LABOR FEARFUL OF FRIGHTENING BILL
May Be Turned Against Work CTS, Says Gompers in Tes-
 timony Before Committee
By Associated Press

Washington, February 9.Organizsd labor is ''apprehenslve' lest the price. fixing powers proposed in the Calder coal regulation bill be directed against organizations of workers. Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor. declared today in testifying before the Senate commit~ tee considering the measure
 T am influenced largely in my judgment upon this matter by the in- depreciation which the courts have placed upon similar regulatiye stat utes in the past" MT Gompers said. Laws designed to prevent combina- tions in industry have been applied to limit the activities of workers seek ing to promote their individual rights by collective action.
 Labor, or at least that section of labor which has intelligence enough h to unite in it's own interest, is appre- hensive about this species of Iegisia- ton. Experience has made us so."

Washington, February S.--A substitute for the House immigration bill designed to restrict rigidly immigration from Eu- quo the treaty and agreements affecting admissibles from any of the affected well as the existing regulation between the Americas, was taken up today by the Senate immigration committee.
 ? Previously, the committee had voted. five to four. to reject the House bill, under which Europeans and Asiatics alike would have been excluded for one year.
 The committee probably will approve the substitute tomorrow after minor amendments and report it to the Sen ate
 several sections of the measure. how ever, were still in dispute tonight. One of these was that fixing the number of admissables from any of the affected countries at per cent of their citizens already residing in the United States. Scme committee members who voted ir favor of the House bill, declared the percentage has been reduced to 1, or :; per cent and announced they would seek to amend 1t in that manner when 1t uas taken up in the Senate.
 The section affecting AGiatics also was opposed by several committee members who contended that its language wat loose in construction. They said the sec ton should De more precisely stated. particularly that part referring to ex- emptions allowed aliens coming from countries. immigration from which Is now regulated in accordance with treat- ies or agreements.

POL|CEWOMEN OF ATLANTA TESTIFY
 IN ANSLEY CASE
Say Young Women Drank, Smoked and Shimmied at Boisterous Party Which
 Men Cops Ignored
By Associated i.ress

Atlanta. February Exchanges that bell boys sold liquor at $25 a quart, that gaming was protected by. the manage ment and that airily clad young women at times were seen in the corridors were made in city criminal court here today in the trial of c. A. Creighton, manager of the Ansley hotel. one of Atlanta s largest downtown hostelries.
 While the testimony was to the effe t that such actions had been permitted at other times, the prosecution centered much of it's attack on New Years party at the hotel which witnesses described as terribly disorderly."
 Young women who drank liquor and men who. drank more liquor were the central figures. according to Mrs. W. w. Evans. policewoman, who said she was an eyewitness. There was cigarette smoking by women, ''shimmy' and "cheek dances and open embracing by couples, she said Mrs J. c. Davis, an other policewoman, declared certain po- licemen there said such celebrations were to be expected on New Years Eve and would not aid in breaking up the party.
 Mrs. l.. Bridges, formerly an assistant housekeeper at the hotel. made the charges about conditions on other oc- casions. She also declared that on one occasion after "knock-down and drag out affair in one room the walls were covered with blood" On cross-examina- tion she admitted Creighton had dis- charged her recently, but declared she did not know why.
 Many various statements as to the at- fair had been made, but the testimony regarding it did not come out until to- day during Manager Creighton's trial on charges of permitting liquor to be in the hotel and of running a ''disorderiy house."
 The first charge against the manager was quashed on demurrer. but Judge Andrew Calhoun ruled that the jury should decide on the second charge.
 Other witnesses testified as to alleged disorder, but there were others, incluu- ing William Zinmer, manager of an other hotel, who testified for Creighton Zimmer declared Creighton had been ac- tive in efforts to prevent such violations of the law.
 The trial will continue tomorrow.

COMMITTEE URGES
 ANAMER|CAN NAVY
 EQUAL ID BIGGEST
Neither Practical Nor Sound to Suspend Construction, Says Report Filed in
 Senate
By Associated Press

Washington, February 9.--An American navy 'at least equal to that of any other power is advocated in a report of the Senate naval committee. filed today in the Senate.
 The committee, replying to the Borah resolution, said Tt is not practical. and is not sound policy to suspend naval construction for period of six months, nor at all.n It urged completion of tho great isls naval programme. except that two huge naval aircraft carriers Dc built in place of 12 destroyers and six submarines, which have been authorized but not yet contracted for.
 Capital ships remain the principal units of sea power, the committee said. adding that submarines and aircraft were as yet only auxiliary forces.
 The committee report. to which Sena- tor King, democrat, Utah. plans to file desire that an agreement for limitation for naval armament might be reached among the nations, but said that until some such arrangement were made the United States should continue it's building programme.
 MUST EQUAL GREATEST
 "In view of the importance of sea pow CT to the United States the commit- tee informed the Senate, and the fact that without it we would be at the mercy of other nations, 1t is the opinion of your committee that this country should maintain navy at least equal to thas of ahy other power. The lessons of his- tory teach us with indisputable truth that we cannot afford to depend for the maintenance of our rights and the de- ferse of the lives and commerce of our citizens upon the mercy, generosity or goodwill of other powers with rival or |conflicting interests and ambitions
 Ut is the opinion of this committee, I the report continued, that the United States should have under it's control a sufficient force to protect and preserve its material possessions, the policies it has established the lives and rights of It's citizens and the principles upon which it's government is founded.
 For these reasons we arc of the opinion that there should be no suspen- sion of the present building programme of the navy. which. as at present laid out. Is. at the most. only designed to place us on q footing of equality with any other power upon the seas.' SUMMARY APPROVED The report suppressed approval and in- dorsement of the navy general board summary of the situation leading to the conclusion that the capital ship remains the strongest naval unit It recommend cd, however. scientific study and develop ment of the submarine, aircraft and hisA explosives.
 A naval power armed with these de- vices. but lacking battleships and battle cruisers, opposed to q rival power wfth alI alxi1farfes and also heavy ships, report said.
 "The rival forces of light craft.' 1t said, whether on or below the surface or in the air, would neutralize each other. leaving the power which possessed heavy ships. armed with great guns. in undisputed control of of the sea- z
