THE SHIP SUBSIDY CRAFT.

From a speech made few days
ago by Secretary Shaw. in Philadel

another effort rs soon 10 be made 10

the presence in Washington of the
old crowd Of subsidy sharks. deter

treasury. The plan which seems TO
have been agreed upon is that com

scheme which will legalizc the
raid.
In their effort to create popular favor
the advocates have cited other coun.
tries which have adopted the ship
sibsidy scheme Of reEablltating their
merchant marine; but there has been
much misrepresentation on this

no countries in proportion t. their
population have paid gfetlef sub.

Presumably the several aldermen
referred to are Aldermen Meehan

The aldermen did not close the con
