6 A .HE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 25, 1917. CAPPS RESIGNS AS HEAD 0FU.S. FLEETPROGRAM III Health Assigned as Reason for Withdrawal; Reports of Friction Rampant; Suc cessor Not Chosen. (Br Associated Pmt) Washington, Nov. 24. Rear Ad miral WashiriKton L. Capps, general manager of the shipping -board's emergency fleet corporation, was relieved from d';y in that posi tion tonight by President .Wilson at his own request by ill health and with expressions of deepest regret by the chief executive. His successoi has not been named, but Chairman v Hurley of the board was known to favor the appointment of a man 4 trained in the same service. While Admiral Capps' physician has advised him that to continue at work, either on .he fleet corporation or in any other capacity would imperil his life, there were reports that friction between the admiral and Chairman Hurley hastened the former's decision to retire. He would have been forced to resign in any case within a few weeks, according to those who know his physical condition, but the recent action of the shipping board in reor ganizing the fleet corporation with Charles A. Piez, as vice president in virtual charge of the ship construction program, was said to have influenced the admiral to withdraw without more dplav. - There was not much discussion to- niaht a to the nrobable selection bv the president or a successor to Ad miral Capps. Homer L. . Ferguson, president and general manager of the Newport News Ship Building and Dry Dock company and formerly a naval construtcor; is known to have declined the post. Secretary Daniels " conferred with Chairman Hurley on the matter tonight, but so far as was made known they reached no decision ' Assistant May Retire. There have been reports that Rear Admiral F. T, Bowles, Admiral Capps' chief assistant, also would retire, but no announcement was made tonight. , As the situation was oresented bv those familiar with events transpir ing within the shipping board and emergency fleet corporation since Chairman Denman and General Goethals resigned as heads of these two interlocked government agencies after a clash of opinion, the shipping board in assuming responsibility for tne carrying through of the enormous production program outlined by Chairman Hurley has virtually taken over the actual direction of building .operations. Mr. Hurley feels that the designing part 01 tne corporation's work is so well advanced that all efforts should be concentrated unon construction. For that reason it aoneared oossible that Admiral Capps successor might be selected purely for his ability to drive through the construction pro-gram.'i , Tribute was freely paid tonight to .Admiral uipps on all sides for the work tie has done in organizing the corporation's office after he took rharsre fnllnwinir tli' , Tlonman- uoetnals dispute. Italy in Throes of Bloody ; Battle in Piave Theater Italian Headquarters in Northern 9Italy, Nov. 24. The battle between ;the Fiave and Brenta rivers in the .hilj leading to the .Venetian plain is reaching a climax with t fury of ac tion exceeding antyhing that has thus ; far taken place on that front. Some i positions, after fluctuating in furious .iass attacks, in which the Germans r joined the Austriatts, are again in the . hands of the Italians, who made a magnificent charge up the slopes. Up and down the slopes this fearful carnage is proceeding and four at tacks have been swept back over the (Italian lines over ; heaps of enemy dead. Only at one point has the enemy succeeded in making headway pvith Jns overwhelming numbers and here the Italians have given ground with the final issue still in doubt.

LABOR DEFINES ITS ATTITUDE IN WAR Statement Clarifies Points For merly in Doubt; Does Not Say There Shall Be No Strikes. (By Associated Press.) Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 24. The Amer ican Federation of Labor tonight by a unanimous vote adopted a state ment of the conditions and principles that must be applied to industrial problems arising from the war so far as union labor is concerned. The declaration is regarded as in line with the general understanding that has existed between President Wilson and President Gompers, but there are some points that have been in doubt which the statement clari fied. The declaration does not say there shall be no strikes. "It is advisable," the final para graph says, "that production shoud not cease because of an apparent in justice or oversight contained in an award, for it is necessary to the na tion s production as well as the wel fare of the trade union movement that Ohio Issues Coal Cards, Due to Shortage Youngstown, O., Nov. 24. Coal cards permitting each holder to pur chase only a fixed amount of coal will be issued in Youngstown within a few days, it was announced tonight, after a survey of the small amount of fuel in the city had been made. The Chamber of Commerce an nounced the shortage here had be come so serious that a regulated distribution system is imperative. there should be no cessation of work except as a last resort." The right to organize is claimed as essential to the solution of all prob lems arising between employer and labor, and equal representation will be asked with the employer on all wage boards and commissions. Wage conditions, the statement says, will be governed by several vital factors to be considered apart from the increased cost of living, some of these factors mentioned being the comparative wage scale in otlfcr establishments in the same district and whether it was reached by col lective bargaining between employer and employe. The convention adjourned at mid night, with the election of officers as the special order of business for tomorrow. JAPS WON'T AID ALLIES UNLESS RUSS DO SHARE Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 24. Unless the interna! disorders of Russia are subdued and the co-operation of the Rnssian troops is guaranteed, the en tente powers need expect little as sistance from their Japanese ally on the eastern front, declared A. Kas ama, a member of the Japanese im perial railway commission, in an ad dress here today. "The sending of Japanese troops to Russia is a serious question con fronting the allies," he said. "It would be of little value to send assistance to Russia as long as the people are quarreling among them selves. Until the co-operation of Russian troops can be obtained, in my opinion, Japan will not send any men to their assistance. But if that co-operation can be guaranteed, Japan will send all the men that are necessary, not only to the eastern front, but to the western front also."
