King Washington Letter Washington, D. C., Feb. 4th The pre- j dominating feature of legislative events at preaent la the fillbus that la taking place In the Seostet?The ship purchase hill, backed by the adminis tration, providing for the acquisition of ships by the government ov.-ned corporation to relieve the present shortage of ocean vessels, and seek ing to build up the merchant marine, Is still the unfinished business of the Senate, to the exclusion of everything else. In pressing the bill for pas sage the Democrats have precipita ted what promises to be one of the hardest fights In legislative history. The Republicans have resisted all ef forts to bring the bill to a vote, claim ing that It has not had sufficient con sideration and that the people of the Country, are not aware of its provis ions which, they maintain, contain many dangerous provisions, such as setting a precedent for the ultimate ownership by the government of all public utilities. The Democrats mean to paas the bill during the present ses sion and claim to have enough votes to Insure Its passage when it comes to a vote. In order to force this, con tinous sessions, day and night, not even for meals, have been held and will continue until the pas sage of the bill. The parlimentary situation is such that the Republicans must keep talking all the time and they have been resorting to time kil ling tactics of every description, until now it only seems to be a question of physical endurance. A recess was taken about midnight on last Satur day over Sunday, after a contlnous session from 10 o'clock Friday morn ing- Senator Smoot or Utah talked contlnouslr all through _ the night, until 1>e was relieved by Senator Sutherland about 9. oielock. He kept the Door about 12 hours, without an opportunity of sitting down or to eat. The longest speech on record was the -one made-by Senator LiFoliette, in 1908. lasting eighteen hours/ but he had frequently rests of from ten mlnu tH (O t hair hour occasioned* by quorum calls. In tli* Houm the nAval appropria tlon bill hu bm holding attention, | and called forth much debat*. Th? J remarks wandered over a wide ran?* of topica but always came back to th* aubject matter. Representative Hum phrey charged that the Stat* Depart ment waa In receipt of a letter from Great Britain stating their attitude toward the shipping Question, which waa being held back and not given publicity, but this waa denied by Mr. Underwood, on the authority of the State Department Congressman Hob son haa been supporting a proposition to create a bureau of naval operations or board of stategy bat that waa stricken out on a point of order. Friends of th* Item, expect the Senata to restore It to the original form. Th* abolishment of the "plucking board", to remove officers from th* service, which has caused so much dissatisfaction in the past, is being advocated and it Is likely to pass by a majority. Th* prasent war m Europe will no doubt have a decided Influence on th* future naval policy of this eoumtry Secretary Daniels has an \ S s fr ISIS, jULw Tl '".TJtX 1? . - ? > " V ^ nounced that a number of eminent naval officers are1 to be detailed to make observation? In Europe of all the navies of the countries now at war. One of the problems effects will be the displacing of the present type of scout cruiser tor the larger and more powerful battle cruiser. Mr. Amos Pinchot, a New York at torney, in testifying before the Feder al industrial relations committed, gave some very advanced ideas on economic questions. He states that before we arrive at a proper basis we must | reach a point where employers will be bidding against each other for men's services, but the point would never be reached while monopolistic groups controlled the natural resources, thereby regulating and restricting In dustry, llxlng prices and oppressing labor. W. F. McCombs, chairman of the Democratic committee, recently held a short conference with President Wil son, largely in regard to general poli tical conditions He expressed hlmselfas well pleased with the present situation and was qulteconfldont there would be no necessity for^an extra session of Congress as he thqughLlhe shipping bill and all necessary appropriation bils would be disposed of before the close of the session. The need for economy lmpressod him and he ex pressed the opinion that Congress would take this into consideration in the remaining bills. Tha, recent report of the Treasury Department showing a constantly growing deficit, already amounting to over {80,000,000 has brought this matter rather forcibly to the attention of the political leadera and the pruning knife will doubtess be applied on the pendng bills. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo denies that any serious condition ex ists, but it Is likely the demand for economy wfll be heeded. A movement has been launched in Washington looking toward the estab lishment of "gennlno American neu trality, free from commercial financial and political subservience to foreign power*." The initiators of this move ment pledged themselves to support only such candidates for office, Irres pective of party, whq -will place American Interests above others and who win aid In eliminating all undue foreign Influences from American life. One phase of the recent establish ed Federal bureau will be the effort on the part of Secretary of Labor Wflson to relieve the congestion of immi grants In the large cities and persuade them to scatter over the country. Government employees will find from the Immigrants what work they did in their own con tries and what they deelre to do here. With these facts before them, efforts will be made to place the people In the best an(l most advantageous manner. The operations of this bureau not only affects Immi grants. but all are to be sided, and plana are Wring developed to bring Vie man and the Job together.
