Shipping
Trust to
be PrObed
Ship Company President
Says South American Ship
ping Is Controlled by Five
Steamship Companies
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.l


Washington, Jan. 1.-THE merchant
marine committee of the house began
today hearings to probe the alleged ex-
istence Of shipping trust. A large
number Of ship owners and agents are
here prepared to testify at the investi-
cation, which will probably continue
for about a month.
A special effort will be made by the
investigators to discover to what ex-
tent the transcontinental railroads con-
troll oversee freight and passenger
carriers, and to what extent foreign
governments own or subsidize vessels.
The workings Of the Brazilian ship
ping pool which controls all exports
from ports of that country, were taken
up first Sidney Storey, Of NeW Or
leans, president Of the Panama-Ameri-
can Steamship company, testified that
the Brazilian government had encour-
aged the formation Of his company. He
said that the shipping pool had been
boycotted and forced out Of business.
Americans Shut Out.
Storey asserted that the shipping fa-
cilities of South America were abso-
lutely controlled by five foreign steam
ship lines, to the exclusion OF Ameri-
can commerce, or the establishment OF
independent lines. The lines embraced
in this combination, he said, were the
South American, the North German
Lloyd, the Royal Mail Packet the
Hamburg-American and the Prnz
Steamship Companies
Wants u Subsidy.
Storey charged that the combination
not only controls the shipping inter-
/ ests Of South America, but also dom
mates the press and the cable service
against the United States, delays the
mails, throttles American commerce
with South America by combining ex-
ports from that country to the United
States to New York, and by charging
prohibltlve freight rates. lie further
stated that the Argentine Republic and
Brazil both desire the establishment
OF an American-owned fast mail, pas
isenger and freight steamship line, but
that 1t will be impossible to compete
with the foreign combination, unless
the United States government agrees
to protect or subsidize such a service.

upon the glorious ocean which they
had so long sought to behold. They
rushed up, and when they were all
gathered together on top of the noun

offered devout thanks to the
Almighty.
This was on September %. 1913, when
yasco Nunez Balboa was SO years

heavily in debt at Hispaniola, he es-
capped his creditors and Joined an ex-

to the colony of San Sebastian in

and met hostile natives. Then they
learned of the destruction of the
colony OF San Sebastian, and decided
to found one of their own. which they
called Santa Maria de la Antigua de

with Enciseo, and he set out to ex-

naming of Simmons. Of North Caro-
lima. as chairman of the finance COM
mittee. which will have charge of the
tariff bill. became apparent before the
debate was more than a few hours
old. The North Carolina man was
engaged in a vehement denunciation
of the protective tariff doctrine. when
Penrose. of Pennsylvania. interrupted
to remind him that in 1909 Simmons
had made four-day speech in de-
Tense of a protective tariff on lun1-
Der. for which he had later voted.
The sally was greeted with a per-
feet roar of laughter from senators
and galleries alike, which went UNI
rebuked while the finance committee
chairman turned red and white by
turns before he finally rallied and
made a lame explanation of his
change of attitude.
La Follette's Surprise.
A surprise of the first day of de-
bate was caused by La Toilette. PEN
rose, filibustering to force public
hearings on the tariff bill, was among
those who in 1909, while the Payne
Aldrich bill was in course of making.
voted constantly against LaFollette's
plea for information and tariff COM
mission. Yesterday the Wisconsin
senator proposed an amendment to
|; Penrose,s resolution for public hear
ings, asking that each witness before
the committee be required. under
oath, to testify to certain collated
facts concerning his industry, among
other details being asked as to tho
cost of labor production per unit in
the domestic industry and in the
same industries in competing coun-
tries. This is practically the purpose
of the Investigations proposed by
Secretary Redfelds bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce.
There was general surprise when
, Penrose agreed to accept the LaRol-
lette amendment. and Smoot and
Lodge also agreed to it. Not a few
Democratic senators favor hearings
of this kind. and the LaFollette prop
osition may change the situation so
far as tariff hearings are concerned.
In its essentials the beginning of
the Senate fight features of farce
comedy.
| In the making of the Payne Aidrieh
bill interested manufacturers were
Igiven private hearings before the Re-
publican members of the finance COM
inittee. No record was made of the
Testimony at these hearings. Official
documents in the possession of the
finance committee at the time were
kept from the Senate. Among other
documents. report of the German
Chamber of Commerce as to cost Of
production figures in tho German
steel industry. furnished By the State
department, was secreted by the
| finance committee at the time, and
not even translated until after the
| bill had passed.
Comedy Elements
The comedy of the situation lies in
| the repetition now going on in the
Senate of the scenes and charges
made in 1909. the only difference being
that now the charges are coming
from the Republican side of the
chamber. while the Democrats. in
| self-defense, are contenting them
selves with the statement that they
are doing only what the Aldrich COM,
mittee did in the former tariff re-
] vision.

TARIFF DEBATE FACTOR
Star Bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,
WARRINGTON Nav IA

WASHINGTON, May II.
At the opening of the tariff debate
| in the Senate, probably the most
novel and sensational feature of the
situation is the attitude of the group
of Republican and Progressive SEN
ators who voted against the Payne
Aldrich bill. Disavowing RESPONSE
bility for Republican tariff policies
of recent years. repudiating the high
tariff doctrines of the stand-pat wing
of Republicanism and with q record
of having fought for several years
for honest tariff revision. these sem
ators occupy a distinctive position
that makes them a factor to be reck-
oned with, even by the triumphant
Democratic majority.
In this group of men who voted
against the Payne-Aldrich bill. and
who will demand that they be allowed
consideration and a part in the MAX
ing of the new revision, regardless of
party lines, are La Toilette of Wis
consin, Clapp, of Minnesota, Cum
mings of Iowa, Crawford of South
Dakota, Poindexter of Washington,
Bristow of Kansas, Norris of Nebras-
ka, and Nelson of Minnesota.
senator Bristow,s Demand.
Serving notice that he could not
support the Underwood bill as it now
stands. but is as anxious for real
tariff reform as any Democrat, Sen
ator Bristow yesterday analysed the
pending measure, scoring it for its
Inconsistencies, and urged the Sem
ate majority to permit him and his
colleagues who had voted against the
dishonest Payne Aldrich bill to have
a part in the making and passage of
an honest measure that would pro-
teet consumers without destroying
protected industries.
Between the standpatters and the
free traders declared Bristow, sit
seems impossible to get the kind of
results the country wants. The tariff
you propose is not protective. be-
cause it breaks down many protected
industries; it is not revenue tariff.
because it does not aim merely to
produce revenues and will produce a
deficit; it is not free trade. because
| it places a high duty on many arti-
eles.
You propose. for instance, that we
shall have free wool, and yet you
| leave a high duty on the hair of the
Angora goat. You put protective
duty on wheat and cattle, and place
meat and flour on the free list. which
is the opposite of your policy with re-
CARDS to wool. You have taken the
duty off many articles of steel manu-
facture. but left prohibitive tariff
on ferromanganese which is essential
/ in steel manufacture. and is abso-
lutely controlled by the steel trust,
giving that combination an even more
| powerful grip than it has had. You
have reduced the duty on cotton arti-
cles made in New England and pro-
tected those made in the South
The pronunciamento of the Kansas
insurgent and progressive marked the
most sensational moment of the first
days Senate debate on the tariff, AMI
attracted much serious attention,
even among Democratic senators.
