At the present time we are paying

at the time when the great American

were foreign vessels carrying sup
plies of coal to them.
THE ship subsidy bill was defeated
three years ago by three votes and
last year by one vote. We Of the sea-

ships have to be built in American
yards and with American labor and
material. With the high cost of labor
and material this adds fifty per cent
to the total cost of the vessel.
Wages Factor.
THE wages paid to the men and
crew of an American ship are very
much higher than those paid In the
service. Our American navy laws re-
quire certain rations for the men and
as a matter of fact these are much
better than those given to the men in
the navy. All these items Of expense
add considerably to the cost of main
tenance.
Most foreign governments also sub
sidize shipping. Up to recently when
larger ships were put onto the run
between China and Japan and San
Francisco, the three vessels were get

steamship lines special privileges
which enable them to compete with
success with other lines of other for

England all give subsidies In one form
or another and as consequence the
ships of these nations have increased
In number from year to year.
THE opposition In the United States /!
comes largely from those sections OF
the country which are removed from
the seaboard and there is q strong
sentiment in the Southern States
against subsidizing the steamship
lines. = Up to the present only two
members from the south have de- /,
clared in favor of that form of pro-

mand for legislation, is growing
throughout the States, however. and
the time must come when something
will be done to rehabilitate the Amer
