MANDATE AWARDS
MADE BY COUNCIL
Continued from First Page.

representing the Union of South Africa,
expressed in the Committee on Man
dates, are debarred from claiming the
same economic privileges as may be
claimed by league members. This point
Is likely to be brought up in the Harding
negotiations as being distinctly unfavor-
able, as 1t stands, to the United States.
The collision occurring here between
the two forces represented by those ma
tons who are dominating the council
of the League of Nations and those
whose voices are confined TO the as
sembly alone. had another interesting
development to-day Before the indig-
nation which has been growing against
the council, Great Britain and France
made a complete volte face on the Al
bantam question. This was a victory
for the assembly. 1t came after the
exchange OF many kilograms last night
between the British delegation here and
Downing Street in London. II was evil
dent that the British delegation, realiz-
ing that the league could easily tumble
If they carried their domination too far
decided to make the best of the situa-
ton, with a view to keeping this ex-
pertinent going until negotiations with
the United States were concluded.
Carrying out the threats he made in
the committee on admissions to league
membership Lord Robert Cecil pleaded
on the floor of the assembly for the ad-
mission of Albania, although the com
mttee had reported against II as a re-
suit OF the refusal of the Powers a few
days ago to give their consent that she
be member Of the league. Lord Robert
insisted that the Powers had already
recognized Albania in 1913 and could
not now change her status as a result
of any secret agreement.
N w. Rowell. of Canada, supported
Lord Robert in this, and again empha-
sized Canada's independence Of the
Downing Street policies Referring to
the fact that there had been some sug-
gestions Of dividing Albania, he said /:
Speaking personally, l cannot recognize
either the legality or the justice in any
group Of States undertaking to partition
another State which Is weak and de-
fenceless without the consent of that
State"
1t was after this argument, which
showed the assembly was in q danger
Gus mood. that II. A. L. Fisher Of Great
Britain got up and said that the Brit
ish delegation, having carefully re-
viewed the situation. was now prepared
to vote for Albania's admission to the
league.
There was another potent reason be-
hind the British backdown, inasmuch
as the Indian delegation told the Brit
ish representatives that II Albania, a
Mohammedan country, We're refused
membership in the league, they. the
Indians. could not be responsible for
the effect such action would have on
Moslems throughout the British Empire.

STILL FIND OBJECTIONS TO CIIMMINS BILL

WaSh1nStOn, FeDruary b.-topecldi- l--- | The action of the conferees on the rail- road control bill. striking the penalty clauses in the enforcement of anti-strike l legislation, has not appeased the radical l spokesmen of organized labor in the House, it develops today.
 The penalty clauses were never regard ed as necessary to the retention of the principle involved, according to Senator Underwood of Alabama. partly responsi- ble for anti-strike legislation, and other recc gnized leaders of the Senate. The legislation as it remains sets up a gov ernmental body to settle disputes and ad- just wage differences. and the futility of striking against an order of the gov ernuent, even when no penalty is in volve,t, is recognized by labor leaders of the House.
 It is understood tonight that these lead CTS will proceed against the conference agreement in hope that they might re- tain inviolate the right to strike against interstate commerce ad libitum, despite the destruction that such strike would work.
 The conference agreement recognized the right of the Senate commissions to authorize intrastate rates only to the exten. that such authorization would not interfere with interstate commerce. No license is given state comm issions to raise arbitrary handicaps discriminating against rival states or cities of rival states. Precaution is taken against the repetition of the Meridian case respect ing Alabama rates and the Shreveport case respecting Texas rates.
 Specific provision remains that there shall be no change in existing rates as long as the government exercises any control over the railroads. Various state commissions including those of Georgia and Alabama. raised violent protest against any effort of the government to hinder them in promulgating any intra-
 state rate which they might decire to promugate. They invoked the doctrine of state rights to counteract the conten- ton of the government that no state has the right to legislate in such way as to interfere with interstate commerce. One action of the conference will bring cheer to the lawyers and doctors of the United States, all of whom had been anil
 mated to violent protest. In the Esch bill was a provision that it would be un- lawful for any railroad to grant pass to lawyer or a doctor. This provision was stricken unanimously, it is under stood.

----.os-~ THIRD LIBEL FILED AGAINST STEAMSHIP

Mobile. February -(SpeciaD-Ho soon- CT had the master of the British schooner Cashier given his testimony in the fed- eral court in the libel suit filed by two Japanese seamen, ]. Toryama and T. Ta-
 mamoto, for s1,sO2 wages which they claimed is due them, than another libel was filed by Giovannis Cesarale, an 1taf- ian for SIT wages due him. Cesarale claims in his libel that he shipped on the Cashier at Genoa, Italy. and that he signed articles before the British consul in that city which gave his pay as $oO a month, stated he would be released when he came to America. He further alleges that other members of the crew were paid off in Mobile, but that when ne asked for his wages he was assaulted and thrown into the forecastle, from which he escaped while the schooner was on the dry dock The vessel was taken in charge by a deputy federal marshal His case is very similar to that of the two Japs' who claimed that they had been forced to remain on board ship, were denleu shore leave and were not given their pay

of those who spoke for the private, the private should be paid sum equal to that paid officers Senator Smith of Georgia spoke against the Trammell amendment in behalf of the private who underwent the hardshibs of and fought the war, and his speech had much to do with the defeat of the amendment, inasmuch as it is thought he converted several of the republican senators who were understood to have been lon the fence" Senator Smith contended that the private was re- lieved of the burden incident to the increased cost of living because the government furnished him his show"
 Prominent southerners who voted for the Trammell amendment were Harris of Georgia. Harrison of Mississippi. Mex ellar of Tennessee. Ransdell of Louisiana. Sheppard of Texas, Tram mell of Florida and Underwood of Alabama. The only southerners who opposed the Trammel amendment were Smith of Georgia and Williams of Mississippi. The only other demo- crats who opposed it. were Chamber lain, King and Thomas.
 Several of the southern senators were absent. including Bankhead of Alabama and Fletcher of Florida.

DEMOCRATS VOTE FOR
 INCREASE TO PRIVATES

Washington, February 6.-(Special.) well-sustained effort on the part of leading democrats of the Senate to ap- propriate increased pay for private soldiers equal to the increase voted for commissioned officers failed.
 Senator Trammell of Florida led the fight and he was given fine assistance by Senator Harrison of Mississippi and Senator McKellar of Tennessee It was the argument of these three that the private, paid at the rate of s1 per day, and whose services were equal in glory to the service of the commissioned of ficer, should be paid an increase equal, in percentage, to the increase provided for officers. Senator McKellar ex plained that if the increase be granted it would amount to only $117 per an- mum per man.
 Senator Chamberlain, former chair- man of the military committee was facetious in his argument. He de- clared that according to the contention

 Representative Kitchin of North Caro- lima, as the House considers the second deficiency bill. takes the republicans to task whenever an item of expense piled up by these Investigating committees, Is presented for payment
 T want some information" sai1 he today. For instance. on page 1Ol4 of the hearings is a statement of the ex- penses of the subcommittee on avia- tion- The gentleman from Wisconsin, MT. Frear. is chairman of that sub committee He is an economist and could readily exNIain. But he is not here. Here is an item: G. G. Gabriel son, 14 days and hours, at s25 per day, $365.63; expenses $490.S9. I cannot understand, you know. why his ex- penses were about s1o0 more than his ss lary.
 Here is another little item On page 1915 l find O. W. Illig. 25 days at S75 per day S375: expenses S1S1. Another one: W. J. Sperl 25 days at s15 per day, S375; expenses $1So.61. Here is another for my friend Frear s subcommittee Salary. IS days, 5 hours, at s25 per day, s459.SS; expenses S512.57. Here is one for my friend Graham's subcommittee; Services, 4 days. s200: expenses S193.
 T have heard some rumors and Hon. Josephus Walsh of Massachusetts can certainly explain them, I cannot un- derstand that when my friend, MT. Walsh. went out to the Pacific coast with four other members, he paid s406i for railroad expenses, whereas my friend, Frear, who carried more people to the Pacific coast, and made the more extensive investigation, had railroad expenses of only $1401. was wondering how the gentleman from Massachusetts rode-and how the gen. tleman from Wisconsin rode. Evident ly one of them rode oh freight train and the other on a special observation caE Why such a difference in mem bers of CongressY'
 Of course, MT. Walsh was forced to make reply. He was forced to confess the select committee Investigating the United States shipping board travelled tc the Pacific coast and along the Pa cific coast in a special car, perhaps something unheard of for a congress sional committed As reason, he de- clared that prior to the trip he thought that the journey could be made as cheaply in a private car as on an ordi- nary Pullman.
 He explained that no member of the democratic party accompanied his sub- committee, and cited certain reasons. It is known. however. that they did rot go because of that private car. and the danger that it was certain to do in the elections this year.

question regarding this point. Democrats. in the beginning, admitted that waste and extravaganza had been practiced or toierated-that it was necessary in has tily preparing for war. But the commit tees have not established single case in which anyone connected with the gov ernment in position of authority has stained his hands with graft.
 It is not known as vet how much money the republican investigators have expended. It is anticipated that the sum will eventually approximate $1,o00,0OO- considered a rather handsome contribu- tion to a scheme to locate that which was known to exist, and the existence of which no one denied. In prosecuting their investigations, the committees have repeatedly gone south, north, east and west; have been accompanied by attor- neys, stenographers, experts. account ants and clerks; have in some instances. travelled in private cars, luxuriously Two of the committees made pleasant voyages to France and saw the fields of battle. They visited England. Italy, Belgium and Germany. The government paid for this party.
 Democrats are beginning to think that the republicans will hoist themselves on their own petards. The people know, it
 
 degree was necessary in time of war. But the people. it is thought probable, will not smile when reminded that they paid huge sums for junkets throughout the United States, and even to Europe; that they paid for private cars for their "servants1 to travel in the comfort which they themselves never experienced, and that they paid men s25 day with another S25 per day for expenses, to serve as ex- perts; that they paid one of the many attorneys employed /s2O,000 per annum. This attorney is Samuel T. Ansell, serv- ing the committee Investigating muni- tions. He was formerly on the stan of the judge advocate general, and attracted a deal of attention through his criticism of official courtmartials held during the war.
