Request Of Secretary Daniels to

Washington, Dec. 14.-(United
Press.)-The request Of Secretary
Daniels that congress authorize
another three-year naval building
program if the United States does
not enter a league Of nations will
be refused by the house naval af-
fairs committee, a canvass of com
mittee members today showed.
The committee is virtually unani-
nous against the suggestion OF DAN
iels, who appeared before it today
to outline the reasons for his re-
quest for a construction program
calling for So ships.
The 1916 program, according to
Chairman Butler and other commit
teemen, upon its completion. which
probably will be by Jan. l, 1924,
will make the United States the
greatest naval power In the world,
even allowing for some uncontem-
plated additional construction by
Great Britain.
"The completion of the present
building program will give the
United States supremacy OF 81
Der cent over Great Britain in first

and battle cruisers" said Represen-

RAILWAY RATE
CASES HEARD
Interstate Commerce Commission
Continues Hearing Of Argu.
ments Advanced by States.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Inter-
state Commerce Commission con-
tinued its hearings today in the
cases Of the seven states whose
railway commissions have refused
to advance freight and passenger
rates within their states to level
with interstate rate increases
recently granted. The case of
Florida and Nebraska were first
on the list today and after argyll
ments in these are completed those
of Indiana, Ohio and Michigan will
be heard. Representatives Of the
carriers and the state were heard
yesterday in the Utah and Illinois
appeals.
In their arguments the railroads
claimed that failure of the state
commissions to increase intra-
state rates to correspond with
interstate rates has caused them
heavy loss. The states, on the other
hand, urged that increased state
rates were not justified and would
be a burden on the public.
