MERCHANT MARINE
SUBSIDY IS URGED
Business Mems Committee
Says U. S. Shipping Cannot
Pay Its Own Way.

Al adequate merchant marine is de-
pendent upon some form of effective
Government aid. II is declared In the
report OF the committee on Govern
Inent aid TO shipping of the National
Merchant Marine Conference, which
Was made public today prior to the
IneerinE Of the conference Monday
and Tuesday to be held under the
auspices of the United States Cham
Der Of Commerce.
The report was made after six
month examination of the shipping
situation by members of the commit
tee. which is composed Of representa-
lives of manufacturers, mercantile,
agriculture. labor and shipping inter
ests. 1t was forecast today that the
conclusions reached by the committee
would be Incorporated to some extent,
at least, in the final conclusions OF the
conference.
High Wages Blamed.
The American shipowner ard opera
sor. the committee found, is handi-
capped by higher costs both in the
building and operation OF his vessels,
most of which it attributed to the
higher wages paid the American
workman and sailor. The present def
3cits of the shipping Board were held
TO be in effect subsidies to foreign
trade, amounting to S24 900 600, or
nearly $1,000, 600 4 year for each yes

The committee also regarded as un-
desirable attempts to aid shipping by
forcing diversion of traffic to Ameri-
can bottoms through legislative ac-
ton" which 1t held, tended TO restrict

cause complications and delays. Such
measures as restriction Of Immigrant

as measures which by their nature

requiring them to grant a license to
Franklin J.. Nash to conduct an as
sembly hall at 708 street. Mr.. Nash
says the defendants are exceeding
their authority in refusing the license
because the hall is situated above a
garage. The regulation relating to
halls over places where gasoline is
stored is characterized by him as un-
reasonable. He claims he would have
20 expend 100000 to meet the require
'ments of the regulation, which he
declares unnecessary because of the
remoteness of fire hazard at his
place. Attorneys George F. Williams
