 hing of Rate War
+, Associated Press

Wa hingt6n March a.--Steps te avert a rate war affecting continental European rade routes will be taken bs the shipping board Vice presider W. J. Love said today in connection with an announcement of The forma withdrawal of United X eriean lines from the North Atlantic treigiG rate conference.
 Action of the United American lines was taken by W AveraH Harriman and his associates jn New York yesterday and announcement of the steps was communicated to inc sIlip ling board today.
 MT. Love stated that he would go to New York Monday in an attempt U smooth out any difficulties and siia eest a means of presenting a freight rate war which the snipping board be- lieves is threatened as a result of the Hartman action.
 The primary cause Of the Harri- man withdrawal from the conference it was said at the shipping board. vas on split over the rate on carrying provisions The Hartman lines. fl was explained. desired the present rate of 321z cents q hundred pounds continued in effect but other members of the conference wanted 1t increased. The Hartman group re- fused to accept the increase and withdrew
 The North Atlantic freight rate conference. it was said. was the out growth of the rate war which fol- lowed drastic cutting of ocean freight rates by Rear Admiral Benson, re- tired. when he was chairman of the shipping board.
 4 recent crisis has arisen in ship ping circles. it was said by the &C., tion of the Rearedon and Smith line of Cardiff. Wales. which refused to join the conference and be gan slash ing rates. One of the difficult phases of the controversy. it was added. was the fact that there were three groups of interests involved in freight rates to continental Europe. German. Dutch Belgian and French. The rate conference determined the rate which was applicable to all three without differentiation.
 One of the remedial suggestions Mir. Love said he would make on Monday. would be for an adjustment of ocean freight rates on the basis of districts or territory served. He would suggest. he added, that zoninS system be installed. In this way he explained, the temptation to slash rates would be more or less elim- mated

! The announcement or the agree ment between MT. Engstrum and Mr. Goethais was made by Marion But Ter, former senator from North Caro- lima, in testimony given the House military committee on the proposal which was under consideration as q competitor to those submitted by Henry Ford and the Alabama Power company for purchase and lease of the Muscle Shoals projects. The committee devoted both ses- sions today to an investigation of the Engstrum offer, receiving Mir. Engstrum first for a brief intro |duction of his bid and later exam ming MT. Butler, wno appeared as legal adviser for the North Caro- linian. Mir. Butler said nitrate and Fertilizer production, viewed in the Esense of their relation to the national defense. was the prime object of the offer he spoke for, although hydro electric development would not be neglected
 Does Not Mention Ford ] While the former senator did not refer to the Ford offer by name, he argued strongly against congress lsional action which would permit the principal waterpower project in the [south to be controlled by a private lconcern. New York state had per |mitted Niagara to be monopolized |he said. and the people there were up in arms now crying for power they could not get.
 Tt would be great mistake" Mir Butler said, "to permit Muscle Shoals to be monopolized and the public interests of the surrounding country excluded from the benefits they would get if development was made lin a proper way"
 Nitrate and fertilizer production at ithe shoals, Mr. Butler told the com N 'ttee, could be made a national as
 ss, permitting cheap soif foous for Nhe farmers and reduced prices of foodstuffs for the consumers. He Declared there was danger of ex
 lausting the Chilean nitrate supply

\ London, March 3.-Premier Lloyd feorge's threat to resign has been suspended at the urgent solicitation if his unionist colleagues in the cabi-
 let, according to an authoritative Itatement tonight, but no 1ustifica- Eon for it's withdrawal is said to ex- kt as yet
 lxact time limit has been fixed for eceiving assurances of loyalty to the Iremier from the adherents of Sir keorge Younger, the unionist leader lthough it is added that obviously he tension cannot be extended in- definitely.
 | Meanwhile, there is no indication of lny move on the part of the unionist iarty to dethrone Younger as it's cad. No meeting of .he whole union 1t party has been called, and the leneral opinion is that the only hap Iening will be that the unionist min lters in the cabinet-Arthur J. Bal bur and Austen mberlain--may [ublicly reprove Younger for his tao lies, as Lord Birkenhead already has None.
 Speaking at Oxford today, Austen announced that the tnionist ministers had unanimously requested the premier to continue as i cad of the government.

PRESIDENT TAXES A HAND IN ARMY
 SIZE DISCUSSION
Harding Calls in Army Appro- priation Subcommittee After Conference With
 General Pershing
By Associated Prose

Washington, March 3.-Presideni Harding took a hand in the army strength discussion today, summon ing members of the House army ap- propriations subcommittee into con ference after talk with General Pershing.
 The subcommittee yesterday agreed tentatively to cut the army enlisted strength for next year from the au- thorized 10000 to 115.OOo. After the White House conference it was dis closed that an administration policy for a force of not less than 130,o0o had been formulated and expressed the present actual strength is about 137.000.
 General PershinS would not discuss the nature of his talk with the Presi- dent, but when the summons to Chair man Anthony and hIs associates fol- lowed there was no e1rort to conceal that General Pershing had felt 1t necessary to appear to the President against the cut in the army the com- mittees had in mind
 Whole Scheme Threatened
 As active head of the army, Gen eral Pershing is known to feel that not alone the efficiency of the new military policy worked out under the national defense act of 1920 was threatened. but that even the post war scheme to combine the regulars national guard and organized reserve into one army would be impaired If the regular service was further re- duced before the new system had been perfected and was in operation.
 At the war department, acting Sec retary Wainwright said the military policy of 1920 was passed as an abid- ing policy and was not a plan sub ject to the whim or caprice of every shift in the economic situation"
 Tt that policy was needed in 1920 it also is needed in 1922. he added
 With relation to General Pershing' g call to the White House, MT. Vain wright said that mo man is better fitted to speak with authority on this question than he"

 to Develop
By FRED IT. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Age-Heraio, 221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, March 3.-(Speeial.) Sheriff J. c. Hartsfield of Jefferson county will be unable to collect any salary for his services during the remainder of his terms, as a result of the decision of the supreme court late Friday in the case from the Jeff ferson circuit court.
 The supreme court held that Sher- if Hartsfield's salary, under the To- caf act of 1915, must be held within the total fees and commissions earned by the office, and that as the expenses of the office have run above the fees and commissions by s30,000 M V Henry, county treasurer, is without authority to pay additional warrants for the salary of the sher- if,
 In companion case the supreme court held that Steve Wiggins and other deputies of the sheriff must be paid. regardless of the condition of the sheriffs fund, as the local act restricted only the salary of the sheriff and that salaries of depu- ties are included in the expenses of tie operation of the sheriff's de- partment
 Reverse Decision
 The court reversed and remanded the decision of the lower court in the case of Sheriff Hartsfield. the lower court holding that Sheriff Hartsfield could continue to collect his salary of $500 a month. It af~ firmed the decision of the lower court in the case of Mir. Wiggins, who brought the suit for the benefit of all deputies.
