There was no negative vote.
 The organization voting favored the proposal to sell the steel merchant ships heavier than 5000 tonnage to re- gional associations for transfer to pr1- vayte individuals and corporations o1 the several regions.

ARE SEEKING TO TRADE WITH

Forty-five American Firms to Try Pressure on Our
 Government.

Washington, Jan 25 - Plans are being perfected under a movement launched dn the conference of busi- ness firms held in Washington yester- day to demand a show down by the State Department in the matter of the initiation of American trade with the Russian Soviet government.
 The conference, which was held at the Raleigh Hotel, was attended by a group of 46 representatives of Ameri- can business firms in various parts of the country for the purpose of devis- dng ways and means for bringing pressure to bear to the end that pres ent restrictions may be lifted against trade between the Bolshevist govern ment, the Russian people and Anner1- can interests desirous of engaging in such trade.
 The conference formed a new or ganization to be known as the Ameri- can Commercial Association to Pro- mote Russian Trade. decided to ap- point a temporary executive commit tee of fifteen, appointed committee of five, which will seek a conference with Secretary of State Lansing to- morrow, and issued call for @ larger conference of American export, in- port and financial interests to be held in New York on Monday, Feb. 2, at the Astor or Knickerbocker Hotel

FEW DRUGGISTS
 TAKE LICENSE
Red Tape of Volstead Act Causes Few to Apply Vast Stores Here Un-
 der Seizure.

Of more than 1,700 retail drug gists in New York, up to last night only 52 had made application to the Collector of Internal Revenue to sell liquor for medicinal purposes. These applications have been granted.
 Much red tape is attached to such applications under the Volstead act, and it is said druggists do not care to be bothered with such details, which heretofore were unnecessary.
 In view of the fact that whiskey enters into many prescriptions for the treatment of influenza, it can be readily seen that such a supply for medicinal purposes could not be ob- tained at drug stores in this city in an epidemic.
 There is in this city more than $10,000, 900 worth of liquor which has been seized by government agents. It is in warehouses and could be used in an emergency, if the governm ent officials would consent,

O0LIDCE WILL. NOT ENDEAv0R TO
 GET DELEGATES
Governor Declares the
 Curse of the Present Is ; Graspll.g for Power.

Boston, Jan. Ex-Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts declared yesterday that he was not and never had been a candidate for President, and that he would not enter a contest for the Mas sachusetts delegation to the Repubi- can National Convention. He did not say that he would oppose the presenta- ton of his name at Chicago, but was emphatic in his assertion that he would not permit the in1putation that he had used the office of Governor to promote his own interests through the selection of delegates.
 In a formal staten ent for the press Governor Coolidge said that the curse of the present was ''the almost uni versal grasging for power" He was not insensIble to the honor sought for him by others, but the efforts of his friends did not contemplate a contest for delegates in his own State. In asmuch as some Massachusetts peo- ple" intended to make one, the ques-
 ton arose whether he ought to permit a. contest in his name. He answered the question in the negative.

STATEMENT OF TRADE HOUSES
 MUCH FEELING
Claim Made British Would Supplement U. S. In
 Trade.

Buenos Aires, Sunday, Jan. 25- Statements by Lord Ashf1eld of South we'll, president of the British. Board of Trade, that the British were "go- ing to supp1ant the United States in the market she won in South America during the war; which were recently cab1ed to Argentina, have aroused considerable feeling among Ameri- cans here. Lord Ashf1e1d's dec1ara- tions have been given wide publicity here by a British advertising agency, and, speaking last night at the first annual banquet of the United States Chamber of Commerce in Argentina, William H. Robertson, American con- su1 general here, took exception to them as being what he described as hostile propaganda"
 ''The amount of our Latin Ameri- can and Argentine trade we hold af- ter the war; he said, twill depend exactly, as always, upon the efficiency of our manufacturers and the skill of our salesmen''-in other words, considerations of price and quality. With an enormously valuable home market, the United States has up to the present made virtually no con certed effort to secure Latin Ameri- cam trade. Our goods sold themselves on their merits alone, in spite of all the hostile propaganda used against us by our rivals. I think the presi- dent of the British board of trade will find himself mistaken in his re- cent alleged utterance, that more ex- 1 perfenced methods in trading, senti- mental relations and British quality are going to supplant us soon with our Latin American friends"
 MT. Robertson cited statistics to show 1t was a nisconception that European nations like Great Britain any Germany had in the past outsold the United States in South America, ; and to demonstrate that the increase United States during the war was merely an enlargement of old, long established business. He said this was contrary to the impressions that the United States had taken her op- portunity to step in while European nations were engaged in the war and take away the profits of their busi- ness.
 The simple fact is," that "the United States has not been outsoId in | the past and has little cause for worry as to what Europeans are going to take away from her in future.' l Protesting against the habit at- trfbuted to some Americans in refer ring to American importers and man. ufacturers dealing in South America as "dishonest'' MT.

Many Changes In Philadelphia
 City Government

Philadelphia, Jan. 26. = Many changes in the city government, be- came effective with the induction into office of Mayor J. Hampton Moore. They were authorized at the last ses- sion of the legislature.
 The legislature authority passes in to the hands of twenty-one council men, organized into 8 single body, each member being paid $5,000 a year. This Council takes the place of the old two-cfambered Council of un- salaried members.
 Holding of more than one salaried office by one man is absolutely pro- hibited.
 All city employees are required to cease political activity. They are for hidden to solicit or pay political as- sessments, voluntarily or involun- tarily.
 The city has acquired the power to do it's own paving, repairing an6 cleaning of streets, collecting of ashes garbage, waste and rubbish and dis posing thereof. This is not com pulsory, however, as 1t still may b; done by contract.
 Mayor Moore for years represented a Philadelphia district in Congress Elected on a reform ticket, he ha: promised to revolutionize methods and do away with the old ftgang. Already he has shaken up the DO lice and served notice upon thieves l pedlars of habit forming drugs bookmakers, gamblers and the under world generally that they must ge 1 out of the city.
