BY T. N. SANDIFER.
Interna tional News Service.

The navy is not gambling on the
results of the coming disarmament
conference.
This was made plain today when
the navy estimates of appropriations
for the fiscal year 1928 were pre-
pared for submission to the budget
bureau and IL was learned that the
program does not provide for the
abandonment of any of the naval
bases included in the present naval
program.
Would Continue Work.
Secretary DENLY declined TO dis
close his plans for future develop
ment of naval bases and particularly
proposed development on the Pacific
coast. 1t was stated officially, how
ever, that work now under way on
naval bases will be continued IL the
estimates proposed are finally &C.
cepted.
DEVELOPMENT of naval bases on the
Pacific will probably be left an open
question until after the disarmament
conference, with final decision to be
fought out in Congress. Naval Off
cials were not reluctant In stating,
however, that disarmament or no,
they favor further development on
the Pacific. They point out that
the proposed bases are operating
bases and IL the United States Is to
maintain a navy at all II must have
efficient operating bases, and now
that the bulk of the naval fighting
strength is stationed in the Pacific
greater base facilities are needed.
Officials Prepare Data.
Naval officials are preparing data
for the submission to the disarma.
ment commission. apd it is under
stood that In these reports the att

not subject for primary discussion OF
disarmament.
The naval officials take the posi-.
ton that there should be no discus.
sion OF naval base abandonments
until a final agreement has been
reached upon the limitation of fight.
ing ships and that then there can be
only partial reduction of the base

Disregard Month Rule.

Responding to the request OF VA
rious railroad companies that they
be permitted to publish reduced rates
on grain and grain products for ex'
port on less than the usual statua-
tory notice OF thirty days, the In
terstate Commerce Commission to-
day granted authority for relic'
ton OF five and one-half cents per
one hundred pounds upon five days
notice from Missouri river and MIS-
sissippi river points as well as shch
territory between the two rivers and
Illinois to Gulf ports. Mobile TO
Galveston, inclusive.
Other Rates Changed.
Authority was also granted to pub
fish on five days notice reductions
ranging from one cent to five and
one-half cents per hundred pounds
from the territory lying west OF the
Missouri river In Nebraska, KANSAS,
Colorado and Oklahoma to Gulf
ports.
Numerous protests were received
by the commission against the grant
ing on short notice Of permission TO
make these reductions, but after CON
sidering all of the facts and arsu-

opposition to the applications. the
commission thought 1t best to grant
the authority requested.

The commission pointed out that
the granting of the short notice does
not constitute approval of the rela-

between the Gulf ports on the one
hand and Atlantic ports on the
other as to which there is much con-
troversy, or with respective to the
relative rates from interior western
points as compared with Missouri
river points.

SENATORS WILL
ACCEPT MELLON
VIEWS ON TAXES
Finance Committee Begins
Work Behind Closed Doors
on Measure Today.
BY J. BART CAMPBELL.
InternatioraI News Service.

Secretary MELONS estimate that
the Government will require approx.
imately $4,000 900, 900 to meet its
obligations and running expenses
during the current fiscal year In
likely to be accepted by the Senate
Finance Committee as the basis for
rewriting the tax bill passed by the
House. Republican committee mem
bers indicated today.
Although the committee began con-
sideration on the bill in closed ex-
ecutive session today. II was stated
that no plan or policy for raising
revenue and revising taxation would
be formulated by the Republican ma
jority members until after Secretary
Mellon confers with the committee
next week.
Accept Mellon Views
Most OF the Republican members
are inclined to accept the SecretarY's
tax proposals as a guide as to how
far Congress and the Administration
can really go toward relieving the
countrys tax burdens and at the
same time provide for the Govern
ment's financial requirements.
Melons recommendation were re-
jected by the House when il cut the
amount to be raised by the bill TO
81. 644 .000, 900. The Senate is OK
pected to add at least $1,000, 900, 900
to this amount in making man"
sweeping changes in the bill. One
Republican leader of the Senate said
II would be safe to predict that Mel
Ions estimate of $4,000, 900, 900 would
stand when the bill is rewritten and
enacted finally.
Sapato, Cp,Oot nf tnJ
that $685., 900 900 must be raised by
the Government from taxation.
Smoot Offers Plan.
Smoot figures that this amount
could easily be raised. without a
single person being able to say he
was Disseminated against" by the
new tax bill he has written and will
offer as a substitute for the House
measure.
While Shoots bill will receive
careful consideration from his col.
leagues on the Senate Finance Com
mittee, most of whom are opposed
to the sales or turnover tax plan of
which his bill is an elaboration, II
is regarded as certain that re-
written House bill will be the one
the committee will report to the
Senate after it reconvenes on Sep
TENDER 81.
The committee will do little more
this week than discuss the general
provisions of the House bill. and
their relation to the national tax
and fiscal situation. It's members
will not get down to the actual task
of altering the bill until Mellon has
consulted with them, and they. have
also conferred with the Treasury ex-
perts assigned to assist them in
whipping the measure into the new
shape II is expected to assume.

Labor Chief Believes Meeting
on Unemployment Move
for SIashing Wages.
BY MILDRED NORRIS.
international News Service.


Organized labor is distrustful of
the Presidents unemployment con-
ference.
Comments by union leaders to-
day showed spirit of bitter an
tagonism. They expressed sus-
picion of the purpose Of the con-
ference and predicted it would fail
to relieve the alarming unemploy-
ment situation.
Gary May Be Left Out.
There is evidence the Administra-
ton is aware of this attitude of
distrust and is anxious to remove 1t.
1t was intimated today in violin
formed labor cources that assurance
has been given Samuel Gompers.
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, that neither Judge K.
III. Gary, head of the United States
Steel Corporation, nor James ENERGY,
of the National Manufacturers AS
sociation, will be invited to the con-
ference.
Labor officials would not deny or
confirm reports that such assurance
had been demanded, but it was aid
to be doubtful whether Gompers or
any other representative OF the
!, American Federation of Labor would
teke part of Gary or ENERGY were In
cluded in the employers group.
"War" Warning Given.
After declaring that il the con-
ference provided any method If re-
lief it would be at 'pre-war wages
and under pre-war conditions" Il. -.
Dawson, secretary OF. the
International Association Of Machin-
lists, gave this ominous warning:
Before the workers go back to
pre-war conditions, they will start
And that's not idle talk. Conditions
In this country have reached a
dangerous stage"
\ Labor" the official organ of the
railroad unions, fatty charges that
the conference is to be used to lin
fluence the Senate" to pay the rail-
roads $500, 000,0 subsidy.
''The plea is being made this money
will be used in construction work
whereas everybody knows 1t is in
tended chiefly to pay deferred divi-
dends.
AT least one more industrial con.
ference can fare no worse than the
two called by President Wilson.
THE insistent urge of organized
labor that something be done has put
the Administration in position
where II must take action"
The barring of Contentious ques.
tfons" at, the conference, such as
wages, working hours, and open
! shop makes any accomplishment by
the conferences impossible, according
to labor's view. 2 ~.
Dawson Charges Conspiracy.
1T is the claim of labor that the
present unemployment is due chiefly
to artificial conditions created by q
conspiracy of interests out to crush
the unions, and there is every evi.
dence to substantiate this" Dawson
said.
mo solution of the unemployment
problem can be arrived at without
fixing the responsibility for 1t. How
can its causes be discussed without
discussing the questions at issue be-
tween capital and labor. It's absurd
and worthy of a schoolboy's brain.
my frank opinion is that the call
ing of this conference is camouflage.
II will do nothing and was not In
tended to do anything except, per-
haps, spread propaganda for return to
pre-war conditions of employment"
The Washington times., 1921-09-01

revival this autum. linked with the
assertion that unemployment may
remain serious for a considerable
period, tended to make more complex
the problem OF unemployment which
President Harding and his Cabinet
have set out to solve.
The Administration today was NOV
ing rapidly to lay the groundwork
for the coming conference OF bust
ness and Industrial leaders, who are
to be summoned here by Secretary
of Commerce Hoover, at the Presi-
dents suggestion. The Government
has already undertaken a thorough
survey of all importent cities to
determine accurately the extent OF
unemployment 1t was feared, how.
ever, that the Secretary of Labor's
estimates to Congress OF more than
5,0OO,0 900 people idle cannot be greatly
reduced.
Serious Situation Arising.
The labor situation that may dis
turb the entire country is rapidly
developing, and assuming graver
aspects, according to these latest re-
ports. The dread picture of millions
Of starving men and women in the
Interest months OF the year, is pre-
latest official reviews.
There were some encouraging
signs noted by the reserve board
today in the economic situation, but
they were largely seasonal in charac-
ter. incident to earlier crop market
ing and movements.
Close of the harvests will throw
hundreds of thousands now so en-
ployed back into the cities, reports
here state. Trade union funds usually
set aside for such emergencies are
fast being depleted. There is the
prospect that unemployment may
easily reach 5000 900 before the ma
tional conference begins to function.
Revival Hope Wsnes.
Early revival OF business had been
the main hope of Government leaders
to avert just such situation as is
now developing to the point of real
danger.
The President is said to realize that
the problem of the jobless may be
come the most serious single issue be-
fore the Government within the short
space of ninety days, unless prompt
measures are found to relieve the
situation.
Officials today were admittedly
puzzled over ways which can be de-
vised to prevent calamity which
would be far more distressing than
simply the business depression in
evidence in the business fields.
The labor situation briefly presented
by the Federal. Reserve Board shows
that in some Of the manufacturing
districts there have. been slight de.
creases in unemployment, but these
have been so slight as not to affect
the general situation. The manufac
turing activity thus noted is largely IL
result of seasonal demands. In most
of the reserve districts there Is no
change In the general situation, while
in some there is a pronounced jump
in the numbers idle.
