Q.-Do you believe that the

Committee has shown favoritism
to any company to the detriment
Of other coal companies dealing
. with the South American trader
Al know that there have
been actions on the part Of the
Shipping Control Committee
which we were absolutely unable
to understand, and that in 50 far
as Berwind-White Coal Company
is concerned they seem to be
operating without the disad-
vantages that we are under.

able to secure from the bureau OF

So tremendous was the war
news in June, 1917. there was a
clause in the appropriation act
and approved by the President
on the 18th OF the month which
slipped by without public notice.

OF FOREIGN DISCRIMINA-
TION AGAINST VESSELS AND

500. 900 shall be available imme-

The appropriation act of Con-
gress in July. 1918. with America

other clause that was not noticed

IGNORED DEMANDS.
Mr.. Luckenbach states that all
vessels were under control of the
Shipping Board through its Brit
ish dominated shipping control
committee.
Mr.. Luckenbach's testimony Is
, in part as follows:
Il will give you an example
Of British control of American
shipping even before We entered
the war.
Il had planned to send n ship
from New York to Norfolk, Va,
/ was told that i would have TO
get the British consulate's o. X.

said the clerk would not stay
after o'clock. 1t costs money
to hold q ship at dock for twenty
four hours in order to accommo-
date an eight-hour British clerk
REBUkE FROM NAVY.
Now here was an American
ship, owned by an American con-
Germ, going from one American
port to another with an Ameri-
can cargo.
We let her sail without the
British o. X.
"A day or so later the Naval
Intelligence called me up and
said: So you let your ship sail
without the British o. X, did
you not?"
Luckenbach: Yes"
Naval 1ntelligence: do you
know where she is now?"
Luckenbach: Yes; she is in.
Norfolk"
Naval Intelligence: How do
you know that?"
Luckenbach: Got a wire from
her today
Naval intelligence: well. do
not do that again"
Luckenbach: What have 1
got to do with the British con-
sulate? I'll do as 1 please until
F.. receive written orders to the
contrary"
NEW FIRMS FORMED.
II informed the shipping
board that every American.
owned steamship company has
suffered loss of tonnage
through acquisitions at the
hands Of the shipping control
committee, while many new ship
operators, who have previously
never owned a rivet in ship.
have set up in business since
the war commenced, and have
succeeded in securing ALLEGATION
or assignment Of vast tonnage
from the ship control committee,
in most cases these new com.
panies being Britishers.

we were able to charter a bark for
Buenos Aires to take this cargo
OF coke. In September We again
applied for a license for 1000 tons
Of foundry coke for the Argentine
Republic. which We were desirous
Of shipping in our schooner the

the chartering committee for per-
mission to make this voyage, but
we were refused.
After considerable difficulty with
the shipping control committee.

finally decided to allow this boat
to make the voyage.
During all this time We were not
given a license nor permitted to
make any shipment of coal to
Buenos Aires.

Q.-Do you refer to foreign
competitors?
A.-When I say that, am
thinking Of the English competi-
tors.
Q.-Do you think an exclusive
monopoly Of that American trade
in South America was practically
given by the British ministry OF
shipping?
Al believe that there was an
understanding between some par
ties to hand over the Argentine
coal trade to England.
The only concrete information
that 1 have is that Mr.. Jennings
of the British ministry (assistant
director of the British ministry of
shipping) told us that IL a GUS
toner Of ours needed coal that
he should apply to the British
consul at Buenos Aires, who
would act upon his inquiry, and II
he. the British consul. thought
that this coal should be brought
out, he would then arrange with

In this city TO load a vessel: that
II we wanted TO we could supply
the coal. but that on arrival in
the Argentine Republic the British
consul still held the right TO turn
this coal over to our customer or
not, just as he saw fit at the
time.

HOUSE DECIDES TO
 REBUILD MEMORIAL
One Of First Monuments of Abraham Lincoln Will Be Again Erected
 in Washington.

Washington, April 2S.-Re- erection on it's original site in Washington of one of the first monuments dedicated to Abraham Lincoln, and which for two years or more has been buried away in a courthouse basement, is ordered in a bill passed by the house
 When a new courthouse was built several years ago the monument funds for which were raised by popu lar subscription shortly after Lincoln's assassination was ordered down by the fine arts commission on the theory that it was out of harmony with it's surroundings and that its pedestal was unsafe.
 The monument, which was the work of Lot t'lannery, who knew Lincoln well, consists of life size statue.
 Ever since it was taken down a fight led by the Grand Army of the Republic, the Loyal Legion and other organizations has been vaged for con gress to put 1t back. President Hard ing joined in, declaring there seemed to be so much appealing sentiment about the restoration that congress ought to help. The Legion con tended removal of the monument was a desecration and posts throughout the country had offered to take it and set it up if it was to remain forever under a cover of rags in a basement here where nobody could see it,
