New York. Jan. 31.-The war of the North Atlantic brews in the passenger end of the ship ping business.
 lnnumerable millions of dollars promise to be poured into it by five great maritime nations-the United states. Great Britain, Germany, Italy, France--beforc q decision is reached.
 The war Is on because Of the de- mand of transatlantic passengers for two things speed and luxury. De- selopments in it. present or prospec- tive. include:
 Building of new American fleet of six liners of a brand new type costing $125, 5,o00.OOo. these ships to be capable of crossing the Atlantic in four days.
 Fastening of construction of great new ships for British. German and Italian companies.
 Preparations for the use of air. planes by many first class liners, as a means of shortening the time that passengers must spend on the water.
 A transatlantic passenger traffic that from November. 1926. to Mo- vember. 1927. amounted to almost | million fares-all classes included
New Britain herald., 1928-01-31

is the prize for which the rival steamship. companies are competing A secondary consideration is the transportation of mail and fast freight.
 $l75,OOO, 900 in Passenger Revenue
 Transatlantic travel in the year ending November l, 1927. totaled 362,353 eastbound and 5S1,774 west bound passages according to reports to the Atlantic conference of steam- ship companies. These figures arc for all ships in the North Atlantic service exclusive of those Tn the Mediterranean. Canadian. Mexican, Cuban and West Indian trade. The fares paid totaled probably s113.- 100000.
 This volume Of travel came near that of 1913, the banner year hereto fore. In 1913, fares across the At lantic were far less than they arc now. Then came the World war and the severe "crimp" it put in passen. ger traffic, followed by immigration restrictions.
 It Is the Transoceanic Corporation allied with the American Brown Boveri Electric corporation. that proposes the $l25.o00,o00 American thrust at the big companies of other lands. This corporation Is trying to obtain a loan of $90,000,000 from the L. s. government.
 If it succeeds. it is announced six liners will be built. fashioned after the new naval airplane carriers Lex

The senator made his charge DUR
ing testimony Of S. III. Robbins,
president Of the Ohio Coal Operators

Picking up his testimony from yes

ination Of Ohio coal from its custo-
mary markets.
Miners officials were charged by
Robins with taking an arbitrary
position with reference to wage
scales" He also blamed the pres
