PACIFIC MAIL SHPS.

SAN FRANCISCO COMMENT,

The following Washington despatch was published in the San Francisco Call on the eve of the Shipping Board's Award of the ships now run by the Pacific Mail Company to the Dollar syndicate :---

"WASHINGTON, March 17th.

The clowing chapters were being written to-day in a battle of giant shipping in- tereats for preferential rights in the awakening Asiatic market.

Officials, of the Dollar and Pacific Mail steamship lines were preparing for the final showdown in the Anancial poker game which will decide ownership of ave President type liners now operated by the latter concern mit of San Francisco

Because the Pacifie Mail is literally, fighting with its back to the wall in the deal, according to many observers, re- latively high bids are expected..

For half a century now the mail Liners bave been steaming cross the Pacife, building up a name which to-day is known as familiarly as the Peninsular and Oriental, the P. & 0" of Rudyard Kipling'e Indian tale

Despite its other lines through the Panama Canal. the Pacific Mall is known largely through its transpacific business, and foxy of the President ships, the back bone of its feet, would be a 'serious blow, because of the relatively slight cost with which Shipping Board liners can be pur- chased as compared with bottoms bought on the open market.

The powerfal Dollar Lins, which re cently shattered precedent and inaagu- vated a regular around the world? freight and Nssenger schedule, with ample financial backing. is admittedly in the stronger position of the two.

The tremendous strides made by this organization in the past few years, due directly to the canny foresight of Capt. Robert Dollar, the 80-year-old Scotch-1 American shipping wizard, have been based largely on Asiatic shipping.

Regards of the group which acquires. control of the vessels, according to "Com- missioner Meyer Lisaner. San Francisco will be the port of call, because of the Shipping Board policy of wiling ships on condition that present sea lanes aro

PERMEATING TRADE UNIONS.

The Communists in their turn, he went on, were following their example, and they had already obtained a larger

than many people thought in per

ciples, and in securing for their repre sentatives key positions in many of the most important, trade unions. For ex andple, Mr. A. J. Cook, secretary of the Miners Federation, one of the most powerfni unions in the country, was a declared Communist. Mr. Purcell, who was chairinan of the Trades Union Con- gress at Hull last autumn, had frequent-1 ly professed his admiration for the Rus- sian révolution, as hail also Mr. Ben Tillett and Mr. Fred Bramley, who was Microtury to the trade union dele- ention recently returned from Russia. Only the other day Mr. Tom Mana, whose enthusiasm for Communism was wellknown, was selected lend of the Cditative Committee of the Trades Councils Conference, which was now actively engaged in promoting unity between British and Russian trade unions. During the existence of the last Labour Government we had two striking examples of the power of the Communisti section of the Labour party. That party professed to be opposed to Commanian, and would not allow the Communist party to be affiliated to it. They did not permit Communists to stand as official Labour candidates, but at the General Election of 1923 nine members of the Com- munist party stood as Labour candi- dates, even of them es oficial Labour enndidates.
