uujustifed by the facts Of the case
s they affect the laboring man, ac-
cording to 7. V. O'ConnOr, vice chair
man Of the United States shipping
board, representing the Great Lakes
section.
The probability that passage Of such
bill would increase American ship
ping and tonnage thus furnishing
more work for shipyard labor. is the
base of O'Connors contention.
1T is puzzIing to me-" O'Connor
said in an interview, that represen-
tatives of organized labor in this coun-
try should hesitate one minute to sup
port the ship subsidy bill.
THE bill viii naturally increase
American tonnage, and as fast as this
is done, more work will be supplied to
shipyard workers in all departments,
to the metal trades workers, carpen-
tiers, boiIermakers, and others, and as
ships are completed and put into serv-
ice, It naturally follows that additional
men viii be required TO man tnem
and keep them in repair.
q cannot overlook its effect on the
welfare of American marine labor as
against foreign labor. Our labor, no
doubt, realizes that in making pos
sible an American merchant marine,
and increasing the demand for Amer
lean tonnage, we are furnishing great
er employment for American work
men. Not only that, but it will bring
about the employment Of Americans
where foreigners are now employed.
The plan is especially designed to
preserve TO American labor that
higher standard Of living which Gus
tom has established. realizing that
marine labor has remained so long IN
protected; Notwithstanding that other
American labor is so protected from
foreign competition.
Our ships, to be efficient, must be

You begin when your children are

youthful mind the idea of kindness

The child who has developed a real

will do it instinctively, while the child
