SAYS CONTROLLER TRIES
TO TERRIFY BANKERS
Wade Cooper Makes Charges
Against John Shelton Williams
Before Senate Committee.

Wade Cooper, president of the Union
Savings Bank of this city. before the
Senate banking and currency commit
tee. which is considering the renomina-
tion of John Shelton williams, control
Ter of the currency. charged today that
the controller is attempting to ''terrify''
bankers of the country from appearing
in opposition to his nomination. Attor-
neys representing the controller, the
witness said, came TO him and begged
him not to testify.
ore Mr.. Cooper could continue the
httee. after having by 2 vote of
reversed its. action by a sistiiar vote
and decided to conduct its considera-
ton Of the nomination behind closed
doors. ~
Says Williams Wants Publicity.
In opposing a motion fer an execu-
tive session, Senator Hollis of New
Hampshire, democrat, declared the
fight against confirming the nomirfa-
ton was getting tremendously mag
nified." adding that Mr.. Williams
wants 'the full light of day on this
whole thing"
Mr.. Williams will not make any
reprisals against any banks" Senator
Hollis continued.
Controller Williams. who was pres
ent at the time, reaffirmed Senator
Hollis. statement that he was not op-
posed to open session
Closed sessions were urged by Sena-
tor Mclean, of Connecticut, who de-
clared there is general feeling of
fear among certain bankers that if
they appear before the committee
there will be reprisals." He said he
wanted to get at the facts and he
thought the best way to accomplish
that purpose was to hold executive
sessions.
Committee Wants to Know.
Il think" he added. that it is the
duty of the committee to find out as
to whether there is any foundations
for the rumors and statements that
are pretty general. If Mr.. Williams is
misrepresented, we ought to know it,"
A similar attitude was taken by
Senator Gronna, also a republican. and
Mr.. Cooper told the committee that he
would prefer. because of the interest
of clients of his bank, to make his
statement behind closed doors.
Upon the motion of Senator Freling-
huysen of New Jersey, a republican,
the committee reconsidered it's previ-
Gus action in favor of open hearings
and by a strict party vote, in which
the republican members voted for
closed hearings, decided to exclude the
public.

While leaders in the textile workers

serted there was no increase in the
number who returned to work either

The Lawrence Central labor Union

Frank Morrison, secretary of the

conditions existing in the city" The
statement says that the Central Labor
Union sought and obtained. at the re-
quest of the United Textile Workers

clares that while negotiations were
going on "a group of bolshevist and
l. w. w. propagandists" arrived and
became active among the n-Eng-
iish speaking, non-organized textile
workers, making rash promises and
giving un-American advice"
The statement adds that on the ad-
vice of the Central Labor Union many
of the workers went back into the
mills, but that at present 1T is unable
to meet with any success in its ef-
forts for the textile workers because

COMES TO ORESCUE
OF F3YEARPROGRAM
Rules Committee Proposes to
Specify Navy Building in
Appropriation Bill.

To save the new three-year naval
building program from defeat through
la parliamentary coup, the House rules
committee today ordered the report of
"a rule making the legislation authoriz-
ing construction of ten battleships and
ten scout cruisers in order for House
consideration as a part of the $780,
100000 naval appropriation bill
Champions and opponents of the ex-
pansion policy prepared for a test of
strength in the House in considera-
tion of the rule. A vote on the rule
was to be taken after two hours of
debate
No record vote on the rule was TAX
en- in the House committee, but the
three republicans present-Repre
sentatives Fess of Ohio, Smell of New
York and Campbell of Kansas-said
they did not support the rule on the
viva voce vote.
Effect of Proposed Rule.
The adoption of the rule by the
House would restore to the naval ap-
preparation bill all of the language
providing for the, new building pro-
gram. While the rule making this
legislation in order permits later
provisions. members of the rules COM
mittee during their meeting said that
they regarded the vote on adoption of
the rule as virtually the final settle
ment of the building question
Two sections of the building pro-
gram provisions that were eliminated
from the bill yesterday on points of
order made by Representative Mann
of Illinois. republican floor leader.
would be restored to the bill by the
adoption of the rule. These include
the Introductory paragraph, as also
that authorizing construction of ten
battleships.
Mr.. Mann's Argument.
Mr.. Mann, in raising the point of
order. argued that the authorization
for ten superdreadnaughts and ten
scout cruisers was legislation which
could not properly be carried in an
appropriation measure. When this
point had been sustained by Repre-
sentative Garrett of Tennessee, demo-
crat, Chairman Padgett of the naval
committee sought to save the program
by offering an amendment appropriat-
ing $5,000,O00 for new ship construc-
tion.
This amendment was ruled out on
point of order by Mr.. Mann and Mr.
Padgett then proposed an amendment
appropriating s2,000,00 for the ten bat
tleships. Opponents of the naval ex-
pansion policy made no effort to press
their advantage and after an hours
debate on the 1000, 900 amendment the
House adjourned with the points OF
order still pending
During the discussion Chairman Pou
of the rules committee conferred with
Mr.. Padgett and Immediately afterward
sent out call for a meeting of the
rules committee, to be held today

One Of Party Alleged Spy.

Another version of this disturbance
Was that one of the fifty-four had
throughout the journey from the west
been a marked man among his Fellows
of being not radical,
but a government agent in disguise.
A strange scene was presented as
the arrivals stepped from the train
shortly after dawn at the close OF
their long railroad journey. Many of
them wore flaming red ties. The
woman had on fur coat and black
sailor hat. The men had been play
ing cards most of the night and
showed the want of sleep, and were
unshaven. Canvas carpetbass of the
kind immigrants carry were included
in an odd assortment of baggage,
with here and there a shiny new suit
case. Some of the men wore no hats;
one had set panama rakishly back
from his forehead. The temperature
was not mild, and many of the radl-
Gals shivered for lack of overcoats.
The authorities at Hoboken had
prepared for trouble, but no /. w. w.
or anarchist sympathizers were as
sembled at the station. Only police
men. immigration inspectors. news
paper men and few passengers
waiting for trains saw the undesira-
bles stream from the cars. The radi-
calls were not handcuffed, but were
guarded closely.
