AGAIN SOUNDS WARN|NG LIN ARMY SLASH
General Says That National Defense Project Imperiled
 if Army Cut Goes Thru

WASHINGTON, Mar 14.-(By the Associated Press ss)-House approrria ton committee proposals to cut the regular army to 115,0OO enlisted men and 1000 officers, aroused General Pershlng today to renewed declar. ation that the whole national defense project put through in 1918 would be imperiled if the slash recommended was made by congress. Success oi that sound military policy and sue. cess of national defense" he said in statement to The Associated Press depended upon adequate provision for the military establishment.
 The fibre of the regular army has been thoroughly tested" General Pershing said. by the strains placed upon 1t. not only in time of war but ln time of peace, when it has had to withstand the onslaughts made upon 1t in the name of economy or pari- fism
 Tt appears now. due to the de mands for economy in our national expenditures, another critical hour for the army and the national de- fense is.-at hand
 Referring to the frequent slashes in army strength made by congress since the war; General Pershing said "a vacillating course" with re- spect to army personnel discouraged competent men from entering the ser vice and lowered morale and efficien cy within the army until it was diff ficult if not impossible to use to ad. vantage the services of even the best of such DersOnneI"
 "Rut whatever congress may see Tit to grant," the chief of staff added the army will, as it always has, ap- ply. itself to giving the nation as much national defense as it can. It will not quit, no matter how badly crippled.
 It does ask, however, not through self-interest but in the interests of the country, that its missions, it's per sonnel and its means of accompl~il- ing the missions be given some per manency. and that it be permitted through continuity of effort, to give the country full return for its ex- penditures for national defense"
 General Pershing made no direct reference to the proposal to slash overseas garrisons, but in explaining the missions of the garrisons, he made it clear that the war depart ment does not believe that the forces in Hawaii or PaIfama can be reduced with safety, and that there is no thought in the department of reduc- ing the Philippine garrison until the

SENATE REJECTS AWE MOMENT TO APO WEIR PACT
Stormy Debate Precedes Vote on First Amendment to
 Pacific Treaty
PACT ISSUES REVIVED
Warns Opposition that Defeat of Treaty May Mean Taking
 Issue Before Country

WASHINGTON, Mar. 14.-After an- other stormy debate in which possible political consequences of the admin istration treaty program were discus sed from several angles. the senate rejected by division along almost party lines, the first of the amend ments to the four power Pacific pact.
 At the peak of their strength with II short or the full membership pres ent and voting, the opposition to the treaty marshalled 26 Democratic and four Republican votes, within two of a third of the full senate membership, but three less than enough to upset the two thirds needed for final rati- fication if all Senators participate in this vote. Leaders on both sides con coded, however, that at best the di- lsion was but poor index to senate sentiment on the question of .dtlta- ton itself
 The first of two amendments acted on was offered by Senator Robinson. Democrat, Arkansas, and provided that the four powers shCu,d refrain from aggression against non-signatory as we'll as signatory nations, and that all interested nations, whether sigma. tory to the treaty or not should be invited to any conference over Pa. cific controversy The proposal was lost, 30 to 55. Later, a similar amend ment in different form wa presented by Senator Walsh, Democrat, Mon. tana, and was voted down, 27 70 90.
 On both roll calls, four Republicans of Idaho( Johnson of Califor- mia, France of Maryland, and La Fol lette of Wiscpnsin-voted in the ar- firmative, while an equal number of Democrate-Pomeren of Ohio, Rans- dell of Louisiana. Underwood of Ala bama, and Williams of Mississippi joined the opposition.
 In the debate proceeding the fiist vote, nearly all the issues of the treaty fight were revived and both Democratic and Republicans indulged ill prophecies of what might happen if the arms conference trea.ies oe- came an issue between the Republican and Democratic parties. Senator Len root, Republican, Wisconsin, warned the Democratic side of the chaIIber that should the four power pact De defated. President Harding might withdraw the other treaties from the senate and ask the country for a yer dict at the polls in November.
 By Senator McCumber. Republican, North Dakota, also supporter of the treaty, the president was invited to say what had become of the Repuh- lican pledge of 1920 for an "assOCla- tion" had been formed by the four power treaty, but argued that Ger many and Austria, among others, should be brought into similar com pact, because an incomplete combia- ation "only would be a trouble breed CT" He put into the record l plan

Thorne. asserting in his brief that railroad earnings would stand the re- duction, fixing them at the rate of more than one billion dollars an- nually during the last few months declared that fewer miles of rail- roads were in the hands of receivers last year than any year since 1912" and asked the commission to contrast this situation with that in geaa.a. dustry which he said showed found industrial uepress.un 1-- sands of factories closed aown Or .a hands of receivers. millions of people idle, and few industries able to meet operating expenses"
 Actions of the railroad labor board. he said, had been attacked by |" stud fed propaganda" on the ground that had not allowed railroads to cut costs. but it's decisions contributed twice as much toward bringing things back to normal as all the railroads in the United States have done This was true. he added. because the wage bill of American roads had been cut S4OO,OO0,00O annually by the board since 1920. while all the rate reduc- tlonS allowed by the railroads in the same time only cost them SIS6.O 900 in revenue.
 Thorne asked that the rate cut be be observed in the fall of charges and costs in the various industries" and that the commission keep the dock ct in this case open for further orders and further hearings" as the costs of railroading are lowered.

Says Railroads Only Industry Not Compelled To Cut Prices

WASHINGTON, Mar. 14.-Railroads constitute the only great industry in the country which has not been "com- pelled by the laws of commerce and industry to reduce prices and reduce costs" according to brief filed the interstate commerce commission by Clifford Thorne. spokesman for shippers, in closing the general in- vestigation into transportation rates.
 Wholesale prices of commodities have dropped 50 percent ana interest rates on money 25 pc cent since 192 when the last general advances wer0 put on railroad service charges, the brief asserted, "and the time has come when that advance must be re- moved"
 If all of it cannot be taken at one time,' the brief continued, then let us in good faith eliminate a third or half of it, removing in substantial amounts the transportation burdens resting upon those basic necessities of life which are essential to our wei fare"
 Competition has forced other indus tries to yield price standards. Thorne said, and in transportation, where we have simply substituted govern ment regulation for competition" the commission could not consider rail roads to be sort of sacred cows in our midst, immune from fundamental laws of society and commerce." free from necessity to lower charges for services as other prices declined un- less public regulation it to become a farce"

SAYS NJ WAGE
 CONTRACT, NJ
 GOAL D|GG|NG Leader Emphatically Declares No Coal Will Be Dug Unless Wage Contract Signed STRIKE IS INEVITABLE Leader and Secretary Both of Opinion That Strike
 Will Be Called

WASHINGTON, Mar. IA. - Secre. tary of Labor Davis and John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, exchanged views today on the threatening situation in the bitum- inous coal industry, and both were said, after their conference, to be of the opinion that national strike in the union fields was inevitable Lewis assured Davis again Of the willing ness of the miners union to open ne- gotiations for new national wage contract, a proposition which mine operators are refusing to entertain.
 Later, Lewis declared the cessation of work in the union mines after April l was "coming about automat- ically" and asserted that "a bold com mercial policy of the operators for which the public must pay" was in part responsible.
 If there is no conference between the miners union and the operators" he added, referring to the bituminOus situation, there can be no wage con tract drawn up. If there is no wage contract, there won't be any coal dug after April l. in union mines"
 Lewis accused mine operators asso- citations, which have sought local con ferences with the union, looking to the construction of district contracts, of playing for position" and "shoot- ing propaganda" Operators in certain districts, he insisted, would like to get an exclusive right to the coal mar ket after April l, when ali other mines are shut up," but could not make wage contracts until the basis for a national scale had been laid by wage contract in the central compet- itive field, which will determine the wages and costs of their competitors have to meet. and fix the relation ships in the coal market
 Meanwhile, he declared, "coal com panies can make lot of money" by refusing to enter conferences, get ting out strike scares, and frightening consumers into paying high prices for coal" He also insisted that district organizations of the miners union, ex- cept in Illinois, were supporting their national officials in demanding the national settlement.
 Lewis came here today from Illinois and after his conference with Secre- tary Davis, left with several repre- sentatives of the national union for New York, where the general scale committees of the union and the an thracite operators are in session consider terms of new wage con- tract.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Mar. 14.-A say ing to the state of $1,300,000 would result from enactment of the finan cial code and the general appropria. tion bill which were introduced in the legislature today. Slashes in pro posed expenses for the year com mencing next July l total SS31, ,000, and saving of an additional half mil lion is contemplated in the financial code.
 The code changes no salaries but proposes economies in administration by providing for general tightening up of the present financial system.

Other provisions are:
 Standardization of appropriation accounts and specification of limita- tions.
 Reyersion to the general fund of all u1expended balances on July 1 of this year and thereafter at the end of the fiscal year following adjourn ment of any legislature enacting a general appropriation bill Roads, buildings and the University of Ari- zona are the only exceptions.
 Authorization of employment and payment of wages, salaries, compen- sation costs and expenses in state statutes shall not constitute an appro- priation, and no payment may be made except as provided in the gen. eral appropriation bill.
