SUBSIDY BILL LIMITS
EACH SHIPS PROFIT
Lasker Explains Features Of
Measure to Shipping Men
at Luncheon.

Albert d. Lasker. chairman OF the
United States Shipping Board. explained
to local shipping men some OF the
puzzling features of the subsidy bill now
before the marine committees Of Con-
gress at 4 luncheon given yesterday at
the Whitehall Club by c. d. Mallory OF
the Mallory Transport Lines. Mr.. Lasler
had with him a 500 page volume which
mas not yet been made public and which
VIII comprise the regulations of the
board on the bill if 1t becomes law in
its present form.
Reading from the volume, Mr.. Lasker
made 1t clear that the much discussed
10 per cent. profit limitation clause APP
pies 10 the owners investment in each
individual ship rather than on his fleet
as whole. In determining the profit
operating income will be considered, less
operating expenses. including insurance
and depreciation, and less the proportion
of overhead charges applicable to the
ship. About twenty expense items were
listed as not entering into the charges
that could be placed against the ship
Income returns. Mr.. Lasker explained
will be subject TO the scrutiny of the
income tax department and cannot be
falsified more easily than current tax
statements.
In answer to a question why provision
had not been made for meeting the lower
capital charges OF foreign shipping Mr..
Lasker disclosed that the Shipping
Board has set minimum price of $50 a
ton for its best types Of cargo ships II
sold to Americans. This figure, he said.
is probably slightly under the world
market price, as offers as high as sS5
a ton have been received from foreign
interests. Therefore capital charges for
American shipowners will be approx
mateiy the same as those of their COM
petitors.
Several Shipping Board operators
asked Air. Lasker what consideration
had been given to the request made by
the United States Ship Operators Asso-
citation that the idle fleet be turned over
to the care of the agents. Mr.. Lasker
replied that investigation had shown
that the laid up fleet could be main
tanned more economically by the board
than by the individual agents. and that
therefore he had been unable to approve
the request
Regarding possible retaliation by for
eign countries against the aid to ship
ping contemplated in the bill Mr.. Laskcr
likened the future situation to an inter-
national poker game. He said:
Uncle Sam. backed by this law. will
have big stack of chips. and will be
ready to sit in the game with any of
them"
The guests included p. A. S. Frank
lin, head of the International Mercantile
Marine Company: George II. Baldwin,

Company; Charles II. Potter. president

which has been renting quarters in the
Grand Lodge Masonic Temple, at Sixth

take possession at once. The audi
torium is adapted in its present condi-
ton for Scottish Rite ceremonial usage.
Walter w. Griffith, commander in
chief of the Scottish Rite, said yester-
day that new marble front will be
installed later and that the New York
consistory. which has 35, 200 members
in the State and $500 members in the
city, will not be obliged To issue bonds
to pay for the structural changes. MI.
Griffith also said that the house will not
be rented for outside purposes unless 1t
may be for the presentation of symphony
concerts or educational lectures.
Last June the opera house was sold to
Mrs Charles Pope and Mrs. Rose Tos-
tevin. daughters of Mr.. Hammerstein by
his first wife. to satisfy n lien which
they had obtained on the property
against Mrs. Emma Swift Hammerstein.
the impresario's second wife. The
