FRIERSON RESERVES
DECISION ON BEER

Assistant Attorney General Frier-
son, prohibition enforcer. after a long
conference with Attorney General
Palmer today, said nothing definite
had been decided upon as to the
Governments course in preventing
brewers resuming the brewing Of pa
per cent alcohol beer.
FTiersOn had before him an invita-
tiOn TO become a party TO proceedings
brought by minority stockholders OF
the Everard Brewing Company,
against the company officials for an
injunction to prevent the company
complying with wartime prohibition
after July l and to also prevent dis
continuance OF 2ai per cent beer after
May ].
FriersOn said there had been no
response TO the invitation as yet.
Officials pointed out that the brew
ers' attacks are directed at the war
time prohibition regulations not at
the prohibition amendment, which
does not go into effect for nearly a
year.

GOVT. MUST OWN
SHIPS, SAYS SOLON

"If the Government must own and
operate these ships in order to enable
the country to have a great merchant
marine. then the Government must
do it,"
This was the assertion today OF
Senator Fletcher of Florida, for
years chairman of the Senate Com
merce Committee, with respect to the
nations shipping board.
Senator Fletcher is keenly interest
ed in the forthcoming announcement
Of the Shipping Board as to what
ought to be done regarding the mer-
chant marine. Chairman Hurley has
promised an announcement March 81.
Senator Fletcher said he did not
know what the Shipping Board would
advocate, but he was convinced mat
the country would not stand for the
plan which some of the shipping in
terests propose, to have the Govern
ment sell its ships TO them at less
than cost.
They want the Government to
write off the additional cost of en-
struction due to the fact the ships
were built in the war period. and
sell them the ships at what they call
standard cost" said Senator Fletcher.
II am opposed to that. / do not be-
Iieve the country would stand for it.
"If we lose this opportunity to
have and maintain a great merchant
marine we will never get 1t back
again.
Il am opposed TO subsidies and
against the repeal OF the seamen's
act. To write of the war cost Of
these ships in favor OF private pur-
sha ha n greatest
subsidies we could grant"
While Senator Fletcher said he
would be glad to see private enter
prise own and operate the shipping
il II could be done on satisfactory
conditions he made it plain he did not
believe it likely private enterprise
could meet the conditions.
He declared that not only was the
Government making money in run
ming ships now, but that he was con-
vinced it could go on for years OPP
Grating ships at a profit He point
ed out that the United States could
make ships now as cheaply as Eng
land and that it could turn them out
rapidly.
Moreover. English seamen are de-
manding the same pay as American
seamen," said the Senator.
I'VE have the greatest shipyard in
the world at Hog Island. L am in
favor of keeping it and keeping it in
operation"
He suggested that freight terminals
be established there and that il be
used as a point for the shipment of
freight.
AS to cost of construction in Amer
lea, he declared it was coming down
and would continue TO be lowered.
He characterized as 'aIl bOsh" the
idea OF it being necessary to repeal
the seamen's act and grant subsidies
in order to put this country on an even
plane with other countries.
The time is past when this coun-
try cannot compete with other nations

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS
SHOW BIG DECREASE

Railway accidents in the southwest
ern region were reduced Sc per cent
during the month of May, 1919, as com
pared with May of the previous year,
according to b. F. Bush, regional d.
rector, who asCribes the remarkable
record made largly to the campaign for
the reduction of accidents that has been
waged throughout the southwestern re-
gion during the year.
The ratio of employees killed to the
number in the railroad service has
been reduced from one to MIS-, to one
to 2i,J83 per month.
In IA statement Thursday, Mr.. Bush
says:
THE campaign to reduce accidents
to employees IN the southwestern region
during the month of May, 1919, was
a decided success. During May, 1919,
there was a total Of Gas accidents to
employees, as compared with l,47b during
the same month Of last year, a reduc-
tion Of So per cent.
During the threc-months' period,
January to March, 1919, inclusive, IN
average of one employe per month was
killed to every 9,7l5 In service, while
during the month Of May, the mum
Ter was reduced to one olnplnVe killed
to. every 24,9S3 in service. During the
same three-months' period, one employee
out Of every 1853 was injured, while
during the month of May, one employe
was injured to every 273 in service.
"OSficers and employees took a most
active interest in the campaign and
the outcome indicates what it Is pos
sible to accomplish by intensive efforts,
the exercise of ~precaution. and having

SLIME ON
WHARF REMAINS
Government Prepares to
Dredge
Unavailing.

The accumulation Of mud and debris
from the Mississippi river remains
practically undisturbed along the Mem
phls wharf. The stencil was allayed a
nttle by the rain Of Wednesday eve
nlng, but as the rays Of the sun got
IN their work Thursday, the putriG
aroma was waited across the leVee,
penetrating offices and business houses
from jefferson to Beale emu along
Front street andNthe river.
W. Z. Shea, city w~harfmaster, made
an appeal Thursday to Mai. ]. N.
hodges for the government to aid in
the effort to remove the silt which is
not only Gripping packets in their ef-
tort TO make landings but is constant
becoming more dangerous to the
health OF the city. The wharfmaster's
presence on the wharf Wednesday was
such a novelty that he attracted much
attention. He stated that he had forces
working night and day trying to wash
the accumulated slime back into the
river, The forces apparently consisted
OF not more than a half dozen clock
watching negroes who have succeeded
at TWO points in penetrating the de-
post a few feet only.
Maj, Hodges has repeatedly stated
that the government will do all possi-
bic to keep the canal clear for navi-
cation, The suction dredge boat Zeta
began the work of clearing the chan
mel Thursday morning and will prob
ably remain in the canal 80 days or
more if necessary.
1t is the city's duty to keep the
wharf clean, according to Mai, Hodges
statement to the wharfmaster. There
is no government fund available to send
graders to wash off the levee. The
engineers Of the Memphis district are
allotted definite sums by the Missis-
slppi river commission beyond which
they dare not go. Besides, pointed
out Maj. Hodges, it is not right that
the government should do other work
thar keep navigation clear,
The head pressure from the city water
mains is not more than 60 pounds,
totally Inadequate to wash the mud
away, the city wharfmaster complains,
on the other hand, declare the en-
g%ineers, II a couple of engines from
the city fire department, which could
easily be spared, with a corps Of fire
men, be sent to the river front, all the
pressure needed could be utilized to
wash the accumulation back into the
river as the water recedes.
II this work is not lone soon and
If the sur is allowed to bake the de-
post into hard crustlike formations,
the task, OF necessity, will be doubled.
according to the engineers and 1t is
the duty of the city, they maintain, to
Keep the levee clean, as much as IL
Is to keep the streets OF the city free
from contamination.
