SHIPPERS COMPLETE
 ARGUMENTS AGAINST
 PROPOSED INCREASE
By Associated Press

Washington, July 22.-Representa- tives of shippers in all parts of the United States completed their argu- ments today before the .sterstate commerce commission opposing pro- posed increases in freight rates to points on the Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri rivers and the gulf.
 c. D. Drayton, closed the argu- ment for the railroads, in a plea that rates to water points be increased in order to permit outhwestern lines to participate in the traffic to c>s valley, which, he declared, they could not do if rates were lowered under the rulings of the commission which prevent them from lowering rates to any point below the rates to intermediate points.
 The railroads cannot lower their rates to intermediate territory he said, and exist. The carriers, he de- clared, would meet the shippers to discuss adjustments of minor rate diff ferences, but not to discuss base rates.

New York, July 22.-Flve of the largest and finest steamships in the United States merchant marine, which had been chartered to the United States Mail Steamship com pany, were seized today by repre- sentatives of the United States ship ping board because of an alleged violation of contract.
 The seized vessels, all former Ger man liners, are the George Washing ton. America, susquehanna, President Grant and Agamepnon.
 Failure of the steamship company to pay rentals which in the sggre- gate up to the time of the seizures would amount to about s4oo,ooo was given as the principal reason for the boards action by Elmer schlesinger. it's general counsel
 The shipping board representatives were accompanied by United states Attorney William Haywood and Unit ed states Marshal Thomas D. Me- Carthy representative of tho shipping board and a deputy United States marshal were left on each ship.

 The vote on passage was 63 to 2. after sharp clashes between advo- cates and opponents. The former de- clared the legislation was a great Humanitarian step. denying that it contemplated interference in the home; the latter asserted that it was "socialistic, paternalistic and bolshe- vistic."

CONGRESS ID GET PLAN FOR FUNDING
 RAILROADS DEBTS
Understanding Reached Be- tween Roads and Adminis- tration to Facilitate a
 Speedy Settlement
By Associatedfres, A

Washington, July 22-Presider, Harding will submit to Congress next Tuesday the administration plan for funding the debts of the railroads to the government and meeting without additional appro priations the claims of the roads growing out of federal control.
 An understanding has been reaeht q between the roads and the adminis- tration, 1t was learned today, to fa- cllitate speedy settlement of the claims of the carriers without any new arrangement or modification of the war time contracts with the gov ernment. Authority to fund the debt of the roads, it was explained, 1t ia given the President by the trans visablc to acquaint Congress With the methods under consideration.
 Use of the war finance corpora ton al the agency affecting, through the railroad administration, the set clement of the governments financial relations has been suggested, as well
 
 thority from Congress would be re fquired to permit the corporation to take part in the contemplated trans- actions.
 After three weeks of negotiations the basis upon which the railroads claims will be quickly met it is sail, to have been reached through the roads acceding to the administration request to waive claims for "inefrl- cency of labor in work done on the lines by the government before re- turning them to private control In waiving such claims. however, it was declared the right of any of the roads to sue on them in the courts would not be effected in the event of fall ure of settlement.
 The administration position dur ing the negotia tons with the car riers was declared to have been that the roads ought to facilitate setue- ment without considering what ths government regarded as extravagant claims for efficiency of labor. only these claims. it was asserted were m dispute, and so far the railroad ad- ministration has refused, with the approval of the President to make any adjustment on that basis.
 On the other hand the administrt- ton felt, it was asserted. that the government had not been fair to the railroads and should give them what was rightfully theirs. At the same time 1t was desirable to facilitate settlement of the railroad problem which would enable the closing or the railroad administration, an expensive government agency
 Debts of the roads to the govern ment have been generally estimated at about $500, 900. while their claims have been put at various fig- ures. Director General of Railroads Davis. in recent estimate to Con gross, declared that while all the claims were not In, 1t was thought the total would be sl.25o 000,o 900. which if settled on the bases of about 40 per cent as heretofore, would dp- proximate $500. 900. 900.
