Bard Amendment Cited.

Senator Walsh referred to the rejection
of the Bard amendment by the Senate
This amendment specifically provided for
the exemption OF American coastwise YES
sells from the payment of tolls. He said.
with much confidence it is asserted
that the action of the Senate on the Bard
amendment to the tirst Hay-Pauncefote
treaty forbids the idea that we reserved
The right under the second to exempt our
cOastwise vessels.
When the existing treaty was before
the Senate for ratification Senator Cuiber-
son proposed the following amendment:
1t is agreed, however, that none of
the Immediately foregoing conditio:,s and
stpulatious III sections Nos. l, =, 3, and
> OF this article shall apply to measures
which the United States may iind it nee
essary to take for securing by its own
forces the defense OF the United States
and the maintenance of public order
1T was rejected by a vote of Is to G.
BY the course of reasoning the supporters
OF the pending measure pursue with ref
ereuCe to the Bard amendment We reach
the conclusion that the true meaning Of
the refusal of the Senate to Sdopt that
offered by Senator Culberson is that "
abandoned and renounced all right to
take any measures in conflict with rules
l. ., ). or of the treaty necessary to
secure by our own forces the defense of
the United States and the maintenance of
public order"
Discussing the excuse given by some
OF the democratic senators for favoring
the repeal bill. TO the effect that the ex-
eTnption is a subsidy. Senator Walsh SAID:
Record as to Subsidy.
Whether in reason there is any just
distinction between a straightout sub
sidy-the gift Of money outright to ship

vessels out of the Treasury from the

distinction in our legislation and in our
policy He flouts the testimony of his
tory who says that the record OF the
democratic party is against subsidies of
the kind first mentioned. if they be so de-
nominated properly. Its record of opposi-
ton to the other form of aid to shipping
is consistent and determined. 1t was
against such largesses that the plank OF
the platform which refers to subsidies
was leveled.
"The platform is to be read as though it
were written:
I'VE believe in fostering by constitu-
tional regulation of commerce the growth
of a merchant marine : but with
out imposing additional burdens upon the
people and without bounties or subsidies
from the public Treasury.
But

and comprehensive plan for the develop

terways with economy and efficiency. so
as to permit their navigation by vessels
Of standard draft
And
I'VE favor the exemption from toll Of
American ships engaged in coastwise
trade passing through the canal
There is.here no contradiction. II the
word subsidies used in the plank first
above quoted Is broad enough to include
aids to shipping, referred to in the two
others, it is to be regarded as narrowed
in its significance as there employed SO
as not to embrace them"

It is the purpose of City Postmaster

upon the enactment of pension re-
tirement law, al of the employees who
have resigned under the new policy of
the postmaster to replace superan-
nuated employees with younger men so
that they may participate in the pro-
visions of such retirement, according
to an interview given out by the post
master today. The changes have re-
suited in the resignation of fourteen.

twenty-five. Decision also was reached
to recommend at once the promotion Of
ten employees of the main post office
and stations. Tie names of any of
those involved in the changes are not
announced
Two of those who have resigned"
said Postmaster Praeger, left the
service at the close of business yester-
day OF the rest, propapIy all will re-
main until the end of the present fiscal
year. All who have resigned are
either in the post office or in the de-
partments. if need is found for their
services. 1t is my purpose, in the
event that a retirement bill is passed,
who have records of long and faithful
service. SO that they may be eligible to
share in retirement plan should Com
gress pass such legislation.
Capacity for Work Limited.
In few Instances, the separations
from the service growing out of this
reorganization have been due to sheer
inefftciency. but in majority of the
cases the separations were made because
the clerks. by reason OF their limited
capacity for post office work. had be-
come unnecessary. Their places will be
abolished, and no appointments will be
made to fill the vacancies thus caused

morals. the average age for fourteen Of
them was seventy three years, and for
thlrteen the average was seventy-four
