SHIP COMBINE CONTROLS
COAST TRADE, He SAYS
Has Agreements With Rail-
roads, Handicapping ~inde-
pendents, Bull Charges.

| Atlantic coast shipping trade is prac-
| tically controlled by a combine of the
Atlantic Gulf and West Indian Steam
| ship Company. New York and Porto
Rico Steamship Company, Clyde Line,
Mallory line and Eastern line and the In
sular line. according to A. H. Bull, presi-
dent of the A. II. Bull Steamship Com
pany who testified today before the House
shipping trust committee.
The combination Mr. Bull said. oper-
ated under agreements with the railroads
by which the railroads refused to pro rate
with any independent lines on less than
full cargoes. He added it was almost i'm
possible for an Independent company to
secure wharfage facilities. because the
railroads owned or controlled the ter
minals at most of the ports. including
Forced to Sell Out.
Mr.. Bull testified that after organizing
the New York and Porto Rcan Steam
ship Company a combination of circum-
stances forced him in 1900 to sell his in
terest and sign bond not to enter into
the Porto Rican trade for ten years. The
line then was taken into the Atlantic Gulf
and West Indian Steamship Company
In 1870: he formed the A. III. Bull Steam
ship Company. with a principal line be-
tween New York and Stockton Springs
Me.
Since the expiration of his bond the
witness said. his company had operated
ships between New York and Porto Rico
in competition with the combine, which,
he declared. cut rates. sometimes giving
discounts of 30 and 80 per cent when
ever a Bull steamer was scheduled to
sail for Porto Rico
Charters Hard to Get.
Various overtures had been made, Mr..
Bull continued, to bring the Bull line into
an agreement to maintain rates. He add
ed that he had been offered 50 600 in ex-
cess of the regular charter rate for his
vessels to keep out of the Porto Rican
trade
The witness said it was almos, impossi-
bic for an Independent concern to charter
vessels for the Porto Rican trade on ac-
count of agreements between ship owners
and the combine
Il think for the good of the public YOU
should take this to the Department of
Justice said Representative Humphrey
Herbert Barber, president of Barber 4
Co., New York steamship agents, told the
committee that line operated by his
company between New York and La Plata
had an understanding to maintain rates
with various other lines in the same
trade.

in behalf of the young bank clerk by his
counsel. A. s. Worthington. who also
presented to the court letters showing
the former good character Of the ac-
cused.
In suggesting probation, Mr.. Worthing-
ton told the court that HUMPHREYS had
promptly admitted his guilt and had gone
10 the district attorneys Office and made
clean breast of the matter. Mr.. Worth
ington said he hoped the court might see
its way clear to give young Humphries

rounding the case tended to show that
the bank clerk was led astray by others
older than himself" This matter had
been considered by the United States at

while there We're strong suspicious, the
prosecutor had decided there was not
enough to warrant prosecution against
the other person or persons who were
thought to know or suspect at least Of
the populations of the bank teller.
Justice Stafford asked to be advised

said that while they might not form
