-
trous. glossy. silky and soft. and look
and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work.

Fewer Strikes Now Than
in Past Several Years

Washington. Feb. 27,--Not since the
department of labor has been organized
have there been so few strikes in prog
ress as at present. Secretary Wilson
said today. Places where cessations
OF work have occurred are relatively
few and many OF the strikes do not ar
feet the war preparations directly. A
number OF them are the strikes OF
street car operatives. Perhaps the
most serious industrial dispute now
pending Is the walkout of 5000 metal
trades workers in the Birmingham
plant.
