 On behalf Of its members. tho Dan- ish authors association has been az !tating for revision of the copyright net. It insinuates that publishers and theatrical managers republish and make use of the works of authors who died more than 50 years ago be- cause no royalties are involved. Thus the dead authors and playwrights are. they say, being Lred in unfair com petition against living authors and dramatists.

 Tho association demands that an or ganizaticn of living authors and dra- rnatists. and not the state, control the works of dead colleagues after the ex- riration of the 6o-year period that the rights should not then become free. and that 1t be empowered to decide to whom royalties be distributed.

Steel Trust Rival Now Be-

Washington. - Senator LaFollette
wants the senate to probe a proposed
merger of seven large independent
steel corporations which have an an
nual capacity of 100000 tons of
steel.
President Campbell of the Youngs-
town sheet and tube company is
quoted in the public press that "the
companies do not wish to do anything
Illegal" and that "such merger
would be for the benefit of the public,
and would tend to make cheaper steel" +"
The formation of second steel
trust recalls decision by the United
States supreme court on March 1,
1920, when it refused to dissolve the
present United States steel corpora

the astonishing claim that if the trust
was dissolved 1--WE do see risk
of injury to the public interest, includ-
ing a material disturbance of, and, it
may be a serious detriment to the for

Washington.-"Th primaries this

declarations by the A. F. of L. non

tee, which has directed "the attention
of the wage earners and sympathizers
to these two principles that should be
followed in the campaign:

compulsory labor law
mo justice loving citizen should
vote for candidate for any office
who will not pledge himself to oppose

GRAFT AND INCOMPETENCE
REAL CAUSE OF FAILURE OF THIS COUNTRY TO HAVE MEF
CHANT MARINE WORTHY OF NATION DECLARES STEAM
SHIP HEAD BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE
Proposed Ship Subsidy Bill Large
ers Money From Public Treasury Pockets of Favored
Few Steamship Men

had the free use of this fleet of ships
which has cost the American people
over $4,000, 900, ,000-T say over
$4,000,000 900, because to the amount
actually appropriated must be added
the interest which the government
must pay on this money-but the
shipping interests to which these
ships were turned over for operation
received in addition from the govern
ment hundreds of millions of dollars
in cash to cover alleged losses in the
operation of these ships notwithstand-
ing that during much of the period
during which they have had these
ships high freight rates prevailed and
large profits should easily have been
earned
mot only has this vast subsidy to
American shipping interests during
the last three and half years failed
to create permanent American mer-
chant marine, but it has fastened upon
American shipping curse of incom-
petence and graft which it will take
many years to eradicate.
"In the light of these indisputable
facts how dare any one say that a
permanent American merchant ma
rine can be created through subsidies
no matter how extensive these sub
sides may be?
81 say to you that the only thing
subsidies will do will be to transfer
from the public treasury to the pock
cts Of a few favored steamship men,
some of whom have appeared before
this committee, large sums of the tax
payers money, and, what is worse,
it will perpetuate the graft and in
competence which is now the real rea-
son for our failure to have a merchant
marine worthy Of this nation"
To sustain his claim that subsidies
are not necessary Mr. Manson named
16 large companies that are proftably
operating American ships in the for
eign trade in competition with for
eign ships.
"No subsidy policy will ever create
a permanent merchant marine" de-
clared the witness, who stated that
Britain created her merchant marine
''by efficient and honest operation,
and that was the way the German
merchant marine was built up before
the war "and will be built up again
very quickly"
Continuing his Indictment of the
shipping board Mr.. Manson said that
this board throughout its many admin
istrations, regardless of whether it
was under President Wilson or Presi-
dent Harding, has given ample evl-
dence that it functions in the interest
of certain favored steamship interests
without the slightest regard for the
best interests Of the people.
"The successful operation of many
American ships in the foreign trade
is conclusive proof of the fact that
the comparatively small increase in
wage costs is of no consequence if
the business is efficiently managed
and the graft and dishonesty that the
shipping boards system of operation
has fastened upon American shipping
is eliminated"
