SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY SHIP BILL'S FATE VIRTUALLY SEALED ERS AGREE IT WILL BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO A^ r ON MEASURE BILL RETURNED TO CONFERENCE Great Activity in Both Howes Upon Conference Reports on Appropriation Measures (By Acwoatod Pr**.) WASHINGTON. March 2.-Congress settled down tonight for what leaders expected to be a continuous seaalon until the gavel signalizes its end at noon March 4. The bouae marked time for a few hours ofter sending the governmoat ahip purchase bill back to conference while committees labored on final agreements on the billion dollar ap propriation for government expenses. Meanwhile thc aenate sought ener getically to catch up on the legislative program. The day's developments virtually sealed the fate of thc - hip purchase bill, administration leaders agreeing that it would be almost impossible to act on the conference report in the senate after it ia dUpout-d of by the house. The ship purchase bill was shunted aside late In the day In the house and returned to conference on a point of order made by Representativo Mann, the minority leader, who contended that the conferees bad exceeded their authority in increasing to three years thc period to elapse following the close of the European war before the Weeka naval auxiliary provisions ; 'iou ld become effective. Speaker Clark sustained tbe point of order, and a further conference with the aenate was requested to make the report conform to the rules. House leaders discovered late to night that on account of tho tangled situation In the senate there wr.a lit tle business demanding immediate attention on their side of the capitol and at 11:25 o'clock the house recess ed until tomorrow. It was understood that aft ^r to night there will be no adournmr.u and probably no recess before the session ends Thursday. The house agreed tonight to the conference rcTOrt-^uk the naval bills, with a prov;.-.-.directing the secre tary of the navy to report to the next congress plana for four aavrl vessels based on European war obsoi valions. Reports on th? military academy and the diplomatic and consular billa also were agreed to._ In agreeing>on tte legislative, exe cutive and Ju$cla?>ill,'conferees to night eliminated mil provision for money to bo expend?a by the president In connection with tho1 formal opening of the Panama Canal. They concluded that If the president made the trip through the canal the expenses could be paid? out of some existing funds. O neatest activity in both houses centered upon conference reports on appropriation bills. Argument was reached during the day on the naval and legislative, executive and judicial supply measures, and on the army bill except aa to, a house provision pro hibiting the use of "speeding up" methods in army shops. The senate conferees yielded to tho house ou a similar provision in -the naval meas ure. Conference on the army bill agreed to all the financial features and both houses adopted that portion of the re port which carries a total outlay of $101,974,165.. House conferees won a point In having stricken out provis ion for an aviation plant at San Die go. Calif. It waa provided, however, that a commission of anny officers be appointed to look into the selection bf a site for such a plant. An agreement on the naval bill leaves the naval building program tor the year as follows: Two battleships, six or more tot.pe do boat destroyers, two sea-going ?.submarines. IS coast defensa sub marines and one oil ship. The bill carries a total of $148.000.000. the total amount for the building program ag gregating $45.053,801. The aenate amendment appropriating $1.000,000 toward construction of an armor plate factory was stricken out by the con ferees. Late In the day the senate passed the general deficiency appropriation bill, carrying $8,092,8?!

WASHINGTON, March 2.-A scath ing arraignment of the Colorado mili tia for Its treatment of striking min ers and their families is made by th? house mining subcommittee which in vestigated conditions in the Colorado coal fields, in a report today. While scoring conditions generally in. the coal fields and criticising many , of the acta of the mine operators, in cluding alleged "iolatlons ot Stat? lawa, the committee reports that so evidence was found of a conspiracy In restraint of trade to limit the out put of mines nor conclusive proof of the existence ot peonage. The atrike waa settled long before the committee completed Ita report, to no specific recommendations are made. The committee appeals, how ever, for arbitration in auch situa tions. It declarea these disturbances are nation-wide In their importance; that the federal government is the on ly power competent to deal with them, and, after referring to the testimony of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who dis claimed responsibility for Colorado conditions, adds: "Absentee owners or directora, by their absence from the scene of such disturbances, cannot escape their moral responsibility for conditions In and about properties in which they are Interested." The committee criticised the State auhorities .foy failing to prevent ula of firearms to the contending forces. "The mine owners shipped four ma chine guns from West Virginia for use during the atrike," the report stated. "The evidence conclusively shows the miners bought arma sad ammunition in quantities." Criticism ls directed also at condi tions in incorporated towna where "the companies are permitted to put up a sign 'Private Property' and ex clude all except those whom they see fit to permit to enter, all the officials of the city, the mayor and the achoo! board being officiate of the mining companies." The committee declarea that John D. Rockefeller, Jr.. did nothing to Improve the condition of the employes of thc company in which he ls stock holder and director, though "he has done a great dael for uplift of people 'a other"Darts -of the country and in ;oT?gn lands." - "Mr. ,Rockefeller, before the com" mitte? In Washington, said he would not egree to arbitration for the reason that he was fighting for a great princi ple, and wenl? ?norifice eli his sroeer ty for the principle of every man to be fre6 to work for whom he piesses and on such tarma aa best , suits the worker, ?fir. Rockefeller, irpantlnjr, as a director of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, not having attended a meeting of the stockholders or direct ors Ut ten years, uttering thia senti ment of liberty tor the working peo ple of bia company and of the whole country, should remember that for 30 years there has bean the fiercest struggle among the workers In the Mines of Coiosado. _ "Mr. Rockefeller was not a judge of conditions In Colorado and knew nothing shout them. He waa not will ing to submit to a fair board ol ar biters to settle this strike, and the statement that be was fighting for liberty for the working maa/will not bear investigation. The strike could have been settled without recognition of the union had he desired to do so, and the employes couid have worked for him whether members of the uukm or not." Minority reports were submitted by two members of the subcommittee, Re presentative Byrnes, of South Caro Una, Democrat, and Austin, of Teiiaee. see, republican. Mr. Byrnes holds that the resolu tion ordering the Investigation did not anthe iz*. a report on thc rela tions between capital and labor, tho causes et industrial unrest .ta? allied subjects. The conditions complained of? lt they exist, he declarer, can be remedied by Colorado and not by the- federal government.
