Shipping in Hands of a Few,

Senator Fletcher declared that the system of fnterlocking directorates ex- isting today in the shipping world was probably without parallel in financial history. One by one, he took up the lists of directors of steamship compa- nieS engaged in American foreign and coastwise trade and told of the flnan- cfal connections of the individual dt- rectorS.
 T am warranted in saying" he con- cluded, that 90 per cent. of the coast wise and practically the entire foreign American shipping is in the hands of those allied with the National City bank, the United States Trust com pany, the National Bank of Commerce, the Guaranty Trust company, all hav- ing for their head the Rockefeller Morgan Perkins interests.
 To Help Independents.
 Tt is against these interests that the government is fighting for this meas ure. And the reason the entrance of the government into this business is opposed is because entrance will break the chains by which the independent lines are now kept out of the trade. The government entrance means a breakwater behind which the inde- pendents may take refuge.
 T have information that the same interests have investments in some of the big eastern newspapers, and this may account for the stalwart opposi- tion of some eastern newspapers to this bill. May we not assume that these same interests have dominated the chambers of commerce in New York. Boston and New Orleans in reaching conclusion in opposition to the. measure? ?'
 In reply to questions propounded by Senator Burton several days ago. Sen ator Fletcher stated that in his opinion the government should first buy ships international complications might re- suit.

light, add half cupful of sugar, half
cupful of softened butter, one tea
spoonful of salt, three eggs, one cup
full of cleaned currants and about
three cupfuls of flour. Knead until
elastic and set to rise. When doubled
in bulk, roll out into a sheet and cut
into rounds. Put the rounds in the
baking-pan and let them rise until
they are nearly as large again, then
bake about twenty-five minutes.
When they are done, brush them over
with little boiling water in which a
teaspoonful of cornstarch has been
dissolved, and then sprinkle thickly
with granulated sugar and return to
the oven to glaze. This can be re-
peated again if the glaze is not thick
enough. The buns must be thoroughly
baked before they are glazed.
