The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-11-24
Ship Sold by Lasker for 81, 900 Burns
Estimated Damage $25, 900.

Developments following the partial
destruction of wooden ship sold by
the United States Shipping Board to
private corporation for about 81 900
have furnished striking comment on
the value of the vessels of the Gov
eminent feet which the Harding adj
ministration is trying to sell for about
ten per cent of its original cost.
1t is announced in a news dispatch
from Alexandria, Va, that the West
ern Marine & Salvage Company,
which has been buying ships from the
Shipping Board, is employing 100 men
in the work Of dismatling these YES
'sels and it is to engage about 200
more.
The hull Of the Atlanthus, the ship
which was damaged by fire on October
"a, is being pumped dry, after burning
to the waters edge, and her machin-
cry is to be salvaged. The dispatch to
the Washington Post, semi-official or
gan of the Harding administration
and advocate of the Presidents ship
bonus bill under which all the Gov
eminent fleet would be sold to private
interests, says:
at is believed that the machinery,
which constitutes the most valuable
part of the salvage, is practically I'M
injured by either the fire of the food
ing which followed"
When the ship burned, the Wash
ington Times published dispatch
from Alexandria giving the informa-
ton that according to the officials
of Alexandria, it is estimated that
the damage Ito the Atlanthus) was
$25, 00O."
1t is difficult to understand how a
ship that was sold for $1,000 coul
suffer damage of $4,000 unless the
price paid by the purchasers was very
much less than the true value. But
the fact remains that big corpora
ton finds advantage in hiring 100 men
to dismantale the Alanthus after the
hull has been ruined.

ment.
Any possibilities of good which the
merciless exposure in this case may
have are already exhausted. The
country will feel relieved that more
wrangling in the Senate, more perfer-
vid but tedious speeches, more melO-
dramatic roll calls are not to be forced
on it's attention. 1t is time the Sem
ate quit looking back on a primary
held in the summer of 1918 and began
to take note of the present and fu-
ture. The days that might have been
wasted on Newberryism can be ual-
lied to better advantage. Mr. New
berry yearns for retirement. Most
any man would yearn for it who mad

France of Maryland, Frelinghuysen of
New Jersey, Kellogg Of Minnesota,
Sutherland of West Virginia, and
Townsend of Michigan. Senator Nc
Cumber and Senator New are also
casualties chargeable TO the profteers'
bill.
In order to punish some of these
Senator's for their part in inficting
this outrageous tariff on the country,
the people of several states regarded
as invincibly Republican forgot their
traditions and their partisanship and
elected Democrats or others to sue
coed these Republican aids to Special
Privilege. Minnesota and Michigan,
West Virginia and North Dakota, are
some of these.

POtters Get High Protection, Then
Cut Wages

Workers in practically every Amer
lcan plant manufacturing sanitary
pottery, were recently ordered on
strike as protest against the reduc-
ton of 20 per cent made in their wag-
es by their employers, most of whom
are members Of an organization that
urged higher rates of duty on their
products in order to protect" the in
dustry.
Already about 5000 EMPLOYEES of
various pottery plants IN Trenton, N,
D., and adjacent towns have quit work
In response to the strike order from
the executives of the National Bro
therhood of Operative Potters. 1t is
expected that nearly all of the 10000
men in Trenton and its environs will
go on strike. The Brotherhood has
many thousands of members through
out the country.
The new Fordney- McCumber prof.
teers' tariff law raised the duties on
this class of pottery from 80 1-3 to go
per cent, and the prices now asked of
consumers have already begun to re-
fleet these increases. Now within a
few weeks after the manufacture of
sanitary pottery obtained the "protec-
ton" they demanded of the Republi-
can Congress they have cut the wages
of their employees and advanced the
prices of their wares.
1t is believed that many other bene
ficiaries of the exorbitant rates of
the Fordney-M cCumber act will re-
duce wages now that the elections
have been held.

High Price Records in Grain Made in Chicago Pit Most of Past Week

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-Almost every day
 this week. high price records for the
 season have been surpassed by wheat,
 corn and oats. Expectance of legislation
 at Washington to furnish financial aid in
 the marketing of farm products appeared
 to be the chief stimulus. Compared with
 a week ago, wheat this morning was up l3sc to 5hsc a bushel with corn showing
 a gain of Sis to S& SBc. and oats l Ac to 3%c. Net changes in provisions varied
 from 5c decline to rise of Tic.
 President Harding's message to Con former national wheat director. both deal Ing with proposed extensions of govern ment credit. were promptly followed by substantial upturn in the value of wheat. as well as by material increase of speculative interest. Crop damage pos- abilities associated with zero tempera- lures and scarcity of protection tended further to enhance prices, and bunish sentiment was given additional Impetus by unusual strength of sterling Profit Taking Sales
 Profit taking sales of great volume finally cooled somewhat the enthusiasm of the buying side of the wheat market. and the long continued advance of prices was l succeeded by a moderate reaction. in which German financial troubles had con siderable bearish influence. Unresponsive- ness of the Liverpool market to advances here counted also restraining factor. together with Canadian and Argentine competition and prospective shipments Of wheat from Omaha to Chicago for deliv- cry on December contracts Active buying give strength to prices of corn and oats. Provisions for the most part were high CT in line with grain. despite weakness ot the hog nlarekt.
