RIVAL SHIPPING LINES
CLASH BEFORE BOARD
Protest U. S. Competing With
Private Vessels.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 7.-Riva shipping
companies operating vessels between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts clashed to-
day before the Shipping Board over the
question of the ALLEGATION of Government
owned tonnage for service in competition
with privately owned vessels.
Harris ,Livermore. president of the
United American lines, operating com
pany for both the American Ship and
Commerce Company and the American
Hawaiian Line, controlled by the Harri-
man interests, protested against the
operation OF Government tonnage in
the intercoastal trade by the North At
lanfic and Western Steamship Company
on the ground that such a policy placed
a hardship on private owners by putting
them IN competition with their own Gov
crnment.
Charles f. Ware, Jr.. of Boston pres-
dent of the latter company, contended
that it would be against the policy of
the board TO withdraw ships from COM
pany which had been in business before
the entrance of private line into the
trade. The American Hawaiian line. he
said. had withdrawn it's vessels from
irtercoastal service at the beginning of
the war and had not resumed sailings
IN this trade until his company had been
In opera tion some months
Because OF the slump in ocean traffic,
Mr. Livermore said tho Hartman inter-
ests had sought TO make up Some OF
their losses by developing coastwise traf-
nc. although IT, too was below normal
However. he added, he did not think cut
ting rates would help matters

yesterday for a week in the Grand Cen

model tripped after the other on the

bridal costume that brought eHclama-

feminine spectators and admiration from
the men.
While pretty American girls in silk
trocks de luxe were dazzling spectators
on the main floor Chinese girls worked
on the mezzanine floor showing to visi-
tors who cared more for information
than color how silk is prepared. Co
coons were placed in watts of water
heated to 200 degrees. and then the silk
filament was reeled from the cocoon into
a raw silk thread. If the chrysalis ever

hurts, Il fact to which the House of Rep
rescntativcs bears evidence in the vote of
Isl to whereby il requested the Senate
TO take appropriate action" in relation to
certain remarks voiced recently BY Senator
Reed. which it believes reflects upon ore
or its members. Il certain Mr.. Nolstead
whose name is more or less familiar to the
public 1t is unique request, unprecedent-
ed IN fact, but despite the freedom with
which matter Objectionable to individual

let 1t be hoped that the Senate will nov
consent 10 the erasure of the words of the
member from Missouri They should be

Reed. In the past it has found numerous
reasons to criticize his utteranccs hut it
hastens 10 yield to him the credit due for
the bravery he is showing on the floor of
the senate in defending what remains TO

remarks concerning Mr.. Vostead. at which
the House has taken umbrage perhaps were
bit too personal. Certainly they were not
complimentary. but the country generally
Will be willing TO overlook the unparlia-
montary phase of his attack in the rrent
paste principle for which he raised his voice
The time has passed for weasel words and
nussyfooting in the defense OF the few per-
sonal rights that remain To us under tho
constitution, against the powerfully organ
iZcd attack that is being made upon them
Within the Congress. In dcn0uncing the at
tempt of certain elected representatives of
the people to destroy the American homo
as the citadel of personal liberty, throwing
II open to the right Of search without war
rant, Senator Reeds language was in no
wise too strong. These arc sorry times in

ne made more important than tho sanctitv
