BILL MEETS
WITH GENERAL FAVOR
Ship Subsidy Measure Drawn Up
That Will Disarm Hostile
Criticism.

Washington, Dec. PA ship subsidy
bill that can pass congress and meet the
approval Of the President seems to be IN
sight. Congressman Humphreys Of Wash
ington and members Of the merchant ma
rine committee Of the house visited Pres
ident Taft today and laid before him a
bill introduced at the last session with
amendments that have since been made.
The amended bill met the approval of the
President, 1t is said.
Mr.. Humphreys and John Hays Ham
mond "a member CT the committee that
had the matter in charge, agreed that the
bill would not be made public until it
is introduced in congress on January l.
Further than to say that the amended
bill is neither a straight ship subsidy
measure proposing to subsidize by ton
mage and voyage, nor a mail subsidy bill,
no members Of the committee would tell
of it's provisions.
It is known, however, that the amend
ments were worked out with the aid Of
the Merchant Marine league, which has
it's headquarters at Cleveland, o., and the
bill will have the support Of the organi-
cation.
