something wrong with them.

Mr. Coolidge let it be known that
he cannot understand WHY Chair
man O'Connor of the shipping board
is planning to withdraw the giant
steamer Levia'han from the govern

intimated in dispatches
The President thinks that such
withdrawal would cause n large loss
to the government and he regards
it as in opposition to his policy of

1t was pointed out that shipping
is a highly competitive industry and
intimated that this report might be
propaganda for the purpose of dam

In regard to the ''big army talk

that the military chiefs will be able

BR|TONS BLAMED
IN RUBBER TROUBLE
Plea to State Department
Due to Suggestion by
Coolidge.

Difficulties of the American rubber
interests because Of the unprecedented
rise in the price of crude rubber were
laid before the State Department to-
day by committee headed by Fred
erick G. Hood, president of the Hood
Rubber Co, Of Watertown, N. Y.
The conference with Secretary Kel-
logg was held at the invitation of
President Coolidge.
1t was contended by the committee
that the high prices are due to re-
strictions imposed by British interests
which control the crude rubber sup
ply. 1t was not charged, however,
that there was any discrimination
against America, as the restrictions
applied generally.
Other members of the committee
were A. L. Viles, general manager of
the Rubber Association of America,
Inc, and Edward c. German, presi-
dent of the Dunlop Tire and Rubber
Corporation.
A memorial prepared in the name of
the rubber association was left with
Secretary Kellogg, who assured the
committee 1t would be given careful
consideration. No indication was given,
however, of the means by which the
Government might seek relief for the
American rubber industry through
diplomatic channels.
