WILL ATTEMPT TO REVIVE
THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
Ship Trust. Threatened by Financial
Breakers. VIII Ask Congress- to
Throw It q Life Line.

Washington, Aug. 36.-Indications are that
the Ship Trust, which is so badly threat
ened by financial breakers, will seek a
life line by attempting to revive and push
the defunct ship subsidy bill through Con-
gress at the next session.
Just how the Ship Trust expects to con-
vince the National Legislature that their
troubles are due to lack of ship subsidy is
not apparent. but the old argument that
high prices of labor and material prevent
ehipbuilding competition with foreign ship
building yards is being carefully busted
preparatory to the opening of Congress
Senator Frye of Maine and Senator Ham
ma, who in the past were the chief spon-
sors of the bill, 1t Is understood. have been

pany to see what can be done toward re-
viving the subsidy movement.
Letters which come to the Navy Depart
ment from those companies that are be-
hind In work on naval vessels and cancel
lation Of contracts breathe in every line
the financial distress with which they are
difficulties are pitiable.
Certain officials OF the Navy Department
are inclined to think that the movement
presented to the President before he re-
turns to Washington and that his support
will be asked for subsidy bill incorpora-
ting some new ideas but without the fea-
lures which were found Objectionable
enough to cause its defeat when last acted
upon by Congress.
What new features are contemplated can
not be learned. Doubt is expressed. how
ever, that President Roosevelt will be much
inclined to make urgent request of Con-
gress for subsidy legislation. On the eve

recommending too much leg Station What
legislation he deems necessary he will
