HALF-AND-HALF PLAN

Agreement on All But
Two Points.

The conferees of the Senate and
House on the District appropriation
bill completed their work on that
measure, reconciling all differences ex-
cept in the case of two items, the

EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
OPPOSITION EXPLAINED
Former Ohio Official Testifies at
Hearing That Methods War
Required Are Feared.

Opposition to the Kenyon-Nolan bill.
which would create a permanent fed
eral employment service to cooperate
with state and local agencies. is due
partly to the belief that while the
war was being prosecuted the service
was used to draft labor from non-es-
sential industries for essential ones.
Fred c. Croxton of Columbus. former
chairman Of the Ohio state industrial
commission, testified at joint hearings
of the Senate and House labor COM
mittees yesterday.
Labor recruiting restrictions were
necessary during the war to meet the
crying need of the war industries"
Mr.. Croxton said. Employers are
now magnifying instances that oc-

tions were on. Certainly the taking
OF an ablebodied man from a candy
manufacturer for munitions plant

TW0FLEETS T0BE
EQUALLY DIVIDED
Size of Pacific Division Not
to Exceed Atlantic, Mr..
Daniels Says.

Statements in the press that the new
Pacific fleet soon to be sent to western
waters would be larger or more pow
erful than the Atlantic fleet to be re-
tanned on this side Of the continent
have been denied by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, who said the two di-
visions will be divided as evenly as
possible.
Just what ships will be assigned to
one fleet or the other has not yet been
determined" said the Secretary. But
l have asked Admiral Benson to d.
vide them into two groups. so that II
] asked him which he had rather COM :
mand in a hostile action he could
truthfully say he had just as soon
have one group as the other.
Theoretical Combat Annually.
"Once a year we expect to have these
two fleets come together in theo-
retical combat. By thus fostering tne
spirit of competition we hope to keep
morale, as navy is so prone " oo
after the close of a war.
The division of the naval craft into
two fleets did not necessarily mean
that one fleet will always be on outy
in the Pacific and the other in the AT
lantic. said the Secretary for at least
once a year they will be in the same
waters. and oftener if circumstances
so dictate.
More than 500 men a day are being
released from the Navy, the Secretary
announced. and by the end of the
present week the force will have been
reduced tc 250,000 men. More than
265. 900 men have left the service since
the armistice was signed.
Although some reduction OF the
American naval force abroad will fol-
low the signing of the peace treaty.
a number of war vessels will remain
in European waters indefinitely.
American mine sweepers are now
aiding in clearing the North sea mine
fields, which may take almost year
to complete. Secretary Daniels char
acterized this as 'the most dangerous
and arduous duty now being per-
formed by the naval forces OF any
nation"

unless sooner changed by state COM
missions, under the conference agree
ment-a compromise between the
ninety days rate extension clause of

continuance proposed by the House.
The practical effect of the legisla-
tion, the conferees stated, will be that
| all of the wires will be returned to

fdently that the law will be signed

The Senate conferees yielded on the
Senate plan of returning the wire
lines forthwith" They stated that
enactment of the legislation this
month was practically impossible, and
