German Shipping
In Chile May BE
Rejected by U. 5.
Acceptance Of Allotment of
100, 900 Tonnage De-
pends on Present Condi-
ton of lnterncd Vessels

" WASHINGTON, March II. The
American government may not accept
the 100000 or more tons of German
shipping in Chilean waters allocated to
it by the Allied Shipping Commission
Chairman Hurley, of the Shipping
Board, said tonight final action would
depend both upon the terms of the
grant and the condition of the ships.
Mr.. Hurley explained that the origi-
nal proposal, made when he was in
Europe, was for the United States to
take over the ships and use them until
the peace treaty was signed, when title
to them would be determined This
offer was refused by Mr.. Hurley, who
period would not Justify the board in
standing the expense of the repairs.
Information that the ships finally
had been allocated to this country has
Just been received at the State Depart
ment. Mr.. Hurley Immediately ordered
an examination of the vessels to de-
termine the extent of repairs that
would have to be made. Since the yes
sells have been tied up for more than
four years, most officials believe that
their engines are in very bad shape

Three hundred thousand tons of Ger
man transatlantic shipping now in
German ports have been allocated to
the United States. Most of the ships
are in good condition and they will be
taken out as soon as American crews
can be assembled and sent to Ger
many.
German ships which were laid up in
Peru and Uruguay were chartered some
time ago by the United States and are
now in operation.
SANTIAGO, Chile, March 1.-The
Chilean government is awaiting an
American demand before delivering
the German ships awarded to the
United States by the Allied War Coun-
Gil.

Capital Must Make

Declares Burton
''London Daily Mall Man
Contends That Halfway
Measures Will Be made
quate to Calm Unrest

Makeshift compromises IN dealing
with growing Labor unrest in this coun-
try no longer will avail. according to
Pomeroy Burton, of "The London Daily
Mail,' who spoke yesterday at the reg
ular monthly meeting of the Board of
Trade and Transportation, at 2O3
Broadway.
England. according to Mr.. Burton,
was only beginning to realize the i'm
port of the radical movement among
the workers. He expressed as his be
llet that growing representation of
labor IN the conduct of industry would
be the only effective means of bring
ing about better industrial relations.
OBVIOUSLY what is most needed to-
day Is a real working partnership be-
tween labor and capital" he said, "bv
which IN periods of prosperity labor
Will get more than it receives during
times of stringency and under which

merely a matter of hours and wages.
"The stand of labor was we'll ex-
pressed by J. II. Thomas, NJ. P, one
OF the foremost labor leaders of Great
Britain, in an address in the House of
Commons last week.
He said the workers are discon-
tented with the system of sociotv
which treats their labor power as a
mere commodity to be bought and sold.
and demand to be made real partners
IN industry, jointly sharing in deter
mining the working conditions and
management"
Mr.. Burton said capital should bear
the burden of a systematic policy for
raising the workers standard of liv-
ing.

Democrats Accused
Of Holding z House
By an Illegal Vote
North Carolina Republican,
Elected Two Years Ago,
Seated Just Before Scs-
sion Ended, Says Rowe

"Ihc Democratic House of Repre-
Sentatlves," said Representative Fred
erlck W. Rowe, of Brooklyn, yesterday,
three days before adjournment seated
James }. Britt, of Ashevillc, n c., Re
publican, after keeping Democrat in
his seat for the entire TWO years. Britt,
who was elected in the fall of 1916,
went to Washington at the beginning
of the last session fully expecting to
be seated, as he was honestly elected
"His opponent, zeb Weaver, backed
by the Democratic state machine. re-
celved the certificate of election Britt
placed before the House Committee on
Elections conclusive proof of his cleo
ton, but Weaver held on and voted
with the Democratic majority during
his incumbeDcy.
'ln fact Weaver was the Democratic
ma jority, for had MIR Britt been al
lowed his seat at first, the Democrats
could not have elected Champ Clark
speaker. could not have organized the
House and could not have dictated
legislation for the last two years.
. D times of peace, perhaps, Weaver
could have been bounded out of the

but with the war on and the Demo
Gratis in control the robbery was per
pctrated with pretty much everybody
admitting it. There never has been
case Of more fragrant and indefensi-
Bile partisanship than this action of
a Democratic majority, made posi-
BILE by the vote of man who held
his seat illegally, in refusing, for
two years, to consider the evidence
of fraud in his election and give
justice TO the rightfully elected Rep
resentative, because it knew if it did
deal honestly it would lose control
Of the House
"Although the action of the House
in seating Mr.. Britt was belatcd
justice, it veritics the charge Of Re
publicans that the Democrats keep CON
troll of North Carolina only by the
most corrupt use of election ma
chinery, and it has given a new zest
to the fight which the Republicans
have launched to redeem that state
from the domination of the Democratic
