there has been presented to the Navy
Department an exact comparison of
the cost of building and maintaining

collier of about the same capacity,
which shows an annual difference OF
S34,424 in favor of the operation of
the British collier.
1T Is true that the wages of sailors
and fremen on our Pacific coast are
higher than they are on the Atlantic
coast, whence the navy coal is shipped.
But it is also true that many such

Moreover, the spectacle of our bat

THE PROTEST OF
THE SHIP OWNERS
CARRYING CONTRACT WHICH THE ANERcAN-HAwAtAN
STEAMSHIP COMPANY AMERICAN SHIPPING INTERESTS
AND FOREIGN COMPARED NAVY ESCORTED RY FOREIGN
GOLFERS MAKE THE DEMO NsTRATIoN A FARCE

WASHINGTON. September 25-No
action will be taken by Secretary Met
calf for several days In regard to the
award of contracts for the large supply
of coal required by the battleship fleet
on its cruise to the Pacific next De
cember Owing to the important legal
and political questions involved I'm the
matter the Secretary naturally desires
to confer personally with the President
before reaching "a decision. II is re-
garded as probable that the Attorney
General will be called on for an opinion
respecting the legality Of the transpor-
tation of the coal from one American
port to another in foreign bottoms des-
pite the alleged prohibitory statutory
enactments.
There is every indication that Ameri-
can shipping interests will make a de-
termined effort to prevent the award OF
the big coal contracts to foreign snip
pers I'm spite of the lower bids of the
latter. Protests against such awards
have been already filed at the Navy
Department based on the published
statements that the contract will go
to foreign shippers if found to be for
the best interests of the government
Mr. w. l.. Martin, one of the repre-
sentatives of American shipping in
! terests, has filed a statement to show
that the proposed award to foreign
shippers would be a fragrant wrong to
American labor as well as to American
ships, owners and builders He says
that although the bids submitted ia
the department by the foreigners were
cans, it was due simply to cheaper
wages and subsidies. After declaring
that the higher rate asked by Ameri.
cans was not due to any combination
OF ship owners in this country nor tC
any desire to take advantage of the ne
cessities of the government, Mr. Marvin
stated the position Of the American
shippers as follows:
THE difference between the price a
which foreign ships can undertake t
convey our military stores and the
price at which American ship owner!
can perform the service Is simply {
question of wages, and in some cases
of foreign subsidies and boundaries
besides. 1t costs more money to builC
and operate an American ship, fol
exactly the same reason that it costs
more to build and operate an American
wooden factory in Massachusetts or al
American cotton factory in Georgia O
South Carolina. American manufac
turers are protected against foreign
competition and their wage earners arr
protected against the lower wages o
Europe and Asia by tariff duties aver
aging As per cent ad yalorem. Anne
rican ship owners are absolutely un
protected except by the coastwlse law
of the United States. And in this cas-
the Navy Department apparently hold
that the coastwise laws do not apply.

tain that the use of foreign ships b.

from our Atlantic to our Pacific port
is violation of the law of the Unite
States as indefensible and manifest a
