Platform Plank Read.

In the senate Senator Owen read into
the record a plank OF the Baltimore
platform denouncing ship subsidy. This.
he said was Il flat contradiction OF the
plank favorinG exemption In the Pana ma
canal and was the expression OF Demo-
cratic doctrine for many years. He in
sisted that agents OF the coastwise
steamship companies had ''busied them

Senator Owen said he favored repeal
Of the naviga ton laws giving American
owned and manned ships coastwise
trade monopoly Under these laws, he
declared, the companies had so divided
the traffic among themselves that they
extorted improper rates from the ship
pers.
serted that railroad domination Of coast
wise shipping through arrangement With
the Pierson syndicate. controlling the
Teh,ls ntepec railroad, had created a con-

The exemption provision OF the canal act
was aimed az this monopoly, Senator
Sristow insisted.
