WORKING FOR CESSATION
 OF HoSTILTTTES IN IRELAND


 Dublin, Dec Is (By the A. PD.-Th0 committee appointed by the senate to en- deavor to bring about an immediate ces- sation of hostilities throughout the Free State is not regarded her with hope The committee has no government prompting or authority and is merely renewal of the frequent fruitless attempts at peace making between the discordant factions
 2, In the senate tonight one of the mem- bers of the committee, Mir. Douglas, an- nounced that the committee would not issue any statement regarding it's activi- ties. The Free State government has not yet modified it's insistence on absolute surrender by the republicans and the yielding uD of their arms.
 The only persons with whom any fruit ful negotiations could take place are per- sons liable to immediate arrest, and, hav- ing regard for recent happenings, it iS cunsidered that they will not be likely to risk revealing their whereabouts. The committees proceedings therefore must be in secret.
 The cost of installing the new gover- nor-general in the former viceregal lodge was the subject of strong protests fr.m the laborites in the Dail Eireann to1Gy.
 The estimates provide 10000 pounds for the upkeep of the governor-generars establishment. The laborites objected to this price for putting Tim Healy in" and moved to spend only 1000 pounds.
 President Cosgrave said the treaty and constitution placed upon the government the responsibility of housing the gover- nor general. He challenged the laborites to find suitable establishment for less money.
 The laborites took up the challenge. At IZl H. csV guarding would be done by the army. Tom. Johnson, the labor leader, pointed out that the 1000 pounds only covered four months and that the annual expendi- ture might be between SO;O00 pounds and 4O, 900 pounds The object of the govern ment, he said, was clearly to go as far as possible towards setting up viceregal court.
 President Cosgrave ridiculed the charge. The entire viceregal establish ment now consists of three soldiers, and it was at his own request that Governor General Healy had gone to the lodge, he said. Thirteen deputies voted for the reduction and thirty-three against. Deputies showed some sensitivenesS as to whether the Free State was being given the same treatment as the other 1 dominions by the British government MT JoLhdSon' TeLeFTIlS lo fOIlheE [ EFHhe Minister Lloyd Georges promise to keep 1 the dominion rremiers fully and conf dentially infomed of British foreign poli- ,cy, asked whether MT.

LafOIIette tOAttack
 Shipping Bill Today
Measure Was Alternately Praised and Condemned in Senate Yesterday.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The administra- tfon shipping bill held up before the senate today as a measure Igor the ben eft of the American farmer, the Amer lean business man and the American nation" and on the other hand, "as a direct raid on the-treasury to pay some people to do what they ought to do without payment"
 The measure was praised by Senator Jones, of Washington, chairman of the commerce committee, and was attacked by Senator Fletcher, of Florida, ranking democratic member of the same com mittee,
 Foes of the measure and advocates of rural credits legislation further cement ed their alliance designed to displace the ship bill in favor of the farm 'neasure.
 Indications became increasingly appar- entr however, that this move could not
 be made in the near future, as no rural credit bill possessing any considerable degree of support appeared in sight in the senate committee work rooms. Senator Jones in concluding his state nent appealed for support of farmers and labor. He emphasized the national defense possibilities of a merchant ma rlne and declared the German merchant marine won the war for the allies. When senatores expressed surprise at the dec laration he. presented figures to show i that German ships which were seized ir i American ports carried 6O0,0 GOO Ameri. can soldiers to France, whereas Amer. i ican ships transported only \24S,00 ; troops.
 i Senator Fletcher quoted Chairman 1 Lasker of the shipping board as having i said that "it is pure bunk to charge 1 that the cost of operating American ships was increased materially by tht i LaFoliette seamens act. He asserted that his investigation had convinced hin 1 there was no practical difference in tn, cost of operating vessels under tn,
 American flag as compared with tll0s'
