FOR u. S. CONTROL
OF TRADE FLEET
Commerce Chamber Asks Fed
eral Financial Aid for
Ship Owners.

The Chamber OF Commerce approved
yesterday a report OF special commit
tee. recommending the creation of an
American merchant marine IN foreign

with financial assistance from the ma
tional governments. A Federal Ship

il was decided.
II was suggested in the report that
the difference in the cost of operation
of American built vessels, as compared
with the steamers of foreign make, be
made up by the government. In that
manner, IL was believed, American
made ships would be placed on an
equality with European vessels when
manned and maintained in accordance
with foreign standards.
The plan constitutes form of sub
sidy, yet it differs from the European
subsidy plans in that the entire amount
Of payments made by the government

can standards OF labor
Yesterdays accepted report was
placed before the Chamber of Com
MERGE after a previous document, in
which the Alexander bill for govern
ment ownership and operation Of
steamships was condemned, was re-
jected.
The features of the revised findings
OF the committee, of which Irving T.
Bush is chairman. which were adopted
by vote of 300 to 4. are recommends
tons to eQualize the cost Of construct
ing vessels in American shipyards for a
period of ten years and the cost Of
operating American vessels in the for
eign trade for thirty years.
After pointing out the objections TO
the Alexander bill, which is now pend
ing in Congress, the committee stated
that the proposed plan. instead Of
paralyzng private enterprise, would
encourage private enterprise. with the
government and would make every dol
lar Of government aid 90 more than
twice as far as if used for direct
ownership and operation by the gov
crnment itself.

ordered him to write and indorse a

CITY {. s. BOARD
WILL Be 0USTED
State Commission Makes
ChargeS-Whitman to
Act if MaVOr Doesn't.
IRON a stan Correspondent OF The Tribune. J

Albany. Jan. 2S--The retiring State
Civil Service Commission, which goes
out Of office next Monday, has recon-
mended to Governor Whitman the sum-
mary removal Of the three members
Of the New York City Municipal Civil
Service Commission. That they will
be removed is foregone conclusion.
The State Commission filed charges
with the Governor this afternoon, ac-
cusing Dr.. Henry sioskowitz and the
other members of the city commission
Of gross violations OF the civil service
law in creating five hundred exempt
Jobs for their friends and for the
friends Of their political hackers.
Governor Whitman, il is understood,
will not act in accordance with the
state commissions recommendation. for
he believes it would be a violation OF
the principles of home rule. He thinks
Mayor Mitchell should be given an OPP
portunity 10 act on the charges first.
and he will send copy of them, 1t is
understood, so that the Mayor may
know the merits of the case.
Under the law the Mayor may remove
tie commissioners and appoint their
successors. II he does not, and the
Governor rcpoves them-which il IS
known he will do should the Mayor fail
to act-this would give the Governor
che right to appoint their successors.
Should the Mayor fail to act Gov
ernor Whitman will send the report on
the investigation to the state commits
sion whom he has just appointed. and
who will take Office on February 1. They
are Samuel II. Ordway, chairman; vii.
lsrl d. McKinstry. OF Watertown, and
William Gorham Rice, OF Albany The
Governor considers the charges against
the city board substantiated, and the
new state commission will be guided by
his views should the case come before
Il. The report dealt more harshly with
DR.. Moskowitz than with bis associates.
