SHIP SUBSIDY
FIRST TARGET
OF FEDERATION
tFrom International Labor Press)
Special to The Review.


Cincinnati, o., June i2.sse sub
sidy, pride OF a select sllippiry ring,
due to be jammed through congress
if power can turn the trick, was the
first target of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. Resolution No. !, by
First Vice President James Duncan,
branding the ship subsidy bill as de
structive of the nations hopes for
sea power was adopted by unani-
nous vote.
Andrew Furusath, president Of The
International Seamen's Union, the on
ly speaker on the resolution, de-
nounced it as "the most scientific loot
ing arrangement that ! have ever
seem"
Copies of the resolution were tele-
grapher by President Gompers today
to President Harding and to the pre-
siding officers of both Houses of Con-
gress.
The resolution follows:
WHEREAS, The bill known as
S 3217 now pending in Congress and
which is purported to be "a bill to
amend and supplement the Merchant
Marine Act of 1920 and for other pur-
poses," is in reality a cunningly de-
vised scheme to enrich certain classes
of so-called American ship-owners at
the expense of the truly American
taxpayer and also to provide patron
age which is certain to be used for
purely political purposes; and
WHEREAS, Said bill commonly
known as the "Ship Subsidy Bill' is
being widely misrepresented as a
measure intended for, and necessary
to the maintenance and up-building
of the American Merchant Marine;
and
WHEREAS, The facts are that its
enactment into law will bring about
a condition under which all managers
and operators of ships must regard
politics as the prime factor in their
business, and efficient management as
a secondary consideration of COM
paratively little importance; and
WHEREAS, The claim that ship
subsidies are necessary to equalize
the cost of operation between foreign
and American vessels is deceptive,
and cannot be substantiated except IN
cases where such inequality exists be-
cause American government officials
have failed, and are failing, to pro-
perly enforce the existing American
laws, intended to promote equaiiza-
ton, this being especially true of the
law known as the LaFollette Sea
mems Act; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, By the American
Federation of Labor, in regular con-
vention assembled, that the said Ship
Subsidy Bill be condemned as mimi
cal to the public interest, and par
ticularly destructive to the nations
hopes and aspirations for sea power;
further
RESOLVED; That copies of this
resolution be sent to the President OF
the United States, members Of the
Cabinet, and to the members of Con-
gress."

assembled should call upon the Off
GERS OF the American government 10
invite the nations of the world te a
conference for the purpose Of discuss
ing how far the limitation of arma-
men could go. And our convention
did make that declaration. Il was al
most month later when the govern-
ment of the United States sent its i'm
Titations TO the nations Of the world

in our capital for the limitation of
ornaments.
There were not very good results
accomplished. counted with that which
still exists, but beginning has been
made, and the consistent course pre-
sented by the American Federation Of
Labor for peace and the abolition OF

STEEL TRUST
DRIVEN TOWARD
EIGHT-H0UR DAY

By international Labor News Service.
Washington, d. c.--Why is Gary
willing 30 consider" elimination Of
the l2-hour day at this time when the
steel interests have automatically OPP
posed it heretofore?
/. Because the S-hour day has been
established in the European steel in
dustry.
2. Because the S-hour day has been
established in the japanese steel in
dustry.
3. Because sentiment in the United
States is opposed to the 12-hour day.
4. Because another strike is feared
and the 12-hour day is dynamite If 1t
is continued in the face of the general
drift toward shorter working hours.
5. Because the restriction Of immi-
grafton will make Il impossible for
the steel industry to get an adequate
labor supply unless it introduces a
working day which viii be more at
tractive to working people.
s. Because the workers IN the steel
industry are even now smarting under
a sense of oppression formerly not
very much felt so that the efficiency
of the 12-hour day, never very high,
is seriously suffering.
Z. Because the steel industry Is
face to face with the inevitable.
s. Because more than 20 steel
plants have seen the handwriting on
the wall and have already changed
from two to three shifts.
8. Because the profits Of the COM
panies, which have made the change,
have not been affected by the change.
