UNITED PRESS LEASED WIKE.l
Sacramento, C'al., March 14. The lat
est solution offered for breaking up the
army of the unemployed now camped
for nearly a week on the bank kt the
Sacramento river opposite this city is
to' have the sheriffs of a half dozen
counties in the Sacramento valley ;jet
together, round -up the several hundred
men and each sheriff take a bunch of
them home with him. It the men refuse
the invitation to '"hike" to these dif-
rent counties they will likely be sub
jected to forceful methods.
Progress eastward is blocked todny
for the movement of the unemployed
army because of the order of Sheriff
McAnley of Placer county to the ef
fect that he will not allow even a small
baud to travel on foot through his coun-

Congressman Knowland Pre
ents Minority Report on
Free Passage Plan.
DOMINATION OF BRITAIN
Asserts It Is Abandonment of United
States' Logical Monroe Doctrine
Attiude
f UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE.
Washington, Marcli ' 14. Charging
President Wilson with "advocating
England's cause," Congressman Know
land today submitted to the house a
mniority report from the interstate and
foreign commerce committee on the pro
posed repeal of free -passage for Ameri
can shipping thro.igh the Panama cau'il.
British domination, the report assert
ed, caused the presidVinj 's demand for
repeal and the abandonment of the Uni
ted States' logical attitude under the
Monroe doctrine.,
"I vigorously protest," it contained,
"against any . attempt to force con
gress, through legislative enactment,
to give a British interpretation to the
Hay-Pauucefote treaty, thus surrender
ing rights affecting America commer
cially, strategically and politically.
Left Without Spokesman.
"An unparalleled situation confront?
the nation. The custodian of our
rights, our agent in dealing with for
eign affairs advocated England's cause.
We are left without a spokesman.
" Without the suggestion of referring
this vital question to arbitration, with
out attempting to settle it diplomatic
ally, unconditional and complete sur
render is urged."
Repeal, contended the. .report, would
be cowardice, notifying the world that
America had abandoned, tinder foreign
pressure "its traditional policy of an
Amorican-controlled canal, as affirmed
and defended by other presidents."
An Astounding Doctrine.
Reference was made to tho repeal
proposition as a virtual surrender of
the nation's constitutional power to
regulate domestic commerce and the
majority view on tho proposal to re
quire tolls from battleships was spoken
of as foreclosure of the American right
to pass war vessels through the canal
free.
"It is an astounding, pusillanimous
doctrine," added the' report, "that it
is unwise or unnecesnpry to urge our
contention, even tho lgh fully convinced
of its abstract righfulnoss, when a
foreign notion interprets a treaty
against America." .
Truckling to British.
If the nation consistently suuports
"this new doctrine thus truckling to
the British government," the report
went on, "it must repeal tho provision
in the canal law that no railroad shf.ll
operate a competing lino of ships
through the canal."
It was charged that Canadian rail
roads inspired the British protest.
