Editorial Comment
An Appeal to Congress

(Marine Engineering & Shipping
Age)
Senators and Representatives you
are about to decide whether or not
America is to have n merchant ma
rine. The situation is this; with the
exception of the four freighters re-
Gently purchased by Captain Robert
Dollar, there is not privately owned
American vessel operating in the
transatlantic trade between America
and Asia. Captain Dollar with all
his experience is in doubt as to
whether he can successfully operate
his new ships but he is going to do
his best. If Captain Dollar does sue
coed i'll making go Of his American
ships under existing conditions, it
will be largely because he is a trader
as we'll as shipowner. He can send
his vessels out filled with lumber
from his own mills. When one of his
vessels lacks return cargo he pur-
chases copra or some other commodi-
" for his own account and, still fur
tner, he runs a feeder service for
1000 miles up the Yangtze River
Captain Dollar with his large re-
sources might be able to mix a few
American vessels with the ships that
he operates under foreign flags but
without some inducement from the
Government, the Pacific Ocean, which
is destined to become the center OF
the worlds commerce, will remain
bare of privately owned American
ships.
n 70 n 10 i
that with the exception Of the pas
senger and cargo ships operated by
the United American Lines and the
International Mercantile Marine
Company there are very few private
~ owned American vessels in the
transatlantic trade. Take away the
vessels owned by the Shipping Board,
the vessels owned by the companies
which carry their own products, such
as the Standard Oil, United States
Steel and United Fruit, and our n1er-
chant marine today is no farther
ahead than it was in 1914.
This is an appalling situation. The
Shipping Board is maintaining today
about 20 services covering every
trade route known to be Of any value
but 1t is doing It at tremendous cost
TO the Government. Without the di-
rest and indirect aids proposed by
the President, or some equivalent, the
Government will be compelled to op-
crate these routes or see them aband-
oned. The two years that have
elapsed since the passage of the
Jones Act have demonstrated that,
unless some reasonable degree of ma
tional aid is assured, private initia-
tive and private capital cannot be in
terested in these routes which are
necessary to protect our overseas
trade.
After all, it is the foreign trade in
which the country is primarily inter-
ested. American ships are but one of
the means for promoting this trade
but no one can gainsay that the far
mers, manufacturers and merchants
of this country will receive far more
loyal, regular and expeditions serv-
ice from American ships than they
will from the vessels of a country
which is our competitor in trade and
our possible enemy in war. Every
great maritime county in history has
spared neither effort nor expense to

HERRIN's HOLIDAY

Herrin. Illinois, takes holiday ana
celebrates it by visiting the morgue.
There, it is said, men, women anu
children eloated over the mutllateo
corpses slain by the striking miners
r,r daring to mine the coal when
the miners themselves refused TO
mine.
Herrin is entislod to the same treat
nent as used to be given a band OF
Sioux Indians when they went on the
varpath and massacred white people,
treatment more sever. If anything
as the provocatiol wasn't so great
and they had the advantage Of bet
ter information, and because many OF
those miners own property which
they expect to tc protected by the
very laws they haye deied.
Any expression of horror from
federated labor Certainly none ade-
Guate to the deman1 for it. Any ex-
preston of regret from the town
where this massacre occurred? None,
exultation, rather. They say, you
attend to your business and We'll at
tend to ours" They elected the local
law authorities and control them like
dogs on leash. In justice, Horrin,
Illinois, should be ostracized, sh t off
from all communication with the out
side world and let to soak in the
blood they have spilled until they
arrive at such consciousness as is
necessary in a civilized citizen, until
they learn that this affair is every
body's business. Otherwise their be-
nighted minds will conclude they
nave gotten away with it."
After a cabinet meeting Secretary
of Labor Davis declares those re-
speoeible for the outrage will be
prosecuted to the fullest extent of the
law. We hope he is a good prophet.

INDIANS SHOULD VOTE?

In these busy days Of June prima-
ries, when there is so much red
tape" about registration and nat
uralization, the question might we'll
be asked, why shouldn't the Indian
vote?
1900 Indians were among the
American Expeditionary Force of the
World War and not one of that
number was q deserter. The Sioux
Indians, especially, should be com
mended for their bravery in the war.
1t is stated that the Indians in Okla
homa even sent delegates to Wash
ington to offer their services. In that
state the Indians are very well-to-do
and quite cultured. Some are obtain
ing handsome income from oil.
! The United States has tried to
Americanize the Indian and with the
younger generation has succeeded.
! Probably the most famous of the
government schools was the one at
; Carlisle, Pa. During the war this
/ school was taken over by the govern
mcnt for military purposes. Car
isles football players were certainly
! Americanized.
! Most people think of Hampton In
! stitute, Va. as an industrial school
! for negroes, only, but it is an indus
| trial school for Indians, also. Courses
| are offered in domestic science, dairy
! ing, poultry raising, market garden
! ing and general agriculture, so that
| they Will acquire an interest in farm
! ing and make it pay. There are also
practical courses in dressmaking,
! tailoring, carpentry, bricklaying,
bIacksmithing, Gaming of chairs, pot
! terry making, home nursing, etc.
Contrary to the usual belief, the
! Indian race is slowly increasing. The
+, Indian Of today does not wish to so
back to the carly red mans ways, but
to take on the white mans ways.
The Society of American Indians, Or
ganized by Indians, is trying to gain
a just recognition for their race.
Many of the Indians themselves
think that the reservations should be
done away with, that they should be
taxed, and that they should vote like
white men. a very respectable num-
Der of Indians have attained high
honors in medicine and in other pro-
fessions and lines Of work.
During the late war the Indian
subscription to the Liberty bonds av-
eraged $40 a piece and one Greek In
dian wanted to give the Red Cross

DOMESTIC ENGINEERING

Since the advent of Mrs. Carlia
5. Wescott into the field of marine
engineering. much interest has been
aroused not only in Great Britain;
but IN other countries as to the future
progress of women in engineering.
Mary Gwynne Howell, IN a recent
lecture before the Womens Engi-
neering Society, ably discussed one
branch of domestic engineering labor
saving devices for the housckeeper.
The New York Times seems quite
impressed with her discourse.
The architect of a house is often
