ernor Wilson when comforting with
him at Trenton. 1t is true the Presi'
dent-elect would like to see the SEN
ate progressive, but he does not desire
to see it divided into two hostile
camps within his own party and all
the usefulness of the Democrats de-
stroyed.
Rule of Seniority Knocked
1t is now admitted that the rule of
seniority in awarding important conn.,
mittee places in the senate will be
knocked into a cooked nat when the
Democrats take control of the upper
branch of congress after March 4
next TO the plan of campaign which
has been pretty we'll defined, it is
claimed, twenty-eight Democratic
senators will give their support. This
is more than a majority of the
forty-nine Democrats who are expect
ed to have seats IN the next senate,
and will, therefore, enable the pro-
gressives to rule the Democratic
caucus.
If the Progressives put through
their plans in the Democratic caucus
those opposed must either accept or
in effect bolt the caucus. At the be-
ginning of Democratic control of con-
gress for the first time in almost a
score of years, it is not believed that
any number of Democratic senators
will go so far as to refuse to vote in
the senate to uphold program
adopted by the party caucus.
The program of the progressive
democrats 10 take away from the
veteran senators the power to which
they would be entitled under the long
established rule of seniority has been
we'll defined during recent confer
ences, and, the progressives claim, the
pledge of majority of the Democrats
in the next senate has been obtained
for it.
Upon three propositions it is under
stood that the progressives are in &C
cord. These are:

unless their discharge be permitted by

! No refinement of the language of the
resolution Of your Harbor, or the let
| ter of yout committee based thereon
can lead 20 any other conclusion.
after due discussion and delibera-
ton. the dire ct0rs of the company feel
that tho demand made by you cannot
be acc tded to, and will briefly state
their reasons therefor.
Company Gives Reasons.
"a: a corpora alton, the Inter-Island
Stea N Navigation Company owes du-
ty 20 both its stockholders and the
public. Exercising, as it does, powers
of quasi-public nature, the duties
Dwell to the public should be and are
paramount, and any rights to which
the stockholders might otherwise be
entitled should be set aside where
strict observance of them would con-
flict with the rights of the public.
Where, however, a given course of
aEtion not only satisfies responsibility
to both stockholders and the public,
hut is of srch a nature that failure to
follow it could rightfully be treated as
a violation cf duty to both, we feel
forced to adopt that course.
Waving any rights Of any nature
whatsoever which stockholders may
have. it. seems to us that we could not
carry out our obligations to the pub
lie by permitting your HarDor to in
sist upon it's den ands. The negligence
of master CT of a mate, resulting in
damage % person or property, is in
law attributable to the company.
'The same negligence, resulting in
poor public service, is by the public
attributable to the company. For in
jury, either to a particular individual
or to the public generally, the COM
pany, and the company alone is held
responsible. 1t must follow that when
the company valves its right to select
the agents by whom alone it's duty to
both individuals and the public can
be carried out, the public would have
righteous cause for complaint.
Feeling thus, we cannot yield 10
the demand made, and therefore re-
fuse to enter into any such agreement
as is proposed.
"On the part of the company, this is
not intended as a contest with the
principles of organized labor, with
which We are thoroughly acquainted,
and for which we have great respect.
1t is protest against a demand which
seems to us to be highly unreasonable.

Ocean TRADE J..
IN COMBINE

WASHINGTON, January S.--Testi-
mony about "a shipping combination
that controlled the commerce of the
seas with stronger grasp than any
combination which ever existed in the
trade between, the states" was pre-

pendent lines ont of the trade, of pool

w. H. pouglafis of the New York ex.
porting firm of Arkell & Douglass, de-
clared that combination of German
and British lines existed, controlling

managers in London were able to d.
rect the course of trade at their will.
Only One Independent Line. ..
Allerton D. Hitch, secretary and
treasurer of the Hagenmeyer Trading
company of New York, trading with
Brazil, declared that the only indie.
pendent line to South America was
the Lloyd Brazileirio line, and that

officers, governmental appointees,

that for. several years he was agent
for the Prince line at New York. He
