LOWER HOUSE TO .
!. GET TARIFF BILL
ON DELAYED DATE
SET FOR FIFTH OF JULY
A Sharp Revolt Has Risen
Among the Members of the
House Primarily Against
Taking Lumber OFF Free
List and Opposition Extends
to Oils and Hides.
SET FOR FIFTH OF JULY

Washington, June 23.-The report
ing of the tariff bill to the lower
house is once more delayed, this time
from June 27 to July s. The plea is
made that further postponement is
necessary "to give the Democrats a
chance to read the bill.'
In the meantime, sharp revolt
has risen among the members Of the
house primarily against taking lum-
Der of the free list, but it extends to
oils and hides. This revolt is organ
lied. 1t includes members from Is
states. 1t is probably the opposition
which is developing to the bill which
Mr.. Fordney is reporting that is caus-
ing the latest delay, rather than any
undue courtesy to the Democrats. I'm
less this opposition can be smothered
in a caucus on conference of the
house Republicans or unless it is sue
cessful in such disciplinary gather
ing in striking out the duty on lum-
ber there is likely to develop a sharp
fight on the floor Of the house when
the bill comes up for debate.

TWO AIRMEN KILLED

Lieut.. Marll j. Plumb, were drowned
in the Chesapeake bay today after a
collision of their planes in the
course of a bombing raid directed at
the hull of the old battleship San
Marcos of Tangier Island.
Reports received by the war de-
partment from Langley field, Va,
said the accident was one of the most
peculiar on record. Lieut.. Plumb, fly
ing fast single scatter plane, was
dropping bombs and Captain Doug
las, in a similar machine, was OBJ
serving the raid from above. Plumb's
machine had just dropped a bomb
and was climbing upward as is the
custom after releasing the weapon
when 1t struck Captain Douglass ma
chine cutting off its tail.
Both planes fell into the bay and
disappeared with their pilots, whose
bodies had not been recovered to-
night though sought by a number Of
army and navy craft ordered to the
scene after the accident.

REDS PLANNED TO
SEIZE OUR SHIPS
Plans Discovered by Police May
Explain Disappearance Of
American Ships.

New York, June 22.-P1ans for
the seizure of American vessels at
sea and their diversion to Russian
soviet ports were revealed, New
York police officials announced to-
day, in documents seized a year and
one-half ago in raid made by them
on the headquarters Of the Russian
workers of the United States and
Canada.
These documents, which are still
in their possession, police intimated,
may explain the disappearance at sea
of several American vessels in the
last few months.
Detective Sergt. j. J. Gegan. chief
OF the bomb squad, who made the
raid, declared federal officers were
notified Of the seizure at the time,
but that he did not know whether
any action had been taken by them.
The plan, outlined in the docu-
ments was to ship enough men on
the vessels to be seized to overpower
the rest of the crew at sea.
The Russians were then to take
charge of the vessels and to direct
them to soviet ports.

ownership of railroads and national
ization of mines are the two major
issues on which John Lewis hopes
to win the presidency Of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor it was learn
ed today. On the other hand Gompers
is striving for reelection on his
record of the past Al years as leader
in the American labor movement.
In his first public statement as to
his platform Mr.. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea said:
Il stand for government ownership
Of the railroads and naturalization
Of the mines and other progressive
legislation that will give the work.
ing man freedom in industry.
- stand for health insurance, old
age pension, and unemployment in
urance-all progressive measures for
the relief of the working masses. All
enactment of these laws would give
adequate provision and reward"
Mr.. Lewis said he had taken no de-
finite stand on the subject Of the
relation with the European labor
movement.
Mr.. Gompers' supporters in his be-
half declared "His record in the
American labor movement during the
past Al years would re-elect him to
the presidency.
This made the issue between the
two candidates clear as President
Gompers has already gone on record
against government ownership, un-
employment insurance and health in
surance and other proposed legisla-
tive measures.

REMOVE CAPT. sTEARNs BEFORE COUNCIL MEET
BEFORE COUNCIL MEET
British Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs Took the Conference
Into His Confidence and
Placed All His Cards on the
Table. There Was a Full
Discussion.

London, (By Canadian Press).-
June 23.-The Imperial conference
did not hold formal session today
after hearing Lord Curzon's speech.
When the conference convenes Friday
the Japanese alliance, the first big
subject to be discussed, will not like
ly come up.
Lord Curzon's speech was a COM
prehensive review of the principles
which have featured the British for
eign policy since the end of the war.
Owing to the fact a number Of quest
ions of delicate international signi-
ficance had to be touched on the con-
ference agreed not to make the meet
ing public. All that can be said is
that that the British minister of for
eign affairs took the conference into
his confidence laying all the cards on
the table at the same time inviting
questions from the members.
This invitation, it was understood,
was freely acted upon, premier Neigh
an and other premiers subjecting
Lord Curzon to what practically
amounted to cross examination. =
The foreign secretary it is known
did not touch upon the Japanese al
lance except in a general way and
neither advocated that that it be de-
nounced or renewed. He dealt at
length with the diplomatic confer
ence he held recently with the Prem
fer of France discussing the general
lines of the British policy both in
Europe and the Pacific.

TOWARD RDSOV|ET|SM
Officer Allowed Order Issued
Providing for a Ship Morale
Committee to Investigate
and Report Disciplinary
Cases and Offer Suggestions
on Naval Service.

Washington, June 23.-Secretary
DENLY has taken action on recon.
mendations of Admiral H. B. Wilson
commander, in chief of the Atlantic
fleet to nip in the bud any tendency
to sovietism in the navy. Capt. d.
Stearns of the battleship Michigan
has been relieved for having per-
mitted his crew to discuss with him
disciplinary matters vested in only
the ships commanding officer.
Capt. Stearns issued the order
which brought about his detachment
with the approval of former Secre-
|tary Daniels it is understood but Den
by is said to hold while intending to
improve the morale of the enlisted
personnel approval by the depart
ment would establish a precedent
that might injure discipline even to
the point Of setting up "soviet rule. "
Power is invested by status solely
in commanding officer of ships and it
is contrary to tradition and establish
ed custom to give the crews disciplin-
ary authority direct or advisory to
any extent. Secretary DENLY denied
rumors that another battleship cap
tain was dismissed because he allow
ed the crew to vote on what navy yard
should be the home port of the ves-
sci. 1t was understood such vote
had been taken on a dreadnought of
the Atlantic fleet and the navy de-
partment disapproved. but no action
had been taken. H
The order issued on the Michigan
provided for ship morale commit
tee to consist of four petty officers
and ten other enlisted men. Among
duties assigned to it was investiga-
tion and report to the captain on dis
ciplinary cases which the captain
might require and transmission to
the captain from the crew of sug-
gestions tending for efficiency in the
ship or naval service.
