Opinion at the department OF jus

Morrison, president and secretary, re-

The resolution on which the House
acted In refusing Berger seat fol-
lows the unanimous report Of the cleo

Berger attacked the executive branch
Of the government and then turned on

ministration." This drew from Repre-
sentative Blanton. of Texas, Democrat,
n demand that he confine his remarks

Tied Up at New Orleans for

New York.-The decision of the
railroad administration coal committee
to discontinue furnishing bunkers to
foreign flag ships, while not officially
transmitted to coal officials here,
caused considerable apprehension
among steamship interests. Owners
and managers Of more than 200 foreign
vessels in port, included among which
are SO passenger vessels, said that IL
the order was enforced 1t would mean
delays In sailings. Pending receipt OF
the order by the local, office OF the
committee, bunkerlng permits are be-
Ing issued as usual
Passengers booked for the ships due
to sail this week and early next week
are numbered in thousands, and 1t was
pointed out that foreign flag passenger
liners now are the only vessels by
which travellers can move between the
United States and European ports. The
American line ships of the information
al mercantile marine fleet are either
yet engaged in government service or
are being reconditioned for commercial
business at shipyards.
While Halifax can be counted upon
to furnish coal for many Of the ships.
It was said that because of the recent
heavy demands on the bunker facili-
ties there, as a result OF the New York
longshoremen's strike, delay could be
expected.

Except for such vessels as are held

was asserted, as the majority Of Eu-
ropean ships either can coal for the
round trip upon departure for Amer
lea or obtain sufficient coal for bunk
er purposes at Halifax.
Practically no change in shipping
board schedules because Of the coal
situation is looked for, as 1t is be-
lieved that the board will receive a

omsk. The Bolshevist thrust
against the left wing OF the Siberian
armies has developed to such an ex-
tent that the Siberians have been
obliged to fall back south OF the
Trans-Siberian Railway to within so
miles Of Petropavloysk, which appears
to be the Bolshevist objective in this
sector. A corresponding tactical re-
tirement Of from II to "a miles has
occurred along the whole Tobol River
front.
The Red forces also have launched
an offensive on the extreme north
and have succeeded In retaking To
bolsk, the important Siberian city at
the junction of the Tobol and Irish

back some miles.
