HINES TO BUY STEEL ON COMPETITIVE BASIS
 IN WAR OVER PRICES

NEW YORK, May sS.-Walker D. Hines, director general of railroads, announced here tonight that the rail- road administration will ask imme- diately for competitive bids for 100000 tons of steel rails.
 Representative of the railroad ad- ministration and the manufacturers committee of the Iron and Steel insti- ute failed at a conference today to reach an agreement for a reduction. of the schedule of steel prices approved by the industrial board of the depart ment of commerce.
 According to statement. issued at the end of 3 long discussion, the rail- road administration contended the prices were not low enough, while the manufacturers asserted a further re duction could not be made without a decrease in the cost of production which would necessitate a lowering oi wages.
 MT. Hines announcement. was made after he had been informed by his rep resentatives that they had been un- able to induce representative of the lsrpe manufacturers at a conference here today to agree on reduction oi the schedule of steel prices approved by the industrial board of the depart ment of commerce. Mir. Hines declared it was his set led purpose to buy stee materials on the competitive bidding basis as rapidl as they are needed.

 fashion as to convince officers here that prospects for reaching Plymouth, navy station, were exceedingly bright.
 Each of the three planes had triple radio installation when it left Rocka- way One set was the telephone by which they communica .ed with each other while in flight at a distance of a score or more miles. Stations and guard ships listened in" on many of these conversations and reported them The second set yas the regu- lar long dis .ance radio installation, and the third was the equipment for the radio compasses.
 Send Messages in FIieht
 As the planes approached one of the patrol vessels, long before it was sighted, the long distance radio was buzzing. Questions and answers flashed back and forth, dealing inrdi- rections for navigation. Important communications wer reiayed to and from the speeding seaplanes, some from Washington. One carried greet ings to Commander Towers and his crews from Acting Secretary RoOse- vet, who watched the trip with keen interest all day as the departments messages came in. Another relayed cabIed assurance from London that every facility of the British admiralty would be at the disposal of the Amer ican airmen when they reached Brit sh waters.
 The communication arrangements of the navy department worked out per fectly Repeatedly messages from Commander Towers, sent from his speeding flagship of the air squadron, the NC-3, reached the desks of off cers here in few minutes of the time they were sent Intercepted by any of the raido stations ashore. or afloat on the chain reaching clear to Halifax, hey were rushed to Washington on the navy's leased wire.
 The entire operation of the system was grouped under direc ion of Lieu tenant Tunis A. M. Craven.
 "Pcture Log" Kept
 Throughout the day Lieutenant Craven kept a continuous log on the flight, made up from tho messages that came The log pictures graphi- caIIy he swift rush northward of the big flying yboass with sheir crews. Even the 50 minutes that elapsed after the NC-1 and NC-3 were safely moored for the night at Halifax and before the cruiser Baltimore, stationed there, sent in the official report of the ar rival, 1t was know nthat no ship had occurred, almost before the mashines themselves had. been moored.
 More difficulty will be experienced in get ing word through promptly when the long lap from Newfoundland to the Azores starts. When the fifth or sixth station ship has been left behind communication will have to speed ahead to be relayed back by cable. The destroyers canno5 com muunicate. more than 250 miles by radio in daytime and they will leave their posts after the last of the flyers has passed.

LUXURY STAMPS HERE;
 ONE WITH EVERY LIP
 STICK OR LIVER PILL

The new Proprietary Stamps which are placed on all the luxu- ries of life, such as lip rouge, eye lash darkeners and other beauti- fiers are now on sale at the local postoffiee. Heretofore they had to be obtained from Phoenix.
 The new stamps are part of the governments plan of taxation and each bottle of patent medicine that is sold over the drug counters must be adorned with one of the stamps. Paints and powders and weak backs and stomach troubles are all luXuries. Hence the stamp is added on each purchase. These new luxury stamps come in de- nominations running from to 75 cents.
 Regardless of the fact that soft drinks are keeping pace with the rest of the luxuries the new stamps are not placed on any of the drinks and the consumer is not obliged to swallow a stamp with each glass of coco cola.

U. s. SENATORS SPLIT
 OVER PEACE TREATY
Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One) licenses and rights to use for infringe ments committed during the war are cancelled"
 Why U. s. Left Out Puzzles
 T don't understand" he said, why that exception was made as to the United States or why we are to be left open to litigation growing out of the use of German formulas and patents" "
 Senator Norris of Nebraska, made this statement: "One thing that | like particularly about the
 peace treaty is the disarmament proposition. However, my own
 idea is that the treaty should have gone still further in reducing Germany's armament. Germany should not be allowed an army of
 100000 men and her navy is too big" s Senator Harding of Ohio, republican said that "in general way there can be little fault found with the pro visions imposed upon Germany" but added that 'the big issue raised is that raised by our involvment in the league of nations which is to carry out many of the treaty provisions"
 "I doubt if the senate will consent to this country entering upon re responsibilities, limitations of which we do not know" he said.

 ON NEW MOTOR LAWS

PHOENIX, May 8.-The corporation commission has invited all the county attorneys and sheriffs in Arizona and representatives from each incorporat- ed city to a conference at the capital May 22 to work. out ways and means of enforcing the new law regarding motor vehicles plying for hire.
 The new law places under the con trol of the commission every vehicle operated for hire to carry either pas sengers or freight. The measure will go into effect June IS.
 I. was stated at the commissions office today that operators of such vehicles will be regarded in the light of public service corporations and must obtain from the commission a certificate of convenience and neces- sity and operate under tariffs set by the commission.
 A point in the new law which may prove temporarily embarrassing was indicated today in the amendment to the measure made in tn ehouse, mak- ing the law go into effect June IS, and requiring that all vehicles plying for hire must have cer sificates on that date. It was stated that applications for such certificates could not very well be granted until that date.
