agents in Mexico, and a few weeks age

LAUNCH NEW ATTACK
IN SENATE AGAINST
CU|NM|NS' RAIL BILL
1eenubllcan A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Given a re-
newed opportunity by restoration of
the measure to the committee of the
whole, senate critics of the Cummins
railroad bill today launched new and
heated attack on various provisions CT
the legislation designed to meet condf-
tions incident to the forthcoming re-
turn of the railroad properties.
Senators La Toilette, republican,
Wisconsin, and Dial, democrat, South
Carolina, led the renewed attack and
their discussion of the bill occupied
virtually the entire session. The re-
suit at adjournment was that the
measure was no nearer passage.
Leaders, however, expressed hope to-
night that final vote would be reached
before the end of the week.
During the debate today, republican
leaders of the senate and house con-
ferred regarding holiday recess plans
and leaders of the lower branch were
assured that there is every prospect of
having the railroad legislation sent to
conference before the holiday recess
planned to begin December 90 Final
enactment of the legislation is not
probable. the leaders agreed, until after
congress reconvenes next month. Con-
fidence was expressed by the confer
ees, however, that President Wilson
would await enactment of the 1egisla-
tion in January before turning back
the properties.
Senator La Toilette urged a five
year extension of government contro,
| and charged that the pending measure
was virtually for the benefit of the
railroads.

URGES AMERICA
To TAKE PLACE
as NAVAL POWER
Program Outlined By Navy
General Board Would
Make Uncle Sans Sea
Forces the Greatest in
World-Merchant Marine
Demands an Expansion
[Republlcan A. p. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-Two battle
ships, one battle cruiser, ten scout
cruisers. five submarine "flotilla lead
ers' and six submarines are recon-
mended by the navy general board, in
n report made public today, in the
program TO make the navy OF the
United States equal to the most pow
erful maintained by any other nation
in the world" not later than 1925.
The statement of policy as to the
ultimate strength OF the navy and the
time when II should be achieved is a
reiteration OF the boards position as
carried in its report to Secretary Dan
iels each year since 1915.
Contrary to his custom for the last
few years, Mr.. Daniels did not make
public the boards recommendations
when his own annual report was re-
leased. although it was attached to
that document as it went to the presi-
dent. Mr.. Daniels did not himself
recommend any building program,
Withholding this for later presentation.
Should Be First Naval Power
In its recommendations, the general
board urged a policy Of naval expan-
sion that will guarantee protection of
coast lines and the rapidly expanding
merchant marine against any naval
power in the world. Such protection,
the board declared, can be had only
by increasing American sea power to
n point where IT is second to none"
and maintaining 1t at that level
The board further asserted that the
war. having demonstrated that pos
session OF fleet powerful enough to
protect its commerce is vital to any
nation in time of hostilities, the main
tenance OF such a navy by the United
States would be q great preventative
Of war. for no nation would lightly
provoke hostilities when her cwn COM
merce would thereby be imperiled. y
The necessary future strength of the
American navy, therefore must depend,
he board said, upon the naval strength
Of the powers in a position to chal-
lenge our legitimate commercial ex-
pansion upon the high seas"
Declaring the greatest naval lesson
of the war was the immense advan-
tage Of uniformity in speed and arma-
ment OF first line ships, the board as
serted 1t already was evident tnat
first line ships of the American navy
must have heavier armament thar
the u inch guns of the first dread
were rapidly assuming the same re-
lationship to the navy's superdread-
naughts that the older battleships bear
to the first dreadnaughts themselves
with the time approaching when they
can no longer be considered as eff
fective first line ships. The German
fleet, the board declared in this con
nection, was handicapped and no
strengthened by the presence of pre-
dreadnaughts of slower speed an(
lighter armament in the battle of Jut
land. because they reduced "the man
euvering and fighting powers Of tn
entire force"
More Scout Cruisers Needed
Emphasizing the deficiency of tn
American navy in scout cruisers, tn
board, recommending the construction
of 10 of these ships, cited the value o
such craft to the British fleet durinl

ADJOURNMENT AND No
DECISION D|SAPPO|NTS
OFFICIAL WASHINGTON
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Proceed-
ings at Indianapolis, where the United
Mine Workers union leaders were con-
sidering President Wilson's proposal
for the settlement of the coal strike,
were followed with tense interest here
today and the night adjournment
without a decision caused keen disap-
pointment- At the White House and
fuel administration and also at a
meeting of coal operators. reports from
the miners gathering were closely
scanned.
An official message sent to the White
House by Attorney General Palmer
in indianapolis was misconstrued and
thereby resulted in a prematire an
nouncement that the miners had agreed
to the presidents proposal for the set
tlement Of the strike. The message,
which was sent by Mr.. Palmer just
as union representatives were begin
ming their meeting as revised, said the
miners would promptly acquiesce in
the presidents plan"
Fuel Administrator Garfield refused
comment throughout the day and
would say nothing officially tonight,
1t was noted, however, that the presi-
dents proposal included the immediate
wage increase of IA per cent which was
suggested by DIR. Garfield at the recent
joint meeting here Of the miners and
operators.
The coal operators at an informal
session discussed the presidents prop
osition at length but adjourned until
tomorrow without reaching any agree
ment. While they generally withheld
| comment on the terms of the proposal
there were intimations that provision
| for retroactive wage awards to tbs
miners without compensating increas.
es in the governments fixed prices fol
coal would meet with disfavor. The
operators. however, already have &C.
cepted the straight IA per cent wage
increase, which was rejected by ths
miners at the joint conference.

The department took over On June

daily from the Chicago Union stock
yards on livestock receipts and
prices, not only those regularly sent
over the leased wire of the bureau of
markets, but all reports used by com
mercial news agencies and press as

influence in restoring confidence in the

OF which has been a fundamental OBJ

The news service on dairy and poul-

Since the fall of 1917 it has covered

Many producers, distributors and

of markets and to make less use of
commercial price-quoting agencies,
which are not able to furnish data so
reliable, accurate, prompt and compre-
hensive, according to the annual re-
port of the secretary Of agriculture.
The market news services were
greatly enlarged in the fiscal year 1918
until branch Offices numbered approx
mately ninety. They were distribut-
ing market information to all sections
of the country over practically 14,000
miles Of leased wires.
The news service on fruits and veg
etables was made continuous through
out the year for the first time since
1t was instituted. Reports were issued
in season covering approximately 80
commodities and indicating daily car
load shipments, the shipping prices in
the particular markets throughout the
country, and other shipping-point
facts. Temporary field stations were
operated at so points in two produc-
ing sections, more than twice as many
as in the preceding year.
Z The news service on live stock and
meats was extended to include addi-
tional important live stock and meat
