For Economy Survey
Congressional Conferences to

Begin Within Week
From The Trib,me's Washinpto Blu,

from INe IriOitne'S WdShtn Qton bureau
WASHINGTON, July 31.-Congress
and Director of the Budget Dawes
have arranged to have their first real
get together on the business of cutting
down the cost of government. The
new chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations of the House, Repre-
sentative Martin v. Madden, of I'LL
nois, announced to-day that he will
meet General Dawes in series of con-
ferences which will be sort of gen
eral survey of the whole range of
Federal expenses.
The conferences probably will begin
within a week. Every branch of the
governments organization will be
taken up separately and, without going
at first too deeply into details, the two
expect to chart out the rock bottom
cost at which the government may
function with the highest degree of
efficiency.
Like his predecessor, former Chair
man James Good, of Iowa, Chairman
Madden believes that with the aid of
Director Dawes the government budget
system can be made to save probably
hundreds of millions of dollars.
Mr.. Madden also said to-day that
the committee will probably be ready
to make favorable report on the de-
fciency appropriation of S125,0O0,0O
asked by Chai Lasker before the

Reported Representative at
London Has Been Instruct
ed TO Demand Full Rights
for All American Craft
Conference Tomorrow
Retaliatory Measures May
Be Taken if Fair Treat
ment Is Not Guaranteed

WASHINGTON, July 81 Whipping
Board representatives will confer with
British ship owners in London Tues
day IN an effort to obtain what the
board regards as far treatment fer
American merchant vessels in the
award of trade privileges in foreign
ports. In making this announcement
to-day the board sald Captain Ferris,
the district manager at London, had
been instructed to make strong repre-
sensations particularly against alleged
discrimination in the awarding of con-
tracts for carrying Egyptian cotton to
British and american ports.
1t was considered probable, however
that the conference would have a still
broader aspect, and that the board
would insist that its vessels have equal
footing with British ships in the
awarding of contracts for the trans
port of all classes of freight.
The board is understood to have COM
planned to British shipping lines that
American vessels had been denied car
goes Of Egyptian cotton, although in
many instances their bids were lower
than those of British ships which got
the contracts. Captain Ferris is under
stood. to have instructions not only to
protest against such discrimination, but
to insist that half of both the direct
and indirect cotton shipments be car
ried in American bottoms.
In negotiating with British shipping
interests, officials here say, the board
probably will take the position that if
it's vessels are not assured fair treat
ment it may be deemed advisable to in
yoke retaliatory measures as provided
for by the merchant marine act
Chairman Lasker has discussed with
Eugene Never. director of the War Fl
nance Corporation, the providing Of
additional tonnage for American ships.
Mr.. Lasker was said to have urged that
the Finance Corporation, in advancing
funds for export of American goods,
stipulate that they be shipped in Ameri-
can vessels.

Cholera S,oeeps Through
Filth-Infected Russia
Plague Borne Onscard With
Fleeing Hordes, and People
Cross Themselves IN Terror

RIGA, Latvia. July 81 [By The Asso-
ciated Press) The task of fighting
the present serious cholera epidemic
in Soviet Russia is magnifed in ITS
difficulties by the terrible sanitary
state existing virtually throughout the
country, says DR.. N. Semashko, Com
missar of Public Health of the Soviet
government, writing in the Moscow
lzvestia.
Dirt in the towns is such that even
in dry weather persons who are for
tunate enough to have overshoes walk
in the streets in them; sewerage and
water supplies are in terrible disre-
pair" DR.. Semashko writes:
Added to this, says the doctor, is the
"mass migration, as if it had been
maliciously planned, distributing the
infection from one place to another
for thousands and tens of thousands
of versts. The starving popula tion of
the Volga is moving to the south as
an avalanche, sowing on it's way i'll
lection and death.
"The cholera has already developed
into big epidemiS IN the Rostof, Volga,
Voronesh and Orel governments. Scat
tered outbreaks have been discovered in
the most widespread localities of the
republic.
In the Volga appears already the
specter of the cholera and famine years
of 1922. Those who lived through
those years, not to speak Of those who
participated in the fighting against the
epidemics, feel their blood grow ice
cold in their veins at the memory of it..
At present every one begins to cross
himself"
DR.. Semashxo says one of the princi-
pal difficulties facing the campaigners
against cholera is the uncontrolled
horde of travellers riding everywhere,
inside and outside, on the roofs, under
the. platforms and clinging to every
inch of the trains Throughout Russia.
He advocates stationing armed "vacci-
nation squads" at every railway station
to vaccinate every traveller and permit
none to go onward without certificate
that lie has undergone this process
"As far back as February" he writes,
eve predicted this epidemic and
mapped out plan of preventive
measures. In the spring we proclaimed
a water supply week and cleaning
week, giving detailed instructions for
carrying out the work. And what have
VIC now? Where were the local respon-
sible authorities at that time? Of
course, better late than never"
General compulsory vaccination.
quarantine of infected districts and
immediate mobilization OF sanitary per-
sonnet have been ordered. Repairs of
of sewerage systems are being rushed
and workmen have been appealed to to
consider the Cholera front" an actual
war front.

Socialists SO consistently that more
than Ave hundred persons have been
killed and several thousands wounded
IN their combats. 1t was the Fascist
also who. with clubs, compelled Italian
profiteers to reduce their prices. 1t
was they who routed Communist mu-
nicipal officials, burned Socialist meet
ing places and preached patriotism in
stead of Bolshcvism throughout the
radical districts of Italy.
This warfare was not checked bv the
ltalIan government authorities during
Glolitti's premiership. In few in
stances carabinieri interfcred in clashes
between the Fascist and Socialists in
order to defend bystanders. But it
was not until Premier Bonomi took
office, two months ago, that steps
toward peace were taken The new
Premier announced his determination
to end the class warfare at any cost.
10 this end, he said, all Italians would
be disarmed, if necessary, to preserve
order.
Politically the Fascist movement
Played an Important part in the ma
tional elections in May. Not only did
these extreme Nationalists succeed in
returning twenty-five of their own
number to Parliament---a feat for anv
new political party-but they split the
Socialist party and made an enormous
cut IN the number Of Socialist Deputies
returned.
The name Fascist is derived from
"fasces," the bundle of rods borne hv
the hctors of classic Rome.

Nine Lawyers to Deny
Baseball Plot To-day
Defense Arguments to Consume
len Hours; Case Expected to

CHICAGO, July 31.-Ten hours of
oratory, in which nine lawyers will
strive to convince the jury that there
was no conspiracy for Chicago white
Sox players to throw the 1919 world
series, is scheduled for tomorrow in
the baseball trial.
The defense expects to have made
its last plea before court adjourns to-
morrow, leaving the way open for the
state to close Tuesday ard send the
case to the jury.
Henry Berger, representing Carl
Fork, of st. Louis, is expected to open
for the defense. Judge Friend al
ready hes announced that he will not
sustain a verdict of guilty against
Fork, and Mr.. Berger is expected to
confine most of his talk to the techni-
calities of conspiracy laws. He will be
assisted in this part of the argument
by Michael Ahern. Thomas Nash, rep
resenting Felsch, Weaver and Risberg,
will deal largely with Risberg's case,
virtually no evidence having been pre-
sented against the other two, and his
address Is expected to be short.
James c. O'Brien, representing Gan
dill, and Ben Short, representing CT
cote, Williams and Jackson, expect to
take up most of the time for the de-
Tense.
