NEW YORK, May 17.-RepeaI of the excess profits law, enactment of a na- tional bankruptcy act, establishment of q system of general industrial educa- tion and voluntary curtailment by in dividuals in consumptions and expendi- lures to eliminate the need for govern mental loans, are urged in reports pre- scented by committees today at the twenty fifth annual convention of the National Manufacturers association. They will be acted on this week by the convention, which is attended by more than 1000 deelgates.
 The platform committee announced it would be ready to submit it's com pIeted industrial platform tomorrow night Upon it's approval copies will be sent to the dominant political party conventions.
 In asking for the repeal of the ex- cess profits tax, the taxation commit tee suggested a satisfactory substitute be found
 The report declared "a carefully de- vised gross sales tax" might meet the situation, but suggested that the '.most reasonable form would be limited tax on turnovers Of wares, goods and mer- chandise." A gross sales tax. it was pointed out, would produce an annual revenue ranging from S. 900. 000,00O to $6, 6,000,000.000. The committee asserted the present tax discourages new ven lures and confirms old ventures in their monopolies

MANAGERS FAVOR HIGHER WAGE TO RAIL EMPL DYES
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

CHICAGO. May 17-The opening statement of the employers side of the railroad wage question was presented today bfeore the United States rail way labor board, which opened hear ings in Chicago, following q recent two weeks session in Washington at which representatives of railroad en- ployes were heard
 F. T. Winter. chairman of the con ference committee of the railroad managers. read a prepared statement in which he said that wage advances should be granted to many railroad workers to enable them to meet the high cost of living.
 I've are here" NTr. Winter said. "in good faith to assist your board to grapple understandingly with the vast and complex problem that has been presented to you"
 According to Winter total demands of the rail employees, including new demands of approximately 25 per cent would, if granted by the labor board, not only absorb the revenues expected from the increase in freight rates asked of the interstate commerce commission, but would force the carriers to ask for additional rate increases.
 He pointed out on behalf of the rail executives that each $100, 900. 900 in crease in rail expenses represented a three per cent increase in freight rates. He said that for every cent an hour llttiedsSe III wages to fta1l enDIOyGS, s500oo.oo0 was added to railroad pay rolls.
 The increase in employees in 1919 over those of 1915. he said, was ell. 300 or nearly 45 per cent. The railroad payroll increased $1,6O9, ,334,0 or 141.9 per cent.
 Our statement shows" he said that in 1915 the pay-rolls were 3951 per cent of the gross earnings while in 1919 the percentage was 53.66 per cent showing that labor received ap- proximately II per cent more of the gross earnings than in 1915.
 We appreciate fully that the in crease received by some employees in the last five years have not been com mensurate with the increases in the cost of living and that due consfdera- ton of this fact must be given by the board

SIMS SOUGHT TO ]. ]. NAVY IS CLAIM
IRepublioan A. P. Leased WireI


 WASHINGTON, May 17-Desire ito Prussianize the navy department" was aScribed by Secretary Daniels today as one of Rear Admiral Sims underlying motives in criticising the departments conduct of the war The secretary, testifyihg before the senate naval in- vestigating committee. also charged most of the testimony supporting Ad- miral Sims opposition was from offi cers who wished to remove civilian control of the department and make the secretary a rubber stamp"
 The original charge showed hos tility to certain officers and a desire to damage the ranking officers who di- rected the operations daring the war, - said MT. Daniels, speaking of Admiral Sims critical letter of January 12. and the evidence has disclosed a de- sire to misrepresent the secretary of the navy because he was not a rubber stamp secretary. But deeper than egotism and prejudice, you will find deep seated determination to organize the navy department upon the ab- proved Prussian plan by giving all power to the military and taking all away from the civilian
 Mir. Daniels said if the committee desired to raise the general staff issue he was willing to go to the country with it. If congress approves the plan. he declared, it should create a general staff on the German model and name some von Tirpitz to rule the navy make an admiral secretary and mem ber of the cabinet and civilians incl igible for the post but should not ''put some Sims in control of the navy with a nominal civilian secretary as his clerk. messenger and rubber stamp.
 Most of those who advocate this radical departure seek to camouflage their Prussian ideas" he said. "Thev say they do favor a civilian secretary and have no thought of a naval officer for secretary What they desire is a civilian rubber stamp secretary with no power except to draw his salary and sign here when the military chiefs tell him where to affix his name"
 AIr Daniels asserted that all recent secretaries had been confronted with q struggle to keep the navy under civilian control and quoted former Secretaries SVeIIes. Long and Meyer and former Assistant Secretary Darf- ing to show the strenuous efforts they found necessary to put forth 10 keep authority in the hands Of the civilian secretary.

 RAIL GATEWAYS
Wheels Put In Motion to Relieve Most Serious Freight Congestion In Years-Crisis Will Test New Transportation Act, Say Experts
IRepubIIean A. ?. Leased wlre1

WASHINGTON, May 17-The inter- state commerce commission took it's first step today toward breaking the freight blockade.
 Photographic appeals were sent to all state railway and public service com- missions, urging them to join with the government in lifting the burden, while the commissions inspectors were nut to work to help get accurate data on conditions.
 Virtually all the several hundred in spectors were assigned to aid in sur veying traffic conditions at important gateways where the flow of freight traffic was clogged. The commission also expected to be fully informed on the terminal situation by tomorrow night
 Tieup To Test New Act
 Members of the commission recog- nized that the crisis would provide a real test fot the new transportation act and likewise that the emergency clauses must measure up to the claims of their staunchest supporters if freight is again set to moving smoothly.
 With increasing complaints from shippers and requests for assistance from railroads, the commission is un- derstood to have determined to go into the freight tieup with hammer and tongs. Officials, however, urged pa-
 
 diate results since it may require days, and even weeks, to start anything like a resumption of normal transportation.
 In it's first attempts, the commission probably will deal with local situations through individual roads. This was expected to last. however, only untr a general scheme can be worked out by which priorities and embargoes can be employed
 Fuel Situation at Danger Point
 Further suggestions of the roads were given the commission at confer ences with representatives of the rail- roads and shippers organization off ciais. The fuel situation has slowly developed to the danger point, repre- sentatives said. and they proposed that the commission establish a general, af- though counter movement of coal cars eastward
 The commission. in a statement said it was keeping in touch with the situation through its own representa- roads. The American Railway Car Service has turned over to the com mission it's figures on the car supply
 ''IR the last few days.'' tfa@ statement continued. complaints and requests for assistance have been received from shipping interests. These have been handled immediately with the carriers and in many instances the inspectors of the commission have been employed upon the ground to help break the jam at some congested points.
 Many requests have been received for information as to whether the com mission contemp1ates hearings upon the application filed by important rail- roads last Saturday, asking the com mission to exercise it's emergency powers under the transportation act. The commission does not contemplate the holdings of any hearings in the near future but it expects to give some directions as seem warranted and necessary"
