Grating on the West Coast

from me Ir1bune's Washington BuYedw
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.--The United
States Shipping Board believes it has
made real start toward charterinp
government vessels under the bare boat
plan IN the contracts made between the
BOARD and the Pacific Steamship Com
rany' operating the Admiralty lines on
the west coast, and the Haischaw
steamship Company, of New York
whlch operates feet in the Atlantic
coastwise trade.
Viee-Presldent Smull announced to-
day that the bare boat charter con
tracts with these two private operating
companies would net the board SO Genus
ton month on the four vessels

Pacific line will get two 9.O0O-ton stee,

carrying grain to the United Kingdom

NAMED was for the board to turn over
the four vessels. The board agrees in
the bare boat charter contract to carry
adequate insurance on these bottoms,

words, the board has rented to the two
companies four vessels at the fixed rat.

ually. He said that the contracts
were more in the nature of an experi-
ment. He said that it may be neces-
sary for the board to charter vessels
to private operators as low as 10 cents
ton month in order that fleets NAV
be kept IN trade routes to the Orient
and to South America, as required bv
the Jones act, but that it was the hope
OF the board that private operators
will find themselves able to pay a
good return to the government.
Along with the chartering of chese
vessels, the board is giving attention
to increasing cargoes for American
shipping. In conference to-day with
representatives of Western millers
Vlce-President Love, in charge of traf-
tc, went over the whole ground of i'm
proving transportation facilities for
the Southwest and the question Of pro-
viding greater clearance facilities at
ports for export -four.
The conference was in the nature of
round table discussion of the needs
Of the Southwestern millers and how
the board can cooperate in finding new
markets for their products and ways
and means Of getting their exports to
seaboard. In the delegation of millers
who conferred with Mr.. Love were =,

Omaha, Neb., and H. D. Yoder, Of To-
