SHIPPING BOARD TO
PROBE RAIL Rates
(Rv Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6-Investiga-
ton into the advisability of permitting
railroads to grant preferential rates on
commodities carried to parts for ship
ment in American vessels was begun
today by the shipping board. Hear
ings beginning today will be conducted
hy the full board recently named by
President Wilson under the Jones act
and representatives of steamship lines,
shippers and railroads will discuss the
situation.
Last summer the interstate COM
merce commission suspended until
January / the operation of the prefer
ential rail rate section of the Jones
act upon the recommendation of the
shipping board in order that a survey
could be made OF the American ship
pins in the ports Of the country.
According to officials of the board
the survey showed sufficient shipping
available in a number of ports and
Chairman Benson has announced that
the board will probably recommend
Immediately that the interstate COM
merce commission make the prefer

to the chairman preferential rail rates
are necessary if the American mer-
chant marine is to compete on the
same footing with foreign shipping
lines.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S
APPEARANCE TUESDAY
IS STILL IN DOUBT

WASHINGTON, Dec. G. President
Wilson did not indicate today to the
congressional committee whether he
should address congress tomorrow per
sonally. He simply told the commit
tee which came to inform him con-
gress was in session that he would
communicate with congress-"
The president received the congress
sional committee standing in the Blue
room. Former Speaker Champ Clark
said the president walked into the
room "briskly" but with a cane.
The impression taken away from the
White House by the five members of
the committee, Senators Lodge and
Underwood and Representatives Mon
dell Fordney and Clark, was that the
president would not address congress
in person. but would send his message
to be read.
Members of the committee said that
the president carried his cane in his
right hand and held his left hand
against his chest, while he saw the
committee. One of the visitors said
the executives voice was hollow and
low" and that the committee members
had difficulty in catching the few
words he uttered.

have been discounted through
Federal reserve banks, that an embar-
go be placed against imports of agr-
cultural products similar to those
raised in the United States, and that
legislation be passed "as may be eX-
redient to bring about active trade
relations with the central as we'll as

GERMAN AGREEMENT
IS URGED TO POLAND

WARSAW, Dec. 6.-Poland's only
salvation from the present depression
arising from her economic situation
is a commercial agreement with Ger
many, says a memorial presented the
Polish cabinet by Nicholas Grabski
who recently resigned as minister OF
finance. In this statement, which has
caused a sensation, Grabski contends
that until such an understanding is
effected Poland cannot begin prop
erly her reconstruction program.
AS Grabski is leader of the National
Democratic party, the platform OF
which has always been anti-German
the memorial has attracted all the
more attention. Some newspapers
sympathize with his view. emphasiZ
ing the necessity for the conclusion
of commercial treaty with Germany
in the near future and disregard of
political and territorial controversies.

City Attorney Keller asked if Mr..

company and might be influenced in
that particular. Mr.. SHELDON said his
bid for turbine. condenser and switch
board was S157,400. He said he had
not analyzed the Westinghouse bid,
but admitted scanning the bid.
Mr.. Keller brought out that the
city's specifications governed the con-
tract, and if they entered into a con-
tract with the city they would be he'd
by it.
He said prices had gone up 10 per
cent since last May and June, asked
if a Mr.. Davies had talked to James
Dillon and told Mr. Dillon: The
manufacturers can do nothing but that
can be taken care of in other ways

Lyons said he was trying to conform
