Daring the first four weeks OF the

rangement It was officially estimated
that a saving for the shipping board,

government, OF $4,000 for food alone

Since the shipping board had no
offices OF its own to take charge OF
Its vessels in ports thruout the
world" continued Captain Garden.
ut was usually necessary to entrust
the care OF It's ships to established
agencies. Many OF these steamship
agents had already for years been the
representatives OF foreign and pos
sibly competing line. The result has
been that in many cases AM
crican vessels have been held back
while other ships were given the
preferences, causing the expenses OF
American ships to mount up thru
port charges and lost time.
In all River Plate ports, losses
from this source have been very
great as well as those thru over
charges FOR supplies, repairs and so
forth. There is one case on record
where an American ship was held up
for months for repairs and charges
totaling about 5000 900 were piled up
against her. But we are seeing to it
now That shipping board vessels get
into port and get away again with
out unnecessary delay. The saving
to the shipping board from this at
tention undoubtedly will be several
hundred thousand dollars annually.
Agents who have the interests of
other nationalities more at heart
than American are coming TO learn
that they are not entitled to more
than legitimate profit from AM
erican vessels and must handle them

SHIPPERS WIN SUIT.
Burden Placed on Carriers by Inter-
state Board. -

state Board. -
Chicago, Aug. 6.-The famous load
ing and unloading controversy at the
Chicago stock yards has been set
tied. In q decision handed down by
the interstate commerce commission
the expense of loading and unloading
live stock here was taken from the
backs Of shippers and placed square,
ly on the shoulders Of the carrier.
This decision reverses the decision
by the commission in 1919 that load
ing and unloading was the duty of
the shipper" and reaffirms the opin-
ion handed down early this year,
which declared that the carriers
must absorb this expense.
The present decision cinches that
decision, and in addition, makes that
measure retroactive in the matter of
reparat1on. Under yesterdays de-
cision claims estimated at 100000
must be paid to the shippers in the
country who have been sending live
stock to the Chicago yards during
the last three years.
The number Of cars on which
country shippers have been compell-
ed to pay the 25 cents unloading
charge are estimated at 100000. The
amount due to eastern shippers is
placed at $4,000.

Des Moines. Aug. 5.-The Iowa
railroad commission believes itself

expressed today at q hearing of re-
quests by the railroads that the in

the interstate tariffs.
The carriers were told by shippers
and the commission that there would
be no opposition to an increase Of
approximately So per cent of rates
on interstate freight shipments, and
the roads were urged to file their
new tariff schedules as soon as pos
sible
Chairman Dwight Lewis expressed
the position Of the board on the pas

SHOE PRICES HOLD STEADY.
Reductions TO Retailers Not Looked
For Until Sprirs.


BOSTON. Aug 5.-Despite some
harmless camouflage, which has re-
suited more In pleasing the perpetra-
tors than In anything else. orders for
shoes are not being booked in any
volume worthy of the term large.
When the national shoe and leather
exposition was drawing to close
week ago there were some represen- L
tatiyes of manufacturers who spoke
glibly Of large orders and the result
tant end of the tie-up in manufactur-
ins that is everywhere noticeable
thruout New England
On best authority It was learned
that there Is not going 10 be any
such large reduction In shoe prices
as the general public appears to ex-
pect and that. the reduction will not
be effective before next spring for
the retailer and then will not amount
to more than 5 a pair, possibly less.
If there is any reduction at all this
fall 1t will be hardly worth while
from the consumers viewpoint.
- Reasons for failure to make sub
stantial reductions are given as cost
Of materials, high and slow transpor-
tation and increased wages to all
workers in making and handling
shoes all along the line to the con-
sumer.
Lynn has some. factories still en-
tirely closed and othSrs curtaiiing out
put; Brockton is On about so per
cent basis for the present; Haver-
hill factories remain "all shot up.
At other New England shoe centers
there is general curtailment. Word
comes from the Endicott-J ohnson
plant in New York that cancellation
of orders has stopped and the factory
is running fairly full and some sales
men have started out.

Washington.~Aug. 5.--Five destroy
ers arc patrolling the entrance to
the Miami, Fla, harbor, under orders
from President Wilson. to prevent,
by force II necessary, the landing of
q cable the Western Union 1pelegraph
Company Is having laid from Barba-
dos, . British possesnion inathe West
Indies. i,
A British cable ship. the Colonial.
has been chartered by the Western
Union Company to land the Ameri- -s
can end OF the cable. which you'd
connect with q British cable line
from Barbados to South America.
At the state department it was said
that the British embassy had been
asked to inform the master Of the
ship that such a landing would be In
violation Of American law.
Officials explained there was no
Significance in the fact that the ves-
sci was British; that it probably was
the only cable craft available ito the
American company when 1t was
chartered. Work on the cable line
from Barbados was begun last sum-
mer.
Some time ago the Western Union
connpany applied to the state depart
ment for an executive permit to land
tlie wire at Miami, but officials said
action on 1t had been delayed pend
ing the holding OF the international
communications congress. called to
meet in Washington on Sept. Is.
A British cable company. 1t was
explained, now has q monopoly OF
cable rights In Brazilian waters. An
American concern desires to con-
struct q direct cable line from the
United States to Brazil.
It was stated that the American
government desired to know before
Issuing the permit to the Western
Union company whether the ar
rangement entered into by the COM
pany with the British concern. the
Western Gable Company, controlling
the line from Barbados Ito Brazil,
would add to this monopoly.
In this connection It was asserted
that at the Forthcoming international
communications congress the whole
theory Of international communfca-
tions was to be examined 'in a very
different temperament" from that
existing In the past.
There were reports today that after
the Western Union company filed its
application for a permit the state de-
partment requested that a copy Of the
contract with the British cable con-
Germ also be filed and that tho COM
pany had refused to comply. No In
formation as to this was obta.nnble
at the department.
& While there In a direct cable line
between the United States and the
Pacific coast Of South America, cable
communication between this country
and Brazil is possible now only "
way OF London, unless the messages
are sent to the west coast and relayed
over the land. A direct cable line to
Brazil, officials said. is much to be
preferred as 1t would afford a means
OF faster and probably cheaper COM
rnunication.
Some officials expressed doubt to-
day whether there was a law requir-
iug permits for the landing Of cables
In the United States. but when ques-
toned as to this, state department
officials declared emphatically that
there was such a law.
