SENATOR HARDING
SUPPORTSBIG NAVY
YET HE is UNDERSTOOD TO IA.
VoR DISARMAMENT OF
ALL POWERS.
ARMY WOULD BE CUT DOWN
Views of President-eIect on Word.
wide Sentiment for Abandonment
of Armament Race Given to
Chairman Butler.

Marion, OhiO.-A naval policy to
keep the United States one of the
strongest sea powers in the world I'M
til a binding disarmament agreement
can be reached was discussed at
conference here between President
elect Harding and Representative But
Ter Of Pennsylvania, chairman of the
house naval committee. Afterward
it was indicated that although a final
decision must await developments. the
present attitude of Senator Harding
pointed to a continuation during his
administration of the fleet construc-
ton program now in progress. Cou-
pied with this program, however,
would be a material curtailment in the
number of civilian employees of the
navy department and various econ
omies in the land stations under navy
jurisdiction.
Mr. Harding long has favored an
efficient navy as the first line of
American defense, and he is under
stood to feel that a big navy policy
might be continued practically if steps
are taken to curtail the strength of
the army along the lines he approved
yesterday in conference with Chair
man Kahn Of the house military COM
mittee.
He also strongly favors the reserve
system for both army and navy, and
is understood to have indicated to
Chairman Butler that an adequate
naval reserve should be considered
one of the requisites to national de-
Tense
The whole question of the navy
hinges. however, on what progress
may he found possible in the move
ment for a general reduction of ar
mament throughout the world. Mr.
Butler. who is inclined to place little
faith in the proposal. expects to de-
velop in committee hearings all the
information available on the probable
consequences of disarmament. This
information he will turn over to Mr.
Harding.
L
the committee chairman in a state
ment. what the other nations of the
world sincerely desire in the way Of
an agreement to limit armament, and
especially that of the sea-.
Mr.. Butler called Mr.. Harding's at
tention to the provision of the naval
appropriation bill of 1916, requesting
the president to make a canvass Of
world sentiment in regard TO disar-
mament. He recommended that the
new administration take advantage Of
this authorization and seek an ex-
change of international opinion quite
separate from the plan for an asso-
citation Of nations.
B. R. Inman, of Indianapolis, man
ager of the Indian Chamber Of Com
merce, presented to Senator Harding
the results of a comprehensive study
made by his organization into finan-
cial conditions generally. He advised
that there be no attempts to remedy
the situation by piecemeal measures
but that farmers. manufacturers and
all. other groups be prevailed upon to
take their share of after-war depres-
sion rather than to try each for him
self to seize whatever special protec-
ton he can.

PlGCLY-WICCLY
SUES IMITAT0RS
Company Holds Patent to Self-Mer'
chandising Idea.

Suit has been commenced in the
federal district court in Denver 70 de-
rtermine the validity and scope of the
Piggly- Wiggly patents covering the
Tself-serving merchandising theory.
More than 500 stores in various parts
: OF the country are using the self-mer-
chandising plan, and If the Piggy
Wiggly patents are upheld they will
be put out of business or compelled
90 do business on some other plan. In
addition TO this. the alleged infringers
may be compelled 20 pay TO the Piggy
Wiggly all their profits from the self
merchandising plan.
The battle to test the legality OF
patent on a plan or theory of mer-
chandising was launched by the ming
OF two suits by the Piggly-Wiggly cor
poration Of Delaware. These suits are
against M j. Baum and the Cash
Carry Mercantile company of Denver
and Morris and Max Miller Of the
Norris Groceteria of Denver. In each
suit the Pigely- Wiggly corporation
asks for $4,000 damages and for all
the profits made by the defendant con-
Germs under the self-serve plan.
II Is charged by the Piggy Wfggly
company that Baum, who formerly
lived in Jackson, Tenn and has bust
ness interests in Colorado Springs and
!, Denver. sold a self-serve merchandise
ing plan, alleged to infringe upon the
Piggy Wiggly patents, in Texas, Hill
nois and a number of other states.
Counsel for the Piggy Vriggly cor
poration claim that in 1917 Clarence
Saunders was granted a patent on the
self-serve merchandising idea and that
he transferred this patent to the Pig
gly-Wiggly. Last November the Pig
gly-wiggly was granted a new patent
Of much broader scope than the orig
inal patent.
Preparations are being made by at
torneys for the Piggy Wiggly to file
additional test suits in Chicago and in
other cities.
