DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
U. S. SHIPS is CHARGED

Charges of discrimination against
two subsidiaries of the United States
Steel Corporation in refusing to use
American bottoms in their export
business have been made by Chair
man Benson of the United States
Shipping Board. The two concerns
are the United States Steel Products
Company and the Illinois Steel Cor
poration. The chairman has wired
the steel companies asking why they
VIII book no more export bust
ness via the Pacific coast with any
water carrier which cannot produce
through bills of lading. and asked il
II was the purpose OF the companies
to discriminate against American YES
sells. including Shipping Board ships,
in favor of foreign ships.
Under the terms of the tNnsporta-
through bills of lading for export
freight moving on American reg
istered vessels must name in such
bills Of lading the charges. both by
rail- and water. 1t was understood
today at the Shipping Board that op-
orators of Shipping Board vessels
have been led to believe that freight
brokers controlling large quantities
OF export freight contemplate follow
ing the example of the United States
Steel Corporation. On elimination of
American ships, the only ships avail
able are those OF Great Britain and
Japan.
Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the
United States Steel Corporation, to-
day telegraphed Chairman Benson Of
the Shipping Board that hereafter
there will be no ground for complaint
against the United States Steel Cor
poration on the charges specified by
Chairman Benson. Judge Gary's tele-
gram said: My attention has been
called to your telegram to our sub
salaries. the Steel Products Company
and the Illinois Steel Company, asking
IL they are discriminating against
American vessels in shipment from
oflcials have been laboring under a
Misrepresentation. Please be assured
we will not Intentionally antagonize
tho statutory regulation and there
will hereafter be no ground for COM
plaint."

Passing of the Grand
Army of the Republic

One Of the items of local news
carried with it a tinge of sadness,
observes the Omaha Bee. II re-
counts the fact that the three
Omaha posts Of the Grand Army of
the Republic are to be consolidated
because they no longer have numer-
ical strength for more than one.
This is simple notice that the great
organization Of men who wore the
blue and marched with Grant and
Sherman is passing on more rapidly
that We realize. They were boys i'll
IS, when the conflict closed. but
that was more than half century
ago, and the Youngest head that
was sheltered under a soldier 5 cap
then is now snow-white from age.
II was inevitable that this associa-
ton Of men who shared together the
hardships and privationS. the dang
erS and the trlumpS Of war. should
pass in its time. for It's members
are immortal only in the deeds they
wrought and the glory they
brought 10 America. Soon the
muf1ed drums sad roll" will have
beaten the last tatto for the Grand
Army: the last veteran will have
been laid away 10 await the buele
sounding reveille i'll eternity. the
last bronze button will be placed
alongside the tattered old battle
flags and the stained uniform. and
the Grand Army Of the Republic
will live only in the memory Of a
people who will more and more en-
JOY the fruitage Of It's history. For
