WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.-Nearly half a
billion dollars will be required TO COM
plete the great naval building pro-
gramme embarked upon in 1916, the
House Appropriations Committee es-
timated to-day in reporting the annual
naval appropriation bill for the fiscal
year 1922. The committee said that
while the total cost of completing the
programme was originally placed at
$544, roc. 900. increased cost of mate
rials and labor probably would in
crease the total cost to S972,931 900. OF
which $5SS,27O,O0 has been appro-
priated.
The bill reported to-day, which car
fies a total Of s395.504 ,444.2S, provides
$50, 100000 for continuing construction
hext year.
"This amount" the accompanying
report stated, will allow the work to
be prosecuted during the coming fiscal
year about as rapidly as it has been
possible to proceed thus far in the
current fiscal year."
The 1916 programme authorized 1o6
ships Many of these have been conf
pleted. but seventeen battleships and
battle cruisers and a number of auxili-
aries still are under construction.
The bill as il reached the House to-
day carried $37.175,129.77 less than the
amount appropriated a. year ago, and
s2S4,011.2S7.24 less than the amount re-
quested by the Navy Department
Besides the cut in the enlisted per-
sonnel of the navy from $4,000 to 100000
heretofore announced, the committee
also cut tho Marine Corps from 2.,40o to
10000 enlisted men. No reduction. how
ever. will he made in the number OF Of
ficers in either branch of service.
\ force OF 1000 men. the committee
said. would be sufficient to keep at
least 3S4 vessels in operation, or thirty
two more than were in the entire navy
in 1915
The total appropriation for aviation is
sssl3.4S1. reduction of s2s.OSe.56s from
estimates and sl3.oS60O0 less than was
appropriated for this year
An appropriation OF s550,000 for work
or yards and stations on the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts is recommended. while
x4.goi. i.OUO IS proposed Tor yards on tne
Pacific coast and in Hawaii. Among
tie provisions for expenditures on the
Pacific coast and in Hawaii are $325, 900
for Mare Island Navy Yard, st,405.00
for Puget Sound Navy Yard. s1.025, 900
for the naval station and s177,o00 for
an ammunition depot at Pearl Harbor,

LABOR AND THE LAW.
Leaders Would Have 1t Exempt From
So-Caled Conspiracy Laws.

So-Called Conspiracy Laws.
Matthew Vol, vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, has
announced that the organization will
have introduced in the next congress
a bin providing for the exemption of
labor unions from prosecution under
all combination and so-called
conspiracy laws, says the Mining Con-
gress Journal He explained that the
decision was prompted by the govern
ment's action against officials of the
United Mine Workers in 1919, and
made his announcement shortly after
the supreme court had delivered its
decision respecting labor unions and
the Clayton act The Chicago Tri-
bune vigorously opposes adoption of
such a law as Mr.. VOL announced
would be sought and stated its oppo-
sitiOn i'm vigorous language. We
read:
1.-THE unions want immunity from
prosecution for any combination or
conspiracy, either under the present
laws or future laws. They want the
power to shut off the fuel supply Of
the nation, to stop all transportation
to leave the cities to freeze and starve
They want the power to organize, to
combine. to bargain collectively with
employers for wages and working
conditions. They want the privilege
OF entering into contracts. and, most
important of all, the privilege of
breaking such contracts to the prob
able ruin of the employer involved,
without any penalty whatsoever.
"Such arc the ends to which the
proposed legislation would lead. 1t
would put organized Iabor above ex-
listing law. It would create a ruling
class in America. In such circum-
stances labor leaders could dictate to
the nation. We doubt that the nation
has sufficient faith in labor leaders
as yet to submit 10 such an arrange
ment.
Labor has power. It is right that
it should have. But if it extends
power it must accept responsibility.
That is fundamental The proposed
law tends in exactly the opposite di-
rection."

came more important. While most of
the boats used wood for fuel, getting

Operated Individually.
While as a general rule the boats
were operated Independently by their
owners, even as early as 1870 there
we're several lines operating many
large passenger vessels. The largest
ana best known was the Anchor line
which operated between New Orleans
and ST. Louis, making regular sched-
ules. While another line was operat-
ing between st. Louis and st. Paul
The City of New Orleans and City OF
Baton Rouge were the larger and the

line The largest side wheeler oper-
ated on the river was the Republic
In addition to the Anchor line there
were several smaller companies oper-

so passengers and large freight car
goes. They were mostly side wheel /
ers From St Louis one line operated |
as TAR north as Fort Benton, Mont.
Freight from up the river included
flour pork. beef furniture, hay. cot
ton rice and sugar. The largest car
go of cotton ever brought down was
landed by the Henry Frank and con-
sisted of 5000 bales. The cotton was
not compressed and the record has
stood.
