administration witnesses frankly said
that it has kept US out of war.
These witnesses further testified
that the restrictions serve no useful

vessels defenseless and an easy prey
tor 10th Century pirates. They failed
to point out that under all laws of
the sea an armed vessel is considered
fair prey to all and sundry, especially
when carrying contrabrand war ma
terials.
Discussion developed that there IS
no record of any merchantmen hay-
ing sunk submarine in the last war,
or in this one. and that the number
OF attacks on merchantmen in 1917
increased rapidly after the arminp
order IN March of that year. 1t will
be remembered that war was declared
soon thereafter on April 6.
1t is expected that the Senate will
add the repeal of Section ? of the Act
so as to lift the ban on permitting
american flag ships to go into BEL
hgerent waters. The reason given
was that additional ships were needed
to transport materials abroad and that
registering under the Panamanian flag
was undignified subterfuge.
1t was suggested that by transfer
ring these same ships to British reg
istry, and SO building bridge of ships
to England under the already adopted
policy of lend-lease. quicker results
could be obtained and no gambling

Smoot Strike Farley

With the first hearing by the Ma
tional Defense Mediation Board IN
the Smoot Sand & Gravel Corp.
strike set for Monday, Howard T.
Colvin and Frank j. Sheehan of the
United States Cancellation Service
made plans today to renew their
efforts at q joint conference at the
Labor Department at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning.
The Mediation Board arranged
its calendar so that the dispute
involving more than 200 sand and
gravel workers could be taken ur
at 10 am. Monday, but voiced the
hope that a settlement may be
reached before that time.
A three-hour conference of union
and Smoot company representatives,
called by the Federal conciliators,
was adjourned at $50 O'Clock last
night with the understanding that
the session will be resumed tomor-
row morning. 1t Is understood slight
progress toward an agreement was
made.
In case the conciliators succeed
the hearing scheduled by the Ma
tional Defense Mediation Board will
be Cancelled.
The strike began at 7 am. Mon
day after the Smoot company, 1t
was charged, had refused to meet
union demands for wage and hour
adjustments. The effect upon the
sand and gravel supply made by
this tie-up at the largest local source
of concrete ingredients already has
been felt, officials reported.

By TIE Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board,
completing survey of 1913 metal
working factories, reported yester-
day that defense industry COM
panies were switching over to a
large extent to 6-day and 7-day
operation.
OF the plants surveyed. said the
research organization, 153 worked
all or part of Saturdays and SIS
were doing Sunday work. Only IS
companies were maintaining the
5-day week.
Sunday operation, the survey
showed, was limited in those cases
to maintenance and repair crews
and specialists, working to straight
en- out bottle-necks, encountered In
the course Of 6-day operations.
Many of the companies were
working three and four shifts, al
though number were paying over
time in order to extend the working
hours.
Companies using overtime said
they were forced to this course by
lack Of skilled labor, difficulty of
obtaining additional machine tools
and, in many cases. insistence of
