Correspondence giving the details of

AS to Shamaka, it is to be feared

An eyewitness thus relates his expert

There were two distinct shocks. at 8
and II a. M. respectively. but the peo

FILE MINORITY REPORT
Democratic Position With Refer
ence to Ship Subsidy Bill
Stated in Senate.
Measure Declared to Be Wrong
in Principle and Purely Class
Legislation.
Present Bill Would Defeat the
Object Sought to Be
Attained.

| Washington, March Ex-senator
Berry, representing the minority of the
senate committee on commerce today
presented report in opposition to the
pending ship subsidy bill. Most OF
| the points have been covered IN
speeches in the senate. The minority
deny the accuracy of both the pre-
dicationS and facts in the majority
report. They urge that the bill Is
wrong in principle and declare it Will
utterly fail in accomplishment OF Its
objects. They also say that while II
is not so complicated as the subsidy
bill of the 56th congress, 1T is I'M some
respects even more Objectionable. The
minority continue: "rhe bill proposes
to tax the whole people to the extent
of several millions for the benefit or
single industry. Besides the stattstlcs
Of the last two years prove the snip
building industry does not need such
special assistance but is rapidly in
creasing under natural conditions
They criticize the feature of the bill
which carries subsidy for foreign
mails, and say: The highest rate
Sof subsidy is given to twenty-knot
vessels while fast ocean mails are real
ly carried in % and 24knot vessels.
Ihe mail compensation to slow Amer
can vessels is already too high and
Is made immensely higher by this
bin. We pay more for weekly SER
vice than England pays for semi-
weekly service by much faster ships
than ours.
They further urge that the bill makes
no provision against a shipping trust
and claim 1t encourages combination
leading to such trust. They also say:
Lines might also merge with foreign
lines to control freight and passenger
rates Thereby our subsidy would be
aiding foreign partners OF our sub
sidized vessels" The report closes by
saying: I'VE know there are hundreds
of thousands of industries IN our
country doing losing business, but we
deny that congress. for this reason,
can go into the public treasury to
save them from bankruptcy. We
ssmpathize with all men in the hard
struggles of life, but is is not the duty
of our government to interfere in the
private business affairs of the citizen.
we believe all mon should have an
equal and fair chance in the race for
wealth and happiness and every citi.
zen should bear his share of the
burdens of government. One class
should never be the resipient Of bene-
fits not given to others. Absolute
equality of rights is doctrine we
should never abandon. The bill is
wrong in principle, unjust, vicious
and pure class legislation"

states claim against the government
on account of the premium on gold

claim of the state against the general
government amounts to nearly $780,

that now stands in the way of its pay

vent the secretary of the treasury from
asking congress to appropriate that
sum of money to reimburse the
Hawkeye state for the premium it paid
on it's bonds. Should Secretary Shaw
recommend an appropriation to pay
