Law to Protect
u. S. Ships Asked
By Robert Dollar
Nations Big Fleet Will
Melt Away as Before,
Maritime Expert Fears

Legislation to enable American ship
ping to compete on equal terms with
the mercantile fleets of Europe Is de-
manded in a statement issued yester~
day by Captain Robert Dollar, we'll
known maritime authority.
"When the reconstruction period is
over we will have feet as large as
that of Great Britain" he said. Gun
less the present oppressive laws are
changed we will soon melt away, as we
did in the epoch between 1910 and 1914.
"There is talk Of our government
chartering its ships to individuals and
not selling them. This will be fatal
mistake. The men in the past who
developed foreign trade were the
American and British ship owners.
Ship charterers, having no money in
vested, will operate the ships only as
long as they can make q profit
In advocating private OWNERSHIP. of
our mercantile marine Captain Dollar
stated: "The President said if Ameri-
can ship owners could not operate
ships the government would operate
them This is tantamount to tying our
hands securely behind our backs and
putting US in the prize ring against an
opponent with both hands free and
backed by his government. The an
swer to this is that American citizens
before the war were successfully op-
Grating 2,5O0000 tons of shipping un-
der foreign flags.
"Tnstead of government ownership,
the ships should be sold at prices to
meet competition on reasonable terms
of pavment to encourage the ownership
of ships by persons of moderate means.
owe are on the eve of the keenest
competition the world has ever seen.
We are in direct competition in the for
going to require this trade as never
before, it is the opinion Of bankers,
merchants and the people generally
that the Administration should not at
tempt to carry out such a destructive
and disastrous policy as government
ownership, which will DESTROY the initi-
ative of our merchants in the foreign
trade and the few ship oYners that are
left"
aptan Dollar produces figures
showing the decline of American YES
Japanese ships. In 1913 "before the
seaman's bill had gotten in its deadly
work" the percentage of American
ships operating in American trade on
the Pacific was 26.1O, and of Japanese
ships 26.O5. After May l, 1917, Ameri-
can bottoms had dropped to 1877 per
cent, as against 5000 per cent for Jap
anese vessels.
The wages of crews contributed to
this decline, Captain Dollar states.
For example, Of three steamships of ex-
act tonnage and indicated horse power
operated by him in 1914 under Amer
lean. British and Japanese registry, re-
spectively, the American steamship,
With crew of forty-sevcn men, re-
ouired s3,72o month to operate; the
british, with thirty-six men, s1,3oS,
and the Japanese, with thirtysix men,

ing held in victory week. The manage
ment cancelled the contract for Satur-
days meeting, which has been ar
ranged week ago. whereupon the
Electric Workers Union threatened to
cut off the lights from the hall during
the great victory ball on Wednesday
night.
The Underground Railway Workers
and taxicab men threatened to strike
the same night, so the management de-
cided to allow the contract for Satur-
day nights meeting to stand.
The meeting adopted resolutions de-
manding the immediate delease of all
political prisoners, and calling atten-
tion of President Wilson to the urgent
need of justice" in the case of Thomas
J. Mooney, the labor leader, at San
Francisco.
Another resolution adopted demanded
tn creation of democratic league of
peoples, based on the abolition of con-
scription, disarmament, self determine

International Labor
Legislation Is Urged
In French Chamber

PARIS. Nov. 29.-The Labor Commit
tee of the Chamber of Deputies to-day
adopted report submitted by Justin
Gobart, Under Secretary for the Mecl-
cal Services, on clauses relative to IN
ternational labor legislation to be in
serted in the peace treaty.
The first clause will promulgate the
reforms adopted by the Berne con-
ference in 1912, which contained pro-
hbitions against night work for young
industrial workers and a ten-hour day
for women and youths in factories.
The second clause will submit to an
international labor conference the fol-
lowing reforms: A minimum age of
fourteen years for the employment of
children, an eight-hour day for adults
in factories or mines, with har days
rest weekly, the organization of reci-
procal agreement for sick pay, old age
and disability pensions, unemployment
insurance and legislation concerning
accidents occurring during employ
ment.
1t also will provide for equality in
wages and working conditions for for
eign and home workers.
The third clause calls for the in
stitution of periodic international labor
conferences, at which non-signatories
may be admitted, comprising delegates
of workers and employers The object
of the conferences will be to promote
international labor legislation by sue
cessive conventions.
An arbitration committee or a court
viii be appointed to settle differences
arising between the signatories as to
the application of conventions.
The date of the first conference is
to be not more than six months after
the signing of the peace treaty. The
conference, in addition to an examina-
ton of the above questions, will pre-
scribe the organization Of a system of
labor inspection for each signatory, re-
ports of which can be compared at will
at a great international labor bureau,
the cost of maintaining which will be
betrayed by the signatories and which
will be given the task Of preparing sta
tistics and the carrying out of tech
ncal and social Investigations, the cen
tralization and comparison of prescrip
tions issued by virtue Of international
conventions concerning labor and the
making of national reports on their

and Howard M. Rinehart, chief pilot
of that company. To-day they came
to Washington in proportionately the
same time.
Breaking Of all nonstop airplane
fight records in the United States was
necessary in order that they arrive on
time.
The trip was made in standard De
Haviland-Foura army plane equipped with
a 12-cylinder, 400 horse power Liberty
motor, the same type which in the
last four months of the war was play
ing havoc with the Boche airmen.
From the time the big two scatter
arose from the experimental field south
of the plant in Dayton until it was
parked in one of the hangars at the
Mineola flying field, near New York
just four hours and ten minutes
elapsed. The distance from Dayton to
New York is $50 miles A trihe more
than 134 miles an hour was the aver
age for the trip.
w"en Mlneola Field was reached
there was enough oil and gasolene in
the big fighters tanks to have carried
New-York tribune., 1918-12-02

the machine back to Dayton. Mr.
Rinehart said it would be an easy
matter to make 1,O0O-mile nonstop
trip with this machine.
Mr. Kettering, who is the chief en-
gineer for the Dayton Wright Com
pany, upon his arrival in Washington
this afternoon said:
"The trip from Dayton to New York
and from there to Washington was
perfect. The big engine ran true
throughout the trip. At no time did
Mr.. Rnehart, who was drivno ex-
perience any difficulty in keeping the
plane at an even pace. At no time
did he race and at no time did he
poke along"
1t was just II o'clock when the ma.
chine arose in the air at Dayton. Al
II minutes past the big bronze colored
machine stopped few feet from one
of the hangers on the Mineola field anc
the aviators stepped out.
They kept their dinner engagement
and last night attended theatre pre-
formance.
At 2:O5 o'clock this afternoon the tive
f1iers, with bag and baggage aboard
started for Washington. They covered
the distance of 224 miles in hours ane
minutes.

American Capitalists Are As.
sured of Welcome for Com

MADRID, Nov. 90 CRY The Associat-
ed Press) Reports are in circulation
here that Americans intend to spend
large sums of money at Vigo to make
the port a modern one.
The newspapers, even those of Ger
manophile tendencies, comment favor
ably on the activity and spirit Of en-
terprise of the Americans. They say
that doubtless American capitalists
will receive a welcome in Spain and
give needed impetus to the progress
of commerce.
Several American missions recently
have visited Vigo and investigated the
requirements of the harbor.
The schooner William Cobb measured
424 tons gross and was owned in Calais

were picked up is several hundred
miles southeast Of Nova Scotia.
