Jr the I3-knot vessels, up to two nd one-tenth cents for vessels cap .ble of B knots. Thus the 23-knot essel would draw a subsidy of two nd six-tenths of a cent subsidy per ;ross ton for every 100 miles trav- eled.
 The fast ships draw the big money Ihe little fellows, slow Of speed, get little help, which means that big com panies, able to own fleets Of fast ships, get big help, while small com panies, able to own only small, slow ships, are left to lag and get out oi the business. The faster the ship moreover, the quicker the turn around" and the more the possibili- ies of profit.
 The Shipping Board may re- fuse, on mere whinn, to enter into
 contract with any ship owner and no ship owner can collect subsidy unless he has contract with the board.
 The board may make or refuse
 to make contracts on the basis of whether or not it likes an appli-
 cant's character, ability, expert
 ence, or financial ability.
 Once these contracts are made
 the government is bound by them
 for at least ten years and no
 future administration can put
 the Shipping Board out of busi-
 ness or even materially change
 it's policies.
 The proposed law would clinch the Shipping Boards position and give 1t comparatively permanent status as great autocratic arm of govern oh o1 of ernment.
 Board, On Whirn, May Raise or Cut
 Subsidy.
 Perhaps the most astounding fea- ture of the subsidy sections of the bill is that which gives the Shipping Board the power to double or re- duce the amount of subsidy.
 For reasons of its own the board may double the subsidy. If the board "in its judgment" thinks ii necessary, this acton may be taken Tn it's judgment" also the board may reduce to the vanishing point the subsidy to be paid to any par ticular ship or line, Judgment may easily be no more than whin o1

Watch Number On
 Your Automobile
If Its Been Tempered With You Are
 Liable Under New Law.

Hartford, March 24.-As part of the effort to combat the increasing trade in stolen and lost automobiles, and to pro- tect the Connecticut public as far as pos sible, the Motor Vehicle Department has incorporated in a booklet for distribu- ton among automobile dealers and re- pairers statement cautioning the lat ter to keep a sharp lookout for engine or serial numbers that have been tam pered with.
 The booklet points out that a law adopted by the last session of the legis- lature renders liable to immediate ar rest any person found to have in his possession any motor vehicle with rnu- tiated factory or engine number, regard less of whether the possessor bought 1t in good faith. No such person can be discharged from custody until he has proved to the satisfaction of the proper court the ownership of the motor vehicle i'll question and his right to 1t.
 Dealers and repairers are cautioned to acquaint themselves with the law re- garding engine or serial number" says the departments booklet. Dealers and repairers should be particular to see that every motor vehicle in their pos session has an engine or serial number, which has not been tempered with. If any doubt exists the dealer or repairer should communicate with the State Po- lice Department without delay"
 This caution is only one feature of the booklet, which may be obtained without cost at the motor vehicle department. It also contains all essential information about motor vehicle laws and regula- tions affecting dealers and repairers. Another booklet just issued by the de- partment deals exclusively with motor o,,I who permit automobile trucks to coast down hills will be vigorously prosecut- ed, as the practice is considered one of ] the most dangerous elements to be con- | tended with on the highways

WINDOW GLASS MEN INDICTED UNDER
 ANTITRUST LAW
Over 100 Manufacturers and Heads of Labor Unions Are Named by
 Federal Grand Jury.

New York, March 24,-The Ameri- can Window Glass Company of Pitts burgh; the Johnston Brokerage Com pany, Pennsylvania corporation; more than 100 window glass manu- lecturers and heads of three labor unions in the industry, were indicted by the federal grand jury this week for violation of the Sherman anti trust law.
 The indictment takes the place of one filed November 28 in which the Johnston Brokerage Company was named the principal defendant, but which was recently quashed in the federal court for lack of jurisdiction. It neglected to charge commission of an overt act in the southern district of New York, and to rectify this de- feet, United States Attorney Hayward conducted new investigation on a wider scale.
 The labor men, who are charged i'll the indictment with aiding the manu- lecturers in limiting the supply of window glass, thereby keeping up prices, are Joseph N. Meenan, presi- dent of the National Window Glass Workers; James T. Zellers, president of the Window Glass Cutters and Flatteners Protective Association and w. A. Andorfet, president of the Win dow Glass Cutters and Flatteners As sociation of America.
 The American Window Glass Com pany was described by federal off, cials as the "machine-made window glass trust" and the Johnston Brok- craze Company was accused of hav- ing acted as a common selling agent for many of the glass factories scat tered throughout the country.
 The labor leaders are charged with having illegally used the membership of their unions to curtail production, by working only one-third Of each year, thus enabling arbitrary and ex- cessive prices to be charged for the product. These acts, federal officials declared, had advanced prices from 10 cents pane for ordinary window glass a foot square, to over 30 cents d pane.
 Among the practices indulged in, it was alleged, was an allocation to each factory of part of the total business Of the country by mathematical divi- sion of the amount of glass manufac- tured by all, divided into quotas and assigned to each factory, and a scheme of price-f1xing through central selling agencies within the southern district of New York.
 The corporations named in the in dictment are mostly in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, Kansas and Oklahoma.
