A protest signed by J. w. Lee, Of
Pittsburg; Thomas W. Phillips, of New
Castle, and Clarence Walker, of Butler,
a committee appointed by the Pure Oil
company, a corporation composed of
some 700 independent oil producers, has
been addressed to members of the House,
protesting against the passage of the
ship subsidy bill, which measure has al
ready passed the Senate and is being
considered by the House Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries. The
protest states that the direct effect Of
the bill will be to aid in the establish
ment upon the high seas of a partial, if
not complete, monopoly of the ocean
carrying trade. Continuing, the protest
claims that the bill violates the spirit if
not the letter of the Constitution, which
says that no tax or duty shall be impos-
ed on articles exported from any State.
In concluding, the protest adds:
THE Pure Oil company protests
against this bill, because it gives a
bounty to tank steamers carrying pc
troleum, which has ranked third as an
export, and thus discriminates in favor
of some shippers prepared to take ad
vantage of its provisions and against all
those who cannot transport in subsidiz-
ed ships. We neither ask bounty, mol
do we desire that others receive it who
do not need the advantage of this pre-
ference and can use it for the destruc:
tion of their competitors. 1t will moi
increase by barrel the amount of oil
exported, but may operate to limit its
expectation.
