CLYDE NAVIGATION
BILL READ A SECOND TIME
When the Clyde Navigation Bill came up in the House of Ceramons, for the discussion on second reading, there was no sign of opposition and conse quent speaking on the measure.
Sir Newton Moore said that he understood some objection had been taken to certain clauses in this bill. He was anxious to know why the op- position had been withdrawn.
Mr. J. B. Couper said that since he and others had put their names down in oposition to the bill there had been a conference with the chairman and other members of the Clyde Trust, as the result which an arrangement had been made by which the promoters had agreed to change certain conditions which would have affected the question of stevedoring on the Clyde. He and those who had supported him had ae-

The Cominereial Secretary to M. at Washington reports as Embassy fullows:-
The Shipping Board has been experi- menting with satisfactory results on an apparatus that would allow the use of pulverised coal in oil-fired ships in case oil resources gave out, according to a statement made by the Secretary of the Navy.
The coal, said Mr. Wilbur, coming to the burner, is pulverised by an elec- trie matur right at the face of the Furnace, and the coal dust is blown in as soon as it is pulverised.
