Ship Men Sure
Immigrant Act
Will Be Passed
Congress Has Not Dropped
Plans to Assure American
Vessels of so Per Cent of
European Alien Traffic
Forestall Foreign Laws
Officials of U. S. Lines
Point to Monopolistic
Plans by Competitors

Information from Washington that
the House and Senate committees will
drop the provision in the subsidy bill
requiring so per cen, Of immigrants to
come in American ships does not mean
chat this plan is dead, according to New
York shipping men. 1t was said yes
terday that tho House immigration
Committee is expected TO report favor
ably upon similar bill, which will be
brought up as 3 separate measure or
attached to the subsidy bill as an
amendment.
Reports that the immigration section
vas in danger resulted in the hasty
dispatch OF letter to the Shipping
Board by tho United States Lines de
olaring that it would be impossible 20
establish line Of fast passenger yes
sells across the Atlantic without some
legislation Of this nature to Offset
monopolistic plans Of foreign nations
and snip lines. This was signed by
T. H Rossbottom. general manager of
the United States Lines, and by Moore
& Mccormack and the Roosevelt Steam
ship Company, operating managers
The board was asked 10 bring the mat
Ter 10 the attention of the Congress
siona committees.
y
'ha. unless this provision was enacted
there was likely TO be revival of the
pre-war pool OF foreign ship lines,
when a few companies allotted between
hemselves all of the transatlantic
steeragc business. Attention was di
rected also to the recent action Of the
Italian government requiring all Of its
emigrants to travel on Italian ships,
and also to the treaty between Italy
and Polan. providing for the travel Of
Polish em grants on Italian vessels.
In this connection it was said that
Italy recently protested TO the State
Department in Washington against the
proposed bin to require one-half of its
nationals to use American ships.
The House immigration Committee
now has under consideration bill in
troduced by Representative Cable
which would require at least 80 per
cent Of immigrants to use American
vessels.

been in the hands of the Knights Of
Columbus for two weeks. The servise

WOMEN FAVOR BETTER ROADS
Townsend Bill Endorsed by General
Federation OF Women's Clubs
at Salt Lake Meeting.

Evidence Of the widespread inter-
est In good highways was shown at
the recent meeting Of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs at Salt
Lake City. In endorsing the Town
send bill for national highways, now
before congress, Mrs. John Dickinson
Sherman Of Chicago, chairman of the
department of applied education, said !:
ut is not necessary for us to point
out the real Interest OF American
women in highway matters. The in
duence Of real highways on country
life, on economics, On education, Is now
generally understood. What is needed
Is national highway policy which will
conserve government funds, and,
through concentration OF federal
money on main highways, will give
US a connected system at the earliest
moment and the least expense"

GOOD
HIGHWAYS
PROTECT ROADS FROM RAINS
Where Flood Spreads Out over VAL
ley, II Is Big Problem to Secure
Proper Drainage.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricuiture)
During July and August, cloud
bursts. which are practically very
heavy thunderstorms, cause serious
problems In road construction in Ne
vada and Utah. The bureau Of public
roads of the United States Department
Of Agriculture has worked out several
effective methods of protecting roads
from these immense sudden flows OF
water after long dry spells. Where
the drainage channels are well de-
nned no great difficulty Is involved In
the design of the road drainage struc-
lures; but where the flood spreads out
over a delta or valley It is a prob
lem so to locate the line and drainage
structures that the latter will save
the road from destruction.
In sections where the food tends to
spread out. wide BERN on each side
OF the roadway makes a substantial
protection. The borrow nit provides
