WAR FINANCE
BOARD REVIVED
House Passes Senate
Resolution After
Striking Out One
Section

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The senate
resolution to revive the war finance
corporation as a measure OF relief
for farmers was adopted by the house
late today in amended form and by
vote OF PIP to 61. 1t now goes TO
conference for adjustment with the
senate measure.
The house struck out Section 2 OF
the senate resolutions stating the
opinion of congress that federal re-
serve banks should allow liberal cred
its TO farmers. The vote was 1872 in
favor to 20 against on the motion TO
strike out.
The final vote came after five hours
Of debate.
Chairman McFadden of the bank
ing committee characterized it as
class bank legislation which would
lead to imitation.
THE farmers have been deceived"
Mr.. McFadden said. they have been
told this resolution will help them.
No advance to farmers has been made
by the corporation for more than
year and could not be authorized un-

Representative Stevenson, Demo

measure was class legislation.
THE banks have gone the limit"

credits further. We must do it by

been IN progress since last July, pre-
SentS, under military occupation, an
appearance similar to that of many
another town during the war.
maxi, fast becoming a novelty in
most places, is so common in the
Williamson district that miners and
mountainecrs no longer turn to look
at the passing soldier or stand to gaze
on the sentry before Colonel Herman
HaliS headquarters in the county
court house. Here in Williamson.
Wncre there has been no violence,
The soldier carries his bayonet at his

Military occupation and modified
martial law, made necessary by the
disorders Of the past lew months
have little effect on Williamson. The
people go about their ordinary tasks
as Usual, viewing the soldiers with
indifference, except at guard mount
which never fails TO attract an ap-
preciative audience, willing and anx-
lous to express its approval OF the
nations fighting men.
Mercantile and banking interests
unite in the expression that the use
OF federal troops at this time is a
mighty good thing, ii for no other rea-
son than that they give a sense Of
security for every side OF the indus
trial controversy.
Immediately upon their arrival,
the provisional battalion from Camp
sherman took up the task of clean
ing the city of its physical and NOR
~ defects. First they gave the court
house a thorough overhauling, and
then turned thcir attention to the
buildings taken over for Quarters.
Then they went after the streets. and
about the same time took UP the NOR
al question. Undesirables were noti-
aed that they could no longer re-
nam in the city, both tasks being
cone directly by the civil authorities
but under the. directing eye OF the
3Cldicrs.
