GREAT LAKES SHIPPERS
EXPECT HEAVY TRAFFIC

CLEVELAND, O., March %
Cleveland vessel men are -radic+iro
pig season in Great Lakes FREIGHT
traffic this year. Business for sever
al seasons has been spotty, but ore.
coal and grain operators are regain
ing confidence as the approach of
navigation opens.
Coal for the northwest will lbe in
demand, since the docks in the unper
lakes will not have their usual ac-
cumulatlon. Two million tons of coal
were on the docks in the northwest
when navigation opened last wear,
very little, if any, will be left this
year.
Movement Of iron ore predicted
Tor the present season is about 55.-
100000 tons, compared with AZ
2OO0OO tons last season. Iron ore Is
being consumed rather rapidly at the
furnaces, and stocks on the docks will
be lower than at the opening of nav
igation last year.
Gram shipments depend on crop
and market conditions. If thew hold
up to the figures of the last two sea-
sons, the total movement of bulk
freight on the Great Lakes for the
lg23- season is expected to be more
chan T00,00O,0O0 tons compared
with 89,454,848 tons in 1922 and
C8,033,575 tons in 1921.
The record ore movement was in
1916, when 65,000,O00 tons were
brought down. The lowest movement

CHURCH LAITY WANTS
PART in NAMING BISHOPS

LONDON, Msrch 2B.-The an
pointment Of bishops in the church Of
England, which dis the prerogative Of
the prime minister, has again been
attacked by members of the church.
The question was brought before a
committee of the recent National AS
sembly of the church but no action
was taken, although a large section
of the low church members urged
that the matter be brought before the
main body OF the assembly.
The matter was again before the
public at the recent convocation of
the Lower House of York, when
a motion was made that the church
should have direct voice in the ap-
pointment of bishops. 1t was pointed
out that the last two premiers had
not been members of the church Of
England, although they had the pow
er of appointing the church heads
