Ship Sale at
Less Than War
Costs Is Urged
Committee of Business Men
Named by Benson Would
Write Off Deficit as Waste
Entailed by Hostilities
Officials Consider Move
Present Cost of Reproduc.
ton, Not Wartime Ex-
penditure, Basis of Price

From The TrsbtIre's Woshfxoton Bvrsou
WASHINGTON, May Declaring
the government should be willing to
write off as "war waste" the difference
in cost Of ship construction during the
war and now, comprehensive pro-
gram for the sale Of the government
owned merchant ships on the basis Of
present reproduction costs here and
abroad was laid before the Shipping
Board to-day by a committee Of repre-
sentative business men, headed by
Eugene Meyer jr., managing director
of the War Finance Corporation. The
committee was appointed by Rear Ad-
miral William S. Benson, chairman of
the board, at conference April Is
between the board and various Ameri-
can business interests.
The program suggested:
That the ships be sold not at the
war-time cost Of construction, but on
the basis Of present reproduction costs
here and abroad.
"TAat the prices fixed should be
stable enough to protect present pur-
chasers from future price reductions.
"That the ships be sold on the basis
Of 10 per cent cash, per cent semi
annually thereafter for three years, the
balance, of go per cent of the purchase
price, payable in twelve annual install
ments of per cent each.
Earnings Apply on Price
That during the period Of purchase,
excess earnings be applied to addi-
tional instalments Of the principal,
thus shortening the period Of purchase,
or used as regular instalments during
periods of business depression.
That interest on deferred payments
be at the rate Of per cent per annum,
with full insurance.
Protection by the Board
That the government retain title to
the ships until reasonable proper
tion of the purchase price has been
paid, with the right at any time, in
case of default, to repossess the ships.
That discount of 5 per cent be
allowed for complete payment in cash
on delivery, or a discount Of 21k per
cent If full payment is made within
five years.
Protection for Buyers
That parties making purchase con-
tracts be protected against unfair com
petition from ships operated for the
Shipping Board and still unsold.
That the board keep itself prepared
to recommend legislation that may be

with city work. If the city people de.
mand that their food supply be kent
up, they. must be willing to let the
farmers have sufficient return to nav
attractive wages. City people can agree
to this, and at the same time not nav
excessive prices for their farm prod
ucts, II they will only work with the
farmers in the establishment of CO.
operative marketing facilities that will
eliminate the middleman. The farmers
are already way ahead of the city folk
IN these cooperative ventures, and can,
in many parts of the country, deliver
their own products to the retail trader;
put until the city people organize CO.
operative purchasing agencies to take
the place of the retailer, they must ex-
pect to pay an extra toll.
The farmers are pushing this idea.
Ihey are insisting upon modification
Of the antitrust laws to permit large
cooperative ventures to operate.
"In spite Of what the city people re-
gard as high prices farming has not
been profitably operated, and because
OF this fact the boys are not staying
on the farms and the farmers cannot
pay wages to farm hands that will
keep them from the cities"
New Government Declared Needed
America is facing crisis so serious
as to necessitate an entirely different
form of government" Herbert r
Baker. president Of the Farmers Ma
tional Council, asserted in a statement
analyzing the situation.
Baker suggested that present condi-
tions require drastic treatment Of the
predatory interests who have been
mulcting the American people and have
nearly succeeded in making agricul-
ture business to be avoided like
the plague"
The return of the railroads to govern
ment operation would be required
within few months, he said, to prevent
a slump in agriculture as we'll as in
manufacture.
"The Farmers National Council pro-
gram for economic reconstruction
would save the farmers at least $4,000
00O,0 900 year and save other workers
an equal amount.
"The program calls for government
ownership of the railroads. The re-
turn of the roads to private interests
was the worst profiteering by Congress
since we entered the war We have
every reason to believe the financial
interest in control Of the railroads in
cited the rump railroad strike to at
tempt to discredit the Big Four rail
way brotherhoods and to break them
up.

US. Asked toQuash
indictment Against
Miners and Owners
Constitutionality of Lever
Act Attacked; Sections
Called imperative, Since
They Refer Only to Fuel

INDIANAPOLIS, May 7.-Motions tc
quash the indictments against 1875 BIZ
luminous coal miners and operators of
Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania were flied in the Federal court
here this afternoon by Charles Evans
Hughes, chief counsel for the indicted
miners, and Samuel D. Miller and
James A. Bingham, Of counsel for
the operators.
The motions attack the constitutions
ality of the sections of the Lever food
control act on which the indictments are
based, and assert these sections are
imperative, since they relate to the
fuel industry.
Sections 4, 9 and 26 and the amend
ment to Section 4 Of the Lever act, both
the miners counsel and the operators
lawyers asserted. are in contradiction
Of the Fifth Amendment to the Consti-
tuition in that they deprive persons of
their liberty and property without due
process Of law, and of the Sixth Amend
ment, IN that they cause criminal pros
ecution without informing the accused
against them. It was also asserted
that the indictments are defective and
insufficient.
The greater part Of the session was
taken up with arguments on the plea
in a statement, which dealt with the
technical rights of trial judges in their
instructions to juries. Later Dan w.
Simms, special United States District
Attorney, was placed on the witness
stand and questioned by Mr.. Hughes
as to the manner in which the special
grand jury that investigated the coal
situation last winter had been informed
concerning the error regarding the
statement attributed to John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers
Of America. by a member of Congress.
The motion to quash the indictments
was then introduced and argument
begun by Mr.. Hughes. The plea in
abatement was overruled by Judge An
derson. The trial will be resumed to-
morrow at 10 a. m.

VALLEY LOSES TWO
TO CAND0 TEAM

Valley City took their second tum-

day on the Cando diamond, when they
lost to them by the score of 3 to l.
This was the last of a three game SER
les which Valley City played with that
team. Cando won two and lost one.
They won the first game, played last
Friday, by the score Of 5 tod. They
lost their balance in the second game
and were defeated by the score Of 2
to 0, but came back yesterday scor-
ing their second victory. These vic
tories would indicate that Cando has
team that can play baseball, since
Valley City has not gone down to de-
feat in this manner before, and have
at least won two out of three in nearly
all the games played. The Valley
City team will be back again today,
and the management has no doubt got
line up of games for this week here
on the home diamond. The schedule
will be announced soon if they have.
Several of the teams around the
country are breaking up, so that the
schedule announced last week which,
the team would follow, was slightly
out of order. Valley City was sup
posed to meet Brinsmade last week
on their field but the team broke up
so the game was called off. 1t is re-
ported, however, that Cando is due
to play return games here in the near
future. Devils Lake was also billed
for the middle of this week.
