FORD'S OFFER
IS BLOCKED

Washington, March 7.-Chairman
Kahn of the house military committee
today told w. B. Mayo, chief of en-
gineers for Henry Ford, that it
would require years to thresh out cx-
listing legal entanglements and it was
doubtful even then that the govern
mcnt would be able to accept the De-
troit manufacturers proposed con-
tract for purchase and lease of the
nitrate and power projects at Muscle
Shoals.
After the committee adjourned 9TH
or committee members said the legal
barriers to acceptance of the Ford
proposal appeared unacceptable be-
cause of the contracts held by the
Alabama Power company and the Air
Nitrate corporation which, those con-
;erns claim, give them exclusive
rights to purchase the Warrior steam
plant and nitrate plant No. 9, respec-
lively. Both units would be delivered
to Mr.. Ford with free titles in the
event his proposal was accepted and
.oUlG not be free from the contrac;
conditions without prolonged litigatir
in the courts.
The discussion of the legal difficult
ties in the committee in considering
the Muscle Shoals situation developed
after Mr.. Mayo ard Gray Silver
Washington representative of the
American Farm Bureau federation
had presented three alterations which
they said Mr.. Ford had agreed tc
make in his original offer for tn,
shoals projects. The first alteration
provided for fixed capitalization of
not less than Sl0.OOO,OOO for the com
pany Mr.. Ford would create to OPP
crate the Alabama enterprise. The
amendment was suggested by Secre-
tary Weeks when he submitted tn,
bid TO congress in order to safeguard
the government interests agains.
failure of the operating company to
carry out the contracts in good faith
for the 100 years it would he effect,
i've.
mother amendment offered by Mr..
Mayo was guarantee to manufac-
tu:c Commercial fertilizer" rather
than nitrates and "other COM
pounds" while the third proposed to
give authority to the company's di
recting board TO regulate the delivery
of the fertilizers direct from factory
to consumer, making it impossible for
intermediary agents to handle tn
products and increase the price to thu
tanners above the 8 per cent profit
charged by the manufacturing com
pany.
These amendments were welcomed
hy the committee although som
members expressed regret that NJ
Ford had refused to accept n so yea
lease and had insisted upon the TO-
year cluase. Representative Green

COTHRAN HEARS
STREET CAR CASE

week, Associate Justice T. p. Goth
ran stated tonight, following the

tion by the Columbia Railway, Gas

ployees in the Columbia street car

arbitration bill enacted q few days
ago by the South Carolina General
Assembly.

the entire morning. j. B. S. Lyles
appeared for the street railway com
pany and. ID. W. Robinson for tn 4,
striking employees. +. II. Knox, gen
eral manager of the street railway
lines, was also present at the hear
ing.
The contention that the Gerald ar
bitration bill is unconstitutional and
that the railway company can not be
legally forced to arbitrate with the
strikers was the principal argument
advanced by counsel for the railway,
which is seeking to have Mr.. Mccain
prohibited from going ahead with the
arbitration of the strike under the
terms of the Gerald act.
The Gerald act was signed by Gov
error Cooper February "a and pro
vides for the arbitration of the diff
fercnces between the Columbia Rail
way, Gas and Electric company and
the striking employees. The en-
rlcyces sought to have arbitration
commence Immediately under the
terms of the measure, but upon peti-
ton of the railway company Mr. Nc
Cain was ordered to show cause be-
fore Justice Cothran here today why
a writ of prohibition should not be-
issued
