Labor Asks Harding for
Tariff Against Europe
Local Groups Charge Workers

With Foreign Goods

The Central Trades and Labor Coun.
Gil and the Allied Printing Trades
Council yesterday sent a telegram to
President Harding urging him to de-
mand of Congress "tariff law which
will give American workers an oppor-
tunity now denied them of competing
with products of foreign workers with
which this country has been flooded
during the last few years"
The communication was sent stimuli
taneously with a telegram to Samue,
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation of Labor, in Buffalo. 1t
reads, in part:
"Workers of this country will read
with interest your recommendations to
Congress. Your unemployment confer
ence may have brought some degree Of
relief and assistance to unskilled
tradesmen, but we can assure YOU il
was of little benefit to those who have
spent years in learning trades at which
they could earn a livelihood and main
tain American standards of living.
"There is one remedy which lies
within the power of your Administra
tlon to apply, and which will provide
employment for thousands of skilled
workers, Demand of Congress adop-
ton of tariff law which will give
American workers all opportunity TO
compete with products Of foreign work.

From ras rrssume's wosns~oso~ Bursos

From The TtS6une'S Washington haTedS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.--The eyes of
all European correspondents were
turned to-day upon Congress. 1t was
the first opportunity for many of them
TO see that body in action, and SO the
attendance was large. The fact that
the President was to deliver his mes
sage added interest to the occasion
AMI lent high hopes to those who know
only European politics. Keenly on the
alert for some significant hint, ready
to read n meaning into his words that
did not exist and hoping to see some
dramatic reference to the conference
that would stir the world, they went in
q body, and felt highly honorcd to be
placed on the floor of the House.
They returned. however. no wiser.
but somewhat sadder. The session
merely served to mystify their concep
tions of American politics. The one
thing that apparently made the great
est impression upon them was the
sight of William Allen White, of Kan
sas fame, sitting in the press gallery
during the invocation. sharpening his
pencil as he prepared for action. To a
fellow correspondent who demonstrated
with White that he was showering the
heads Of Congressman with lead and
pine shavings he replied with becoming
dignity:
Let the chips fall where they may"
and finished his operation as the prayer
was being concluded.
Every one in Congress was happy for
an hour and basked in the light that
had so long been turned on the con-
ference performers. Our Congress is y
jealous Congress and does not look
with favor upon the intrusion of diplo-
matte gatherings in Washington. The
traditional distrust of foreigners has
been more than confirmed after the
way in which they have endeavored to
usurp that attention which belongs
rightfully to all good Congressman and
Senators.
Rarely have the members of Con-
gress had such an audience. All the
bigwigs among the foreign delegations
were there. Prince Tokugawa, short,
comfortably round and cheerful. sat
not far away from the British Am
bassador, Sir Auckland Geddes, tall
lanky and somber looking. The diplo-
matte gallery was filled to overfowng.
The press galleries were crowded. 1T

League Absurd as Compared
To Conference, Says Lauzanne
He Calls Harding Plan Clear, Simple and Concise,
and Asserts France Goes to Geneva Only
in Complying With Treaty

though it is not her vital interests that
are being discussed, France is wholly
present, body and soul. Every fiber Of
her is keenly, thrillingly alive. She
hopes for the success Of this one, for
the failure of that ono. Above all, she
hopes for the success Of the confer
cree, so that it may be followed by
others. For France believes in the
Washington system. She has pinned
her faith and hopes to it.
/ may therefore say that out OF
20 100000 Frenchmen there arc at
least 30,000,000 who rejoice at the plans
of President Harding.
Question Of Germany
There remains the question Of Ger
many. A newspaper man put that
question to President Harding, and did
it badly, for it does sometimes happen
that newspaper men ask their questions
in the wrong way He inquired whether
Germany would participate in the con-
ference system, without specifying
whether now or in the future. For
France, the reply is simple. If the
present conference is meant the an
swer is: No, Germany has nothing to
do with the present debate. There is
when the guests took their places at
the table the list had already been
made up and communicated to all. It
is not customary to start dinner all
over again for a person whose presence
has not been mentioned to the other
guests.
If the question refers to future CON
ferences the reply is very different.
If. for instance, next spring there is
to be an international financial con-
ference in London or Paris or Wash
! ington, it would be difficult not to ask
Germany, who will be one Of those
chiefly interested. Again if two or
three years from now conference is
called to try to put Russia on her fee2
again, it will be necessary to summon
Germany as we'll as Poland, Rumanis,
Latvia and all other ncighbors or cred
itors of Russia.
That is how France understands thu
presence Of Germany at future confer
ences.
In any case, the plan of President
Harding bears his mark it is gener-
Gus and it remains practical. 1t con-
ssts, in order to scatter any cloud
that threatens world peace. in conven-
ing in time the nations on which the
cloud might burst and examining the
best way Of getting under cover before
the next downpour. The Wilson nroi-
Get consisted in making fine weather

weather eternally. Rain has been since
the beginning Of time, and will only

trary, presupposes people qualified tc
discuss determined subject and hav-
ing authority to carry out the decisions
reached in common.
Let us suppose the limitation OF
naval armaments and the Far Eastern
questions to have been discussed at
Geneva. One of the absurd conse
quences of this would have been te

Washington, on the contrary, only
those powers participated in the nava

Shift of Warships
Into Liners Left to
Arms Delegation
Proposal TO Be Considered
After Navy Reduction Pro-
gram Has Been Settled;
Officials Indorse Plan
Nrom ma Tribunc.s Woshtnoton Bureau


WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The pro-
posal to convert the American battle
cruisers into fast passenger liners for
service in the North Atlantic trade, as
advanced yesterday by Joseph Powell,
president of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration, has been officially referred to
the American delegation TO the oCnfer-
ence on the Limita ton of Armament.
The American big four has not yet
given the proposal any consde ration,
nor will the suggestion be taken up
until the major problem of reduction
of armament-the 5-5-3 plan-has been
definitely settled.
1t is the intention Of the delegation,
however, to give the most painstaking
study to any plan by which the great
sums of money already spent on naval
fighting vessels may be saved to the
country and at the same time the funda-
mental principle of destroying weapons
of war carried out. One high spokes-
man to-day declared that any plan that
involved putting war vessels out of
business as fighting ships would be
given consideration.
That the plan for converting the
cruisers into liners has been given
careful consideration in shipping and
naval circles was made plain to day,
when it became known that Commis-
sioner w S. Benson, former chief of
naval operations, was among the Ship
ping Board officials who first were at
tracted to the possibilities of the
cruiser for commercial purposes. 1t
also became known that Rear Admiral
David S. Taylor, chief of the Bureau of
Construction Of the Navy Department,
had given some study to the PROPOSE
ton of making merchantmen out of
both battleships and battle cruisers.
lie says beth are practicable,
Secretary of the Navy DENLY to-day
declined to comment on the proposal
except 20 say that it provided a novel
means of utilizing the naval craft
which would be designated for "crap
ping" Asked if there would be any
obstacle in the way OF turning the bat
tie cruisers over to the Shipping Board
for completion AS passenger liners.
Secretary DENLY pointed out that the
President had wide executive powers
with reference TO The disposition OF
naval vessels, The transfer could be
made bv the issuance Of an executive
order. without Congress sional approval,
law officers Of the Navy Department
said
The suggestion was made to. day III
naval circles that {he converted cruia-
ers could be utilized in the Pacific
trade as we'll as in the Atlantic. al
though it would be necessary TO reduce
their cruising speed materially in the
vest coast service.

those whose minds are still in the

that Mr.. Hughes and Baron Kato
would like nothing better than to give
a definite announcement of some set

shout it from the housetops.
In the repeater class belong those

then asks the spokesman whether he
believes that the conference will have
