Eaboly alliances between America lines are hampering the development of the American merchant marine, accord. ing to T. "V Conner, chairman at the Faited States Shipping Beard. For the purpose of insaring themselves' prostable freight business, Mr. O'Conner declares that certain American railroads have entered into contracts with foreigh navigation companies whereby American shipals are systemating diverted to their vessels. As the Shipping Board chairman views it, American railroads Are thus placing, formidable barriers the

“Mr. O'Connër cites is an example of what we are, up against the contracts entered into by the Great Northern Rai way and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.. yal Railway with the two leading Japanese steamship lines. According to the Shipping Board chieftain. these ronds have agreements with the Nippon Yusry Kaisha line, which makes its American headquarters in the port of Seattle, "and the Toyo Kisen Raisha line, which sends its vessels out of San Francisco.
Undef, these "agreements. Mr. O'Conner explains, every agrat working for the American railroads in question is solicitor of ofreight business for the Japanese companies. These companies are in direct and daily competition with both American Government-owned and privately owned vessels: There is not an important port in the Far East, and in termediate points, that American-lag ships lo not touch in the course of re- gular services Our boats afford, broadlyį speaking every facility which the Japaness lines offer, both as to rates, zime; and other factors. But the twe great north-western Firunk lines, fiel by contract with the Japanese companies, are required in effect to work against the competing Amèrican merchant marine.
