BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG.

w = HEN the next session of Congress
M gets fairly under way. the United
" states Shipping Board, which came
into being during the World War; is
going to be called upon to fight for
its very life
There Is no mistaking the gathering storm In
more than one official quarter there is evinced
determination to crush this powerful indie
pendent agency Of the Federal Government
either by removing the board entirely from the
field OF operating the ships of the American
merchant marine through separating It from
the Emergency Fleet Corporation or by com.
pletely abolishing 1t.
No time is being lost by of those who
intend to take leading part in the fight this
coming Winter to scrap, for all time the Ship
ping Board, the ma jority of whose members
have been In open conflict with Admiral Palmer
IN the administration of the affairs of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. of which he is
president and In his attempts to sell ships to
private owners.
These opponents of the board are making no
secret of their intentions to battle to the end.
The opinion prevails in more than quar-
ter that 1t would not be surprising to see Pres-
dent Coolidge give his support to those who are
making ready to bring about the doom of the
board by getting legislation passed providing for
the boards complete adjustment.
President Has Been Sounded.
The President already has been sounded out
upon this proposed legislation, and although
those who have discussed their plans Of attack
with him have not considered It prudent to di-
vulge at this time his views, there are indica
tons that he is in what might be described
a very receptive mOOQ. he mas not COmmltteQ
himself. That is not the Coolidge way He first
will give the matter much study and will seek
the advice of many in whom he has confidence
before he reaches any decision. He will first
want to know just what should be done
garding the various functions of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation In the event the Shipping
Board, it's socalled parent. is killed off, and
just how to handle the regulation Of maritime
rates and other semi-judicial functions.
Those questions do not present difficult
problem, the President is known to have been
told by more than one OF those who are pre-
pairing to train their heavy guns on the Ship
ping Board.
In this connection. one high Official in whom
President Coolidge is known to have the great
est confidence suggests that the semi-Judical
functions, which. by the way, every one agrees
were quite properly intrusted to the board
could be turned over to the Interstate Com
merce Commission to handle just 1t does
the matters OF rates and rate making of the
railroads of the country.
Not Serious Obstacle.
This official suggests also that the semi
judicial functions could be by any board or
special body designated by Congress. This de-
tail is not considered important and those who
are after the scalp of the Shipping Board do
