Senate Refuses to Interfere
 With Policy

Washington. Apri! oG P'-After a Hectic ten-day struggle, the senate has beaten a series of attempts to forestall American armed expedl- tionS abroad.
 The action, which started a con- troversy among senators as 10 whether it constituted an endorse ment of the administrations Nica- raguan policy, came late yesterday as the senate passed the S3G3, ,0O0,- coo naval appropriation bill and thereby cleared it's decks of all de- partment supply measures.
 Three amendments designed to place limitations around the 1e of American marines in Nicaragua were voted down in rapid order and by big margins prior to final pas sage of the measure itself.
 One provides that the marines be withdrawn by February l, when their duty of supervising the next presidential elections in that coun- try will have been carried out and the new administration installed, was defeated, 52 to 22, seven demo- crats joining the 15 republicans in support. and 19 democrats lining up with 33 republicans against.
 Chairman Borah of the foreign relations committee. who has differ ed with the administration on Mica ragua. was among those voting in opposition, but he said the result could not be interpreted as one oi approval of the administration policy of intervention and elections supervision.
 A different view was taken hN Senators Norris and Wheeler. demo. cratA Montana, who held it consti. tuted blanket endorsement of sucl policy.
 The other two amendments. re jected by even more decisive majori ties. were proposed by democrats.
 One, by Mckellar, of Tennessee defeated, 53 to 20, would have re uuired the consent of congress fo the maintenance of marines in th >eltidl AuIeii itaH No"h's "A''' '' ruary, except that troops could b landed temporarily for the protec ton of lives and property "unde international law or the Monro Doctrine'

UNEMPLOYMENT BLAMED ON MACHINE
EFFICIENCY

By JAMES J. DAVIS. Secretary of Labor.
(James J. Davis was born in Tredegar, S. Wales,
IN 1878, and came TO this country with his parents
in 1881. Davis worked as a ~puddler's assistant in
an iron works at Sharon, Pa, and at the age of
Is became a puddler. In 1888 he moved to Elwood,
Ind and worked in steel and tin plate mills for
several years. Davis served AZ city clerk in Elwood
from 1898 to 1902. and as recorder of Madison
county, Indiana, from 1908 to 1907. He was ap-
pointed secretary Of labor by the late President
Harding. Davis has been director general of the
Loyal Order Of Moose, since 1900.
OF late, we have found a brand-new industrial
worry. the consequences of which we did not foresee
in our earlier days Of rejoicing. / refer to labor-saving
machinery, which despite its wonderful efficiency and
its energy-saving virtues. is beginning to load us down
with increasing unemployment.
Some of our joy over the great inventive genius Of
our masters Of mechanics has been turning to grief, rs
We witness yearly the growing line Of job-seekers-
men-trained acknowledged men of experience and
extraordinary qualifications. who have been forced
away from their trades and vacations by labor saving
machinery.
We were not prepared to take care Of the man who
was displaced. We were highly gleeful when our new
machine did the work of twenty men; but we had no
places for the nineteen whom the machine processes
turned out into the open world, with the necessity Of
beginning all over again staring them in their honest
faces.
1t seems to me that this is a phase Of industrial
proficiency which bids TO exact too heavy a toll in the
years to come. unless We get busy and invent new in
I~dustries for the fellow whom the machine
stunts aside. The unemployed man produces nothing
and consumes little or nothing: because he Is with
out means to purchase that which the worker. r mr.
ducing.
Until he is placed in employment again he must re-
main a stranger to the buying market. In the mean
time the community must care for him and his family

VINO desire to avail themselves Of new labor-sav;ny

speed and safety are meant to c~orrelate. not to de-

Predict Smith Majority on
First Vote

Governor Alfred Smith will have . clear majority
on the first vote in the democratic national convention
at Houston is the prediction of New York leaders, who
assert the New Yorker will receive the necessary two
thirds on the fifth or sixth ballot.
Estimates compiled by the Smith leaders give the
New York governor SIS votes on the first ballot. The
Smith reserve strength is estimated at las. doubtful
152. and opponents 224. There will be 100 delegates
in the convention. Eight Of the southern states are
conceded to Smiths opponents, with Louisiana, Texas
North Carolina and Missouri rated in the doubtful
column. Arkansas is the only southern state placed in
the Smith reserve column. The New Yorker expects
to split the Florida delegation and secure four of the
twelve delegates. and Smith leaders are confident that
Texas will line up with the Smith forces on the fourth
or fifth ballot.
Close friends Of the New York governor have an
nounced he viii not permit a deadlock such as arose in
the 1924 convention, and that he would regard a nomi-
nation after a prolonged fight and deadlock as a thing
Of no value, 90 far as any chance of election is con-
concerned. Smith will withdraw If there is any indi-
cation Of . deadlock. his supporters assert, and viii
probably 80 to Houston for the express puWese Of
preventing q repetition Of the Madison Square Garden
contest, which he asserts prevented a democratic vic
tory in 1924.
Smith leaders have announced they will nominate
John w. Davis, democratic nominee for president in
1924. for the ehairmanship, and the first contest be-
tween the opposing forces will follow this nomination.
Former Governor James NJ. Cox Of Ohio will be the
choice of the Smith forces for temporary chairman, and
Senator Robinson, who is not an active Smith sup
porter, has been suggested as permanent chairman of
the national committee.
A hard battle is expected to be wsged by the Smith
forces In Missouri, Iowa and Texas. Senator Reed is
expected to secure the Missouri delegation. and Texas
as the host state is not expected to impose the unit
rule. The Iowa delegation will probably vote for some
other candidate on the first ballot. but all three states
are expected to be in the Smith lineup by the fourth
ballot.
The battle Of the convention will be waged between
northern and southern democracy, with the northern
wing well organized for Smith. and the southern fac
ton disoreanired and voting for "favorite sons" DEM
ocratic leaders in all states are extremely anxious to
prevent q deadlock such as virtually wrecked the party
in 1924, and this fear Of a deadlock, Smith supporters
state, will doubtless result in early selection of the
party's candidate.
