OGDEN 6 CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT - DUTY For Constructing a Tunatl From tha Gunnison River to the Uncom-pahgr- e Valley for tion Purpose. Discovers the Trail of the Serpent" in a Direct Government Aid for American Ship Owners and Suggest the Substitute of a Discriminating Duty Policy. The view, of Washington, Jan. 6 the minority of the Merchant Marine oommlsafcm have been prepared la the fora of a report which tomorrow will be Dade la the Senate by Senator Mallory of Florida and la the House Mlasie-ipp- i. by Representative Splght of also by The report la signed 4 Bcpresenutlve McDermott of New jaraey. Senator Martin of 'Virginia, li the only Democratic member of the commission whohas not subscribed to the minority views. lUpreaeatativa Splght is the author ' of the minority report, the principal tasters of which la advocacy of the discriminating duty policy a a aubatl-tat- e for direct government aid for Americas ship owners aa proposed by the bill presented by the commission, la thia bill, the minority says, We cannot help' but see the "Trail of the serpent" that baa been over all other blUa oa this subject. Pointing to the fact tiiat the discriminating duty ayatem lad been the policy of the fathers of the republic the minority declares that shipping Ineeresta were marvelously developed In our early history and that the same system would bring like results la this age. It is said that the fear of retaliation, consequent on the necessity of abrogating trestle with mart lima eauntrls In order to carry this system iato operation la not well lounded. On thia subject the minor. ity aayi: "In ear infancy aa a nation, we not only faced thia danger courageously, ,1ml successfully, and our shipping- prospered far beyond anything .we hao. witnessed since we bound ourselves by ,treaties virtually to sure render sur business on the high seas.' 'Commenting oa the material differ-- . ence between the cost of construction an foreign ship yards the minority declares that the" hearings conducted by the commission 'show that the greater coat of labor M the Ameriraa yards la largely overcome by the greater efficiency of the Amert-ra- n artisan and the nee of Improved tools. The greater impediment' to cheaper ships in American yards Is declared by the minority to be "The necessary and exorbitant - tariff imposed Upon steel and Iron products," The minority aays further: It has been conclusively shown by leslimosy before this commission that materials which enter into the construction of ships are sold by our factorise aad laid down In foreign ship yards tor a price far below: ithat charged at the mills to oar own peo - . 1 ple a condition that would not exist hut for the unjust provisions of our tariff laws. ' .The minority declares the testimony "indicates tiiat the cosl of constructing ships in American yards had, before the advent of Dingleism aud Its brood of cormorant trusts, gotten down to about the coat of constructing ships in foreign yards. While the minority says there are objections to the enure bill agreed on by the commission opposition in withheld by the minority except as to sections which provide fur direct subsidies. The report says these are so obnoxious to democratic principles and to the economic sense of the country that we are compelled fo enter our earnest protest against their enactment into law. The subsidy bill Introduced by tha committee Is declared by the minority to be not as honest as former subsidy measures. disThe minority says tbe bill places the word subsidy with the word 'subvention; and through the with which explanation it ia launched, seeks to create the Impression that It only gives back to tha shipping industry what ia taken from It, or rather that It gives back to American ships what ia taken In increased tonnage taxes from ships of ail nntlivji. But, oa tbs contrary, it places la the treasury the amounts to be received under it as tonnage tax and takes out of tbe treasury tbe appropriations provided for without any reference whatever to the relative amounts taken out and put In without any limitation of the subsidy to tbe amount of, tha tonnage taxes without any sort of limitation of the total fo be paid out of the treasury now or hereafter for the benefit of the merchant .marine. The subject of subvention. In section 2 of the bill; saya tha minority, ia "Ingeniously Introduced by the lunar coated evpmeioa 'in the Interest of the national defense and for the performance of public services.' Will the congress of the United State and the American people suffer themaelvea to be deceived by thia transparent disguise? Public sentiment and the sober Judgment of the peoples representatives have united to condemn every previous effort to enact such legislation, and surely this effort must meet the fate of its predecessor. dl-le- Moscow; Jan. 5 M.
