PRESIDENT AND
CONGRESS AT OUTS
BY Hugh w. Roberts.

Washington, March 29. - President
Harding has concluded to resort to
the "big stick" 1t is said that he is
ready to admit that he has scored a
failure in his experiment of permit
ting congress to conduct itself as a
separate unit. At any rate, there is
open warfare between the admins
trative and Legislative branches.
The passage through the house to-
day of the army appropriation bill
was the straw that broke the camel's
back. The house slapped the admins
tration's face in two particulars. In
the first place, it reduced the size of
the army to 115,0OO men, whereas the
administration had declared that it
could not function with less than 15O,-
600. In the second place it increased
appropriations for rivers and harbors
from $27,000,OOO to $4,000, 900 and
thus outraged Gen. c. G. Dawes and
disjointed the entire budget system.
Already the president was deeply
offended by the action of the house
in passing bill without providing
means for raising the necessary mon
ey. In view Of the fact that the ac-
tion today respecting the passage of
the armp appropriation bill will be
followed by passage of the navy ap-
preparation bill with the navy person.
mel reduced from 10000 to $4,000 men,
the president, it is said, has abandon
ed hope that the house may be safely
permitted to function without his in
terference. If the navy is reduced to
10000 men, Secretary DENLY says that
he can not operate, and the executive
calls attention to the fact that by such
reduction, the United States can not
maintain the stipulaed naval rela-
tionship with Great Britain and Japan
While the president, it is indicated,
will accept the houses gage of battle,
the manner in which he will strike is
not made known. 1t is regarded as GER
tain that he will veto the bonus bill.
1t will be difficult for him to eliminate
offending sections in the army and
navy appropriation bills, however,
without killing both bills, and both
must he enacted within reasonable
time in order that necessary payments
may be made. ,.sl.
f6s increase of sfS,ooo, 600 for ;.'i. riiv-
ers and harbors contained in the army
bill was made possible through prac-
tically solid Democratic vote. There
was the "pork barrel" charge, but
Southerners pointed out the fact that
the engineers had estimated that only
by an expenditure of $42,OOO,0O0
could they maintain existing projects
asthey should be maintained. South
erners are rejoiced at their victory
in that particular.

ARMY REDUCTION
WILL BE SERIOUS

Washington, March 29.-Stating
the army's case in opposition to fur
ther reductions in it's enlisted and
commissioned strength before Wash
ington newspaper correspondents
gathered at the national press club
tonight, General Pershing, chief of
staff, and Major General Harbord,
Deputy chief of staff, jointly deliver
ed their belief that the bill passed
today by the house limiting the army
to $4,000 men and 1000 officerSI
would work serious injury to the ma
tion's military policy and undermine
the best syystem of preparedness the
nation ever had.
Further reductions would be dis
astrous," General Pershing declared,
adding that such reductions would
Introduce an unwarranted element
of danger in our plan of national
defense"
General Harbord asserted that the
country travelled in vicious circle"
of unpreparedness and postwar
economy. Both officers asserted that
10000 men and 10000 officers were
absolutely essential to the nation 5
need at this time.
"a careful consideration of the
work in hand, if the initial well laid
scheme is not to be seriously cur
tailed and many essential activities
abandoned" General Pershing said
'leads inevitably to the conclusion
that any further reduction would be
disastrous"
Regarding the proposal to reduce
the overseas garrisons, he said that
the reduction can not be made with
out violating the soundest principles
of security. The size Of the peace
garrison recommended for Hawaii
and the Panama Canal Zone" Cen
eral Pershing added, "is the mini
mum with which their missions can
be performed. Any material de-
crease in their size will make them
ineffective and possibly invite attack.
The Importance of these possessions
in the plan of national defense, the
expense of maintaining them, the
fact that they must be defended by
the regular army, and the difficulty
of supplying adequate reinforce
nassstsssizl. an. renasrss sshaysp zail -defaapd
that the defending force be reason
ably effective and that the personnel
be definitely allocated from which
ever strength congress authorizes
for the regular army"
The loss Of the Panama canal, the
speaker declared, would be blow to
the pride of the American people and
from military point of view would
be a greater blow than the loss of
any other possession.

WILL COMPLETE
WILSON DAM UNIT

Florence, Ala, March 29.-Erorts
will be made Immediately to obtain an
appropriation to resume work within
60 days on the Wilson dam unit of
the governments Muscle Shoals war
plant, according to sentiment express
ed by members of the senate agri-
culture and house military commit
tees who tonight completed three
days survey of the entity.
"Opinion appears to have crystal
lied in that direction so rapidly since
we inspected the uncompetcd Wilson
dam," said Senator Norris, chairman
OF the senate committee. chat we
have not had time t othink of details
One thing is sure, however, the dam
will be built if this committee can
bring it about and l want to see the
government get in the river during
low water this spring"
Senator Norris declared that pros
rcctive purchasers or lcssees would
lose nothing by the government "go-
ing ahead in the work of completing
the project"
"There will be so much deterioration
if we delay that | am fully convinced
that we must get bacq on this jon
quickly, since it is determined that
nobody wants to see it scrapped," he
continued. The committee chairman
expressed himself in favor of the gov
crnment spending its own money and
doing its work in completing the one
unit.
Representative Hull Of the house
committee gave his opinion that the
government should start work this
spring "unless one Of the proposals
now before the committee is found to
be acceptable"
'In any event there should be no
delay" said Mr.. Hull, because at
least this unit of power on the Ten
nessee river must be developed. see
no reason for delay. If there is no
bid before us we can accept, we should
build the dam and while the work is
7 in progress we can find Il sati! !factory
and profitable way To dispose Of the
whole plant"

MANY TEXTILE
WORKER QUIT

Lawrence, Mass, March 29.-Morc
than so per cent of the number of
operatives normally employed in the
Lawrence textile mills were idle to-
night as Il result of the strike which
began Monday. The numbers of
strikers gained materially this morn
ing and during the day many left their
work. 1t was estimated that 1860
of the 20,60O normally employed were
idle tonight. Only one minor disorder
occurred during the day and this was
quickly stopped by police. A woman
picket attacked Il woman worker with
club but police intcrvencd and seri-
Gus trouble was avertcd.
The shutting down Of the Everett
Mills at noon today was regarded as
significant. Officials posted notices
that the mills had been shut down
indefinitely. Strike leaders claimed
that the small numbers of operatives
appearing for work had crippled every
department. The Everett mills nor
mally employ 1900 operatives.
At the Katama and Pemberton mills
today fewer than so per cent of the
normal force was at work.
Strike leaders claimed that only 100
operatives of the l.250 employed by
the Arcadia mills were at work this
afternoon. Officials said the mills
would continue to remain open for any
operatives who wished To go To WORK.
Officials of the Pacific mills admit
ted serious losses to their operating
force during the day but declared the
mills would remain open for the re-
mainder of the week, at least. II was
estimated that $500 were at work
there late today.
The Arlington mills, employing L.
$50 operatives and the Methuen COM
rany mills, employing $50, have been
shut down since the beginning of the
strike. The former did not join in
the wage cut. This afternoon several
hundred strike sympathizcrs paraded
to police headquarters. Three or four
leaders entered and complained that
police had roughly used several Of the
strike sympathizers and that clubs
had been needlessly employed. After
conference the crowd dispersed and
leaders declared they swerS satisfied
