FEDERAL GUILT
IN SEA DISASTER
Allowed 47-Year Old
San Juan to Sail

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2.-Sea-
men up and down the Pacific Coast
are blaming the federal steamship
inspection authorities for the loss of
at least "a lives in the crash be-
tween the old steamer San Juan and
the oil tanker Dodd. While federal
authorities pretended to determine
responsibility" for last Fridays dis
aster, it was charged by seamen that
only corruption could have permitted
the federal authorities to permit the
47-year-old San Juan to function as
carrier of passengers.
The fact that the San Juan sunk
in five minutes was clear evidence
that the old hulk was unseaworthy.
To whitewash themselves for the
responsibility for the loss of "a
lives, the fedealr authorities are at
tempting to make members of the
San Juan crew, most of whom per-
ished when the ship went down, the
goats for the disaster, spreading re-
ports of "cowardice" on the crews
part. Charges of cowardice on the
crews part are ISLANDERS, coastwise
seamen state, pointing out that no
crew could have done anything with
an old ship like the San Juan, which
sunk so rapidly due to its unsea-
worthiness.
The federal hearing, which
started Satr day will be resumed to-
morrow before Captain Frank Turn
er and Joseph Dolan, federal in
spectors of boilers and hulls. Com
plete whitewash for the federal in
spectors is probable.
Only two bodies have been picked
up thus far. This is DE to the fact
that the watt, IL miles off Pigeon
Point, scene of the disc ter, is about
$500 feet deep. Vessels were comb
ing the seas for bodies. Confusion
in passenger lists places the exact
number OF victims in Doubt, but ID
is the total known missing thus far

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. - An
other sharp fight over the senate

will present their bill, slightly mod
flied but still favoring large indus
trial interests, for hacking by Gin
dependent" farm republicans and in
dividual New England manufacture
ers temporarily in alliance with
them.
The stand Of the latter was ex-
pressed by the democrat senator,
David ]. Walsh Of Massachusetts,
who characterizes the present bill as
"a stiletto thrust at Eastern bust
ness interests. '''i' !.
Walsh complained that the new
bill spoiled provisions of the earlier
tariff under which "bulky raw ma
terials could be imported by water
and used near the places Of their
Importation. NJ - 4"
Under the new schedules, he held
interior manufacturers could force
New. England manufacturers to buy
from them exclusively.
To justify the 20 per cent tariff
on imported shoes Senator Smoot
rehashed the familiar A.. F.. of l.
argument Of protection Of Ameri.

keep employed the thousands OF
American women in American shoe
factories" he. said. He had no diff

slightest curiosity as to the wages
