CHINESE COUNCIL
FAILS TO AGREE
(By Associated Press)

SHANGHAI, March g. The dele
gates of the northern Chinese govern,
ment, in session here with representa-
tives of the southern government for
the purpose of adjusting differences
which have led to fighting during the
recent past, have telegraphed their
designations to Peking, asking that
they be replaced by more competent
representatives who enjoy the COM
plete confidence of the government"
1t is understood that the actual rea-
sons for the delegates rendering their
designations lie in the fact that the
Peking government has failed to en-
force satisfactorily the arr,istice in
the province of Shensi, where the mill
tary government is reported to have
attacked southern forces, and also
that Chu Chih-Chien. the chief north
ern delegate, is considered as a mouth
piece not to be trusted, whereas the
decisions of Tang Shao-Yi, the head of
the southern delegation, are binding
on the south. If Peking accepts the
designations, the peace conference will
break up.
Observers here believ that if the
conference is dissolved the northern
militarists will have won a triumph
and that the Chino-Japanese military
convention providing for the building
up of the new army officered by men
trained in Japan will go forward. The
China-Japanese military convention,
which has been extended by special
clause, signed February to the time
when the allies will withdraw their
forces from Siberia, contains military
and naval agreements, it is said, which
apparently bind China very closely
to Japanese advisership and control in
military and naval matters. All the
details, however, are kept secret, and
have not been disclosed to the dele
gates here.

NO POSSIBILITY
FOR PASSAGE OF
DEFENSE BILLS

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 3.--With the
victory liberty loan bill out of the way
passage of which early yesterday pract
tically ended an effort to force an
extra session of congress in advance
Of the presidents return from France,
both branches of congress went to
work early today with the hope of
clearing up mass Of bills, few of
which leaders thought would be put
through.
Democratic leaders predicted that
while the army and navy appropria-
ton measures would not be passed
this session, they were certain the
billion-dollar wheat guarantee bill and
the general deficiency appropriation
measure, carrying $z50,000O0O addi.
tional for the railroad administration,
would be enacted before sine die ad.
journment at noon tomorrow. A
speech by Senator Sherman of Illinois,
Republican, attacking the league of
nations, was set for today although
Democratic leaders intimated there
would be no further discussions Of
this subject in the closing hours.
Suffragists Fear Delay
There seemed little chance Of get
ting through nearly dozen bills, in
Guiding the agricultural bill with j
rider to repeal the daylight saving
act; the sundry. civil bill carrying
$600,000,000 for the shipping board,
omnibus building bills, and the meas
ure providing for federal control and
regulation of the meat packing in
dustry. These are only a few of the
measures that are expected to die on
the calendar.
Hope virtually was abandoned by
suffrage leaders of preventing a fill
buster on the equal suffrage constitu-
tional amendment which Senator Jones
of New Mexico expected to call if op-
portunity offered.
Agreement was reached today by
the senate judiciary committee to take
no action on legislation to enforce
wartime prohibition which becomes
effective July 1. The committee de-
cided there was no chance of passage
of the pending bill at this session.

President Promises to Place

WILSON OPENS, SESSION
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 3.AOpening
the white house conference of govern
ors and mayors on peace time busf-
ness and labor problems today, Pres
ident Wilson promised that the fed.
eral government would consider itself
the servant of the state, municipali-
ties and counties in solving readjust-
ment problems and would perform it's
duty guided by suggestions of the con-
ference.
The president said he hoped the
conference discussion would assume a
wide range, including means of re-
storing labor conditions to normal
basis as soon as possible, "and to af-
fecting such fresh ALLEGATION of labor
and industry as the circumstances
may make necessary"
Touching upon the peace confer
ence, he said the conferees at Paris
regarded themselves only as servants
Of about 700 million people of the
world, and not as their masters.
Federal Competition.
Consequently, said the president,
the conferees are anxious to keep in
close sympathy with the people whom
they represent, ''to find out how we
can best assist in making their lives
what they wish them to be by giving
the opportunity they ought to have"
The president spoke briefly, confln-
ing himself largely to welcoming the
visitors and promising complete fed
eral cooperation. He explained that
the demands upon his time during the
day and half he could remain in
Washington, made it impossible for
him to participate in the conference.
Secretary of Labor Wilson, who pre-
sdes at the opening session, told the
conference committee that the recent
strie at Seattle. Butte, Lawrence, and
other places, were not industrial eco
nomic disputes in their origin, but
were the result Of a deliberate 1tRac,
nfzed attempt at a social and POLITICAL
to establish Soviet govern
ment in the United States.
