MAY HIT BELFAST
VERY HARD BLOW

BELFAST. Dec. Wv. J. Pierre,
chairman Of the Harland and Wolff
Shipbuilding company and director Of
the internationally Mercantile Marine
company, said in an interview tonight
that he knew nothing about the re-
ported claim OF the United States
treasury department for s250,0oo as
duty on $500, 600 spent in repairing the
steamer st. Louis. The report of the
claim against the st. Louis has caused
a sensation here because should it be
supported by decision of the United
States supreme court. to which it is
understood appeal would be made. it
would upset the terms Of the agree
ment between the International Mer-
camille Marine: company and the Har-
land Wolff company under which the
building and repairing of the combines
vessels was to be done at Belfast for
ten years. The ST.. Louis. has been at

Herbert V. Ready of San Francisco.

paper devoted to opposition to trade

sympssthize with the Citizens Alliance

does not play at small games.

He is now devoting his time stirring

RIGHTS OF THE AMERICAN BOY.

VI @NB@nu0F@N oS
The Citizens Alliance is devoting
much Of it's time to a discussion Of the
right Of a boy to learn a trade, It holds
that the trade union has arbitrarily
barred the young American from be-
coming an artisan. Were the members
Of the Alliance sincere In their discus
sion of the question, their opinions
would have more weight. with the
public in general. The fact is that
American. employers In their desire to
get labor as cheaply as possible have
greatly abused the apprentice system.
In but few of the trades has there been
any regulation. about the length OF
service. In other countries boys are
obliged to serve a given time, and
during their apprenticeship they are
thoroughly schooled in their trade. In
this country there has been too much
discrimination. ...:. =:
