What Admiral Cowles Says.

Admiral Cowles said the proposals that
had been submitted showed there would be
no difficulty in securing all the coal needed
II was disappointed. however" he said, in
not obtaining more proposals for shipping
coal i'll American bottoms. From hasty
survey of the estimates submitted as far as
they have been tabuiated we will be able
to SHIP American coal in foreign bottoms at
a cheaper rate than We can obtain Welsh
coal so there will be no necessity for re-
sorting to that.
Owing to varying details of the bids no
accurate statement can yet be made as to
which is likely to be accepted. The bid
ders were: United States Shipping Com
psny F. B. Nichols Howard Holder and
partner. Ed Luekenbach, West India

Claimed to Be Illegal.

American shipping interests maintain
that the use of foreign ships by the Navy
Department to convey coal from our At
lantic to our Pacific ports is violation of
the law of the United States as indefen-
sible and manifest as any violation Of law
by the Standard Oil Company. And Ameri-
can shipping interests believe, moreover,
that the use of foreign ships for this
tionaI service because of the cheaper wage
rate at which they were built and main
tanned is complete betrayal of the pro-
tective policy by national administration
solenlnly pledged to maintain it.

Protests OF American Shippers.
There is eve y indication that American

effort to prevent the award of the big coal

the lower bids of the latter. Protests
against such awards have been already
filed at the Navy Department based on the

Position of American SHIPPERS.
Mr.. w. L. Mar n. one of the represent
atives of American shipping interests. has
filed q statement 10 show that the pro-
posed award TO foreign shippers would be
d fragrant wrong to American labor as
well as to American ships. o tners and
builders. He says that, although the bids
submitted to the department by the for
eigners were lower than those submitted
by Americans, il was due SIMPLY to cheaper
wages and subsid es. After declaring that
he higher rate ask d by Americans was
not due to any combination of ship owners
in this country nor to any desire to take
advantage of the necessities OF the govern
ment Mr. Marvin stated the position of the
A III .ricau shippers as follows:
The difference between the price at which
fore en- ships can undertake to convey our
military stores and the price at which
American ship own .rS can perform the
service is simply question of wages, and IN
some cases of foreign subsidies and bounties
besides 1t costs more money to build and
operate an American ship. for exactly the
same reason that it costs more to build
and operate an American woo en- factory in
Massachusetts or an American cotton FAC
tory in Georgia or South Carolina Ameri-
can manufacturers are protected against
foreign competition and their wage earn
ers are protected against the lower wages
of Europe and Asia by tariff duties aver
ship owners are absolutely unprotected ex-
cept by the coastwise laws of the United
States. And In this case the Navy Depart
ment apparently aolds that the coastwise
laws do not apply.

Wages on Foreign Golfers.

las illustrating the causes which compel
American shipowners to charge a higher
price than foreign shipOwners, there has
been presented to the Navy Department an
exact comparison of the cost of building
and maintaining an American and Brit
ish steam collier of about the same capac-
ity which shows annual difference of
s34 424 in favor of the operation of the
British collier
1T is true that the wages of sailors
and firemen on our Pacific coast are higher
than they are on the Atlantic coast, whence
the navy coal is shipped. But 1t is also
true that many such British steamers as
the MasconomO employ white foreign
sailors whom this wage scale is based.
but cheap Asiatics working from = to y
a month-Lascars and Cinnamon. This
employment of foreign ships in violation of
the coastwise laws and in defiance Of every
principle OF national prudence and fair play
is therefore, not only wrong to American
shipONnerS and builders. but is a fragrant
wrong to American labor.
Moreover the spectacle of our battle
ship fleet escorted, fed and nursed around
the coast of South America by an at
tendant fleet of British and other foreign
GOLFERS will make an utter farce of what
was intended to be impressive demon

 The public should bear III mind when taking insurance that they l should know what they are get, ting as the passage of the Lee Browning bil1 does not make companies good, but gives a chance to have more good com panieS in the state and the large number of cheap companies will try to use this to secure the con fdence of the people.
