T TS ST NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1916. SENATE, FRETTING AT DELAY, EXPECTS TOOUTSTRIP HOUSE (Continued From First Page.) to the Gore reso- lution. He is not only opposed te laws on the subject but to any formn of Yofficial warning, keeping people off belligerent vessel “If I could have my way, I would take some step to save this country from becoming embroiled in the ropean war through the reckle ness of some thoughtless citizen. The president has written Rep. PJu that the resolution has been a source of embarrassment to him in the diplomatic negotiations with the belligerents. I am sure that is so. I have deliberately sought to prevent resolutions on this subject being adopted and sought to ally agitatiol on this subject. Now we are informed that the resolution must be defeated.” Senator Stone declared it was his hgpe that something could be done ats once to bring the president and congress more closely in accord on the issue and that he was framing & substitute for all pending resolu- tjons on the subject. _Senator Lodge of Mas: ramking republican member of forelgn relations committee, declared he“was in accord with Senator Stones désige for prompt action, and he agreed that the issue was more im- portant than anything else now be- foré congres Senator Lodge said that the presi- dent had a right to ask for a vote on the precise propcsition of warning Americans, inasmuch as the issue had bampered his negotiations so that he cotld know whether he could proceed with diplomatic ncgotiations with con- grgss behind him.” Williams Raps Polit Senator John Sharp Williams, dem- ocrat, staunchly defended the presi- dent ident is opposed he time has come for you and said Senator Williams, “to act on n issue that is before us, not be- cwuse of any action of the president, but because of what he has been com- pelted to confront, because of constant nagging, constant querying and con- stant expression of opinion in favor of the negotiations of a foreign power as against our own. “The time has come,” continued Senator Williams, “when the question states itself this way: ‘Shall T acclaim or shall I acclaim me, ever the president did say is someth ng that T do not care to repeat. When- ever I go to the White House for a conference with tha president, what | he says to me is sacred- I have not repeated the conversation I had with the president. I have stated impres- sions the conversation made on my mind. I stated, in substance, my im- pressions in my lefter to the president which was made public.” “I made no intimation that the sen- ator from Mi uri has repeated the conversation,” Senator Gore replied. The debate ended without action and the senate passed to other busi- | ness with the prospect of taking up | the Gore resolution at an early hour | tomorrow, . The president, believing that a ma- Jority of the rank and file of the house is ready to stand by him, has asred that one of the anti-administration resolutions to warn Americans off bel- ligerent ve: Is be brought to a vote 0 that agitation in congress no lor er may mx?han s im in the subma- rine negotiations with Germany. But the 1en who control the parliament- al machinery, most whom have favored the warning proposals, ¢ emploving every effort to prevent a show down. After a day of confer- ences and inaction by the house for- eign affairs committee, word went Torth from the White House last night that the president would accept mno compromise; taat he wanted congress to pass upon one of the pending reso- lutions and that no resolution of con- fidence in the administration or otner device to prevent membe from re- cording their position wouid be ac- ceptable. Chairman Flood, whom White House officials sought in vain last of night, was instructed by the fereizn affairs committee to see the president today for a further discussion of the situation. He also was authorized to seek data at the state department on the negotiations with Germany, and to report back to a committee meri- ing before the house convened for to- day’s session. Action By Congr Action of the president’s requect probably will not be long delayed. If the foreign affairs committee contin- ues to put off bringing the issue hefore the house, the rules committee prob- ably will be urged to carry out the e- quest originally made by the presi- dent in his letter to Chairman Pou, and report out a rule incorporating a warning resolution and providing for a vote on it after limited debate. The president’s friends declare that deci- sive defeat of th resolution would fol- low. On the senate side of the capitol ac- tion by the house is being awaitea, Tt is conceded that the president wili be supportd whenever the question brought to a vote there. Soon. hland Ueber alles?’ have the highest contempt for one who would inject politics in this ituation. Politicians looking for a al vote of some kind to be gained from this are not only poor Americans but poor politicians. “The moment a factional element participating in the government of the United States shall implant in them- selves an idea of pleasing a racial ele- ment, that moment they will consoll- dafe against them every other racial element and all that great element of citizens who are just Americans, with- out frill, without politics, and without hyphens or anything else.” Gore Defends Resolution. senator Gore defended his resolu- tion. “An my judgment any American placing German interest above those of the United States is a trai- tor,” declared Senator Gore, ‘“and there are many traitors of that class in America. I think any American placing Great Britain’s interest above ours is a traitor, and there are « many of that cl There two types are equally offensive, disloyal and reprehensible. introduced my resolution apprehensive we toward war” said he. based on a report to me to come from the that certain sena- of the house in he- “My act was whish seemed highest authority tors and members a conference with the president re ceived from him the intimation, if nof the declaration, that if Germany insisted on her position the United States would insist upon hers, and that this would result probably, in a breach of diplomatic relations, and that a breach of diplomatic rela- tions would probably be followed hy a state of war, and that a state of war might not be an evil, might not be ungrateful, might end the war by mid-summer, and thus might render a great service to civilization. 1 cannot certify to the truth of the report. I tell the tale as it was told me. t “If the senator from Miss chairman of the foreign relations committee, will deny it, that will sat- jsfy me. If the senator from Indiana says it not true, I will accept that.”” “Well, in fairness to the president,” sadd Senator Stone, “I think I should state that the president never stated to me or stated in my hearing that he believed or in any way entertain- ed the thought that war between ti United States and the Central Powers would be desirable or would result in would not be ungrate- is any good, ful.” or T —*I have no .

Will Accept No Compromise. President Wilson told Chairman Flood of the house foreign affairs committee, early today t he would consent to no compromise on the armed ship issue and desired a direct vote on a resolution warning Ameri- cans off armed ships of belligerent nations Mr Flood took the pes dent’s decision to the committee Reports to the administration today were that yesterday ten members of the foreign affairs committee were in favor of reporting out the M:Lemore resolution to warn Americans off armed ships, and nine members were against it. There are twenty-one members of the committee. Some cf those who expressed opinions were opposed to the McLemore resolution because it contains expressions not connected dircctly with the issue on which the president insists on a vote. A meeting of the committce which was to have been held this morning was postponed until 3 o’clock this af- ternoon, when Chairman Flood will deliver the presidents’ message, The president had no engagements with leaders of house or senate today, but was keeping in constant touch and prepared to see any members if noces- sary. Up to the present, Mr. not been asked to see any of either house, to send any fi congress, or to appear before gress in person, as has bheen mally suggested. It w White House that no would' be taken up until presented, No “Soft Soap™ Administration officials character- d the proposed vote of confidence as a “soft soap” resolution to endorse the president and at the same time warn Americans off armed ships They reiterated that no such resolution would be satisfactory. “This is a clear cut issue,” said one administration official, “and we do not want it muddled.” There were some cording to those officials president’s stand w sired effect on the house . that the rules committee to act and that the only now was tin he foreign aff mittee.

Chairman Flod said to the capitol that he believed some resolution acceptable to the president would be agreed upon in the foreign affairs committee today. Might Force House To Vote, on his return Representative Garrett of the rules committee, after a talk with the pre: dent, spoke of the possibility that the ! committe could bring in a rule to dis- charge the foreign affairs committee and candidates for ion of political leaders of all parties. There is much speculation as to what it will cost the state and these esti- mates vary, but no estimate has been lower than an average of $5,000 a county. fore, counties ticians think the cost $600,000. olis priated $34,000 to pay the expenses of the primary. ficials say Some of the smaller counties may not have to spend, than $3,000. like Lake, Vigo, St. Joseph, Allen, and Vanderburg, and perhaps a few others will, $15,000 or more. ing be the of accuracy. didates hard, Practically all of the political leaders say that there was never any candi- date who made a canvass for an office, to be nominated at a convention, that ever primary is co; of new. dates pealing to the voter, befor democratic offic large amounts. didates are spending practically noth- ing. maxing the long. republican and about forty others carrying this advertising: governor have had from consideration of one of the reso- Btone declared emphatically “What- lutions and thus force the question | out for a vote in the house over the opposition of those who want to pre- vent it.

Campaign butcons, stickers, cards, posters, street car advs and pennants have been distributed with a lavish hand. Transportation Expenses, Next to the advertising, the mext item of expense probably, 1s for trans- portation and hoted bills of the can- didates and their managers. The mo- tor car has played a great part in the primary. With the use of this means of transportation, a candidate is able i to make several meetings the candidates for senator and gov- ernor, claim they have visited every county in the state at least once, and a day. All | it is understood that one of the sena- torial candidates is making his third trip to every county in the state. Postage has been a big item of pen Tt estimated that cach candidate has sent out from 100,000 to 200,000 pieces of mail and most of fh has gone “first class.” The printing of circulars has also cost a lot of money. Not the least of the candidates pen has been the maintenance of headquarters conmsisting of large suites of rooms in down town hotels or office buildings in Indianapoli Some of the candidates have even maintained headquarters, recently in the larger cities of the state, ou of the capital. This has meant employment of clerks, stenographer: and messengers, all of which have cost considerable. Telephone and telegraph tolls will run into hundreds of dollars. Various estimated have been as to the amount the different didates will spend. Some are lating that two of the most candidates fi governor and for senator will have expended close on to $200.000 at the close of prim- ary day. They figure that it will cost made can- { ern each one approximately $50,000. The expenses will not cease until the polls are closed as some of the candidates, it is declared will have motor cars at every precinct in the state to see that their friends get to the polls as well as hired workers at the 177 voting precincts. STEEL PRICES RISE AT FURIOUS PACE More Concrete Will Be Used in Construction Work 2 The Iron Age says today: Steel prices are rushing up at a furious pace and in the past week conditions have grown more ex- cited. Manufacturers as well as buy- ers consider the present but some of them level dan- gerou: had the same view wecks ago. Now they gen- erally protest that they are creatures of a situation the end of which none can predict. It has been a week of heavy buy- ing in many quarters, notably in pig iron and old material. More than 200,000 tons of steel-making pig iron has been closed and the Steel Corporation alone has bought 100,- 000 tons of steel scrap in the Pitts- burgh and Chicago district Tt would be easier to name pro- ducts which have not been advanced in the week than those which have been pushed up under buying in many cases more urgent than has yet been seen. At Pittsburgh, Bessemer iron is 50c to 75c higher; basic iron, 25c to h0c heavy steel scrap, 75¢; skelp, light rails, $3; wire pro- ducts, $2; black pipe, $2; galvanized pipe, $4; boiler tubes, $2; refined iron bars, $2; sheets, $3; to $5; cold rolled strip steel, $5 to $10; mer- chant steel, $3 to $4; shafting, $ spikes, $2 to $3. No end is in sight to the and the volume of orders ahead of the mills is growing faster Many buyers are afraid to contract at the prices, ut most of them seem more afraid of being without material in the latter part of the year than of paying any price producers may name. Railroads see that $30 open-hearth rails are the cheapest product on the list and at least three ystems have ‘placed order far ahead as 1917, the total thus far for that delivery being about 70,000 tons. Shipyard buying is at a pace never before known, and already the lead- ing steel interest has booked 110.- 000 tons of steel for 20 thut will be under construction in the second quarter 1917, rge for foreign owners On these contracts the basis was $2.50., Pittsburgh, for plates, $2.35 for shapes and $2.30 for bars. Similarly there ahead for steel for ings. The American has taken the contract brid for the Besscmer ¢ T.ake Eric road ove the Allegheney rive @ Oakmont, T’ that will requir 10,- 000 to 12,000 tons and will he a year in building. A bridge at Steubenville, Ohio, for the LaBelle Iron Worl will take 5,000 tons. A ridge the Ohio river at Louisville, Ky., let, calls for 5,000 tons. In the East fully 15,000 tons in structural con- tracts has been let this week and nearly as much is about to be closed. Quick decisions have been made on some work to avoid higher p At the same time no week has brought out more cases of under- takings postponed on account of high prices and the unwillingness of mills to make definite promises of delive ies. A good many plans are being changed so that more concrete he used in bridge and other work. New rail orders include 33,000 tons for the Southern railway, of which 30,000 tons goes to Ensley; 5,000 tons for the Wheeling Lake Krie, 6,500 tons for the B. & O. and 3,200 tons for the C., H. & D. The Russian rail contracts went to three mills, nd the total is about 60,000 tons. Tt understood boats have actually been bought to insure delivery of these rails. Pittsburgh 55 advances vessels of is figuring long bridges and buiid- Bridge company for a reports the offering of 100,000 tons of bars for shells, which mills have been unable to conside Considerable foreign requiremesnts have come up for large squares and blooms for forging. But efforts ot foreign buyers have lately concen- trated on barb wire for the second half, and 50,000 to 100,000 tons before the mills. The wire si tion, after repeated advances last one Feh. 29, bringing nails $2.40, is tightening to a point indi- cating shortages in some lines. Actiy in stecl-making pig iron, along with Theavy buying of steel scrap, shows the larger steel comi- panies’ need of outside material. One Pittsburgh interest bought 35,000 tons of basic and 35,000 tons is under inquiry in that market.
