The speakers in clude Edward N. Hurley, vice chair- man of the Federal Trade Commission; Harry Tipper. president of the asso- citation. and \. c. Kingsbury. first vice president of the American Telegraph and Telephone company.
 MT. Kingsbury said that if advertis- ing is to be an investment it must be based on absolute honesty MT. Hurley spoke of the work of the commission. A great proportion of the nations business is stilr in the hands of the small business man, according to Mir Hurley.
 One of the purposes of the commis- sion, Mir.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1-The ere alton of a federal board with juris- diction over deep water traffic, sim liar to that exercised over railroads by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion and appropriation by congress of s5000O,00O for construction of merchant ships designed for use as naval auXiliaries. are proposed in a new shipping bill drafted after con- ferences between Secretaries McAdoo and Redfield and submitted today to Representative Alexander, chairman of the house merchant marine com mittee. From this draft will be de- vcloped the administration shipping measure to take the place of the one which failed of passage at the last session of congress.
 The bill contemplated a shipping board with powers limited to control of a vessel owning corporation, fifty one per cent of the capital stock of which the government was to hold. The new one provides for the idea of government ownership of stock only in the event private subscriptions are lacking. With the $50O0000O it is proposed that the government have built, in American Yards if possible vessels having aggregate gross ton mage of 100000 or 500,O00 to be
