day, decided to modify its recent admin
istrative ruling that shipments destined
from points in the United states to Por-
to Rico, the canal zone or the Philip
pine islands, are eoastwise shipments.
The precise terms of the modified orde-
are not yet available, but they will
amount practically to withdrawal of
the order.
The original ruling Of the commission
was recognized instantly as of vital inn
portance to vessel owners throughout the
world. Under the statutes of this coun-
try, coastwise shipping may be carried
only in American vessels The com
merce between the United states and the
canal zone, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines now is carried largely by steam
ers or sailing vessels flying foreign flags.
BY the terms of the commissions ruling,
shipments to the territories named could
be carried only in American ships.
The ruling was hailed joyously By
American. shipbuilders, one of whom in
formed the commission. yesterday, that

however. and particularly the Isthmian
