European Protests.

Senator Burton OF Ohio, who stub
bornly resisted the enactment of this
legislation. Is authority for the state
ment that European Governments nave
already protested against some features
of the legislation.

ton. is thrown open for treaty nego-
tiations and that. too, by demanding a
concession which is peculiarly obnoxious
to every one OF them and contrary to
the general custom and usage of ma
tons.
mo one can suppose for a moment
that such a demand can be made wltn-
out retaliation or at least a demand Tor
very substantial concessions in return.
An official of the Department of Com
merce in commenting on the bill to-day
expressed the opinion that 1t would nc
to the shipping interests of the United
States what the application OF the fun
crew laws is to American railroads.
The prediction was made that under Its
operation IL will he difficult 10 man

act.
Government officials frankly acknowl-
edged that the act revolutionizes shipping
conditions and that II will be difficult II

provisions into effect. They realize that

ment of this legislation has brought

j G Lincoln. representing the Mer-
chants Association, who has made a
study OF the New YORK railway ter
minal facilities. said that New York
was not able TO handle the vast
amount OF trade here because OF lack
OF facilities.
by reason ~ this inability to serve
directly the industries OF this city, &"
said Nj. Lincoln. the railroads have
forced "A congestion OF busines az the
piers unlike any IN other large cities
where team tracks and private tracks
enable tho merchants to take shipments
right off m. cars on the trucks. In
the inner zone ~ Chicago the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has seven stations. with

Eject on Treaties.

The act specifically directs the Presi-
dent to give notice within ninety lays
of the passage OF the law TO such Gov.
,rnments as are affected that The United
states will terminate all portions of
treaties which conflict with the proVi-
sions Of the seamen's act.
Nearly all of these treaties have a
year to run after notice OF ahrogatlon
: served, go thai 1t Will be fifteen months
be;or4 the provisions OF the seamen's
law which affect treaty rights will be-
come operative.
All other provisions az the new law
are to become effective within e!snt
months for American vessels ana Twelve
months for foreign vessels.
One feature 81 the bill alone viii AZ
feet rights that are outlined IN nearly
all the treaties which the United states
has with the maritime nations. The
belief here Is that any attempt by the
United states to alter any part OF these
treaties will lead to a revocation OF AL
of them by the Governments affected,
because they will insist upon getting
something In return for what the tnlteH
States Is taking away.
This will impose upon the stat" De-
partment within the next year the
enormous task OF negotiating new
treaties with the maritime nations OF
the world.
The feature which is found in prac-
tically all treaties Is the one whlcn
enables foreign ship owners 10 call upon
notice officials in ports OF the United
States to arrest deserters from foreign
ships. II IL acknowledged that this pro-
vision II not enforced to any consider

Norway's Vessels 10 Front.

Speaking OF the provision OF tho
new law. which requires that crews
shall receive on demand one-half OF their
wages due at every port where the ves-
sci loads or discharges cargo, the preSi-
mi OF one company pointed out that
Norwegian vessels would be practically
the only ones sure OF making port and
keeping their crews. He said that on
Norwegian ships men do not desert
with a voyage half finished, because II
they were 10 do so they would be
barred from becoming officers, and the
