MINORITY REPORT

SEVEN U. S. SENATORS
DECLARE.
OBJECTIONS ARE APPARENT
Ford Can Reduce Price OF Fertilizer,

Washington.-A minority report
from the agricultural committee, urg-
ing the acceptance of Henry Ford 8
offer for the warIbuilt government nj
trate plant and its water power prof
ects at Muscle Shoals, Ala, has been
submitted to the Senate by Senator
Ladd, republican, North Dakota, in be-
half of himself and Republican and
Democratic colleagues on the commit
tee who favor that course. The re-
port was presented without comment
in the Senate and with the two other
reports from the committee awaits
Senate action.
The Ladd report, in addition to
recommending acceptance of the
Ford project despite certain objec-
tions' which it said seem apparent, !"
took direct issue with the proposals
in the separate report of Chairman
Norris, Republican, Nebraska, of the
committee for government owner

plant.
For Congress to adopt such a pol

unnecessary for the government to

people"
Senator Ladd and his colleagues
said it had been claimed the Ford
offer constituted subsidy to Mr..
Ford and added that If it was to mot
be supported on grounds OF subsidy,
how can the American people support
such a subsidy to ship operators as is
here proposed?"
Those signing the report, besides
Senator Ladd. were Senator Capper
Republican. Of Kansas, and the fol
lowing democrats: Harrison of Missis
sippi; Caraway of Arkansas, Ransdell
of Louisiana, Smith of South Caro-
lima and Heflin of Alabama

sUsPENDs PAYMENT OF PRE-WAR
DEBTS TO TEUToNs EFFEc-
TivELY IMMEDIATELY,
LAPSE OF PAYMENTS CAUSE.
Germany's Refusal To Pay Her Pre-
War Debts Brings Similar Move,
But France Hints at More
Drastic Steps to Follow,

Paris.-Premier Poincare has noti-
fled the German embassy at Paris that
the first of series of measures to con-
serve French interests against lapse
in Germany's pre-war debt payments
would be put into effect Immediately.
The notice followed the receipt of a
note from Germany refusing to meet
the $2,000,000 installment of these
French citizens due August Is.
The first of French measures con-
sists of the immediate suspension of
all payments to German nationals for
debts contracted with Frenchmen be-
fore the war, both in France and AL
sace-Lorraine. The offices in Paris
and Strasburg which were set up to
liquidate these debts were notified to
cease functioning at once and to pay
no more German claims until further
orders from the premier.
The initial measures also include the
suspension of all further payments to
Germans for German property seques.
tered in France. This property in.
cludes estates, villas, art collections,
etc.
The agreement reached at Baden,
Baden under which Germans were be-
ing compensated for the house furnish.
ings, stocks, bonds and cash left in
Alsace and Lorraine also is sus-
pended.
1t was explained at the foreign of
flee that these first measures taken
are not penalties in the strictest sense
of the word, but merely action to safe.
guard the French interests which have
been jeopardized by the Germans re,
frsing to pay.
Official circles said that France now
could await some move by Germany.
II Belgium and Great Britain, as
has been indicated, desired to forego
payments from Germany on the prt
vate debts due their nationals, this
will have no effect on the French posi-,
tion. it was declared. France will in
sist on the payment of these claims,
despite any moratoriums that the Lon
don conference may decide to grant, II
was added, and If Germany does not
meet the French demands the meas.
ures taken will become progressively
more severe.

A COMPROMISE GIVES STRIKERS
A WAGE OF SEVENTY CENTS
AN HOUR.
"AUT0 PIRATES" WERE BUSY
Girls Assaulted After Entering Bogus
Taxicabs-Hard-Boi Strike
breakers Had Begun to Ar
rive In Large Numbers.

Chcago.-Chicago's traction strike
was settled when the company agreed
to pay the men 20 conts an hour, with
an eight-hour day. This was consid-
cred acceptable by the union chiefs
and they accepted it on behalf of the
men. Under the rules of the union,
the proposition must go to referen-
dunn vote, but this Is considered for
mality and is now in progress.
The men had been getting so cents
an hour and the company proposed to
cut them to 65 cents an hour.
The information was speedily dis,
seminated throughout the city by the
blowing of whistles, the screeching of
thousands of automobile horns and a
system of fireworks signals from the
municipal pier.
Meanwhile Chicago continued to am
blecheerily about without surface or
elevated cars, making it's way in auto
mobiles, trucks, suburban trains, coast
wise boats, bicycles, roller skates and
horse-drawn vehicles.
Perhaps the most serious aspect of
the strske was the warning given by
large department stores and other
business establishments that they
would be compelled to dismiss hun
dreds of employees Saturday, unless the
strike was settled or assurance given
that it would be settled in day or so.
The great stores have been practically
deserted for the last three days.
One Of the despicable developments
of the strike is the appearance in in
creasing numbers of hoodlums and
auto pirates" who take advantage
of girlswho are seeking to get to and
from their work. These pirates" usu-
ally work in bands of three, a driver
and two men In the tonneau. If girl
accepts their invitation to be trans
ported to her work or to her home
once inside the car it is driven to some
alley or the prairie and the girl ID at.
tackled. In one case four of these hood
lums, evidently intoxicated, shot one
of four girls after they had refused to
enter the car. Other cases were re-
ported by girls who had been attack
ed and thrown from the cars at some
lonely spot.
A thirst for adventure and an insa-
table craving for excitement of the
spectacular sort, involving the risk OF
life and limb, accounts for the increas
ing number of advsnturers arriving in
the city, eager for a job as strike
breakers. These "hard-boiled" veter.
ans come from New York City, Cleve
land and other points, and they are
"rarin'" to go. They have no home
but flock to any place that promises q
battle. Money seems nothing to them
They are scrappers from the toes ur
and they go where there is a fight
purely from the love OF fighting.
