Are the European Steamship Lines
Drifting Into Bankruptcy

DAhAiHN AhAo Dt+hNiNlANe
A crisis Is threatened in the stcam-carry-
Ing trade between this country and Europe
II is caused by the now railway freight
lines. They threaten the existence o.. the
oldest lines Of ocean steamers. The man
ayers of the old lines have shown l1c!. Of
foresight. Months ago the New York Cen
trail Railroad rendered each % them the
facilities Of the grain elevators and other
terminal Improvements on the North RIVER.
The offer was not accepted, n nd the cstab-
lishment Of the Unicorn line followed. The
line, though not owned by tho Central Com
pany is a link connecting the railroad with
Europe 1t IS made up of the odds and cuds
of defunct English lines. In t.mc. guided

For months one oi tho old lines has boon
on the verge OF bankrurtc~. Il has paid It's
current expenses with difficulty. Pilots
found II harder 70 collect thoir fees than %
bring its ships into port. Tao limo was TO-
organized on the limited plan. Competing
lines, fearing that its vc-ro', Nigh, lc sold
and turned into freight ships, loaned il
money to tide over it, pressing hncds. THIS
was done tocontrol the ocean froi-hts. The
cheaply built and cheaply run iraght
steamers have frightened tho great Euro
pean companies. AMI they are combining for
protection. The backing OF the-o freight
lines by powerful railroad corporations has
intensified their fright.
The prospect IS gloomy. Millions have
been spent on swift steamers with 9umptuous
accommodations for passengers and no pro-
portionate capacity for freight. The craft
are kept like floating palaces M great
cost. They carry crews Of from $50
TO 200 men, For a long time they
have been returning firm Europe in
ballast or only partly laden. They brought
freight az rates that would hardly pay for
handling, and returned with cnrsocs az cut
