Washington, Nov. ID Boost along
the ship subsidy idea This time it
must be put through!''
This is the word that has been passed
to the standpatters in Congress, and the
approaching session may witness the
passage of a ship subsidy bill which
came within an ace of becoming a law
at the hands of the sixtieth Congress.
President Taft started the ball roll
ing in his Seattle speech, and there is
istines will permit the steamship COM
panies to receive millions of dollars in
contributions from the treasury of the
United States, Notwithstanding there
was a deficit of $s9,000,000 in the ma
tional finances for the fiscal year end
ing June 30.
There will be plenty of opposition to
the passage of ship subsidy legislation
Not only the Democrats will oppose it
There will be few Republicans who
may refuse TO bow to the viii of the
ft-Aldrich-Cannon triumvirate.
However. if the Taft wing of the
party, which is the wing that will here
after collect the campaign funds of the
special interests, have resolved to have
ship subsidy legislation pasesd. it WI.

United States backing them in every
thing they do, are still in control of the
law-maklng machinery OF the Unite /
States, and may grind out any kind OF
legislation they wish. The Democrats
and handful of so-ealled insurgents may
fight until the COWS come home, but
without much hope of success until the
people give them a working majority
in Congress
Some critics of President Taft's ship
subsidy ratification speech cbaroe that
he used terms that were nothing If not
misleading. He said that aa our Tor
eign mail service is conducted at a
profit of S6,000,00 or $1,000. .000. he
would utilize portion of the receints
IN giving subventions to one or two ex-
perimentai new lines TO South America
and the Orient. 1t is opintei out that
the president did not explain that the
postoffice department on the whole is
run at lose, and that if the $4,000,
900 or $7,00o,e00 of profits accruing
from the foreign mail branch of the de
partment should be donated to private
ship-owners, it would simply mean that
the postad deficit would be increased
by those amounts.
That something should be done to
resuscitate American shipping, which,
according to ship-builders and ship
owners,s has been driven from the seas
by high tariffs, is evident to both po-
litical parties
There was time, in the sos and
'60s, when the United tates had a
large merchant marine. 1t flourished
without the aid of government dona-
tions. American shipping dwindled,
owing to three causes:
1. Antiquated navigation laws-re-
tanned on the statute books largely
through the influence of one or two
powerful ship p-builders-which refuse
American registry to vessels purchased
abroad or to those in which a foreigner
has any interest.
.. The increased cost of iron, steel
and other materials used in building
ships.
3. The injury done our foreign trade
through prohibitive tariff rates, whict
shut out imports, and therefore, accord
ing to the known laws of trade. shut
in exports.
While American shipping has diet

shipping has increased proportionately

EXPLOSION IN MINE
TEN DEAD AND 2S4 STILL EN-
TOMBED IN CHERRY, ILL,
COAL MINE.


Cherry, Ill, Nov 13-Ten deal
bodies have been recovered and 2S4 are
still entombed, as the result of an ex-
plosion of coal dust in the mine of the
St. Paul Coal company There is little
chance for any of the entombed miners
being rescued alive. Two hundred men
had just been lifted from the shaft
when the explosion occurred. Flames
and great volumes of smoke poured mp
from the entrance, which was boarded
up to extinguish the fire, thus cutting
off all escape for the entombed men.
One miner who escaped said there were
460 men left in the mine, all of whom
he believed to be dead. The fans had
been cut off, and the only chance for
the miners was to retire into the ex-
treme and of the mine, where some air
might exist. A cage sent down after
the explosion returned with ten dead
and the supposition is that they were
loaded into it by someone alive.

BrItlsh, Amerlc
Mimic, TT,pC Million II

Joseph Chamberlain, who is father
ing the movement to substitute protec-
tion for free trade in England, prom
ises that if he should ever be success
full. he would not think of permitting
an import duty to be levied on any ma
terial used in the construction of ships,
as he realizes British maritime suprem-
acy is due largely to cheap ship-building
materials At the same time, American
ship builders declare that the tariff on
ship building materials is so high as to
make it absolutely impossible to con
struct ship with any profit.
Germany, one of the protecting
nations, also realizes the importance of
cheap ship-building materials. Al
though maintaining high import duties
on most things, materials for use in
the construction of ships in Germany
are admitted free Of duty. As an al
mitted consequence of free ship builj
ing materials, German shipping IS IN
creasing so fast that Great Britain is
taking keen notice of her rival.
That an honest downward revision OF
the tariff on ship building materials, n
the event they cannot be placed on tbs
free list. would be a fairer way t.
place American shipping on its feet
than to donate public money to pri
vate ship owners, is the position of tht
