WASHINGTON, March 3.-Advocates
Of the naval appropriations bill as it
was reported from the Senate Naval
Affairs Committee to-day gave up the
struggle to drive it to passage before
noon tomorrow, when the present
session of Congress ends.
Failure Of the bill and inability to
force it through in the face of the
opposition were admitted by Senator
PoindeXter, who is in charge of it. in
speech soon after the Senate met this
morning.
He attempted to obtain unanimous
consent for vote on the measure this
afternoon, but Senator Borah objected
and said it was unreasonable to ask for
its passage in the last three or four
days of the session without the fullest
opportunity to consider it.
While the bill was not formally with
drawn by Senator Poindexter and was
technically kept before the Senate
through the day, other business was
considered and it was recognized on all
hands that naval appropriations would
nave to go over for consideration in
the extra session of the new Congress.
Senator Poindexter moved once to
withdraw the bill, but this motion was
held out Of order by the chair. Sena-
tor Simmons, of North Carolina, strong
ly urged passage of the bill He ex-
pressed apprehension Of the effect
failure to pass the bill would have in
other countries. He felt it would be
misunderstood.
Object in Keeping Bill in Senate
1t was freely charged about the
Capitol that one of the reasons for the
persistence in keeping the bill before
the Senate, though it was plain it
could not pass, was unwillingness of
many Senators to consider the bonus
bill, the minimum wage bill or the
Calder coal bill.
Senator Poindexter in his speech
took the opposition TO task, arguing
that conditions in the world are "crit-
cal" and that a strong naval program
IS warranted.
Prom the expressions we have hea- d
in attempting TO pass the naval bill"
he said, "it is perfectly evident that it
is impossible to enact it into legisla-
ton at this session of Congress. That
being the case | do not feel like as
sumlng the responsibility of holding
the time OF the Senate in the mere
mummery of something that cannot be
enacted into law, thereby preventing
the enactment of a great many impor-
tant and vital measures that are pend
ing"
The Senator referred sarcastically to
one or two bridge bills that had been
blocked and then discussed briefly the
naval bill as it came from the House.
Acceptance of that measure, he said,
would have led to the Decentralization

The defeat OF the government min

WASHINGTON. Oct. THE New
Jersey cities showed small increases
in the number of unemployed work
ers during September. ranging from
40 per cent in Camden to one-half
of one per cent in Trenton. accord
ing to the labor departments indus
trial survey for the month, an
nounced today. Jersey City with 81
per cent increase was the only city
in the state to have reduction in
number of unemployed during the
month.
Considerable building activity was
reported from the New Jersey cities.
Textiles continued to gradually ap-
proach normal: metals and metal
products do not yet show the i'm

tricts. and the housing situation is
still acute in many localities. the re-

vey is based on actual figures taken
from 1,42S plants usually having
oyer 500 workers each. or a total OF
10000 Doc workers. so that all guess
work and estimates are eliminated.
On September 80 these LAPS firms
had 1S.O5O more employees on their
payrolls than on August 81. an in
crease of LIZ per cent.
THE continued increase in en-
ployment clearly confirms the indi-
cations observed in August. that the
industrial pendulum is definitely on
the upward trend" the labor depart
ment's report states. The greatest
change reported is in the western
and southern sections of the coun-
try. The Industrial areas in the east
not only held their own, but slightly
increased their forces in many lines,
leading with textiles, and including
iron and steel. and railroads. Build
ing operations proceed with greater
activity, and show some indication
of continuing at least until checked
by adverse weather conditions.
1.-THE marked increased industrial
optimism reported from every sec
ton of the country seems to be
based largely on the improved con-
ditions in the wholesale and retail
business, which has been partly
stimulated by the change of season."

years ago Mr.. Cooley raised the
largest on this end of the island by
placing one on exhibition at the same
bakery weighing 122 pounds and
