United States United States
FOREIGN SHIPS AS COAL CARRIERS
Resolution to Suspend Coastwise Navigation
Laws Considered

Washington Dec. 19-The House COMMITTEES on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries tc day considered
the Mccall resolution to suspend the operations
of the coastwise navigation laws so as TO permit
foreign ships to carry coal from one port TO
another on the coast. Many kilograms. letters
and statements were read indicating that at this
time there apparently is not only suffciency
but large surplus OF tonnage available for the
transportation of coal and that 1t is a scarcity
Of coal, ships. which is causing the trouble
II was stated before the committee that an un-
reasonable and extortionate rate Of freight is
being charged for the transportation OF coal from
the shipping ports to the market ports. and that
in Boston. where the greatest number OF these
complaints originate. the lack Of facilities &c un-
load coal rapidly it comes to the market
the greatest obstacle to the distribution Of
that commodity. The statement was made that
there was at one time within week hfteen
schooners laden with coal waiting to be dis
charged and that the iraGeQuacy of the docks
of the chief troubles at Boston.
The committee postponed further consideration
of resolution until the first week of the
sion following the holiday recess If the reso
luton should be passed; it is said. it would be in
the interest of a reduction of freight rather
than because Of any scarcity Of tonnage.
