grams had been addressed to Presi-
dent Wilson, who sent them to the
committee. -
"They came from the traction in
terests," shouted Mayor Hoan.
Don't get excited" the Portland
executive replied. 1--WE pulled that
corporation stuff as you are doing
and it goes we'll with your constitu-
ents, but advocate this section be-
cause we ought to have some gov
eminent agency to help us in diff
culties which cannot be settled To-
cally."
Motion to strike out the clause
was defeated "a to Fl.

The controversy between Cover
nor Cox and Mayor Rolph arose out
of a resolution which the mayor in
troduced early in the day, demand
ing that President Wilson reconvene
congress to pass appropriation
measures, condemning the building

Japanese yards while contracts in

and favoring the principle of collect

committees decision to accept the
resolution Governor Cox said he
will be glad to give reasons if de-
sired.
Mayor Rolph failed to obtain
postponement of consideration of
the report until night session and
then promptly demanded that the
governor give the reasons for elimi-
mating the mayors resolution Gov.
Cox did not reply and the fight over
the adoption of the report began.
Later Gov. Cox rose to a question
of personal privilege.
Nothing in word or spirit was in
tened to convey asperity to the
mayor of San Francisco" he said.
THE committee desired to avoid
subjects which are matters of polit-
ical controversy"
Mayor Rolph heatedly replied that
there was no intention to bring poll
tics into the gathering, that he had
criticised the republican filibuster
which defeated the appropriation
measures, but that the only way to
get congress back on the Job" was
to have the president cali an extra
session.
An attempt to have the conference
endorse government ownership of
railroads was defeated by acclama-
ton.
At the morning session, dissatis-
faction of western delegates at what
they regarded as the failure of the
conference to achieve concrete re-
suits broke forth in a storm of de-
bate, during which Secretary Hous-
