REPRODUCTION
HIGHEST SINCE 50.
Split With A. F. of |. Widens
as Schedules Are Speeded
in Detroit.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, March 9.-The paths Of
the American Federation OF Labor
and the automobile manufacturers
drew further apart today as the latter
headed into their busiest Spring since
1880.
Looking toward a 1885 production
total of at least 3.350,000 units and
in possession of the Automobile Labor
Boards report showing only minority
of the industry's workers afflliated
with the A. F. Of L.. the manufac-
turers have hatly informed the fed
Grafton it has no Just claim to be
spokesman for the automobile workers
generally"
The position of the manufacturers
was set forth yesterday IN a COM
munication sent to William Green. A.
F. of L. president, by Alfred Reeves,
vice president of the Automobile
Manufacturers Association.
Called Agsressor.
Reeves told Green that the A. r.
of L. has declared itself aggressor
against the pace Of the industry"
Confronted with this communica-
ton, Green today was planning con-
ference with Francis j. Dillon, Detroit
A. F. of L. organizer, and the Auto
Labor Council before revealing his
next step. The federation through its
National Council of United Automo-
bile Workers Federal Labor Unions is
now engaged in taking a strike vote
among l76 locals.
At Washington yesterday Green said
the question of whether the fedora
ton would sanction a strike in the
automobile industry depends on the
outcome of this vote.
Represent Only Part.
These locals, on the basis of latest
figures from the Automobile Labor
Board, represent only a fractional
part Of the automobile workers. With
114,656 workers polled in collective
committee elections, only
Gill have indicated themselves afiili-
ated with the A. F. of L.
Manufacturing activity in the auto
motive industry has been on the up
grade since the first of the year.
Typical of this trend was yesterdays
by General Motors
Corp. that it sold 77,297 cars and
trucks in February, an increase Of 81
per cent over the same month in
1884. The Ford Motor Co. has an
its February production in
the United States as l26,646 units,
with a March United States produc-
ton schedule of 100000 units. the
largest months production schedule
since June, 1880.

ARMY BILL PASSED.
BY SENATE, 68-15
Sent to Conference for
Agreement on Authority
for EnIistmentS.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

The $4,000 900 War Department
supply bill for the year beginning
July l. including authority to add
46,25O men to the standing Army.
Is on its way to conference, having
passed the Senate late yesterday,
68 to IS.
The increase in the size Of the
Army has been approved by both
Houses. and on this part Of the bill
the only issue in conference will be
whether the President should be given
discretionary power to say when the
new men could be enlisted. BY re-
moving that provision from the House
bill. the Senate gave the War De-
partment authority to make the en-
liStmentS.
The question Of enlarging the Army
provoked a lively debate in the Senate
Thursday, between those who called
the present enlisted strength "skele-
ton '~-ce" and those who see no con-
di' iustifying the increase The
A. 1t present consists of l18.750
Ms nd would be raised by the bill
to 10000. Supporters of the bill
pointed out this would still leave the
Army well under the authorized
strength Of 100000 contemplated by
the national defense act.
Largest in Years
The bill as a whole is the largest for
the War Department in recent years.
exceeding current appropriations by
$45 100000. Vigorous complaint was
heard In the Senate for several days
against the increase in expenditures.
The roll call in final passage, however,
showed q decisive majority.
Senator King, Democrat Of Utah, .
persistent foe Of increased Govern
ment expenditures, made a futile effort
to have the bill recommitted for revi-
sion downward. While most of the
money is for the military establish
ment, the bill also carries some nom
military activities. such as river and
harbor work, flood control and main
tenance of the Panama Canal.
Building Program Cited.
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota. pointed out how In 1888,
when the $3,3O0,00 900 public works
measure was enacted, $238, 8,000, 900 of
it was allocated for construction Of
naval vessels. A short while later,
Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho.
offered an amendment to the work.

vent any of this new public works

Senator Bone, Democrat, of Wash

bill to have the pay Of mechanics and
laborers in arsenals kept on . parity
with similar workmen in navy yards,
but it was held to be legislation on
an appropriation bill, and not in order
Conferees are expected to be named

The movement out of Saloniki was
accompanied by bombardment from

Kulata, on the Greco-Bulgarian from

Eleutherios Venizelos, leader of the
civil strife.
The government placed its faith
in Kondylis and the existence of
harbor guns and extensive mining OF
Saloniki Gulf.
Weather Checks Activities.
For the moment, at least. the bitter
Winter weather held in check major
activities of LoyaliSts and Rebels as
the struggle entered its second week.
The governments present inability
to make effective its reiterated PROM
Use to stem the insurrection with a
decisive blow, kept antagonists on
land and sea deadlocked in the
struggle.
Government supporters maintained
that the delay was sending the morale
of the rebels to a low ebb and was
causing disintegration of their forces
and a revolt within the revolt.
Other sources, however, maintained
that the delays lent time to the in
surgents during which they may con-
solidate their position.
Meanwhile, Loyalist indignation in
Athens was expressed against the
rebels for the international effect the
revolt might have and the internal
waste caused by the disturbances.
In the opinion of some, however,
these disadvantages would be balanced
to some extent by the hope that a
decisive victory for the government
would kill the prestige of Venizelos
and clear the path for solid domestic
cooperation in the future.
All Loyalists MarshaIled.
All available loyal troops were
marshalled for the projected combat,
it was reported, despite a statement
by Gen. Kondylis that the outnum-
bered rebels cared not invade the
stronghold of Salonika.
The general said major offensive
by loyal troops was held up at the
eleventh hour by sudden gale.

clared, prevented our advance be-

Senator Norris of Nebraska today
backed his one-time secretary, Con-
troller General McCarl, in a dis
agreement with the Roosevelt admin
istration over the legality of certain
expenditures contemplated by the
Navy.
The veteran Republican independ-
ent declared McCarl had followed an
opinion of the Supreme Court in de-
Gliding that when a naval officer is
retired, the Navy has no right to pay
the expenses of his dependents on
their way home.
Secretary Swanson recently deflec
this ruling. ordering his department
to disregard it. President Roosevelt
disclosed yesterday that he and his
cabinet had decided to back the naval
secretary's stand.
Former Norris Secretary.
Norris, who summoned McCarl to
Washington as his secretary in 1914
and watched him step into the con-
troller's office in 1921. said flatly he
thought the accounting officer was
right.
Il saw the letter he wrote Secretary
Swanson about the matter" he said.
''McCarl based his decision on rul-
ing of the Supreme Court. I know
that the Court of Claims and Attor-
nev General Cummings and former
Attorney General Stone thought tie

But remember in conflicts OF
this sort. the Supreme Court is the
