Remedy With Conferecs.

1t Ia considered improbable that the
imperfections in the Senate bill can De
corrected on the floor, but an attempt
with the approval of the War Depart
ment will be made to have them reme-
died when the bill goes into conference.
The Senate debated the bill practically
through the day without reaching a-vcre.
The situation was described by Chairman
Chamberlain OF the Military Committee,
who has the bill in charge, thus:
We now find these contractors with
approximately $4,000, 100000 worth of
contracts. who are not able to get their
money from the Government. II has
caused great confusion and threatens
with ruin some OF the business men who
undertook Government work"
II know OF more than one instance.
said Senator Pomerene (Ohio) in which
firm was told that il would have To
take the work imposed on It by the War
Industries Board or its plant would be
Communicated. Yet after that the in
formal contracts were invalidated by the
War Depa rtment because 1t had no way
to pay them. The situation Is that
many firms face bankruptcy through this
situation being forced upon them
Senator Fre.inghuysen On j. asserted
there were altogether $4,000 contracts
made by the War Department that had
to be abandoned after the armlstice was
signed.

See Congestion of Claims.

This reference to the Department OF
Justice, It is said, virtually requires that
every contract taken up must be subject
to such review. AS there will be thirty
two boards of adjustment working
through the country representing the
Secretary Of War In adjusting these
claims II obviously would be impossible
for the reviewing authority in the De-
partment Of Justice to pass on such adj
justments. even approximately. as rap
idly as they are made. and as the right
of appeal from such adjustments expires
inter thirty days. the certain congestion
in the Department of Justice would
virtually annul the right of appeal.
These contracts. as was brought out
in the Senate debate to-day, were in
many cases entered into by manufactur-
ers. informally. under pressure OF ap-
peals to their patriotism on the part Of
the War Department in some cases
threats of Communicating urged them
on. The capital tied up by the refusal
of the Treasury Department to authorize
payments under informal contracts or
this nature, in many cases faces the
contractor with financial ruin and
speedy legislation Is essential.
