AVERT STRIKE IN HARD COAL FIELDS

SIM'S CHARGES CONTRADICTED

BY OFFICIAL Declares if Recommendations Were Adopted It Would Be Disastrous. LETTERS INTRODUCED Navigation Officer's Communication With Admiral Read at Session. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, March 24.--After Capt. Horace Lanning, former assistant chief of navigation, had told the senate committee investigating the Sims-Daniels row Wednesday that the navy had been without a comprehensive plan for the war and that chaos virtually existed. Sen. Trammell, democrat, of Florida, confronted the captain with a letter he had written to Admiral Sims on August. 18, 1918, saying he was "not convinced" that the bureau of operations "had erred in its general plans" and saying also that had some of Sims' recommendations been adopted they would have been "disastrous." Sen. Trammell contended that Lanning's 1etter was a complete contradiction of some of the Sims' charges and also some of the chart's in Lanning's statement of today but the captain contended his letter referred to a period in the war later than that involved in the charges by Admiral Sims. Scores Daniels. "Personal characteristics," of Secretary Daniels often made it impossible to obtain approval of important plans and policies, Capt. Lanning asserted, as the personal interest taken by him in minor affairs "occupied so much time that he never had much left to give us for really important problems." Capt. Lanning testified that at the time war was declared there was not a sufficient reserve of 14 inch shells to refill the magazines of the dreadnaughts and that the bureau of ordnance had to obtain the aid of the bureau of operations to bring the matter to the secretary's attention impressively enough to get authority to let contracts. In a memorandum Admiral Benson gave Secretary Daniels the admonition that "without shells for the guns battleships are worthless" and that "they not only cannot delend themselves but cannot fight to save the country." After several weeks delay, Capt. Lanning said, the shells were ordered. Other Charges. Other charges made by the witness were that the departtnent in the years immediately preceding the war did not advocate legislation and policies that would prepare the navy for hostilities; that when it was apparent war could not be avoided the department still refused to prepare; that lack of coordination in the department during the early months of the war, reduced the effectiveness of American participation and added to the cost and that when war was declared the navy department told the country that the navy was ready when it in reality was known that it would take at least 100 days to prepare even the latest ships for active service. Sen. Trammell, democrat, Florida, read a letter written by the captain to Rear Admiral Sims in August, 1918, apparently in answer to a letter from the admiral criticizing department for not cooperating (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR) AD CLUB SPEAKERS NATIONALLY KNOWN Gridley Adams Has Stirring Message for Retailers--Women Invited.
