British shipping interests and those
OF America as represented by the fed
eral shipping board are entering q
war for cargoes that may have far
reaching results. 1t all started with
the efforts of some American ship OBJ.

would fight to the finish to hold on
ITO all of that business, whereupon the

As to the moral guilt of the accused
ball players, the American public has
had little or no doubt, and Its belief
will not be altered by the verdict Of
the jury which probably was made
necessary by the technlcalities Of the
