Canadian Shippers
Join in Opposition
To Toll for Seaway
Rx thu AssosiaiAd Hrasx


TORONTO, Nov. 28.-The Domin-
ion Marine Association, represent
ing owners of 1875 lake vessels, yes
terday allied itself with the Lake
Carriers Association Of the United
States in opposing any toll system
on the proposed st. Lawrence seaway
plan.
Announcement of the associations
stand was made in a 3,O00-word
petition being sent to Canadian
Transport Minister Lionel Chevrier
over the signature of Secretary
George r. Donovan and released
here today.
The association contended that If
tolls were levied, the st. Lawrence
waterway would have to compete
for traffic with the New York State
Barge Canal which would be toll.
free.
$1.25 Toll Proposed.
A toll of SIPS a ton proposed
by the American Government which
would mean 81 cents bushel on
wheat moving through the st. Law
renee system, would place the st.
Lawrence route beyond competition
with the New York system, the
associations petition added.
The petition quoted statistics
showing toll of $371 ton would
have to be collected to carry the
project.
This would affect the cost of
living of every man, woman and
child on the continent, and would
surely be a factor toward imitation" !"
Other Rates Seen Affected.
The petition suggested that the
increase in water-bor freight rates
would also result in an increase in
freight rates Of other carriers.
"Water-borne commerce has dull
purpose-it not only gives cheap
transportation but sets competitive
rates for other carriers in the areas
which 1t services" the petition con-
cluded.
ANY attempts to collect tolls on
water-borne commerce would auto
matically increase the freight rates
of other carriers and would reflect
itself in the disruption Of business
and the cost of living"

Louis-WaIcott
Bout 0kay

Philadelphia, Pa, Apr. (NNPA
The National Boxing Associ-
alton said last Sunday that it
would approve heavyweight
championship bout between cham
pion Joe Louis and Jersey Joe
Walcott.
In a statement announcing that
Herman Taylor, Philadelphia pro-
moter, and Walcott's managers
have offered Louis a 100000 guar
antee to meet Walcott this sum-
mer, the MIA made it plain that it
was not interested in terms for
such a bout but said the bout
would have its approval because
Walcott is rated at the top of out
standing boxers challenging Louis
title.
Meanwhile, Joe Webster, Wal
colts manager, denied a Los An
geles report that he has accepted
a Walcott-Joe Maxim fight under
the auspices of Frank Sinatra, the
crooner. Webster said Walcott
would accept no other match while
there was possibility of his fight
ing Louis for the title.

to a s-Walcott championship
match, the MIA made an obvi-
Gus move to wrest complete con-

White Jury Grants
$500 Verdict In
Jim Crow Case

Louisville, KY, Apr. - (NNPA)
- After a two-day trial, an all
white jury here returned a YER
dict of $500 in favor of James E..
Stamps of Chicago and Ennis l..
Powell of Charleston, West Vir-
ginia, avainst the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company be-
cause of its refusal to serve them
in dining car on March II, 1916.
According to the testimony at
the trial, Mr.. Stamps and Mr.. Pow
ell left Nashville at $3.50 a. m. Mar.
IL, 1916. They went to the dining
car about 10 a. m. for breakfast
and stood in line with other pas
sengers until their turn in line
was reached.
The only vacant table in the car
was beyond the section reserved
for colored passengers. They pro-
ceeded to the vacant table, but
were prevented from sitting down
by the steward, who told them
they could be served only at the
two tables reserved for colored
passengers, which had curtains to
hide colored diners from white.
In selecting the jury, four pros
pective jurors admitted they were
prejudiced and were opposed to
colored passengers eating in the
same dining car with white travel
ers.
The trial judge in his chambers
refused to grant the request of
Sidney A. Jones, Jr., of Chicago,
and Charles w. Anderson, Jr.,
and Benjamin F. Shobe, the lat
ter two of Louisville, attorneys
for the plaintiffs, that the biased
prospective jurors be excused.
They used three of their four
peremptory challenges to excuse
three of the four prospective pre-
JUDGED jurors but left a woman on
the jury who said she was pre-
JUDGED and opposed to white and
colored passengers eating in the
same dining car.
The plaintiffs sued for damages
of $4,000. Attorney Anderson, in
the closing argument, said the
plaintiffs were most interested in
the principle involved than none
tary damages and suggested $500
as a fair sum to be awarded them.
After celebrating several hours,
the jury returned a verdict for 800.
