against H. R. bill No. 29,713, entitled

against American sailing vessels IN
the coasting trade" and as well any
other measure having for it's object
the deprivation to the several states
Of the right to enact pilotage laws
for the government of their respec-
tive ports, because we feel that the
several states should have the right
to prescribe by legislation regulations
covering such matters, this policy

ing proved satisfactory by protecting
the channels, the vessels and the car
goes. and thus benefitting the owners
of vessels and the shipping interests
