SENATOR MAKES BITTER ATTACK ON SUBSIDY BILL Fletcher, Commerce Committee Member, Opposes Pas sage of Measure. ASSAILS SHIPPING BOARD Favors Sale of Vessels and Government Insurance for Operators. WASHINGTON, July 18. The ad ministration ship subsidy bill was attacked in the senate Tuesday, by Sen. Fletcher, democrat, Florida former chairman and now ranking minority member of the senate commerce committee, who said the bill had "provisions for subventions, indirect subsides and direct subsidies upon a scale never before contemplated." The Florida senator added that in his opinion it would at this time be a mistake and most unfortunate for the country to enact them into laws. Sale of shipping board vessels on long time payments and government insurance for American ship operators were recommended by Sen. Fletcher. May Escape Taxes Analyzing the pending bill, Sen. Fletcher said it proposed to lend money to ship purchasers at rates lower than the government could itself obtain. He also thought that the Standard Oil, the United States

Steel corporation, United Fruit and other great corporations maintaining fleets of vessels, would, under the bill, escape all taxes on their shipping property. "If the chairman of the shipping

board." Sen. Fletcher added, "instead of furnishing arguments to congressmen and spending money on a publicity campaign to persuade voters of the country to favor this bill, would spend his time and devote his energies to persuading American ship owners that they ought to patronize our own ship yards and American merchants that they ought to give their business to American ships, and American bankers that they ought to encourage American shipping that would be much more helpful in establishing an American merchant marine and much less costly to American people.'" Attacking the provision of the bill for government aid, Sen. Fletcher said it would give the ordinary 10,000 ton vessel a subsity of $16,500 annually and the Leviathan $1,700,000. Flays Shipping Board The bill, Sen. Fletcher continued, also would give the shipping board "the power of life or death over any, shipping company or vessel owner, the privilege of rewarding favoriteto an unlimited extent and of ruining those not liked; of building up ports and destroying them, as the board might determine." This great power, the senator added, would be conferred upon an "or ganization already in disrepute and already notoriously partisan, already in politics at government expense. already such a failure that it boasts of it. "The vision of a merchant marine coming out of this bill is a decep(Continued on Page Two) CHARGES THREATS TO KEEP UP RATES Sen. Lenroot Rebukes Colleagues for Attitude Toward Tariff Bill. WASH1NCTON. -July 18 -- A charge by Sen. Lenroot, republican Wisconsin, that threats to slash rates in the agricultural schedule had been issued in an effort to keep republican senators in line on rates in the cotton schedule of the pending tariff bill enlivened senate debate Tuesday on that measure. In this connection Sen. Lenroot took to task some of his colleagues for what he termed "blindly following" the finance committee majority on rates in the bill, urging that they form "independent judgment." Sen. Lenroot, who has been leading republican opposition to many of the rates in the cotton section, had just lost a fight to cut the common duty on knit cotton underwear from 50 percent ad valorem to 40 percent ad valorem. The vote was 29 to 26, with seven republicans voting for the lower rate. After his charge about the threats, Sen. Lenroot offered a second amendment to make the rate 45 percent and that was approved 28 to 27, with 11 republicans supporting it. This was the only case in which the committee was overturned Tuesday, but on all items except handkerchiefs and mufflers, substantial reductions in the original were proposed by the committee majority. "Last week," said Sen. Lenroot, "there was a very considerable break on this (the republican) side in the beginning of the consideration of the cotton schedule and the committee was defeated in a number of instances. Immediately word went around the republican side of this chamber that there would be retaliation if that were continued; that if these cotton rates were to be disturbed and if the committee were not blindly followed with reference to them, the agricultural schedule would suffer when this bill comes into the senate."
