agency of the Shipping Board, to take
control over all of the major export
and import ea-borne groups of COM
modltles, such as grain, coal, cotton n,
lumber. iron and steel articles, sugar

Thus" the report states. "the modus

our entire export and import trade
and transportation interests could func-

thereby establish those conditions
which would insure the popular sup

Let every Democratic man and woman

James D. Butler 1llth Field Artillery
10th Division, A. L. F.. living at 400
West 12Tth Street, member of Man
hattanville Post COZ, last night sent
The Tribune the following:
"On Tuesday, September 13, every ex-
service man whc ia an enrolled Demo
cratic voter in the Borough of Manhat-
tan will have an opportunity to cast a
vote for man and a principle. The
man is James j. Hines and he is max
Ing the fight for the Democratic nomi-
nation of President of the Borough
of Manhattan against the hand picked
candidate of Charles f. Murphy, "boss''
OF the Democratic party. Anti Murphy
ism is the issue Hines is making his
fight upon and it is IN issue that should
bring every ex-service man or woman
to the aid Of one of their greatest
friends.
He Aided Service Men
Despite his forty-two years, he en-
listed and served both in France and
Germany. Since his discharge from the
army he has without doubt accom-
plished more for the ex-service man
than any other man in New York City
Men with disability, insurance or other
claims have never asked his aid in vain
Men with rent troubles have been taken
care of without number. He has placed
in positions more than 700 ex-service
men, and this despite the antagonism
of the Gear of Fourteenth Street.
"Mr- Hines favors the bonus, not as
present or gift, but as an equitable
justice due the ex-service man, to help
put him on an even basis with the men
who stayed at home.
HE is not a promiser, but per-
former, and if ever a man deserved the
vote and the help of the ex-service man
he is that man. And certainly no for
mer service man can deny that the time
TO get behind the ex-service man in
politics is now"
