SHIPPING BILL
IS ADVOCATED
Chamber of Commerce to
Press Legislation by
Present Congress
OPPOSE OPERATION
BY OLD BOARD

Special to The Evening Journal.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3O.-The
Chamber of Commerce OF the
United States announced today that
business organizations throughout
the country will begin this week an
active campaign to obtain passage
of ship subsidy legislation at the
present session of Congress, This
action IS important in view Of the
fact of the improvement Of the
Wilmington Harbor, which is as
sured OF satisfactory appropriation
of $3.50. 900. according to Senator
i. Heislcr Ball, a member Of the
Senate Commerce Committee.
In a statement sent out 20 the
chambers members. Elliot II. Good
win. resident vlce-president, points
out what the alternative will be If
the shipping bill fails 10 pass.
=. Inevitably there will he a slump
back 10 costly Shipping Board opera
ton he declares. This board, 4"
he continues. has asked for an ap-
propriation of S5O.O0O.0OO for the
ensuing fiscal year 10 cover the
losses due solely 10 the mere opera
sions OF its vessels. This is nearly
double the amount asked for the
ship subsidy. but large as il is 1t
does not cover overhead expenses,
depreciation. requirements, or addi-
tions TO the fleet.
The government must be pre-
pared to balance its fleet by build
ing a large number of combination
cargo and passenger ships. II has
1t the present time but 40 passen-
ger and cargo boats and 1900 cargo
boats. making an unbalanced fleet
which cannot be used TO advantage.
The Board would find IL necessary
10 develop boats which could be used
as naval auXillaries AT time Of war.
If the above things are not done
our government fleet must be aban-
doned or scrapped. and our over
seas trade placed in the hands of
foreign nations with practically no
competition from US.
b. Opponents of a ship subsidy
have 20 date brought forward but
few proposals that may he dignifled
BY discussion. one suggestion made
IS to abolish the shipping board. |
turn the government ships over to
real operators, who have demon /
strated their ability 20 manage mer- /
chant ships reduce the enormous !
and unnecessary overhead; operate I

up for the present. otherwise dis |
tribute them 10 the different ports. /
care for them and encourage the
ports to take advantage of them /
and get them in service as soon as

in answer TO these suggestions 1t
may be inquired as TO who are the
PEAL operators. who have demon
their ability successfully
meaning proftably-to manage
American merchant ships in over
seas trades in normal times, TO say
nothing of present-day conditions?

Uncle Harry Talks About
the Latest reinforcement in
Transatlantic Communications

Harry. Many experiments and a
great deal OF money Will be neces-
sary before the experiments that
are now being carried on are COM
pleted. This is not the first time
that words and messages have been
wireleseed across the ocean. but II
is the first time that thousands OF
words have been sent over three
thousand miles and have been heard
by people assembled on the other
side as distinctly as il they were
listening TO telephone call from
someone i'm their own city"

radio-telephone is primarily for use

from the evidence OF one (and only
one), operator Of shipping board
vessels. who testified at the con-
gressional committee hearings that
out Of l3 vessels he made a profit
from the voyage operations Of but
three. and said, OF course in my
operation I am not charged charter
hire, interest or depreciation. He
might have added. 'or insurance or
repairs. This constitutes the evil
dence OF the existence Of the large
number Of successful operators
necessary for the operation of the
great fleet Of government-owned
vessels.
"As TO the suggestion that the
shipping board directly operate the
profitable ships, this would necessi-
tate taking over the Offices and per-
sonnel of agencies, thereby increas-
ing shipping board forces and ship
ping board costs.
If the further suggestion is fol-
lowed of tying up Improbable ships
this would necessarily tie up prac-
tically the entire fleet. The trade
that has been built up in the last
few years. at great pains and ex-
pense, and in many instances out
OF foreign ports with which hitherto
we have had no direct trade connec-
tiOns, would. if the above sugges-
ton We're followed. practically dis
appear The advantages gained TO
date would be lost.
American shipping today IS in
a more depressed state than IL has
ever been at any time during the
past century. Even IL times were
normal there would be no induce
ment for Americans 70 invest their
money in ships for ocean service In
competition with foreigners. This
has been demonstrated by the fail
ures Of the past and by comparative
statistics published in recent months.
Within the next few weeks
decision must be reached as to
whether the government will con-
tinue 10 pour out millions through
the shipping board or will tie up
the government-owned tonnage and
allow II 10 deteriorate 10 a state OF
worthlessness. and disregard all the
economic and political lesson OF
history relating 10 a merchant ma

pend during the next ten years a

JUDGE HARGETT IS. PLACED IN JET |CE AS DRY DIRECTOR
Strict Enforcement Of Prohi- bition Law Is Promised
 By New Chief

Alabama's new prohibition director, Judge A. w. Hargett, was sworn into office Tuesday, giving the state the first permanent prohibition director since Judge Charles M. Sartain of Jas per resigned June 30. Edgar N. Read, who served as temporary director, in troduced the new director, and Mack Overpeck of New Orleans, division prohibition chief, gave the oath to Judge Hargett.
 Judge Hargett said it would be some time before any announcement of the plans of the department could be given out, but he stated the prohi- bition law would be enforced through out the state and that he was inter- ested in strict enforcement for the benefit of the state.
 T know that the department will have the closest cooperation from the people in Alabama who are believers in prohibition enforcement. This de- partment will give the state the best service possible and we hope the peo- pie will lend their assistance In this work. The citizens of RusseIlville, where I served one term as sheriff and one term as probate judge, know
 
 the Eighteenth amendment and 1t is hoped that the people who live in other sections of tho state will realize this fact"
 The position of director for the state is a big job and I am going to do my best to see that there are no violations of the law. My time will be fully devoted to the work. AS soon as the department begins to function as we wish it, I know there will be no criticism from the citizens of the state. The department intends em ploying the best men possible to work as field agents. We are going ahead with the plans MT. Read and l have mapped out and while I would not venture statement as to when the department will function as desired, 1t is hoped it will be one of the best in the country. before Christmas" To Enlarge Field Force.
 It is believed that the first official action of Judge Hargett will be to en- large the field force of the depart ment to the total allowed by the treasury department. Two appoint ments were made Tuesday, bringing the total number of field agents to Il. The state Is allowed IT agents, and the others will be appointed soon, 1t is believed. Many of the vacancies in the ranks of the department were caused during the shake-up in the department during .ne summer.
 The appointment of Judge Hargett is taken as a sign that peace again reigns in the prohibition department, following the agitation several months ago when Judge Sartain res signed and four members of the de- partment were indicted by the fed eral grand jury. Many applications for the position of director had been received through the department, but it was generally conceded that Judge Hargett would be the appointee.
 Read, who had served as temporary director after the confusion in the department, left for Washington last week and the appointment of Judge Hargett was soon announced. While in the capital Read is said to have taken up several matters with the department heads regarding the Ala bama situation.

FIRMS ARE LAGGING
 IN GETTING LICENSES
Only 10 Per Cent Of Business Men Pay Fees Due By November 1

Business firms of Jefferson county must obtain their licenses or be In danger of getting into trouble for not having them. Out of a total of ap- proximately 7,500 only 750, or 10 per cent, were issued for the first half of the month. This other 90 per cent Is delinquent November 1.
 Unwillingness on the part of busi- ness men to part with their money for these licenses was given as a probable reason why so few applica- tions have been received at Probate Judge J. P. Stiles office. A rush for them Is expected during the last few days of the month.
 Only $500 automobile licenses have been issued since the first of October, or about one-siXth of the total num- Der to be licensed. Between 400 and 500 are being issued every day, but this rate must be increased consider ably if al the cars Tn Jefferson coun- ty are to be properly licensed by the middle of November. There is little delay or confusion in issuing them. Applications are just not coming na fast enough.
 A total of $7s,oOs.5o has been col lected for automobile licenses up to Tuesday and s37,9s692 for business licenses.

 MT. Hawkins estimated that the average value being placed on auto mobiles that escaped taxation last wear is s2O0 and that the county col Iects S6 in taxes on each car.
 In asking for increased salaries for employees in his department Tuesday, MT. Hawkins said that the increases for which he was asking world amount only to about 30 per
