REJECTION OF WAGE CUT
/ SENTIMENT OF WORKERS
AT LEWISTON MEETING
Would Cut
Ford Lease
To5O Years

Washington, Feb. 9.-The advisable
ity of reducing the time clause in
Henry Ford's offer for the lease Of the
Muscle Shoals. Ala, government-owned
lands from 100 to so years was ques-
toned indirectly today by Maj. Gen.
Lansing II. Beach, chief of army en-
gincers, in testimony before the
House military committee. Referring
to the general policy Of the govern
ment not to lease its properties for a
period exceeding so years. General
Beach in his testimony at the second
day Of the hearings of the committee
on the Ford proposal for the lands and
plants at Muscle Shoals said that ut
is not always advisable to apply one
general rule to things big and small"
Secretary Weeks, who was heard by
the committee yesterday, declared re-
be unwiSe to permit the lease of public
lands or properties to private interests
for so long a period as 100 years.
1t was his belief, the general said,
that in disposing Of the properties at
Muscle Shoals the paramount consid-
Grafton should be the effect upon tho
ration's defense rather than the man
said, should not be Caught again"
without an adequate nitrate supply.
The disadvantages of installing
power plants in Alabama and estab-
fishing a market for their output were
dwelt upon by the engineer chief. He
said it would be comparatively easy
to install a plant at Niagara Falls
with market close by. but it was
quite another feat from the standpoint
Of time to do so in a sparsely settled
region like that about Muscle Shoals.
with only four cities within reason
able distance.
The engineer officer was preceded
on the witness stand by Maj. Gen. Will
liams. chief of ordnance, who occu-
l,ed the greater part of the days ses-
sions explaining valuation of proper
ties involved in the Ford offer.
He estimated that the water power
plant and transmission line could be
salvaged for .SS,000,COo That figaro
was threc-fifths of all that Mr. Ford
had offered for the nitrate plants and
other properties. These properties. it
was estimated. had a scrap value 10
the government of $4,000 and
would be worth s16,272,000 if made
partially operative and the remainder
salvaged.
General Williams added. in response
to questions. that it was intended 70
complete the Wilson dam and ma,I-
tain nitrate plant No. in the event
private development failed.
Chairman Kahn received word to-
day that Mr.. Ford would not appear
personally before the committee, hut
would send properly accredited repre-
sentatives A telegram from L. &.
Liebold. secretary to Mr.. Ford, said
w. B. Mayo. and J. w. WorthingtGn
would be delegated to act for the
manufacturer. and 1t was learned later
they were requested 10 be present ut
Mondays sessions. Both are consid-
cred to be fully advised on every
provision of the offer.

Senator Ashurst inquired whether

remarks of Senator Reed. Democrat,

that the Republicans did not"

President w. L. Rces Of tho Arkan-

organization, in Pueblo during the
carly portion OF the coming month.
The exact date has not yet been
determined. but IL will not be on a
Saturday as heretofore.
Another change in the program will
be a full days session instead of but
half a day: this change in program
is largely because many OF the coun-
ty commissioners and other officers
of the thirteen counties in the district
have expressed the desire TO bring
their wives with them, but stated that
Saturday was not an advantageous
time of the week for the women TO do
their shopping and get home before
Sunday.
Also heretofore the meetings have
been called to order in the afternoon
and that did not give sufficient time
to do the associations work. let alone
transactinE business here.
So tho coming meeting will be call
cd to order in the forehoon of some
day before Saturday. and II Is assurcd
that members of tho organization will
bring their wives who can do their
shopping while the men arc meeting.
