FEDERAL CONTROL AGITATED
(Jotrrnmrnl'i Taking Over Ship
yards I Vrgetl on Congress.
WASHINGTON.' Jb. 11. Delays In
ship construction, charged to a consid
erable extent to labor difficulties, have
brought agitation in Congress for Gov
ernment operation of the yards, and It
was learned tonight that the Shipping
Board haa been asked to consider the
matter of taking over at least some
private plants.
Heretofore the Board has taken the
position that If the labor situation is
straightened out- the yards will turn
out as much tonnage under private
management aa they would If run by
the (Kivernment.
Virtually all ship construction now
under way In the I'nlted Statea Is for
the Government, but the yards them
selves are operated as private enter
prises. The Shipping Board is having
thre Government owned fabricating
steel yards built near Philadelphia, but
their management, too. Is in private
hands.
Shipping Board officials declined to
say what their attitude toward Gov
ernment operation of yards now Is. but
it Is known that If any yards are taken
over it will be those which are not pro
ducing ships rapidly and that others
which are doing good work will be left
with their present managements.
Despite increased wages to ahipyard
workers there have been as many
strikes In the shipbuilding yards as in
any other line of war work. The Ship
ping Board Is engaged now In trying to
work out uniform wage acales for ship
yard workers and already has put t
scale Into force on the Pacific Coast-
One of the chief causes or Jabor un
rest In shipyards has been the practice
of shipyards of hiring men from one
another. Those who are urging the
Government operation of yards point
out that under Government operation
thia practice would be ended and that
another advantage would be that the
Government could shift workers from
yard to yard readily If It became neces
sa ry.
Complainta have reached the Ship
ping Board from ahrpyard owners that
riveters are not driving the number
of rivets they should and that they are
held down to a small . minimum by
union regulations. The board will at
tempt to raise the maximum, at the
same time Insisting that wage scales
for piece work shall not be reduced
where more work Is done.

NEW YORK. Feb. 13. Announcement
within a short time that th Cuban
loan of $100,000,000 to finance the har
vesting of the sugar crop Is "an ac
complished fact" was forecast tn a
statement issued here tonight by the
Internationa) sugar committee.
It was Intimated that New York
bankers and refiners already had sub
scribed I80.COO.000 and that the bal
ance probably would be forthcoming
from Boston. Chicago. Philadelphia.
New Orleans and other cities.
George M. Rolph. chairman of the
committee, said that most of the annual
reports of the sugar companies would
be forthcoming at an early data and it
would be "Interesting to the public
to not th profits earned by them dur-
ng the year 1S17, when no food con
trol regulations were In effect, and

reports to be Issued one year hence.
showing th results of the operations
of the same companies ana tn looa

Mr. Rolph declared that, in his opin
ion, th profits of the last year, when
there was no restriction on prices, were
unusually and unnecessarily high; that
the margina now fixed would result In
fair earning on the capital of all the
companies, and no exorbitant profits
would be shown except in the case of a
few of the best companies, which were
greatly favored by natural climatic and
geographical advantages to an unusu
ally large production.
In such caaea a large part or tha
earnings will revert back to the Gov
ernment In the form of Income and ex

Mr. Hays accepted the chairmanship
in a telegram sounding a strong note
of Republican loyalty in the war.
"Everyone knows," he said, "that

"The loyalty of the Republican party
