SAN FRANCISCO Calif. May 15 Immediate adoption of peace treaty safeguarding rights of Ameri- can citizens and return of control of the American merchant marine to private ownership and operation were striking features of a national pro gram for foreign trade adopted to- day at the closing session of the sev enth annual foreign trade council con ventioa here. More than twenty-five hundred active leaders in foreign trade unanimously adopted the broad program urging changes in govern mental policy to enable Americans to compete with other nationals with equality in all foreign countries. The convention consisted of four days in tensive study of all problems relating to international commerce from the American standpoint and the program was a digest of needs to improve trade Among points urged were the following:
 As a collateral influence in the pro gram of expansion of exports and imports. it is important that all inter- ests of producers generally should be safeguarded and maintained on fair and equitable basis; that production should be increased to the maximum in order to restore normal conditions of employment and living.
 "We should build ships for the world markets, as well as for our own requirements. There is not a reason why American ships should not be again among the largest of our exports. Marine insurance can be best carried on bipartisan enter prise. The appropriations for the maintenance of the United States tar if commission would be increased, and it's investigation supported by congress and the business public.
 "Continued development of inland waterways is necessary to the per lection of economic trade routes.
 There should be reorganization of the foreign service of the government as will eliminate any duplication of effort. and enable it continuously to perform that effective work essential to the fullest development of our foreign trade"

FREIGHT JAM |S NATIONAL PERIL GAY MANAGERS OF ]. 5. RAILROADS
Declare Situation the, Worst Since War Time Conges-
 ton in 1917
MAKE APPEAL FOR
 EMERGENCY ACTION
Labor Troubles and Great Volume of Business Have
 Swamped Carriers

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The gov ernment was asked today to take emergency action similar to that taken when this country entered the war" to help dig the railroads out from under the worst freight conges- tion since 1917.
 A joint appeal to the interstate commerce commission by the Asso- citation of Railroad Executives declar- ed the freight jam to be such as to warrant and require" immediate use of that body's broad powers under the transportation act in checking a menace which had assumed threat ening proportions"
 The roads ask, that they be allow ed to curtail passenger service, but indicated this would be done only in extreme cases.
 While the present conditions con tinue the appeal says, the railroads should be relieved from state laws which hamper them in meeting the demands upon them.
 The railroad officials represented to the commission that there was no i'm mediate hope of obtaining ample equipment and that the yolue of com modities being offered for transpor tation permitted no time for proper repairs. The labor situation has aug mented the difficulties and does not promise immediate improvement, they said. The unauthorized strike of switchmen. the petition stated, had contributed to the growing public distress" on account of delayed movement of freight.
 There was no indication tonight as to the commissions course. It's full powers under the transportation act have not been employed as yet. Of ficials expressed a desire to go to the limit" but hinted they did not know where ;his might lead.

WASHINGTON. May 15. - Venus tiano Carranza, constitutional presi- dent of Mexico. was pictured today by Alvaro Obregon. who forced him to flee from the capital a week ago. as fugitive in the mountains some where between Mexico City and Vera Cruz.
 Official reports on the fight near San Marcos between the revolution ary forces and few loyal detach- ments of Carranza's army were lack ing, but press dispatches from Vera Cruz also told of Carranzas escape through the revolutionary lines. ap- parently setting at rest all reports of the deposed leaders surrender
 There were indications that the revOlutionist attack had not been pressed, due. it was believed. to Ob- regon's orders. Obregon had sent a messenger to CarranZa to offer him safe conduct to leave the country if he desired to surrender. and strict in junction was placed on the revolu- tionary officers not to injure the aged president if he were captured.
 Obregon's report said Carranza. ac- companied by small escort. was making for the surrounding moun- tains, but that he was being pur- sued
