Little Stories Of the
 DayFrora Washington
Labor and Material Responsible for Stoppage of Posof flee Work-Almon Gives Complete Reply to Long h worth's Charges Regarding Muscle Shoals Baker Insists on Abandoning Camps
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

II Washington, January So.-(Special) Work on the Birmingham postoffice and many other postoffices throughout the United States has been stopped not with the sanction of the treasury department, \ but with the silent consent of that de- partrnnt according to indications. -.@D The contractors for all these postof-
 tices have been up against it'' on ac- count of inability to secure labor and material.
 ! For the latter deficiency, the govern ment in refusing priority orders was, in $ome part, responsible. The government was then confronted by the necessity of .scrapping'' contracts and calling for l new bids, necessitating great delay, or permitting contractors to cease work in hope that Congress would run to their as- lsistance.
 K And Congress may do so. Representa- ktive Burnett of Alabama has a bill pend ing which would cover legitimate losses sustained by contractors on account of the war and conditions following the
 war. If this bill pases the House, Sen
 ator Underwood will espouse it in the Senate.
 TS The cessation of work in Birmingham contains no menace to the completion Of the federal building. The edifice will be greeted even if the contract now existing
 is ''scrapped' and new bids asked for.

Washington, January 30.-(Special)
 Nicholas Longworth of Ohio in his cam paign against the completion of govern fsnent work at Muscle Shoals, has been answered by Representative Almon of the Eighth Alabama district, and checked, According to democratic interpretation. sJudge Almon answered the criticism of Longworth with figure for figure. The )rohioan's every point was check-mated, and in the process, democrats openly ex- pressed their delight, and republicans edisplayed no dissatisfaction. In reply
 ip Longworth's request for investigation, Judge Aimon declared that he courted han investigation, and would be glad if Itongworth were named chairman of the
 Investigating board
 fJudge Almon challenged Longworth to proyeethat.ethe government had turned
 this property over to the American Cyrla- mid company or contemplated such pro- eedure. He explained that all on which
 the Ohio representative could base such
 statement was clause in the contract } under which the American Cynamid com
 pany, should the government ever desire
 to sell would be given six months in Which to agree upon a price satisfactory
 to the government
 The Alabama member contended that
 the government should never sell but
 should continue to operate the plants for
 the benefit of the southern farmer

SOLDIERS WASH
 THEIR OWN CLOTHES

Washington, January 30.-(Special) Just as Congress voted $100,000, 900 by means of which to make Europeans comfortable. it was established as fact that at Walter Reed hospital, Wash ington, heroes with arms and legs missing are. doing their own washing
 Those financially able hire women Others, and they are in the great ma. jority, are doing their own washing.
 When the truth was made known, Congress threw a fit or two General Marsh. chief of staff, was called upon for explanation.
 "There is nothing in law" he said, "authorizing the government to Fay for the washing of soldiers clothes While in camp the clothes are general. ly given out in companies and each member pays his pro rata share. In hospitals, however, no such arrange ment is made because of it's imprac- ticability.'
 There are a number of Alabama boys at Walter Reed. The patients run into several hundreds and all of them are heroes Many who bend over the tubs gave an arm or leg at Cha teau Therry.

Iron and Steel Review

Cleveland. January 3O.-The Iron Trade Review today says: Liberal buying of Iron and .steel has yet to make its ap- pearanCe, and the market continues to drift. Peace readjustments manifest ly have not gone forward as fast as hoped, and the delay in winding up the governments war settlements also is a factor tending to promote conservative and cautious policies in general industry Iron and steel manufacturers evidently are reconciled to a period of waiting and are earnestly seeking to avoid any ex- tenslVe dislocation of employment or wages. Some headway, being made by labor agitators in the middle west in their efforts to organize all employees is not calculated to help the situation at this stage. The industry is being obliged to make further curtailment of opera tion to square itself with the light vol ume of buying.
 A canvass of the pig iron situation shows that at the present time Ss stacks with an estimated daily capacity of l5,000 to 2O,0OO tons have been blown out or banked, most of these since January l. All activities are not far from 60 per cent on the average. The best showing ap- pears to be in plates, seats and merchant mills products.
 Finished and semi i-finished steel prices
  sessions usually prove to be incorrect. Demands overland the market in large amounts, but their conversion into sales still is being held off by the present levels of shipping rates and mill prices combined.
 Reductions of the ocean freights and re- leases of further vessel tonnage for commercial use by the shipping board forms a favorable development but pro- ducers have not been able to satisfy for eign buyers on prices.
 Welsh tin plate makers have been quot ing below the American price and also have a favorable position on freights, but these advantages it is believed. largely are neutralized by the fact that these plants now are able to operate on only about 30 per cent basis.
 With many furnaces banked or going out of blast, the lifting of federal con- trol February l has been signified by a softer market in coke. Coke operators contemplate corresponding reduction of output in the event of further weakening of the market. This probably will be done by reduction of the working days per week. Some companies already have taken action along this line.

HEFLIN HAS PLAN
 TO BOOST COTTON

Washington, January S0.-(SpeciaD Predictions that the price of cotton would be 50 cents have failed to come true
 Representative Heflin has a reason and a remedy. Wall street gamblers have interferred His proposed cure- all is an investigation with view to prosecute.
 In this connection it is significant that the department of agriculture has issued a statement. Raise less cotton and more food is the advice of the ex- perts of the department rendered to the southern farmer. Nothing is said of Wall street crookedness or crimi- nal prosecution.
 se This advice is given because the con sumption of cotton in consuming couH- tries may be substantially less next year than in pre-war times. It is be- lieved by the department that the de- mand for hay, oats. corn, wheat, pea nuts and beans will be greater.
 "The economies which the people of Europe must practice for years ta come must be given consideration" says the department.

If the church memberships think church attendance will be increased if picture shows are put out of busi- ness they promise to inveigh against the picture shows.

and then practically give it away to
foreign people"
senator Martin said such relief APP
preparations had been made many
times, and cited a number of prece-
dents, including the appropriation of
$500 900 for Italian earthquake suf-
ferers in 1909.
Senator Kenyon declared he did not
believe II proper that the people of
this country should be compelled to
give to a charity fund for the aid of
foreign nations and that the relief
should be carried out through private
subscriptions. He contended that con-
sress had no right to take the money
of the people by taxation for cahrity
outside the country Statements in
tending to show why the bill should
be passed, he said, were indefinite,
and declared that President Wilson
get his information only from Mr..
Hoover.
Perhaps this is the result of secret
diplomacy IN Europe the. senator
said. II wish the president would
serve notice that il the foreign ma
items insist on the secret diplomacy
now going on at Paris, that he and
his staff will return to this country
and also withdraw our army from Eu-
rope and let Europe do it alone"
Referring to President Wilson's
statement that food would stop Boil
shevism, Senator KENYON declared:
"You will stop the Rolsheviki, not
by feeding them, butb by removing in
Justices"
Before giving relief to Europe the
situation in the United States should
be considered, Senator Kenyon said,
adding that 100000 men are out of
employment in the United States and
that there are inadequate hospital ia
cilities to care for the returned
wounded soldiers.
Senator Borah said it was impossi-
