maritime interests, is actually killing
off and destroying what little is left
of our American merchant marine in
these waters; for in addition to the
reasons already given these foreign
ships. having outward cargoes to Colon
guaranteed. are thereby enabled to take
return cargoes from West India ports
away from such American vessels as
might already have had that trade
We wish to ask if In your Judgment
this is a square deal? Is it just that
American laws should protect Ameri-
can labor and industries on land and
deny protection to American interests
on high seas? If American manu-
facturers. mechanics. farmers, miners,
llumberman, etc. are entitled to pre-
ference from this government in this
great notional work of building the
Isthmian canal why are not American
shipowners sailors and ship builders
also given some measure of support in
stead of the building of the canal with
American money being used as a weap-
on, as already stated, to ruin what little
we have left of the American merchant
marine?
Is II true that the committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce has re-
ported favorably to the house of rep
resetnatives a resolution, which passed
without any division whatever in the
senate. applying TO the transportation
of materials and equipment for the
/ Panama canal exactly the same prin-
ciple of protection or preference which
regulates the purchase of materials
and equipment.
AS a measure of simple justice, we
I aclx ha inf Of
in effort to have that bill pass the
house.
| 1t is asserted by European steam
/ ship companies as their agents, who
have influential representatives and at
torneys at Washington, lobbying
against the passage of this resolution
that its adoption would at least double
the cost of materials and equipment to
/ the canal zone. 1t is not only possible
but may be true that American ships
would. in the beginning at least, have
to charge a little more-for the same
reason that American machinery and
| other articles cost more; but 1t is also
doubtless true that If the congress
were to adopt this resolution, there
would quickly be such competition for
the business among American shipping
companies backed by American enter
prise and ingenuity, that before very
long vessels protected by the stars and
stripes would be upon every ocean, be-
cause of their modern method of doing
this work at less cost than foreign
boats have ever attempted to do it.
There is no place on earth where
freight is carried as cheaply as it is
| by the steamships of the Great Lakes,
as result of the installation of the
methods referred to; and what is true
upon fresh water can be quickly made
true upon salt water
May we not depend upon you to say
a few lines in favor of this measure, IL,
upon examination, you find the forego-
| ing facts to be true?
Yours most sincerely,
u JOHN A. PENTON,
Secretary.

PKE-ANDERSON
TO FIGHT AGAIN
Hammond Man Will Once
Again Go Up Against
Thunderbolt.

Morris Champagne received word
from Carl Anderson yesterday that he
had arranged for battle with Billy
Papke, the Spring Valley (Ill) wonder,
and that he would also take on a fight
er by the name of Robden, who is said
to be good.
Since Anderson's recent victory he
mad received many opportunities for
good fights and he will take some of
them. The fight with Papke will be
the most interesting of them all.
Anderson was Rocked out in one
punch at Spring Valley when he es-
sayed to give Papke a thrashing last
year, but he has always said that 1t
was a chance blow that put him out of
the running and Papks will now give
MIN chance to prove what he says.
II Anderson can make showing
against Papke it will give him a good
reputation as a fighter all over this
part of the country.
