Northwest Lumber Industries
and Pacific Shipping Favor
cd, Says B. c. Forbes.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 15.-B. G..
Forbes, editor Of Forbes Magazine
and authority on business conditions,
today declared that the Pacific coast
should experience an era of excep-
tionai prosperity when the rail and
coal strikes are terminated.
"The Northwest numbering indus.
try is particularly favorable in view
of the big demand throughout the
East for lumber In the building
trades. The San Francisco shipping
industry, according to leaders In
that line with whom I have dis
cussed conditions has an encourag-
ing outlook" Forbes said.
when the strikes are over the
whole nation will experience a gen.
eral business revival. The business
situation undoubtedly has been more
than ordinarily sound to have with
stood with so little apparent damage
the effects of the strikes.
Interference with the movement
of railway traffic has brought about
q remarkable state of mind in the
American people. They are realiz-
ing now that II is UP to them to pre-
vent both capital and labor from be-
coming tyrannioal and dictatorial,
subjecting the public to unreason.
able treatment.
The people through their Gov
eminent are determined to rule and
have made up their minds not to
allow either group to impose its will
on the vast majority which makes
up those who receive most injury
from labor troubles"

SUBSIDY BILL
FAVORED As AID
SHIPPING
Former Senator Chamberlain
Favors Measure After Ex-
haustive Study on Coast.
BY GEORGE e. CHAMBERLAIN

Commissioners United states Shipping
Board.
(written Expressly for Universal Service. }
Whenever you find a foreign
ship in an American port you find
an argument in favor of some form
of Government aid or subsidy for
American shipping.
l have just returned from q tip
to the Pacific coast which enabled
me to study shipping in the Pacific
ports at close range. l went on
board foreign vessels and inspected
them. l found crews receiving less
than one-fourth the monthly wages
paid American crews; l found con-
ditions generally inferior to con-
ditions under which American sea-
men work.
Must Aid Lines.
The American seaman would not
work under such conditions, nor
should he be expected to do so. We
must not lower the standard Of liv'
ing for American seamen, but IL we
chant marine Of foreign countries
aid the American merchant marine.
This Government must devise some
practical method Of meeting the diff.
ferential in favor of foreign ships
against American shipping.
Money expended on the American
merchant marine will remain in the
United States. 1t makes no differ
ence how or where the money is eN-
pended, It is not sent out Of the
country. II we ship our cargoes in
American ships the money remains
here.
Operators Of foreign vessels con.
trive to make their expenditures in
their own country. II a foreign
vessel comes to an American port
in need of repairs. the master will
make temporary repairs and patch
up his ship just to the extent that
is necessary to enable him to limp
home, where the actual repairs are
made. l was impressed with the
fact that practically all of the re.
pair and alteration work on GER
tain foreign vessels I saw on the
Pacific coast was done by the crew.
There appeared to be q studied
plan of economy that prevented
the expenditure Of any money in
the United States II II could posi-
bly, be avoided. Yet those vessels
were in our ports seeking Ameri,
can cargoes. An American mer.
chant marine means work for
American shipyards.
We hear a great deal Of talk
nowadays about a tariff for the
protection OF American industries
and the thing that puzzles me is
that many men who are so insistent
on protecting our infant industries
are opposed to aid for American
shipping, perhaps the greatest in
dustry we have. The upbuilding
and maintenance Of an American
merchant marine will prove advan'
tageous to industry generally
throughout the United States
whether 1t be the factory or farm.

NEW YORK. Aug. 15.-Both as
an offset to the bear drive on prices
In the last hour of yesterdays ses

ter feeling created by the virtual set

be rated as a success. 1t did not
take long to force the realization
that yesterdays drive against prices
had been somewhat overdone, and
had failed of it's chief object, that OF
dislodging stocks from long holders
consequently. when short covering
was attempted. the usual scarcity OF
stocks helped In the sharp recovery
OF prices.
Industrials were the first to re,

the speculative district, but the rails
quickly followed and stocks which
had been sold quite heavily in the
last hour yesterday recovered In
quick time. At S9A Great Northern

creased in volume In the first hour,
and before the noon period the rail-
road shares were the most active in
the whole speculative list.
Industrials were Of course
strengthened by the more favorable
outlook in the coal situation and the
same might also be said Of the steel
stocks. There was a return Of spec
ulative interest today in the indus

dormant while the railroad stocks
were absorbing market attention.
American Can came back with an
advance Of two points to 58h; Fam
Gus Players sold at a new high at

Steel stocks were more conspicu-
Gus in the early trading today than
they have been for some time and
prices advanced under a heavy turn

in this movement, selling up 2h at
97A, while Republic gained 1% at
7s%. Westinghouse at 62h was the
most prominent Of the electrical
company stocks.
The broadening out OF the market
today was sufficient to include the
tobacco, copper, motor and shipping
stocks, all Of which were in good

Retail Stores distinguished Itself by
a quick advance to 6S. up 2S. To-

land preferred sold into higher
ground, and Studebaker gained about
one point. American International
