The steamship company filed a long
complaint yesterday charging that the

tionai for each passenger carried was a
scheme TO drive American steamships
out OF the italian passenger carrying
trade and give italian vessels a monopoly
OH this business.
II now appears. however according
TO the explanation made to the State
Department. that this deposit regulation
applies only to steamships not licensed
to carry Italian emigrants and Is de-
signed for the sole purpose of compelling
vessels In this trade to take out licenses.

Government unless they conformed %
