COMPETITION OF

Washington, Feb. 21.-Fast pass
enger train competition between New
York and Chicago, Chicago and ST.
Louis, Washington and southern
points and other important passenger
terminals will be eliminated soon, the
railroad administration announced to-
day. Certain roads will be selected
for fast passenger trains and other
lines devoted more extensively TO
freight traffic.
Investigation has been made by A.
II. Smith, regional director Of the east,
to determine whether the New York
Central, Pennsylvania or Baltimore &
Ohio should be used for fast pa. senger
trains between New York and Chi
cago. 1t is understood the New York
Central is being considered most ia
vorably because of heavy freight on
the other two lines. c. II. Markham.
regional director for the south, is in
vestigating passenger conditions in
that territory with a view of remov

UNEARTH PLOTS
AT ST. .ETIENNE
Heart of French Industrial Dis
trict Penetrated by Ger
man Espionage.

Paris, Feb. 2t.--An important center
Of German espionage has been discov-
cred, the Figaro reports, at st. Etienne,
in the heart Of the Industrial district Of
France. According to this account the
purpose was to influence workmen BY
means of carefully organized system,
with view to causing, strikes and
riots.
The headquarters of the propaganda
WAS @ prosperous saloon kept by q
German and his wife. The German and
his wife, a Spaniar, Swiss. and man
who lodged at the saloon, named Fla
lox, were arrested.
Fialex was a draughtsman at the
great ordnance factory at st. Etienne.
In. his room were found documents
showing that he was connected closely
with the recent strike in that city. He
also was interested In military ques-
tions and was in correspondence with
suspected individuals in another sec
ton. He had safe conduct available
for various military zones. These dis
coveries at st. Etienne, the Figaro
says established the fact that under
German direction there Is at work
"defeatist" organization whose avowed
object Is to promote at o given date
while a German offensive is In full
swing, insurrectional troubles at diff
ferent points in France.

MISSISSIPPIAN
DEALS CENSURE
Senator Williams Criticises
d.. Congress for "Tweeding'
Delays in War Legis-
Iati0n.

Washington, Feb. 81. During the
senate debate today Senator Williams
of Mississippi, censured congress fol
delays in war legislation and declared
he wished the president had the pow
er to come before congress- in the
same way the British premier goes
before parliament.
There is a chance of the central
powers breaking through the Italian
front and attacking France from the
rear" the senator declared, 'but while
that Is being done, you are tweedling
away here, over the provisions of a
bill. The American people expect you
and me to get through these appropria-
ton and emergency war measures and
go home"
Senator Williams declared the two
great forces in the public arena today
were Premier Lloyd George and Pres
ident Wilson, both Of whom agree that
the central powers must be fought not
as separate forces, but as one. When
the British premier was assailed, the
senator observed, he went before par
lament and replied.
81 wish to God that President Will
son had the power to come before
congress and say just what Lloyd
George said," Mr.. Williams declared.

hood Of Carpenters and J6iners, today
declined again to sign the nemoran.
dunn already signed by the seventeen
other ship workers unions, giving the
ship building wage adjustment board
full authority to settle all differences
Instead. Hutcheson submitted a
counter-proposal and let it be known
that until the wage adjustment board
accepted 1t he would have no further
conferences. The terms Of the pro-
posal were not announced, but are un-
derstood to state that the carpenters
union is willing to leave questions of
wages and hours but not questions of
conditions Of labor to the department
of labor and that the union will agree
that all labor be hired through the de.
partment of labor.
Washington, Feb. Fl. Preliminary
estimates of the results Of the cam
paign to enroll 25o,o0o ship workers
show that the number sought will be
much exceeded and that thousands of
union men have Joined without re-
striction against working with unor.
ganizsd workers.
The fact that no restrictions have
been imposed by the men on their
willingness to work made officials Of
the department of labor confident that
the employers will meet all fair de-
mands. Thousands of union men have
signified their readiness to report at
the ship yards when needed, to work
side by side with all others who may
be qualified, whether union members
or not. The only thing asked, and that
has already been granted by the ship
ping oard, is that union organizers be
given full liberty to enroll new men in
the union If they desire to join.
