TIIE MORXIXG OREGONIAX, FRIDAY, JTJXE 13. 1919. HURLEY'S POLICY IS , HELD RATHER Wmm He should have been sent to Chehalis before then this would not have hap pened. It was no kindness to let him go when he was in trouble here. He was in trouble later in Seattle, and had service, I should have be confined in an Testimony of Director Leaves Committee in Dark. MONEY QUESTION IS RAISED Roy today save the name of the girl. who, he claims, asked him to "beat Greer up good." She is Frances John son, between 15 and 16 years old, and for a time worked at Taft, but is now supposed to be "beating it to Mexico." The boy was most reluctant to give her name, but his brothers insisted that he "come through, " and said they could do nothing for him unless he told all the truth. The boy and girl parted be tween Taft and Bakersfield, Roy says FRIENDS CHURCH PROSPERS Tioard Seems to Have Considered Contract Reinstatements With Xo Provision for Payments. OR EG ONI AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, June 12. Testimony of John H. Kosseter, director of operations of the shipping board, before the senate com mittee on commerce today revealed the fact that while the board has con sidered reinstatements of canceled ship contracts on the Pacific coast, there has been no provision for paying for such work. When Mr. Rosseter told the commit tee ,that reinstatements' aggregating Ji'5.000,000 to $30,000,000 were considered Senator Lenroot wanted to know how tii is money was to be obtained. The witness seemed to think that the money could be taken from the appropriation of $673,000,000 . asked from congress Senator Lenroot called his attention to the specific statement in Chairman Hurley's letter to the house appropria tions committee that all contract sus pensions were to be treated as cancel lations. Hearing TVot Sat inf net ory. After a second thought the witness staid that the money derived from the Kales of ships might be devoted to re instatements, which caused Senator Lenroot to remind him that money so received must go into the treasury and could not be . expended except by authority of congress. The brief hearing, today was not at all satisfactory, because the committee adjourned without any clear under t standing of the board's policy, as indi cated when the first testimony was taken Tuesday. A hearing in executive session wa sot for Saturday, when the committee will undertake to learn from Mr. Rosse ter whether the shipping board has any more definite policy in the matter of ship operation than it has with regard to ship construction. BullrirrM Kutlmatea Sought. After the hearing Mr. Rosseter again railed on representatives of the Pacific roast shipbuilders tsubmit estimates as Xo their best prices for building un der reinstatements. It appears to be settled fact that no yard building ships of sh than 7500 tons has any chance of receiving reinstatements, which would exclude one yard at Portland, Or. Pacific coast shipbuilders may find consolation in one discovery made to day. That is, that much more sweep ing cancelations of contracts had been intended until they came here and started the fight which has kept the members of the shipping board busy an swering questions and making explan tions for the last two weeks.
