HOOVER DEMANDS GERMANS

US. Approves 76O Roads Since 1917 Only 8 Fa Fan1shed

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Al- though congress has appropriated $48, 8,500,000 to assist the states in road building, and the government has approved 160 projects, embrac- ing a total of 7,869 miles, less than AS miles of highway have been constructed. These figures were made public today by the depart ment of labor, as part of its cam paign to stimulate revival of pub lie works construction, as an offset to unemployment.
 Although federal aid for state roads has been available since 1917, only eight states report road projects, involving federal aid, completed, the statement said.
 Admitting that road materials and labor costs are high, the de- partment asserted that the ex- pense to the states will not be prohibitive, because the federal appropriation will cover one half.

GENEVA, Saturday, Feb. IS (By Associated Press).-kurt Eisner, the Bavarian premier, on his re- turn to Munich from the recent so- ciaIist conference held at Berne, made reply to attacks in the Ger man press concerning his speech at Berne.
 Eisner said the Germans did not realize to what degree they were isolated from the world, and what terrible mistrust there was of Ger man politics outside Germany. The Germans, he added, did not realize to what extent the allies consid- cred the German revolution a pure comedy, and said that it will be thus while the German leaders re- main the same as those who con ducted Germany's odious war pol icy.
 Herr Eisner demanded an entire change of the German government leaders.

FOOD AND MONEY BOYCOTT WEAP0 P0N .|S NOW PLANNED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-American financial and trade representatives now in Europe have devised extensive plans for using the economic boycott as weapC against nations failing to abide by decrees of the proposed league of nations. According to official informa ton here today, they will urge on the peace conference, measures making possible close international co-opera- ton in the application of economic principles to replace use of armed force to great extent.
 No specific machinery for putting into effect measures of economic boy colt has been agreed upon.
 Officials of the treasury, department of commerce and war trade board, familiar with the plans of the Ameri- can representatives at Paris, suggest an. international trade commission to investigate unfair trade practices, which might easily develop into inter national irritation and war. as well as to set into motion the economic forces against nations transgressing interna- tional agreements.
 Under the American plan the mani pulation of the supply r" raw materials and of the purchase of manufactured products and of financial arrangements between countries. would be the prin- cipal means of effectin boycott. The international committee also might develop broad constructive power to work out better plans for in ternational financial operation, such as the establishment of a foreign ex- change, gold pool and standardization of multitude of trade laws and prac tices.
 Officials said the American plan would necessitate continued co-opera tion between the government and business in the country, and possibly notifications of the anti trust laws ol i their application.

Question on Coal Delivery.

A number of members of the COM
mittee questioned Mr.. Smith closely
regarding costs of delivery of coal in
Washington and the prices charged
consumers.
These questions also endeavored to
determine what part. If any, the coal
dealers association had in maintain
ing a uniform price. This inquiry
was conducted by Representatives
Johnson of Ohio. Wheeler of Illinois.
Murphy of Ohio and Zihlman of

Mr.. Smith to put into the record an

deavors to furnish an adequate supply

consumers in Washington, and how
the association helped the merchants
here to get an adequate supply.
Mr.. Smith said that to his know1-
edge no dealer in Washington had
proflteered in the price of coal. He
also assured the committee that his
association does not control prices.

Sales Regulations Urged.

Strict regulations for the sale of
coal in small packages to be marked
with the weight are contained in the
bill as drawn by Mr.. Roberts. Re-

people we cannot make this provision

Mr.. Roberts testified that he has
known Of instances in which the poor
people buying in small lots were
charged at the rate of $25 ton for
coal.
Mr.. Roberts, in response to ques-
tons by members of the committee.
said that there is no more abuse in
the sale of ice than any other COM
modify. He advocated the sale of ice
by weight only and described what
he called the "highhanded methods"
of some of the drivers of ice wagons
which his department Is endeavoring
to suppress. In response to questions
by Representative Focht, Mr.. Roberts
said there was no reason for any
shortage of ice in the District.

Ton Change Discussed.

The discussion relative to coal start
ed with the suggestion that the Gus
| tom of delivering 2,240 pounds as a
ton of coal in Washington should be
altered. making 1000 pounds the legal
ton. to conform with most Of the
other states. Mr.. Roberts explained
| that there is no law regarding the
weight of a ton of coal in Washing
ton, and his principal objection to the
legal 200O-pound ton would be that it
would interfere with custom.
Representative Murphy Of Ohio in
sisted that if the standard ton was
changed it should be written into the
law that the price to the consu mer
must be reduced accordingly. Mr..
Smith said his company would i'm
mediately do that and reduce the
price. and that the directors of the
Coal Dealers Association would ad-
wise all members to reduce the price
cOrrespondingly.
Mr. Smith recorded the objection of
the coal dealers to other features of
the bill. and as the time for the COM
mittee meeting had expired, and as
members of the committee were
anxious to question him further, it
was arranged that Mr.. Smith and
other coal dealers appear again to-
morrow morning.
