Will Have Aid of P. O. De.

Merchant Marine.
U. s. SHIPS TO CARRY MAIL
Provision in Law for Increasing
the Service-Steps to Be
Taken at Once.

One Of the large problems facing
the Shipping Board is the upbuilding
OF the United States merchant marine
through cooperation with the Post
Office Department in securing the
transmissal of foreign mail on Amer
lean ships.
1t Is expected that the members
of the Shipping Board will confer
shortly witA Postmaster General
Hays on this vitality important ques.
tion, in order that this means OF
helping out the American merchant
ships may be pushed to its fullest
extent
Last year the amount Of money
paid out by the Post Office Depart
ment to American ships for the carry
ing Of mail to foreign ports exceed
ed the sum paid foreign vessels for
the first time in postal history. Ap-
proximately 100000 was paid to
American ship owners and a some
what smaller amount to foreign
owners
Provision for Extension.
Under the recent merchant marine
act provision Is made for the work.
ing out by the Shipping Board and
the Post Office Department OF further
plans to boost this important phase
Of merchant marine work.
Owing to the fact that the United
States Shipping Board was not or
ganized no steps have been taken in
the matter. but now that the board
steps will be taken to go into the
whole question thoroughly.
At the present time it may be said
that the Post Office Department is
doing everything in it's power to put
letters on board American ships, even
-, ~f oil inry hon fn1-
erance of twenty-four to thirty-siX
hours.
In other words. If a foreign-owned
steamship can make the trip across
thirty-six hours faster than the Amer
lean merchant marine vessel. still the
contract goes to the American ship.
But the first duty of the Post Office
Department. next to the safe trans
missal of the mails, is their speedy
transmissal. If the foreign-owned
ship. therefore, can out sail the Amer
lean ship by more than thirty-six
expedient to allow the ship the con-
tract.
What L. 9. Ships Contend with.
Thus the American ships have had
much to contend with. One of the
British-owned vessels made the trip
across the Atlantic in a little more
than six days. When a vessel can
transport mail in such quick time
the Post Office Department has not
been able to allow an American ves-
sci, which could not make the trip
in four days additional. to handle the
mails.
The problems which the Shipping
Board and the Post Office Department
will have to work out in this regard
IRE many. but it is expected that much
can be done 10 help the American mer-
chant marine in respect to the carry
ing OF mails.
The formation of a policy in the mat
ter awaits the initial conference be-
tween the board and the department.
and probably conferences to follow. The
matter is such q broad one, and car
ries with it SO many matters that strike

sity for early mailing each day. The
depa rtment authorized the continue
ton of the service because il had JUS
titled itself, and this justification
came about because the business men
deposited large numbers of letters
in the boxes early each day.
1t is possible that the quick col
lection" service may be authorized in
other large cities of the country, fol-
lowing its authorization as a perma-
nent feature of postal service here.

BERLIN, July IA. - Organized labor today made reply to Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, who in a speech at the convention in Denver, Colo, U. S. A., charged that German workmen could have prevented the recent world war.
 German organized labor, in the statement says:
 "If German labor had not taken commission in the war, the Ger man workmen would have opened the way for the Russian army to march on Berlin and consequently peace worse than that of the Yer sailles treaty would have been the outcome. The Russian peace would have meant the enslav ement of all Europe.
 German workmen participated in the war only to prevent the com plete overthrow of Germany During the war, German organized labor vainly opposed the ruthless submar- inc warfare but only succeeded in stopping the Belgian deportations.

 We would be happy if the Am erican workmen would extend the hand of comradeship." 3o t,

of the national domain. Largely it's destines have been under the con trol of bureaus in Washington. It may surprise you to know that 38 bureaus have a hand in the govern ment of Alaska. This has created almost insuperable difficulties and has tended to kill the pioneer spirit and rob the Territory of that in dividual initiative which is essential to the growth of any country !, or comnupity. In saying this 1 am not casting reflections upon the many capable and conscientious officials who make up these bureaus. but simply stating fact. It has all re- suited in a chaotic. unbusinesslike state of affairs.
 Legislation to relieve this situa- ton will shortly be presented in Congress and I hope that it will meet with your favor and have your support. It's aim will be to co-or- dinate and centraiize the authority as to Alaska, as well as the responsi- bility. while at the same time safe guarding national interests. thus making development of the Territory possible.
