PRIVATE MERCHANT MARINE
NEGFSSSff4fa aAA4faFfS A4afS BIG OUTLAY
However Would Put End to
Loss Shipping Board Sus-
tains Yearly.
(sv The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON April 6.-Establish-
ment of a privately owned merchant
marine through government aid, as
proposed by President Harding and
the shipping board would necessitate
maximum treasury outlay of $52,-
600 900 annually, senate and house
committees considering the ship sub
sidy bill were told today by Chairman
Baker, of the board, Enactment Of the
end, he contended to the $4,000, 900
yearly loss the Shipping board is sus-
tanned in operating its vessels.
Suggesting that the chairman's es-
innate did not take into consideration
indirect aids" provided for in the bill,
Representative Davis, Democrat, Ten
nessee, asked what their money value
would tbe.
'Tt's useless to try to estimate" Mr..
Lasker replied, adding that funds for
indirect aids would not come from
the government Instead of increasing
the burden on the treasury, he held,
such aids would help increase the rev.
enue of shipping companies. which,
under the bill, would be required, when
their next return exceeded ten per cent
to turn half the excess earnings back
to the government until the full
amount of the subsidy was returned.
In computing 100000 as the prob
able government ewpendit'1ve F0~ "7i-
rect aid" Mr.. Laskar said he allowed,
for conversion into the mel Cn44i. ...et-
rine fund, $30,000,O00 to be derived
from customs receipts, $4,000,000 in
tonnage dues, $5,000,000 now paid for
TRANSFORMATION of certain classes Of for
eign marines, and $3,00O,000 in con-
struction charges.
Accounting for the remaining &c.,
was expected that deductions amount
ing to his figure would be made in
income taxes payable by shipping
companies. The bin provides for such
deductions.
The cost of maintaining the mer-
chant marine naval reserve, which
would be created by the bills would be
tiefrayed from the merchant marine
fund, the committees were informed,
and would not cause an additional
outlay from the treasury. Cost Of
maintaining the reserve, Mr.. Lasker
estimated, would not exceed $4,000, 900
annually.
While passage Of the bill would re-
ouire an expenditure Of $50, 900, 600 a
year at most, the added burden on
the treasury, the chairman said, would
approximate $47.000,000 as the gov
ernment now expends $5,000,0 900 of the
amount which would be turned into
the merchant marine fund for trans
portatton of foreign mails. Under the
bill, vessels of companies receiving
the government subsidy would be re-
uuired to carry United States mails,
except parcel post, free OF cost.
Mr.. Lasler said that the maximum
he quoted would be expended only
in the event the bill operates sue
cessfully" and, even then, probably
not before five years.

NEW YORK. April Predicting

,+s4 ....,ss the present strike is set
HE Phillip Murray, vice-presi-
sfrat Of tu,. United Mine Workers OF
America. tonight declared, congress
must oe blind not to see what the
country is up against"
Mr.. Murray's statement was made
shortly after John L. Lewis, president
of the mine workers international
union. assorted that the refusal of op-
orators. in the central competitive
field to confer with the workmen, at
the invitation Of the house labor COM
mittee, meant the strike would be-
come a fight to the finish"
In support of his prediction of a
famine, Mr.. Murray asserted that the
stock piles Of the country contain only
60O00.00O tons of bituminous coal, OF
which 2O,0OO,OO0 already are in thS
hands Of the consumer. At the pres
cnt rate of consumption of S,OO0,OO(
tons a week. the 400000 900 tons viii
suffice for only another five weeks
according to Mr.. Murray's figures.
Claims of the operators that the pro
duction OF non-union mines would pro-
long the nations supply TO eight
weeks were denied by the union lead
er Latest reports from non-union
strongholds, ne said indicate that rs
per cent of the non union miners would
have walked out with the strikers be-
fore tire week end, Fifty per cent
have already done so he said.
Il estimate that when the present
stocks are exhausted he said, the
non union mines will have piled up
sufficient fuel for one more week.
Then will come an actual shortage
which will cripple basic industries
throughout the country"
Mr.. Murray cited that the United
States Steel corporation and its sub
salaries in the Pittsburg district now
have only sufficient coal for seventy
two hours. A shutdown of the mills
due to lack of coal will throw 100000
mon out of work, he said.
Before the end of the week, he said,
$4,000 other men, in the railroad shop
crafts, will have been thrown idle
by the suspension of the coal hauling
trains through the anthracite regions
Of Pennsylvania.
