The former food administrator was
the first national figure with whom
Mr.. Harding conferred after his return
to Washington from the Chicago con-
vention last year and later Mr.. Hoo
YER came to Marion among the first
of the "best minds" to be called into

in the cabinet he may be asked to

Regarding the Labor portfolio also
there has been a flood of rccommen-

with four availabes under serious

in the final lineup James Duncan,
of Massachusetts, ranks close to Mr.

in that part Of the slate Mr.. Duncan
may go in.
One of the considerations that has
been urged against Mr.. Davis is that

Boston, Feb. 22.-Activity in shoe
manufacture and definite improve
mcnts in textile lines as compared
with condition of three months ago
are reported from ccnters of those in

industry which was very fiat last fall
has taken Il squirt as a result of
Easter demands and manufacturers
say they look for general strength
cning in the call for shoes after the
usual dull period Of the spring, with
a return to normal production by the
end of the year.
Production Of cotton textiles has
increased during the winter from 25
to SO per cent, and even more in some
special lines, according to manufac-
turers, who credit the improvement
largely to the stimulous of low prices
quoted to the trade as result Of the
22 1-2 per cent. wage cut. In the cot
ton mill centers of New Hampshire
Rhode Island, Maine and Massachu.

Except in Fall River, the center OF
the print cloth industry where tho

Senate OFFERS
RAILWAY RELIEF
Opposition to WinslOw Bill Broken
VOTE NOT NECESSARY
Measure Disposed of Before Expira-
ton of Time Allotted
for Debate

Washington, Feb. 22.-Thc opposi-
tion to the Winslow bill to permit
partial payments to railroads from
the Government guaranty fund col
lapsed completely today in the senate
and the measure was passed without
a record vote two hours before the
expiration Of time allotted for debate
on it..
Senator Townsend, Republican,
Michigan, IN charge of the measure
insisted that no one line in the bill,
as passed by the house should be
changed in the senate lest confer
ence and ensuing parliamentary OBJ
struction delay what he described as
action absolutely necessary to pre-
vent bankruptcy not only among
railroads but also among railroad
creditors. The senate followed his
advice and the measure was sent to
the president.
! Debate on the bill today was very
brief barring a six hour speech by
! Senator La Toilette, Republican, Wis
1
to enlarge the governments original
guarantee to the railroads. In a roll
call, the senate defeated AZ to 10 an
amendment offered by Senator La
Toilette which would have required
the interstate commerce commission
to investigate railroad expenditures
before further payments are made.
Senator, Townsend, describing the
situation which he said made the bill
emergency legislation, asserted that
the railroads because OF reduced earn
ings were entitled to Il total payment
of $600,000,000 under the government
guarantee against losses during the
six months following the ending Of
government control. The carriers he
said, had received $250,000,000 of that
amount "and congress supposed in
passing the transportation act that
the balance of approximately $780,
' 100000 could be paid them in install
mcnts, upon certificates Of the inter
=. state commerce commission though III
the nature Of the case many settle
' mcntS can not be completed IN years"
, The comptroller cf the treasury,
Senator Townsend further explained,
had ruled Tat q final account must
be rendered the government before
the roads could receive any addition
al amounts, and said this threatens to
} weak roads but to concerns which
have sold to railroads materials for
J. which payments can not be made
until the government acts. Railroad
credit general he said, was cndang
II cred by delay.
" The bill as passed would require
the interstate commerce commission
- to certify to the treasury amounts
which it actually finds to be due rail
~ road regardless Of whether these con.
=. stitutc the entire claims of the car.
10 ricrs. 1t further would require tho
- secretary Of the treasury to pay ou
" all sums so certified.
