RECONSTRUCTION IRAS POOR CHANGE

BEFORE MARCH 4 Democrats in Congress Are Willing But Have No Program. WASHINGTON. Jan. 2. Turning into the "home stretch" of the present eRion, congress -will try to do some, reconstructing before March 4. But those who really want reconstruction measures put under way without delay, are afraid that this session will end empty of accomplishment. Congress ha no reconstruction program. It has not mapped out one of its own and no other governmental leader has given one, except In a general way. Democrats would like to pass all the necessary reconstruction legislation before M3rch 4, but their leaders frankly acknowledge they don't know what Is necessary and wise and what is not. Republicans want no reconstruction done until after they come Into power March 4. Delav now, thy say. makes an extra session Imperative. Rallrocul Problem F1rt. The effort toward reconstruction which is about to b made is to center on three subjects. The first is th. railroads. Director Gen. MeAdoo Is to appear Friday before the senate Interstate commerce committee when it openg Its hearings to determtne what congress ought to do about th; roads. MeAdoo Is to ho followed by other federal official, then by railroad men and representatives of the public. The next -nibjAct is industrial welfare. There Is a growing belief In congress that the government must take comlzance of the change that has come through th" war In the relative positions of capital and labor. Support Is growing for an Industrial welfare policy vhich shall bring to the Industrial world the sort of lasting peace and brotherhood that the league of nations is expected to bring to the political world. The senate education and labor committee within a few days will begin hearings of the Kenyon resolution for an Industrial welfare program. John D. Rockefeller. Jr . and Samuel Gompers will be among tho witnesses. Food Third Subject. The third subject Is food. The house Is shortly to begin investigation of the packing industry in considering a bill to put all packing houses under governmental control The whole subject of the high cost of living will be gone into in this house inquiry and a senate inquiry which will proceed at the same time. The farmer, the middleman, the packer. the consumer everyone concerned either In production, distribution, or consumption of food la to be represented. 0PAH LATEST EXCUSE FOR TAKING THE PLEDGE SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. A more or less official announcement by W. F. Thompson, fisheries Investigator of the State "Game and Fish Commissioner, that "bluefish pink" is the natural color of the Opah, a native Japanese fish, with polka dot fins, and that said Opah bears no resemblance to the red, white and blue elephants and purplish-red suakea that crawl through bedroom keyholes at times. Is all right, but it came too late. Several prominent Sunday fishermen had taken the pledge before the announcement was made. Thompson says the Opah probably became discontented In their home waters of Japan and wriggled across the Pacific. JANITORS ON STRIKE IN CHICAGO FOR INCREASE Ily United Tress: CHICAGO. Jan. 2.

DDCIl P neu u TO GERMAN General Director Hamburg American Steamship Co. Died Pessimistic Over War Outcome. SYDNEY, Australia. Nov. 23 (Correspondence.) Albert Ballln, general director of the Hamburg-American Steamship Co., who is reported to have committed suicide Just before the signing of the armistice, had predicted disaster for the German overseas trade as an outcome of the war. This is disclosed by the publication here of a letter which Herr Ballln had written In December, 1917, apparently to Dr. Rothenau, a privy councilor at Berlin. A copy of this letter was made public hero by J. M. Paxton, a resident of Sydney, who received it from a friend in London. In it Ballln declared that whether Germany or England was victorious in the war, the consequences to German trade would be disastrous. The letter reads In part: "Most of what we read in the newspapers as to our preparedness for embarking on brisk trade and manufactures as soon as peace has been concluded Is, I fear, written with the manifest Intention of heartening our people who are notoriously ignorant of our actual economic conditions and all that threat ens them," Tn Perilous Condition. He said that the German mercantile marine was In "a perilous condition," t.nd that the bill to reestab lish and strengthen It, which at the time of writing was before reichstag. wculd show no results for at least five years, Tn that time Germany's great maritime competitors, Britain and United States, and Japan, and the neutrals Norway, Denmark and Holland, would profit enormously. Ballln reminded his friend that he (Ballln) vainly begg-d Berlin authorities not to engage in unrestricted submarine warfare, and he continued: "You and I know ths.t the Americans are probably the most Idealistic nation on the earth's surface. In antagonizing America we hava done a disastrous thing, a thing which will throw a cold shadow on our economic life for a generation." The latter jart of Dallin's letter ran: "But If I am concerned about our relation? with the United States, I am still more anxious ibout our relations with Britain. I realize as never before that all the increase ih our wealth, all the succers which attended our enterprises In the year before the war, were owing to our intercourse with the British empire. Her home ports, her dominions and colonies, were freely opened to our shippers, and traders. Sometimes I wondered at this generosity, and even called It "folly. Is It to be ilmaginei for a moment that those old relations will return? i "I am not to be supposed, dear Herr G'?helmrat (Privy Councilor), as saying one word In favor of Britain's policy In this war. I believe that eh entered It from some base motives. "Consider what we are risking. We look forward to resuming our sea trade. We build our proudet expectations on th!.

The "big rtve" actually control 655 of these concerns, dealing In meats and other food commodities, while they hold minor interests which would lead to control eventually, Colver said. "Questionnaires ent to wholesale grocers by the federal trade commission revealed a widespread feeling that the large packing concerns are threatening the whole grocer trade." Colver said. Investigations by the commission showed packers dealing in canned goods, breakfast foods, fruits, groceries and one branch house was even dealing in coal, Colvor said. consequences will be the same disastor to our oversea trade if Britain so wills it. We may, in the event of victory, impose all sorts of conditions securing us mogt-favor-ed-nation treatment, securing us free entry into British porta everywhere. No sane man believes that these conditions will hlp us. "With a hostile British empire, galled and fretted with our military srecers, raging at its icsses, hopelessly alienated, how are we to procure the raw material which th.empire alone can supply?
