NJ. C Writes: Tho Ford car which

that my former one did. The engine

with its excessive use OF oil.
Answer: We suspect that tho pistons
OF this engine are not as we'll fitted in
their cylinders as were those of your

MANILA. P. l.. May 6.-Ma jor General Leonard Wood and w Cam eron Forbes. former governor here composing President Harding's spe- cial mission to investigate conditions in the Philippine islands. settled down to investigation work immedi- ateIy upon arrival. After a popular demonstration today in the shape of a parade of all civic organizations headed by Mayor Fernandez, in honor of the commissioners, the mission started action.
 Two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon were fixed daily for reception of all persons de- string to present anything regarding Philippins affairs.
 One of the first matters called to the attention of the mission was the formal presentation by the Philip pine independence commission of a petition asking for independence on the ground that a stable government had been esta blished
 General Wood and Commissioner Forbes issued the following state ment:
 Our instructions were to come to the islands and make a full, fair, i'm partial report upon conditions for President Harding, and not necessar- fly to find any fault with the Filipino people"

BELFAST, May 6.-It has been learned from a high authority that Sir James Craig in his conversation with De Valera gave De Valera to understand in unmistakeable terms that under no circumstances would Ulster ever entertain the idea of as- senting to or participating In an Irish republic. The language of Sir James on this point, it was declared, was as decisive and emphatic as anything Premier Lloyd George has said on the same subject and hence no prog ress was possible with the premier or the people of Ulster along the lines of the Sim Fein's present policy
 It was added that 1t might def initely be stated that the negotia- tions are at end unless the Sim Fein makes a new move on different line to that adoptel at yesterdays con- ference.

LONG TIME CREDITS

 URGED BY BANKERS
Republican A. P. Leased Wire]

PINEHURST, N. C., May 6.-Res- olutions approving acceptance of the United States of the allied invitation for American representation on the supreme council and reparation com- mission, opposing government own ership and operation of railroads, approving the McFadden bill to amend the federal reserve act so as to transfer the functions now exer- cised by the comptroller of the cur rency to the federal reserve board and opposing issuance of tax exemp ton securities were adopted at the final session today of the annual meeting of the executive council of the American Bankers association.
 Other resolutions adopted proposed federal regulation of investment se- curities. approved the budget system for handling government finances and suggested the need of bringing into operation at the earliest possf- the extension of long time credit to restore foreign trade.
 Concerning the labor situation, the council went on record as accepting the principle of collective bargain ing as an equitable basis for ad- justment of differences in industry but a resolution adopted said i've be- ileVe that the open shop IS more eco homie in principal and more Ameri- can in spirit than the so-called closed shop with it's almost unavoidable ac compartment of unfair and wasteful tyranny by any class"
 The public interest, it added, lis paramount"
 The resolution dealing with the railroads said:
 We regard it as a self-evideni fact that government responsibility for railroad earnings should be ac- companied by duly delegated power to determine important factors enter ing therein, in order that proper balance may be determined betwesE railroad income and outgo. In order that we may have a transportation system equal to the growing com mercial and industrial needs of the country, it is obvious that railroad credit must be restored to attract capital to this field of investment We would deplore any situation aris- ing which would make the private ownership and operations of the rail l roads impracticable. Tn view of the 1 high rate schedules we would favor 1 the repeal of the federal tax or l freight and passenger rates"

French Proceeding With Preparations For Ruhr Invasion
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre]

DUESSELDORF. May 6-Prepara- tions for the occupation of the Ruhr region are proceeding. although the general impression here is that Ger many will agree to the allied terms at the eleventh hour. Two full df visions of cavalry are now at Dues seldorf, under General Hennocque. He is organizing to effect occupation, if necessary, between sunrise and sun set of May 13.
 General Hennocque said today he did not expect trouble, but was pre- pared for anything. Ais operations are being planned with a view to meeting a partial cessation of work. Although no general strike is an ticipated, it is estir1ated that from p to B per cent of the German workmen in some industries may strike if the occupation takes place. The French, however, are ready to replace the unwilling workers and to move out any undesirables. Ne gotiations are going on for Polish laborers to fill the gaps at the mines.

FURTHER EFFORTS ID
 SETTLE SHIP STRIKE DEFERRED ID MONDAY
Republican A.. p. Leased WlreJ

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Further conferences between representative of the seamen's unions and Secretary Davis, who is attempting to reach settlement of the wage dispute in volving American shipping, were de- ferred today until Monday to give union leaders an opportunity to re- port to their organizations the terms of the proposed agreement as it has been evolved in the conferences.
 The terms, it is understood, pro- vide for a continuation of the eight hour day and three shifts a day, which it is said has been a point of contention, together with a proposed reduction of wages, which govern ment officials declare is not drastic.
 The union representatives have re- fused to sign any agreement which provided solely for a reduction in wages, but have made no statement as to whether they would urge the workers to accept a reduction to pre- serve the eight-hour day. On the other hand, Chairman Benson of the shipping board declared in tele- grams sent late today to operatorS of shipping board vessels in all ports that the board was standing fast in its refusal to discuss a compromise on the wage scale. He added. how ever, in a statement, that the men had been invited to discuss wages and working conditions at any time.

Wilson Tells House Com mittee Reports of Huge Packer Profits Untrue; Oppose Norris Bill

WASHINGTON. May G. Meat packing concerns in the United States. though opposed to the Norris Me Laughlin bill for federal regulation of the industry now before congress, are willing to accept supervision of their industry by the department of agri- culture, Thomas E. Wilson, president of the Institute Of American Meat Packers. testified today before house committee. He suggested mod Ifications and methods of redrafting under consideration chiefly to desig- nate the secretary of agriculture as the authorized agent of the govern ment in controlling the industry.
 With these changes, which he said would make bill comparable to that introduced by Chairman Haugen of the house agriculture committee last session, the packers "and all of us could get together on a bill" He declared it is a mistake to assume that the packing industry is fighting all types Of government supervision" !"

In a long statementvread before the com mittee preliminary to a general dis cussion of legislative proposals, he said that legislation touching the packers would affect directly the host of livestock producers and shippers not directly involved.
 MT. Wilson asserted that legislation of the sort proposed would serve to divert the largest single industry in America from efforts to adjust tself to changed and difficult situation. The result, he said. would be quite as harmful to the livestock producers as to the packing industry itself, as what is injurious to one is bound to prove harmful to the other

 | Mir. Wilson declared other indus tries were making much greater profits than the meat men. During 1920. he said. the five larger packers averaged a profit of about 19 cents on each animal slaughtered by them and hlat about ST per cent of every dollar received by the packers went to livestock producers. The falling off in export demand. decreased meal consumption per capita in the Unit ed States, increase in unemployment and decrease in purchasing power the development of thrift in con
