Criticises London Convention.

That the proposed treaty, approved
by the London convention, would, if
adopted. prevent Congress from enact
ing just and humane provisions of the
seamen's bill now pending is the opin-
ion of Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor. He
says that instead of being a proposition
for safety of lives at sea it might bet
ter be termed surrender by the Unit
ed States of the right to legislate IN
the interests of the people of this coun-
try, giving away the freedom of the
seamen. and crlppling the government

FRANCE LIFTS ALL BAN
ON COTTON SHIPMENTS
Agrees Not to Molest Cargoes, Even
Though Bound to an Enemy
Country.

France in note to the State De-
partment through Ambassador Jusse-
rand today gave assurances that she
would not interfere in any manner
with American cotton shipments, either
to belligerent or neutral countries.
Announcement was made that France
will adopt the same attitude toward
cotton shipments as that of Great Brit
ain.
Secretary Bryan, in a statement today
on the cotton situation, said:
Need of American Ships,
The one practical obstacle to the
supplying of the demand is the scarcity
of American boats. The Holland
American line has refused to accept
shipments of cotton to Rotterdam, and
the tact that American boats are re-
quired undey the conditions imposed
ny Germany in the raising Of the en-
| pargo, to bring back dyestufrs, cyanide,
chemicals, ETC., makes the demand Tor
American bottoms greater than the
supply"
Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, in
forms the state Department that there
is practically an unlimited market for
cotton in Germany, SO that as many
as 100000 bales can pc disposed OF IN
the empire in 1915. From Vienna comes
a report that 100000 bales can find a
market in Austria-Hungary. MIR. Ger
ard says the price Of cotton in Ger
many ranges from - to is cents a
pound after allowing cents a pound
Tor insurance, freight and other
charges.
Lead Taken by England.
Great Britain, whose course now is
to be adopted by France, announced
as early as October 81 that cotton is
not and will not be considered as
contraband of war. Assurance then
was given that the British admiralty
would not Interfere with shipments.
Ever since this announcement came
from the British foreign Office the
like treatment for cotton shipments
from the French government.
Despite assurances that have been
given that cotton would not be consid-
cred as contraband of war, some of the
steamship lines still refuse to accept cot
ton cargoes. But twelve vessels flying
| the American flag and bearing in the
aggregate $4,000 bales of cotton now
are loading or en- route for Europe
! from New York, Charleston, Savanna h
| and New Orleans. Some of these YES
seiS are bound to Bremen and others
! to Swedish, Norwegian, Danish OF
Dutch ports, but the ultimate destina-
