MERCHANT MARINE
THEME AT LUNCHEON
Members of League Discuss Inn
portance of Urging Congress
to Assist Shipping

For the purpose of discussing the de-
to outline a campaign for future activi-
ties the Merchant Marine league of
California held a luncheon at the Pal
ace hotel yesterday, which was attend
ed by over 100 prominent shippers and
merchants A number of sound, fact
filled speeches were made, and at the
conclusion of the luncheon the inter-
ested parties voted sufficient funds to
keep alive the propa ganda of education
and to aid in the formation of other
branches of the league.
Captain John Barneson presided. He
told of the deplorable condition into
which the merchant marine of this
country had fallen and said that the
meeting was called for the purpose of
formulating a strong, aggressive pol
icy for future development.
Fred c. Parker spoke of the history
of the league, of it's growth and the
necessity of support from all hands.
He was followed by Robert P. Troy,
who said that if was necessary for
every person who has the national
good at heart to join in the movement
for Increased shipping.
AT the present day" he said we
have 90 per cent of our foreign trade
carried in foreign bottoms, while in
1925 we carried 80 per cent of our for
eign commerce under the American
flag. l believe the time has come when
congress should be asked to give
bonuses for shipbuilding as well as
subsidies for carrying the mails
think the whole question should be
kept out of politics, as it is a question
of patriotism and not of party"
Naval Constructor Holden "a Evans
spoke of the necessity of continuing
work. Even on the Pacific coast, he
said. little is known by the average
man of the condition of our shipping.
"One of the great, needs for mer-
chant marine is in its connection with
the national defense" he said. I'VE
have absolutely no second class de-
fense in this country. We have to
bring our coal from the Atlantic to the
Pacific in foreign vessels. The restora-
ton of the merchant marine is not
only a question of commercial pre-
eminence, it is question of national
defense"
Charles H. Bentley, Captain I. N Hib-
bard. George W. Dickie and Andrew
Carrigan each spoke of the Importance
of the leagues work and advocated it's
continuance.
a mass meeting under the leagues
auspices will take place in Stockton
March 81. Captain I. N. Hibbard will
be the principal speaker.

Gompers Explains Unrest

WASHINGTON, March 17.-The un-
usual unrest in the world of labor at
the present time is attributed by Pres
ident Gompers of the American fedora
ton of labor to a combination of forces
anita gonistic to the cause of labor, de-
signed to crush the rights of the
workingman.
While not divulging the plans of the
labor organiza tions. he said today that
everything possible would be done by
them to protect the interests of the
working masses.
Although wages had not been gem
orally decreased, he said, the enormous
advance in the cost of living in the last
few years had rendered conditions tam
tamount to a decrease in the compen-
sation of the working classes.
He cited the court decisions involv-
ing labor under the sherman antitrust
law and said that all means would be
exhausted TO meet the situation.
Referring TO the court decisions in
the West Virginia mining case thai
sympathetic strikes are unlawful. Com
pers would not indicate the next step
of the labor organizations in the con-
test. but stated that the fight was GER
tainly an academic one and intimated
that the matter would not be permitted
TO rest in its present status, but would
be continued through all the avenues
of appeal possible for a successful out
come from the standpoint OF labor.
