warm sunshiny spring days for which
April is noted in this section. 1t was
day when the woods and the fields

CHAN, lord mayor of Cork, who, on
his arrival last week at Newport News
as stowaway and without passport,
was temporarily admitted on parole by
the labor department.
The decision, announced Monday by
Acting Secretary Davis, brought forth
the assertion by labor department Of
ficials that jurisdiction still rested
with the secretary of labor This in
dicated continuation Of the COZ trO-
versy between the two departments.
Secretary Davis said that he con-
Cured in the opinion of the solicitor
of his department, as forwarded to
him on January 10, that there was no
reason to make an exception in the
case Of O'Callaghan as regards a6mis-
sion without passport. He said he
was communicating his decision to Sec
rotary Wilson, and added the intima-
ton that his department, acting under
the wartime powers given the presi-
dent to regulate entry of aliens, might
recommend that the department of
justice be called upon to ,deport the
Irish mayor.
Labor department officials asserted
that Secretary Wilson did not recOg-
nize that the case of O'Callaghan had
vet come within the jurisdiction of the
state department, inasmuch as he had
not formally referred it to Secretary
Davis. Secretary Wilson had not be-
gun his consideration of the case,
and it was said he would not take
1t under advisement until it had come
to him through regular channels.

.FAv0RS PROGRAM
To TRIM NAv|ES
SECRETARY DANIELS ADVISES
CALLING OF CONFERENCE
FOR THAT PURPOSE.
Building Program Should Proceed,
However, and If No Agreement Can
Be Reached, United States
Should Build Greatest Navy.

WashingtOn.-The present time was
described as ripe for movement to-
ward limitation of naval ornaments
by international agreement by Secre.
tary Daniels and acting secretaries of
the state department, in testimony on
January II before the house naval af-
fairs committee.
Secretary Daniels declared that, in
his opinion, the move might properly
be made by President-elect Harding
who, he said, could "call and hold an
international disarmament conference
within two months after his Inaugural
tion."
Mr.. Harding as president, he pointed
out, would have authorization to call
such conference under the 1916 naval
appropriation act.
Secretary Davis said President vii.
son had not called such conference
because he felt such action would en-
barrass the new administration. Mr..
Wilson did not use the powers granted
him in the 1916 act after the war, Mr.
Daniels added, because he thought par
ticipatiOn by the United States in the
league of nations would result.
The committee was urged by Mr..
Daniels to authorize continuance of
work on the uncompleted part of the
1916 three-year naval building program
until an international agreement was
reached. He asserted If no such agree
ment could be obtained, the United
States should build the greatest navy
in the world

REGULATE COAL INDUSTRY.
Drastic Legislation Recommended b,
the Calder Committee.


Washington. Drastic and far
reaching legislation to bring the coal
industry under federal regulation was
recommended to the senate on Janu-
airy II by the Calder committee as a
result of its inquiry into the coal situ-
alton.
The measure. designed to prevent a
repetition of the orgy of profiteering
which sent prices to unprecedented
heights in 1920, is one of the most
radical steps ever undertaken by the
congress for the control of private
industry in times of peace.
The bill proposes, in effect, to de-
clare primarily by legislative act. that
an adequate coal supply is a national
necessity essential to public health
and welfare and to Interstate COM
merce.
Proceeding on this basis. the bill
seeks to place the entire industry un-
der the regulatory arm of the govern
ment on plane with government
regulation of the railroads. Represen-
tatives of the industry already are or
ganizing for Il bitter fight, and it is
certain to be contested as stubbOrnly
as the fight that is now waging over
regulation of the packing industry.
