The war department **uhmitteil to the comptroller a form of cancellation agreement under which it wan proposed to aliandon without unjust loss to contractors thousands of war t-upply contracta. He refused to approve the agreement, holding that the department may not agree with a contractor on an arbitrary sum to cover liabilities unless specific authorization for this ia given in a previously existing contract. A large proportion of war ortlers were given informally by telephone, telegraph or letter It ls said. In such cases the comptroller held new legislation wlll be necessary to permit framing of agreements for cancellation. In the confusion and haste of war, many manufacturers pr*>ceeded with tremendous order* on telegraphic instructions of subordinate army officers and the termination of hostilities found tham unprotected by legal contract. The authority of the comptroller, who haa rendered then- position questionable, grow.** out of hi** supervision of all paymenta by the treasury tin order of other departments. jn submitting the tentative form for a standard cancellation contract, Secretary Huker explained that "it Is Important in the Intereat of latx*r and the Industrial security of the country that the.**e plants (referring mainly to munition faclor- Iaa) ha returned to commercial worn as speedily aa practicable aud m> far aa possible without u break In thalr con- tlnoua operation und employment of hsbor." Serretark Baker continued: "Tho war department believes that aiiny auch contractors are willing to forego the prospective profits on the remainder of the work contemplated by tha contract and terminate the existing contract on a ba.-!s which would amount substantially to compensation for expenditure* Incurred and profits not to exceed ten percent on the cost of tho unfinished articles on hand—a baeis more favorable to the government than the trrma of tho contract would permit—If they can secure promtply a sub.tantial portion of this rum so as to release their working capital for switching back to commercial work. The department therefore desires to enter Into i-upplcrnentary contracts with such contractors by which a sum well within what It ls certain would have to be paid by the government on auch basis of adjustment will lie paid Immediately to the contractor upon his eoneent to a termination of the original contract and a release to the government from all Its obligations thereunder, Ihe department agreeing to pay substantially auch additional sum aa tha Secretary of War may demtermlne will complete payment to the contractor on auch basis of adjustment." Comptroller Warwick held that nn blank form of contract could lie devised to cover all cancellations. He declared that caaes Involving only equitable claims cannot be settled by executive officers without new legislation. Word of the death or Glenn Whet Pre., to The nevl*»w , ,, „ ... .,_ „_,,* \tr.

Nov. 29. — Repeal of the increased postage rates was approved today by the Senate finance committee.

The top notch has not been reached ln the l'nited War Work drive though the climbing is exceedingly slow. Today the Woman's Committees redoubled their energies in the campaign with the intention, lf possible, to leave no stone unturned in an effort to reach the 190,000 quota fixed by Manager B. F. Stanton this week. Between $8,000 and $9,000 are lacking and this the women with the assistance of the merchants and farmers hope to raise. As haa been said the shops of the city have all responded over the top. The question Is, have you done your part? There are hundreds in the city that failed to give, in this, the most important campaign since the one Inaugurated by the Bed Cross . Men who should have given $100 or more have given $5 and ln rare cases men who could not afford to give more than $5 have given $60 to $100. Some of the ladles will call upon some persona who have not yet given their mite to help ln the work. Don't lie a slacker. / DEATHTiraiDNIA Wife of John Strara of Eaat Oxford Street Passes Away Mrs. Mary Straza, wife of John Strata, 742 East Oxford street died at four o'clock this Kriday 'morning following brief Illness from Influenza, pneumonia contributing.
