FIGHTS
INDUSTRY DRAFT
Imposing New System at
Start of War Held a
Hindrance.
BY the Associated Press.


Strong opposition to immediate con-
scription of industry in the event of
was was voiced today by Gen. Hugh S.
johnson to the House Military Com
mittee.
The builder of N. r. A. and code
rule Of industry testified on legislation
to take the profits out of war.
I'VE can direct every person, every
dollar and every thing for the purpose
Of war" johnson said, but I don't
think the way to do it is to impose a
new system on the existing system at
the start Of war.
MY opinion is that this would dis
rupt the enormous strength Of the Ma
ton for war and result ultimately in
defeat"
Organized Draft.
johnson, now a member Of board
named by President Roosevelt to find
way OF removing proflteering from
war, organized the selective draft
during the last world conflict.
Asked by Chairman McSwain, who
introduced the bill now before the
committee, about his opinion of the
measure, johnson said it would ac-
complish the purpose of clamping
down a ceiling on prices, leaving in
tact the price pattern in the way 1t
had last been framed by the law OF
supply and demand.
He added it would prevent "in-
variable wartime infiation," and re-
called estimates that the last war cost
the allies $4,000, 100000. In terms
of the 1918 dollars buying power,
he said, it would have been about
$4,000, ,000, 900.
The Capital also expected comment
from johnson on a union leaders
accusation, made before the Senate
Munitions Committee. that the Blue
Eagle chief had once waved away evi.
dence purporting to show collusion
among bidders for warship contracts
A. F. of L. Official Tells Of Bids.
John P. Frey, metal trades chief In
the American Federation of Labor
was the witness who spoke of johnson
before the Senate Committee. He
said that 10 days before bids on 81
ships were opened in July, 1888, he
had received a list of the low bids
He got the lists. he testified, from
Lawrence S. Wilder, former president
Of the New York Shipbuilding Co.
When he took them to Johnson. he
said, the general declared: That's
too hot for me. I'm not going to
have anything to do with it. I have
troubles enough of my own"
Frey testified to the Senate Com
mittee that much delay in construc-
ton of. the 81 vessels, for which p.
w. A. funds had been provided, was
encountered because of failure of pri-
vate companies to supply plans for
the vessels. Meanwhile, he added,
"our men walked the streets"
The failure of the New York Ship
building Co. to supply plans for cruis-
ers to the Philadelphia Navy Yard, he
said, resulted in II months delay in
laying down two keels.
Clinton L. Bardo, former preSi-
dent of that company, who was not
on the stand yesterday, protested to
the committee after it had adjourned.
There is not a word of truth In
what he is saying about those plans"
he said. "If you had called me, I
could have given you the facts"
You will have your chance when
you are called again." said Chairman
Nye. =.
But the story is out that the New
York Shipbuilding Co. is holding up
plans for those ships, and that is not
So" Bardo retorted.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
House Bosses Go Easy
in Drive for
Bills.
BY PAUL MALLON.


- HE administration has put rub
ber tires on its congressional
steam roller It Is still f1atten-
i ing cut all opposition in the
same old way, but with some
consideration for how the boys will
feel afterward. You see that by what
happened hebind the widely advertised
House revolt against giving President
Roosevelt nearly $4,000, ,000, 900 to play
with for relief without laying down
any rules for his game.
It was a pleasant revolt for all.
1t started when q few conscien-
tious Democrats, like capable Cox Of
Georgia, protested half apologetically
that the House leaders (not necessarily
Mr.. Roosevelt) were going too far.
They said more than an hour should
be allowed for 435 elected Representa-
tiveS of the people to debate a $5,000,-
100000 appropriation bill. They also
hinted it was wrong for the leaders to
refuse consideration to all amend
ments. Certainly couple Of innocent
amendments could be considered.
Rules Group Divided.
Ordinarily the leaders would pay no
attention to such an apologetic re-
volt. They did not, this time, until
they suddenly found their own Rules
Committee was divided seven to seven
on the question whether they we're
going too far.
Before doing anything, the House
leaders trundled down to the White
House, went into a huddle with the
driver. They then decided to make
the inevitable crushing of the revolters

inside reasons for believing he was
such sturdy nationalist that he was
secretly against the Court, as we'll as
the League Of Nations despite his
1920 presidential campaign).
Indeed, the gossipy ,Uord is now
0etng spread in senatorial cloak
rooms that neither the President
nor the Democratic leadership is
strong enough for the Court to die
for it and is merely pressing the
issue to appease certain peace So
ctetteS, ,Uhich might otherwise be
aroused at the strong New Deal
trend toUard ndtionalism.
This is possibly a sour-grape argu-
ment put forward by anti-courters.
They are going strong now. If they
could delay vote for a few weeks
more, they might be able to defeat the
Court move.
Japan Begins Push.
The Japanese are not going to stop
in China this time until they domi-
nate those caravan routes westward.
The Presidents consulting econo-
mist, Winfield Riefler of the Central
Statistical Board, handed in his resig-
nation week or more ago. He NAV

Einstein holds forth in the institute
OF higher learning.
The Treasury has become so in
tereSted pursuing taxpayers that it
is getting 1000 relief tporkers for
that purpose. But the joke is that
Congressnen hare been unable to
get control OF these jobs, because
the Treasury is not technically hir-
ing the men. A Congressman re-

The new Federal Reserve rule re-
quires it.
The President heard, but did not
like, the recent dinner speech Of a
well-known humorist, who said in ef-
feet: "The biggest mystery about the
World Court is why any one happened
to think Of 1t at this time when there
is so much else to think Of"

reasonably pleasant for the victims by
permitting three hours instead of one
hour for general debate. In the full
ness of their hearts, they also agreed
to consider amendments to one incon-
sequential section of the legislation,
but not to the important sections.
The steam roller then moved on,
with the mutineerS falling under the
roller resignedly, and the leaders con-
tent with having lost nothing but
few hours of time.
Inferiority Complex.
The inside explanation for such
ShenaniganS furnishes rather in
teresting expose of the whole existing
legislative situation.
Congress has an inferiority complex,
and justly so. Each revolter knew
that if the S5,000,0 100000 pork barrel
was ever opened up for amendments
on the floor of the House, there would
be riot. A rush to get a slice of
that money for the folks back home
would be unstoppable Congressman
would start proposing amendments to
districts.
Also, the argument about the
ridiculously small amount of time
permitted for debating such a tre-
mendous bill is largely political.
Talk is the cheapest commodity
on the Washington market. Nobody
cares anything about that.
The real reason the opposition
wanted more time was to organize a
real revolt. The reason the admin
istration would not permit a reason
able period for debate was to prevent
the opposition from getting organized.
The result is the legislation un-
doubtedly has many flaws. These may
or may not be discovered when full
time is allowed for consideration of
the bill in the Senate.
Revolts Come Easily.
Half the insiders in Congress seem
to feel the Democratic leaders made
mistake in not showing a ruthless
front toward the mutineers, They
suspect that when Congressman find
out they can revolt, even APOLOGIZE
cally, and get away with it, there will
be nothing but revolts. However, if
future revolts are as gentlemanly as
this one, they will not be revolving to
any one except the spectators.
Roosevelt's Surprise.
Mr.. Roosevelt has also been crowd
ing the mourners on the World Court.
He caught the opposition wholly off,
guard by sending his World Court
me ssage to the Senate Some oppo-
sitiOniSts who are his friends had
