" Unqualified indorsement of the pro- | Pposed plan to build a new home for| the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in this city. was given | by the national councilors in reso-| lutions adopted at the closing ses-| sion yesterday afternoon of the hous- | ing conference of the chamber, at the ‘Willard Hotel. They strongly urged the completion of the task of financ- ing this enterprise. They expressed the view that every organization and every member of the national cham- ber should support the project. Pledging their support, the mem- bers passed resolutions urging the continuance of investigations of al- leged illegal combinations in the building industry and the punishment ©of the guilty ones. It was set forth in another resolu- tion that “the present housing short- age in this country constitutes a menace to the physical health and moral well being of the American people, conduces to discontent and unrest and will, if long continued. ) 2 &* We wish we felt as good as a feller thinks he looks in a fur collar.

ARNSTEIN’S NEW TRIAL HERE SET FOR MARCH 14 lead to lessened efficiency and pro- ductivity.” Regional Studies Urged. Isidore Cohn Expected to Go Be- fore Court With Three Others 2 on That Date. Tt was urged that each constituent member organization of the chamber make, or cause to be made, a thor- ough study of the situation in its own community which will bring about the facts as to house over- crowding, erection of unfit houses .and changes in house plans or con- struction that tend to rob the dwell- ing of its character as a home. It was urged also that the Washington headquarters of the organization make a thorough investigation of all questions involved in housing. All interests engaged in the build- ing industry were urged in a resolu- tion to do their full share in helping to reduce building costs. % The conference declared itself in @accord with the chamber’s board of directors that provisions of the so- called federal coal bill and the pack- ‘ers’ bill “infringe upon fundamental American principles.” It advised the board of directors that in the opin- don of the national council it is the duty of the board to press the amend- ment of these bills, to conform with { fundamental principles, and if main- tained in their present form to op- pose them. 3 Charles Nagel of St. Louis, former Becretary of the Department of Com- merce and Labor, spoke at the after- noon sesgipn on “American Housing and the Immigrant.” President Wilson has approved the mction of the court--martial convened at New York city in the case of Capt. John A. Willers, U. S. Infantry. That officer was convicted of the charge A of desertion and sentenced to dis- smissal and imprisonment at 'hard Jabor for five years. WILL COMMAND DEPOT. Brig. Gen.

Stirring scenes were enacted in the auditorium at the Interior Depart- ment last night when in the course of an address by Representative | Thomas L. Blanton of Texas before Federal Employes' Union, No. 2, Hugh | Reid of the Department of Labor, denounced a statement made by Mr. Blanton as a “lie” and the representa- tive from Texas ordered him to sit down. Speaking of “foreigners” affiliated with ‘the American Federation of Labor, Mr. Blanton declared, “Do you know that you are affiliated with such men as that?” He continued by declaring that one-third of the mem- bers of organized lubor in America cannot speak the English language, and said that two-thirds of that third claimed foreign citizenship in order to evade the draft. “Will you cheer that?" asked Mr. Blanton, referring to the fact that the audience, which packed the audi- course of his address, and it seemed the consensus of opinion of many of his hearers, at the end of the meeting, that the audience was “with” the representa- tive from Texas. Another tense scene arose when J. G. Gurley, cditor of the Federal Em- ploye, arose in the audience and ask- ed Mr. Blanton how many of his sons he had on the government pay roll. When the member from Texas learn- ed the name and position of his in- terrogator, he said: “So you're the one who was lambasting me during my campaign last fall!” Tries to Get Acquainted. Still another time a man in the audience attempted to put a question, and Mr. Blanton carried the audience iwith him by demanding that the man say_that the “United States is the finest country in the world.” Introducing himself by stating that although regarded as the enemy of government clerks. he had ‘“come to gaot acquainted,” Mr. Blanton stated that he wanted to help the union PLEASES BIG AUDIENCE Composite Vaudeville and Minstrel Show Given at Poli’s Theater for Benefit of Legion. The Overseas Jazz Review, a com- posite vaudeville and minstrel sho which was presented by overseas veterans at Poli's Theater yesterday afternoon for the benefit of the Armistice day committee of several American Legion posts, was enthusi- astically received by a large audi- ence. . It was the consensus of opin- jon that the entertainment was one of the best amateur performances of its kind ever presented In this city. There was much praise for J. Austin ‘Taylor, director of activities for the Red Cross at Walter Reed Hospital, who directed the entertainment. The company offered one good fea- ture after another, ali varied in char- acter, and it therefore would be dif- ficult to select any one as the star. Probably the greatest applause was received by Carol Taylor and Ger- aldine Willlams, ten and eight years old, respectively, who gave exhibi- jtion of modern and ancient dancing. The singing of Director Taylor and Frank Saunders was pleasing. There were monologues by William H. Bright and Sergt. Lyons, the lat- ter an old-time Army man; typical songs by Richard Vollmer and Law- irence Floyd, and an old-time minstrel show with Pat Minish as interlocutor. Lawrence Floyd took the part of Rastus McCarral Leiper played Jazz- bo; Haywood Vickers was Tambo, and Robert Valmer was Bones. Dick Kennedy closed up with a mind-read- ing stunt as Jakey Finkelstein, and John Keller played the part of the Hula dancer. Members of the chorus were Hugh McManus, Milton Stephens, George Geiger, Ellwood Becker, Romeo Cashier_and Otto Gerard. Mrs. Henry F. Dimock, as treasurer of the benefit, assisted in the business management, and much of its success was attributed to her by the officers of the posts interested. She had charge of the sale of tickets and the decorations, being assisted by a long list of patronesses selected from ‘Washington society. Gen. Pershing and several members of his staff oc- cupied a box. —_— BACK FORESTRY BILL. Representatives of Timber Service Appear Before Committee. Conservation of the American fors ests and insurance of a continuous itimber supply can be obtained through passage by Congress of the bill by Representative Snell, republic- an, New York, which seeks to develop a national policy through co-opera- tion_with states and private owners, the House agricultural committee was told by representatives of the For- est Service and National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association. At the same time Gifford Pinchot, state for- ester of Pennsylvania, protested against passage of the bill, which, he sald, would concentrate control of the timber industry in the hands of a few wealthy owners on the Pacific coast. Support for the Snell bill was also given in a statement filed with the committee by Elbert H. Eaker, pub- lisher of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, as representing the American News- paper Publishers’ Association. ““We are using the methods of the Chinese in stripping forests,” said Philip W. Ayres of the Society for the Protec- tion of New Hampshire Forests at the hearing. The public has to pay the fid- dler in “this dance of death” 'to which Mr. Ayres refers, said Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American For- estry Association, who also spoke at the hearing. i | \ i i —_— WILL ACT SOON ON DEBS.

During consideration of the diplomatic | appropriation bill Representative Mason, republican, Illinols, a member of the foreign affairs committee, offered an amendment providing a salary of $10,000 for a minister to Ireland. Instantly half a dozen representatives were on their feet. Chairman Rogers of the subcommittee of appropriations in charge of the bill i challenged the right of the House in in- cluding such an amendment on the ground that it was without authority of law and that there had been no execu- tive recognition of Ireland. Before the point was sustained by Representative _Towner, _republican, Towa, presiding. Mr. Mason declared the question of policy with respect to Ire- land should be determined by Congress on its merits and not on a parliamentary point. Gen. Pershing, Secretary Baker and Maj. Gen.

This is due to our national neglect of education. *The Army statistics showed this only too plainly. The nation was jamazed when it learned that hun: dreds of thousands of Americans, un- able to read or write, had to be pain- fully taught the meaning of such {simple commands as “halt” and “for- ward” and that hundreds of thou- sands more were rejected because of i physical disabilities that might easily |nave been corrected in the school These facts did not surprise us in the 1 all along.
