CONGRESS MAY
EXTEND STATE
UTILITY POWER
Bill of Congressman Bacha-
rach Designed to End Di-
vided Authority.
BY international News Service.

Legislation extending the jurisdic.
ton OF State courts over action by
State bodies which affects public
utilities and corporations within a
State will be considered next Tues
day by the House Judiciary Com
mittee.
The bill was introduced by Con.
gresham Bacharach OF New Jersey.
1t requires all public utility corpora
tons or Companies operating within
a State which may desire to contest
an order issued by a State regulatory
board or commission to exhaust all
possible avenues of relief or remedy
in the State courts before taking an
appeal to the Federal courts.
1t has been the practice Of public
service corporations or utilities to
appeal direct from an order of a
State regulatory body to a Federal
court whenever the excuse may be
offered that citizens Of another State
are interested financially in the
corporation or utility. BY so doing
the State courts are ignored, and the
Federal authority is invoked.
Congressman Bacharach presented
his bill in behalf of the New Jersey
State authorities. The street rail-
ways OF that State, mainly the Pub
lie Service Company. recently had
an injunction issued from a Federal
court to prohibit forced reduction of
car fares. 1t was shown to the
Federal court that the State-ordered
rate would be confiscatory. The
State could not get the Federal in
junction set aside. and the United
States Supreme Court declined to
interfere. The State now seeks to
restrict the jurisdiction Of the
Federal courts.

G,O,P,LEADERS
IN LIGHTHOUSES
FIGHT NAVY CUT
Proposal to Limit Personnel to
$1,000 Attacked by Ware
and Poindexter.
by international News Service.

A determined fight was started to-
day by Administration leaders in
Congress to prevent the proposed
slashing of the navy personnel to
65, 900 men.
Congressman Ware (Rep) of Penn
sylvania served notice that as a
member OF the House Appropriations
Committee he would vigorously OPP
pose any reduction below $4,000
Backed by many other House
Republicans he declared that If he
was unsuccessful in preventing the
subcommittee in charge of the naval
appropriations bill from recommend.
ing a personnel of 5000 thai he
would carry the fight TO the floor
of the House.
Poindexter to Fight.
Senator Poindexter RepD oe
Washington. a ranking member of
the Senate Naval Affairs Committee.
also declared that II was his purpose
to combat any move to reduce the
naval personnel to n maximum not
in accordance with the ratio of me
naval limitation treaty.
Congressman Ware said that he
and other House Republicans were
in hearty accord with the strong dis.
approval President Harding eX.
pressed of the plan Of the "small
navy" man of the House 10 cut ths
navy personnel down to 5000.
Ware also announced that Il the
small navy" men Of the House APP
preparations Committee insisted
upon the proposed S., 900 maximum,
he would offer an amendment to the
navy appropriations bill to fix the
personnel at not less than &c 900 and
II the amendment We're rejected in
the committee he would offer il
again in the House.
Calls 1t Suicidal.
1T would be absurd and suicidal
for Congress to slash the navy per.
sonnet below the safety point of the
ratio of the naval limitation treaty ="
said Ware. II am personally in
favor of all possible economies being
effected to secure a sensible and
reasonable reduction of Govern
mental expenditures but l do not
propose to stand idly by when an
attempt is made to render the Amer
lean navy impotent
If such an attempt were to sue
coed, the navy, our chief arm of ma
tional defense, would be unable to
defend our many miles of coast line
on the Atlantic and the Pacific. We
would be placed in the ridiculous and
perilous position of possessing a
navy smaller than either Great
Britain and Japan, as Senator Poin-
dexter has very well pointed out

British Personnel $500.

The information from London
shows officially that the personnel
Of the British navy, after all pro.
spective reductions have been &C.
complished, will stand at $500.
From this total there should be sub.
tracted the personnel of the British
marine corps. which is about $4,000;
but there should he added to il the
personnel of the British naval air
force, which, according to the cal.
culation of our Navy Department,
is about 10000. The British net
total of naval personnel will there.
fore be approximately 94,500. as
contrasted with our prospective
$1,000.
The information from Tokyo
shows that the Japanese naval
personnel, after certain proposed
reductions have gone into effect,
will stand at some $4,000. The
japanese fleet will thereupon have
the following advantages over our
fleet at the moment OF the outbreak
Of any armed conflict in the Pacific
1. 1t will have slightly larger
number of trained men IN organized
readiness.
2. 1t will have 10 Japanese pos.
sessions to deferd on this side of
the Pacific. while cur fleet will
have to contemplate the defense OF
the Philippines I'D Guam, which
under the naval limitation treaty
cannot be further fortified.
8. Since the Japanese fleet Is no.
toriously. faster than ours and con-
tains battle cruisers which no capt
tai ship in our navy can possibly
pursue and catch, the japanese
naval staff viii he able at the be.
ginning Of anv war to blot our COM
merce out completely from the
