Reports thnt the Great I.ulces naval

Uy tho Associated Press
Washington, Jan. 13. -Amendment ;
of the prohibition enforcement act so as
to permit American passenger liners
Hiving in foreign trade to carry nnd sell
llfiuor outside the three-mile limit of
the I'nited States, was urged before the
House Judiciary committee today by
steamship ofllelals, who complnined that
because of present restrictions foreign
rhlns were handling the bulk of travel.
Representative Kdmonds, of Philadel
phia author of the amendment, de
clared that failure to amend the law
would make it Impossible for American
ships to get anything except overflow
travel. ......
"Don't prohibitionists travel?" asked
Representative Igoc.
"I understand they go on ships that
ore not dry, because they want to enjoy
the fun," Mr. I'dmonds replied.
Alfred O. Smith, president mid gen
eral manager of the New York nnd Cuba
Mall Steamship Line, said his company
was placed at a great disadvantage
under prohibition restrictions in com
peting for travel with foreign ships on
which use of liquor was permitted. The
act as it standsfi he added, would force
oil American companies to withdrawn
from thcemigrunt-cnrrylng trade.
Mr. Smith told the committee that
two voxels of his fleet now being re
conditioned probably would be bold
abroad.
"If the present law W continued,
he added, "it will force nearly every
passenger shipowner to transfer his ves
sels to foreign registry."
P. S. A. Franklin, president of the
International Mercantile .Marine, do- .
clared the law as it wan today would '
mean the death of the American flag in
the passenger ship trade ot'thc world.
He said there coulU be no hope of de
yelonlng tho American merchant marine
If the government was to place hard
ships not demanded by other countries.
"It Is a fcerious business problem from
the viewpoint of building and operating
passenger steamers," said Mr. Frank
lin. "The ruling of the attorney gen
eral that liquor cannot be sold at any
time on vessels flying the American flag
might be changed nt any time. Unless
some definite assurance In given I do not
sec how nnibody can deliberately build
American ships. If we are prohibited
from scrv tig liquor, hope of obtaining
business in. competition with foreign
vessels would be impossible."
SEEKS TO KEEP OUT
CANADIAN WHEAT
Washington, Jan. 13. To stop enor
mous Importations of Canadian wheat,"
Senator McCumber, of North Dakota,
announced today that he would ask for
n tariff of probably fifty cents a bushel
on wheat to bo included in the Kordney
emergency tariff bill instead of the duty
of thirty cents carried by the measure
as it passed the House.
The senator's announcement was
made (it hearings on the Fordney meas
ure before tho Senate finance committee.
He charged American mnrkcts had been
glutted by the Canadian wheat and said
that ns there remained more than 100,-
000,000 bushels of Canadian wheat for
export, ho feared ruin of the American
wheat farmer' considering the dlffercr.ee
in the exchange rate between the two
countries.
Senator McCumber said he did not
believe "an import duty of fifty cents a
bushel would "Tmcronse the costs of n
loaf of bread one iota."
Higher tariff'rates on brass nnd cop.
tier were urged today by Edward II,
Burns, of Pittsburgh, representing the
American Brass and Copper titatliticnl
Kxchnnge, of New York, who appeitrul
before the House ways and means com
mittee today. He said foreign competi
tion was increasing on the industry.
A strike of the people who buy things
throughout tho country, Mr. Burns ad
mitted in reply to a question, contrlb-.
uted to the present conditions, causing
his business to be "cut to pieces."
"If ho, it would seem tue gentlemen
here should take account of prices in
the future instead of bolstering up to
the level of present prices," Mr. Young,
Republican, North Dakota, said,
"Our prices are lower, if you arc
criticizing us," Mr. Burns said.
"I don't believe," Mr. Young con
tinued, "that the American people are
going to stand for us to pass a bill that
will keep up present prices."
Boys' "Clubhouse" Burned
Fire which damaged an unoccupied
building nt 28 1U Frankford avenue last
night is believed to have been started
by boys who use tho place as a "clubhouse."
FARMERS HELPING
IDLE MILL HANDS
Produce in Barrel Lots Being
Sont to Philadelphia From
Surplus Stooks
TRAFFIC TROUBLE FOUND
Farmers hundreds of miles from Phil
adelphia, in tho southwestern corner of
the state, have started ft movement to
aid the unemployed textile workers bf
Kensington.
The farmers became interested in
labor during the presidential election,
when they were active in tho Former
Labor party. After the election they
transferred their interest to the work
ers in Philadelphia, and hard been
sending barrels' of trait and produce
hero out of their surplus of farm
products.
Difficulties of getting barrels and ex
pediting transportation have kept down
the flow of eatables from the farm to
the table of tho idlo to some extent, but
the work is organizing rapidly and moro
and more farmers are expected to Join
In it, in other parts of the state as
well as in the locality where the move
ment started.
The distribution is through commit
tees of union men, who know Uie needs
of members of their own loca's. Tho
barrels of produce have been sent to
the Women's Trade Union League, at
1702 Arch street, which has tieen made
the distributing center, Later it Is
hoped to open n special commissary de
partment in Kensington, where thoso
workers who are out of jobs and need
help in supplying the family table cau
get fruit and vegetables fresh from the
fields.

sulted in the arrest of three bartenders
charged with selling lljuors without
