OFFICIALS
PREPARE TO ASK
ADDITIONAL MEN
Congress- is Asked to Authorize Naval Increase OF lOoOu
Department Heads Declare fresen' 6"fensa
of NAVY is Inadequate For National Defense /
CBy United Press.)

Washington, Sept. 5.-A renewal OF
the fight in congress for even turtner
reductions of the nations armed
strength was foreseen today as the
nIvv department prepared to ASK
congress for an increase Of lO,OOO
over the present authorized persohnel
of $4,000.
NAVY department heads, expecting
that their request will be the signai
for demands for a reduction instead OF
an increase, are preparing data TO
prove that the present naval strength
is inadequate for national deiehse.
The additional men will be asked
primarily to provide personnel for the
sbins 70 be added to the fleet next
vnar These include the two new
dreadnaughts Colorado and West Vlr
Ginia. most of the ten light cruisers
now being built, and some new suoma.
rines. "
All these are included in the naval
program which was approved at the
arms conference. ,.
Pint even without the new vessels
navy heads will tell congress, the oo,-
600 personnel allowed is hardly ade-
ouate TO man the ships of the navy:
One reason for this, it was pointed
out is that the enlistments Of $4,000
men expire this year. That VIII mean
thousands of new, unframed recruits
Who will not be so efficient as the men
whose places they will take
Nl,.ooa+ae of the strictest govern
,,ental economy. together with those
favoring disarmament to an even even
greater degree than that brought
about by the arms conference, are pre-
pairing to resist the navy's arguments
by contending:
That it is not necessary Tor the
navy to be fully manned in peace time
That many of those whose eniist-
ments will expire will re-enlist.
That this is no time TO increase per,
sonnel in either branch Of the armed
forces of the country.

Geneva. Sept. 5.-The League of
Nations today planned to launch a
practical world wide disarmament
program.
So strong is the disarmament senti-
ment among the nations attending
the meeting here that the session may
well be considered a second arms par
ley which will probably enlarge in
scope the work of the Washington
conference.
The disarmament program will be
presented to the League by Lord
Robert Cecil, and will include world
wide defensive alliance and non-ag-
gression pact. This, it is insisted by
the delegates, will give eIch county
the consciousness of security neces-
sary to permit the reduction of arm
ament.
The plan fixes the military unit
at 10000 and then assigns to each
nation the number of units it may
maintain. When units are assigned
the needs of defense and geographic
al position will be taken into con-
sideration.
For example, under the proposed
plan, Portugal would be allowed ar
army of one unit, or 10000 and
France six units, or 100000 men. The
limitation of armament budgets, the
suppression of the use of gas, the
control of the traffic in arms and
other kindred subjects are to be con-
sidered under the disarmament pro-
gram.
One of the first acts of the lea
que was to ask England, Australia
and New Zealand for additional in
formation concerning the island OF
Mauru, former German possession
which has been inundated to Eng
land. The League, in doing this
control of the traffic in arms, and
spirit of the mandate has been violat-
ed.
1t was discovered that the island
is solid bed of phosphate, enough
to supply the needs of the world for
two hundred years. This was not
generally known at the time Eng
land was granted the mandate.
Secretary of State Hughes, after
receiving knowledge of the phosphate
deposit, put in a formal claim for
the protection of American interests

Washington. Sept. 5.-The govern
ment will not attempt to "abndge
the constitutional liberties" Of strik-
inc shODmen by a too rigid enforce
orent of the Daugherty injunction, II
was said at the White House today.
The only purpose of the injunction
il was declared, is to prevent inter-
ference in Interstate Commerce.
II was indicated that the govern
ment will not attempt to prevent

New York. Sept. 5.-MOvement for
a general strike of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in protest against
the Daugherty injunction was started
here today.

Federation. will be asked in resolu-
tion to be presented at q special meet
ing of the trades and labor couneli
tonight to call u convention In Ne"

The resolution was drawn up at a

bership of 800, 900 workers. Pledges
Of various locals of unions here to aid
the striking railroad shOpworkers and
to fight the injunction granted IN
Chicago TO Daugherty, which pronl-
bits leaders from conducting the
strike, total thousands of dollars. 1t
was predicated that a 100000 war
chest will be raised this week.
1t was understood that process SER
vers were here seeking strike leaders
to serve notices of the injunction on
them. As far as could be aScertalned,
none of the leaders could be located.
Evasion of the Injunction by turn
ing over TO union leaders, not con-
nccted with the shopmen's union, the
conduct Of the strike was suggested
ut the secret councils held.
Ii was pointed out by leaders that
in this case Daugherty would have
to get out injunction against so many
that ne would be presented with an
almost hopeless task.
Washington, Sept. 5.-EXtension Of
the Daugherty injunction to bring
within its scope all persons who give
aid in any form to the 100000 strik-
ing railroad shopmen was discussed
by President Harding and his cabinet
today.
Broadening of the injunction was
declared by one cabinet member ne
ceSsary to silence leaders Of non-strik-
ing unions who have continued to
send public and private messages of
support and sympathy to the shop
mems leaders ever since the iniunc-
tion was issued.
Sharp differences of opinion pre-
vail among cabinet members as to
the extent to which the restrictive
power of the injunction should be in
creased. Two members were under

sion. All were agreed. including the

Joint conference committee decided
today.
Senator SmoOt, Utah, joined with
four House conferences is blocking
consideration of tho bonus, while SEN
ators McCumber. Simmons and Walsh
of Massachusetts supported the mo-
ton to dispIace the tariff. The vote
was ) to 3.
This means that the tariff which
is expected to be reported out the
latter part of this week viii be held
continuously before the committee.
No effort now can be made to work
on the bonus report until the tariff IS
out of the way.
The tariff was held before the COM
mittee because of encouraging speed
with which conferees are ,disposing of
it. it was said.
1t was announced by the Republi-
can members of the conference that
an agreement for disagreement
on the tariff bill would be submitted
by the end of this week.
Unless the question of valuations
can be settled amicably it was be-
lieved that the conference would re-
port disagreement and send the bill
back to both houses of congress for
further inspection.
Should this be done the tariff would
be delayed indefinitely as neither
house is believed to be in a concilia-
tory mood on tariff valuations.
