I SHOALS FGii FORD
MADDEN TO URGE GOVERNMENT
TO REPLACE GORGA3 PLANT
WITH A NEW ONE
LIMITS COST OF NEW PLANI
■ New Bill Intended To Meet Mr. Ford'l
Objection To Present Status
Of The Project
Washington.—Acceptance of Henrj
Ford’s offer for the Muscle Shoals,
Ala., water power and fertilizer proj
ect, through government construction
o fu now steam auxiliary opwer plant
to replace the Gorgas plant disposed
of recently to the Alabama Fowei
company, Is provided In a bill prepar
ed by Representative Madden, Repub
lican, Illinois, for introduction imme
diately upon assembling of the new
congress.
The bill will be introduced either
by Representative Madden or by Rep
resentative McKenzie, Republican,
Illinois, of the committee which orig
inally brought forth the legislation
that died in the last congress. It will
bo similar to the original legislation!
except for the addition of anew sec
tion designed to meet conditions re
sulting from the sale of tho Gorgas
Steam Power plant.
Under the now section, Represen
tative Madden would have the govern
ment, through the war department,
substitute an auxiliary steam power
plant capable of developing 40,000
horsepower. The bill would author
ize construction of tho plant directly
by the government or its construction
under contract by Henry Ford or his
corporation. Another provision would
authorize tho war department to ac
quire, by condemnation or otherwise,
a Bito for the Bteam power plant on
the Black Warrior river near Lock
Ho. 17 and a strip of land connecting
to Dam No. 2.
A limitation on the cost of the aux
iliary plant Is provided under Repre
sentative Madden’s draft of the new
legislation. It Is stipulated that the
•cost of tho now plant should not be
more than the amount received by the
government—about $3,500,000 —from
the sale of tho Gorgas plant.
Representative Madden said he
thought the new bill would meet Mr.
Ford's objection to the present status
of the project. After the Gorgas plant
was sold, Mr. Ford announced that It
was an integral necessity, a vital con
sideration of his bid for the entire
development, power and fertilizer, and
that his offer could not stund with
the Gorgas plant gone. Representa
tive Madden said that he believed his
plan to have tho government con
struct a substitute power plant would
meet all of Mr. Ford’s objections and
mako acceptance the Ford offer pos
sible as well as desirable.
That other and large power con
cerns were considering offers to tho
government for Muscle Shoals has
been reported, Represontativ Madden
admitted, but ho expressed the belief
that Mr. Ford was best equipped to
develop Muscle Shoals.

able at the white house, and Senator
Lodge maintained his customary reti
cence. Information is that the presi

and tho political situation.
Lloyd-George Scores Protection Policy
Northampton, England.—Former
Premier Lloyd-George condemned the
policy of the Conservatives as not be
ing a remedy for unemployment. The
real reason for lack of employment
was the Impoverishment of Great Urit
ain's customers in consequence of the
war, he said, and the first thing to
do to remedy the situation is to put
these customers again in a position to
buy. "At this moment it is a settle
ment in Europe you want —protection,
not against French mills, but against
French militarists,” he said.
