One Measure Eliminates the Gorgas Plant From Con- tract Agreed Upon by
 Auto Manufacturer
By Associated Press

Washington. June 5.-Two bids authorizing Secretary Weeks to ex- ecute contracts with Henry Ford and transfer to him the governments S106,00O, ,00O power and nitrate proj- ects at Muscle Shoals were intro- duced today in the House by mem- bers of the military committee.
 One presented by Acting Chairman Mckenzie of Illinois provided for the acceptance of Mir. Ford's offer for the property on condition that Gorgas steam plant be excluded. The other. submitted by Representative V ieh,. democrat Georgia, called for 4ean ditional compliance with the srm4 of the Ford proposal.
 House republican leaderf aHr nounced that action on the mt snesl would be deferred at least UT l1- livery of reports by their thpra explaining them in detail and that time would be allowed the House 4 analyze each of the documents aff that had been accomplished. t v71 said q decision would be made aI 1 when actual consideration of tle Qrfr posed legislation would begin

 Both Factions Confident
 A struggle on each of these l94 tions was predicted before q Nag vote on the acceptance or rel 11 of either bill was reached. Bot &e tens appeared confident they would win.
 Majority leader, Mondeli, call 9 tention today to the difficultie perienced by the committee ouf'A@ the more than three months 1t wofi on the various proposals.

 Some House members pointed out that If the s7,500,00 appropriation for continuing work on the Wilson dam voted by the Senate as an amendment to the army bill, was adopted by the House 1t would still further influence sentiment favoring a postponement of acton on the bills at this session of congress.
 Southern members interested in bringing the subject before the House for quick decision, announced they would geek special rule if any con- siderable delay developed in bringing the bills before the House. Congress would not adjourn if 1t was in their | power to prevent. they said, without passing some legislation for Muscle Shoals development.

 During the strike, lawiessness pre- vailed and property damage was done the Coronado and other mines controlled by the Bache- -Denman Coal company. The United Mine Workers of America contested the jurisdiction of the federal courts on the ground that being an unincorporated as-s sociation of mine workers. it was not subject to prosecution under the sherman antitrust law.
 Five Questions Presented
 Five questions were presented by the controversy. Chief Justice Taft said. First. whether there had been correct selection of the parties to be sued; second, whether the par ties not being incorporated, were subJect to suit; third. whether the United Mine Workers of America had been engaged in a conspiracy or m the destruction of property for which that organization and it's officers could be held liable; fourth, whether there Q evidence to show that the conspiracy alleged did restrain or mcnopolize interstate commerce; and fifth. whether the trial court. in charging the jury. had coerced them into returning the verdict.

HARDING PROTESTS AGAINST REDUCING
 STANDING FORCES
Urges Senator Warren to h. sist Upon the Large Army Measure Approved by
 Upper House
By Associated Press

Washington, June 5.--Prcsi-
 dent Harding in a letter today to
 Chairman Warren of the Senate
 appropriations urged retention
 in the army appropriation bills
 of provisions for officers enlisted
 personnel and national guard
 voted by the Senate and opposed
 the smaller provisions of the
 House bill.
 The President said he thought the day might come when the army and military forces generally could be further reduced but added that for that time I've must await fuller re- adjustment and more stable condt- tions."
 T feel" he wrote. "that the de- velopment of our national defense system under the national defense act is of the utmost importance and I am satisfied that the allowances made represent the minimum under which even the most conservative and modest program of development Is possible.'
 The Presidents letter was received at the capitol simultaneously with the beginning of the conference be- tween House and Senate delegations on the bill and served to bolster the Senate conferees who went in to the negotiations backed up by a two to one vote of their body in support of the larger army.
 MT. Harding expressed the fear that were the House provisions to prevail the training and progress of the whole defense system would be seri- ously impaired. He declared this par ticularly would be true if any cut were made from the Senate appro- priation for the national guard.
 Provisions Too Small
 The House provision, he said. was SD small that 1t would result in deny ing the benefits of summer training to many of the guard and he therefore supported the Senate item of s9,500,- 900 as against the House provision of s6,50o,000.
 Provision for training a limited number of reserve officers also is es- sential. MT. Harding declared, If any thing is to be made of that branch. The President added that he regretted there was not a greater provision made for giving them training than was offered even in the Senate amendments "as the government has thus far done nothing to encourage them In their voluntary services He declared. however. that the Senate provision did offer the basis for the beginning of training and would all low 10000 of the 6o.o0o men to have 15 days of the training while under the House allowance nothing worth while could be done"
 Turning to the subject of the regu- lar army. MT. Harding said the regu- lar establishment must supply not only the office personnel it needs. but provide officers of the more impor- tant duties in connection with the development of the national guard, the organized reserve and the sys- em of voluntary military training.
