Challenge to Women

WASHINGTON, Aug 49, Miss
Alice Robertson, Oklahoma. the only
woman in Congress, today challenged
leaders of various 'womens organi-
cations to name woman qualified to
become one OF the American delegates

the plan Of putting a woman on the
delegation. and her statement was in
reply to sharp criticism by the Ma

In view OF rather definite assurances
that the American commission would be
composed Of Secretary Of State Hughes
Senators Lodge, Knox and Underwood,

HOUSE TO ALLOW
new DC. SCHOOLS,
HARRISON THINKS
Says Fund for s Buildings
May Find Place in
Deficiency Bill.

An item providing an appropria-
ton for the erection of eight new
school buildings in the District will
probably be included in the de-
ficiency bill which will be made up
by the House Appropriations Com
mfttee the latter part of this month,
is the belief of Senator Pat Harri-
son, of Mississippi, who addressed
the Mems Club of the Mt. Pleasant
Congregational Church Monday
night,
81 believe that the Appropriations
Committee is heartily in favor of
the school construction program
outlined by the District Board OF
Education and Commissioners"
said Senator Harrison. and when
the deficiency bill is made up be-
lieve that the appropriation for the
eight buildings will be included"
The regular District appropriation
bill carried an appropriation for the
purchase of ten sites for school
buildings and another for the erec-
tion of eight new buildings. These
items remained in the bill until the
last minute, when it was testified
before the committee that contrac-
tors in Washington were charging
exhorbitant prices for construction
work. As a result they were blue
penciled.

SEES BANKRUPTCY
AS SOLUTION TO
v. R. E. PROBLEM
Reclamation Counselors
Alse Attacks Legality
Of Fare Raise.

Weaving into the presentation OF
yoluminous collection of data the
history Of the District utilities com
panies from their inception in 1885,
to December 81, 1920, George A
Ward, counselor for the United
States Reclamation service, told the
members of the Federation Of wom-
ems Clubs Monday night at the Eb-
bitt that the only means Of placing
the Washington Railway Elecric
Company on a reasonable standard
was putting II into the hands OF a
receiver and its stock on the auc-
tioneer's block.
While the company is at present
reaping a harvest, Ward declared,
having a nine per cent dividend and
paying over 5 per cent on preferred
stock, the liabilities OF the company
are so great that there is no hope
that it can be put on paying basis,
with the normal scent fare in effect
prospective by April l.
Quotes Utilities Law.
Figures showing that the liabi-
tiles of the company were three
times its estimated value were
quoted by Ward, who said there
never would be a realization of the
rights Of the residents of Washing
ton until they secured suffrage,
which would provide for the cleo
tion of officials. and their consequent
recall if they proved unmindful OF
the wishes OF the people.
Reading from the law as pub
lished in the Congressional Record,
Ward stated that the raise of fares
here was unlawful, and denied that
both local traction companies were
compelled to charge the same rate
of fare. He denied the power Of
the Public Utilities Commission to
permit the increase, and said that II
the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany. which was being con-
Quoted on a business basis, would
charge a lower fare, the W. r. and
E would be forced out OF operation
and into bankruptcy, which he ia
vored.
The legality and reasonableness
Of the gas companies in charging
rates which he termed 'usurious"
were questioned by Ward, who ad-
vocated that the companies, who,
he said. charged the government
departments 20 cents per 1,0OO-cubic
rect ana the lnOlNlOudl consumer
Sl.32. should strike an equitable
average and permit the rates to be
80 cents per 1000 cubic feet for
both. He further declared that ac-
cording to mandatory legislation to
the effect, there has never been
power given the Utilities Commits
sion to permit gas companies to
charge more than SIS cents a 1000
cubic feet. He stated that gas is
furnished for lighting the streets at
90 cents a cubic thousand.

One Lonely Vote
Upholds Wilson
In Army Bill Veto

One vote only was cast for the
Presidential veto of the resolution
limiting the size of the army to
l75,000 men. when it was called up
for action in the Senate Monday
afternoon during the discussion of
the sundry civil bill.
Senator Joseph F. Kirby, OF Ar
kansas. voted against overriding
the veto, while siXty-seven mem
bers OF the body cast their votes as
in opposition to the Secretary of
War and the President.
The action of the Senate means
that the -ar Department must stop
Immediately all recruiting. Secre-
tary Baker has been attempting to
get the army up to a strength of
2S0,o authorized under the army
reorganization act and has refused
heretofore to make the size OF the
army conform TO the appropriation
of Congress.
The present strength of the army
is moro than 100000 men and the
maximum strength called for in the
Congressional resolution will not,
it has been estimated. be reached
before September of this year.

MIDVALE STARTS
STEEL PRICE WAR
Plans GreatvSales Drive With
out Regard for Old
Schedules.
Copyright. Is20. by the Press Publishing Col
(The New York Evsnisg worfA.)

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio. Feb. s.
That price war has been declared
in the steel industry which will re-
suit in Wholesale and universal
slashing OF selling prices on all
products, save possibly pipe and tin
plate, was forecast here yesterday
1t became known in steel circles
that the Midvale steel and Ordnance
Company, which owns the Cambria
Steel Company in JOhnstown, and
operates plants in the Philadelphia
district and in Coatesville, Pa, has
determined to break the deadlock
between steel manufacturers and
consumers of steel products which
has been on for nearly two months.
1t will send out it's statesmen at
once to dispose of products without
regard to the price schedule OF the
Industrial board to which all COM
panies have been adhering since
early in November. The fact that
this price slashing policy has been
put in effect by the Midvale people
leaked out here today and has
caused CONSERVATION in the ranks
of the Independent and United
States Steel Corporation officials.
The opinion prevailed today
among Youngstown and nearby
steel manufacturers that this move
by the Corey interests would prove
a forerunner for a price war which
would quickly result in the read
justment of the industry. That the
other independents and the United
States Steel Corporation would be
forced to meet Midvale prices,
whatever they may be, was freely
admitted. While the news was re-
ceived with pessimism in some
quarters, 1t was also looked upon
as clearing the way for the reduc-
tion in wages and lowering Of other
cost items which have Been stand
ing in the way of a complete read
justment of the steel industry.
