The football game between the Uni
versity of "Washington and "Multnomah
Club this afternoon will be the closest and
hardest-fought gridiron battle of the sea
son. Washington has made -a name this
year for heavy line plunging and tackle
plays that will take Multnomah's strong
est defensive work to stop. They are
equally sure on the defense, though the
fierce plays Multnomah has been directing
Just outside of the tackles all season may
gain much ground. Multnomah has been
defeated so seldom on the home field that
however strong Washington may be there
Is little anticipation of defeat in this
game, not even as much as there was
about the Oregon game, and Washington
Is stronger than Oregon. But the Mult
nomah players aro looking forward to a
stiff game. Captain McMillan expressed
the following opinion jesterday:
"Washington Is very powerful this year.
Like Oregon the team has had hard luck
In all former contests with the club, hav
ing been defeated in the three previous
games, but they have never made so good
a showing in the Airller games as this
year. I have great confidence in my team,
but Washington is worthy of their best
efforts. The game will be a hard fight
through both halves, probably the hard
est cf the season, and I am not at all
overconfident, though I have enough confi
dence In my team to be very hopeful. In
spite of Washington's crack record."
The Multnomah team, which has under
gone so many changes since the begin
ning of the season, will line-up in a some
what different order today from any of the
previous games. Cook will not play, and
his loss to the team as punter and In line
plunging will be felt. Dolph will take
his place as fullback and though he has
not punted much this season, he Is heavy
and bucks the line hard. Chester Mur
phy is also not expected to play and in
him anothec good punter is lost. Johnson
will play quarter instead. He has not
had the experience of Murphy, but he has
a cool head, and the team work, will not
be harmed by the change, though Mur
phy's quarterback runs and defensive
playing will be missed. McMillan or Ker
rigan and Corbett will fill the halfback
positions as usual and the line will not be
changed. Horan Is now a fixture at tackle
and Van Voorhls Is playing guard.
Washington has the reputation of hav
ing an impregnable line, and the back
field is fast. Sigrist and MacDonald are
two of the cleverest tackles on the Coast,
and the way football has been played
this year the tackles are the most import
ant positions on the team. The ends are
reported by the Qregon men as not being
up to the general standard of the team,
being especially slow In getting down on
punts, and If this Judgment Is correct,
here Is the only weakness on the whole
Washington eleven. A personnel of the
Washington line-up with "the w eights was
given yesterday by Coach Knight.
Left end, William Hill, weight 150, held
the same position last year. He comes
from a family who have supplied "many
plaers to the Washington team.
Left tackle, S. F. Sigrist, weight 160, last
ear tackle on the Ohio State University
eleven. He Is one of the two or three
best men on the team.
Left guard, Dan Pullen, weight 17G. He
Is a crew man and comparatively new at
the game.
Center, Owen Crlm, weight 175, formerly
guard on the Drake University team, of
Des Moines, la.
Right guard, Louis Shearer, weight 193,
center last 5 ear. He Is a heavyweight,
and braces the center of the line.
Right tackle, Tom MacDonald, weight
150. MacDonald is a gymnast and has
not an ounce to spare. The wonderful
game he has put up this year has sur
prised his coaches In a new man.
Right end, C. Ormond, weight 1C5, a new
man, who has only played in the lalt two
games. He has the making of a fast end.
Quarterback, William Speldel, weight
1GS. Speldel has distinguished himself In
every game he has played this season,
and so far he has lead his men through
every game successfully.
Left half Enoch Bagshaw, weight 150, a
light Irian but quick on his feet, and re
markably fierce In line plunging for a
light man.
Right half, Alfred Strauss, weight 17C, a
larger man than Bagshaw, but not so ac
tive. Fullback,Cllnton Lantz, weight 165, and
Fred McElmon, weight 150. Coach Knight
says there Is no choice between them.
Consequently he plays them both in each
game, changing them between the halves.
Coach Knight is an old Princeton man
and played with the Tigers In 1S95. Later
he played on the Chicago A. C. team and
in 1901 with Ann Arbor.
The matter of the officials has finally
been settled to the satisfaction of both
captains. Bruce Shorts, formerly of the
University of Michigan, now teacher and
football coach at the Seattle High School,
will umpire. Charley MacDonald, of the
Multnomah Club, will be the referee. By
a special arrangement MacDonald is also
to have a voice In the umpire's decisions.
The game w 111 be called at 3 o'clock this
afternoon at Multnomah Field.

NO PROTECTION NEEDED
MISTAKES OF NEW ENGLANDER
REGARDING SHIR SUBSIDIES.
DIngley BILL. Rebates Offer No Relief
From Steel Trust Extortion
On Shipbuilding Material.
BOSTON, Nov. 25. (To the Editor.)
Tour reply to my letter on the merchant
marine, contains, with much profitless
vituperation of New England, the rich. I
and the Republican protUve tariff, some j
serious errors of fact which ought hot to
go uncorrected.
Tou say (1) that "our 'solvent yards
are today building warships for some of
the greatest nations on the face of tho
earth, and they are building them cheaper
than other nations can build them, al
though In securing material they must
pay imnfense tribute to the protected
steel trust" this, by the way of sustain
ing -your plea that "American ships need
no protection." Presumably you refer to

structed by the Cramps and the two Jap
anese cruisers, one built by the Cramps,

clsco , , forelrrn warshlDS now
under construction In this country are a
small Turkish cruiser and a couple of
Mexican gunboats and Turkey and Mexi
co can scarcely be reckoned among "the
i greatest nations on the face of the earth."
The truth is that Russia and Japan
placed these contracts here for the simple
reason that they were' enlarging their
fleets so rapidly that the new craft could
not be built at home, and because there

milrA ftT vnttTMBPlf tntnflidaaMrpiimofnnftAa
you will find the results Illuminating. '
Now as to the steel trusts as an obstacle
to American shlDbulldlng. You do not
know, apparently, of that tariff provision,
ln force since 1E90. allowing a full rebate
on all materials for the construction and
equipment of .vessels for the deep-sea
trade, or for foreign owners. I would re-
fer you to sections 12, 12 and 14 of the free
list of the present DIngley law. And It Is
useless to say that this Is so bound up In
red tape that it Is not effective It is
simple and easy of appllcatlon-so testify
the builders who have Invoked the clause,
Under this authority foreign materials
have been worked into the new deep-sea
steamships on the Delaware. Yet a dozen
j ears of "free material" have not checked
the decline of American ocean tonnage,
for the simple reason that, after all, the
chief obstacle Is not the high cost of
building American ships but the qost of
manning and maintaining them after they
are built in competition with the cheap
wage, often-subsidized ships of Europe
and Asia. '
American ships need no protection, you
say, and for proof you cite the fleet and
example of the late Arthur Sewall, of
Maine: Now it happens that to the day
of his death, Mr. Sewall, -though a Demo
crat, was an ardent believer ln and cham
pion of protection to American shlp-
Iplng. The house whrah now owns the
Sewall tleet ana bears his name believes
that subsidy or some other expedient Is
absolutely Indispensable If American
ocean shipping Is to be saved from the
ruin which overhangs it. One of the j
newest oi uno oewau sieei neet, tne
superb William P. Frye, has been laid
up at San Francisco because of the com
petition of the cheap British "tramps"
and the French subsidized sailing vessels
that are killing our shipping on the Pa
cific Coast. At home ln Bath, the Sewall
shipyard ha? lately launched a steel coast
wise schooner, and has no deep-sea keel
In sleht and. indeed, for more than two
years no .such keel has been laid in any j
shipyard ln America. And yet you say
that "American ships need no protection!"
In your third point j ou are equally mis
taken. Urging a "free-ship" policy, you
declare "that a million tons of foreign
shipping would fly the American flag to
morrow if Congress would repeal the an
tiquated shipping laws and permit these
vessels to hail from the ports where they
are owned." Out of the 1,100,000 tons of
shipping controlled by the Morgan "com
fn" rtrkn thrt nfnrM rw
! "J? LT8 S
bine." a little more than 100,000 torts is
I But the idea that this million tons of
foreign shipping "would fly the American
flag tomorrow, if Congress would repeal
the antiquated shipping laws," is utterly
mistaken. For Mr. Morgan has bound
himself In a 20-year contract with the
British government to keep all these ves
sels and their successors British, to officer
and chiefly man them with British sub
jects, and to hold them available as a
part of the royal naval reserve. The con
sent of the president of the British Board
of Trade is essential to the transfer of
these vesseds to another flag and Mt Is
well understood that no such consent
would be forthcoming. I refer you to the
formal contracts between the British gov
ernment and the International Mercantile
Marine and Cunard Companies, as pub
lished by our Department of Commerce
and Labor. And as bearing on the "free
ship" question, I would remind you that
, -nuiov. nn ron cumi. Mm
pani whose tonnage jou speak of as
inconsiderable, actually own fleets greater
than the entire registered steam marine
of the United States. Moreover, Germany
requires that her subsidized steamships
shall be constructed in German yards, of
German materials, by German workmen.
And the British government stipulates
that the new Cunard ships shall be "built
In the United Kingdom." In other words,
both of these nations frankly recognize' i
the need of fostering native shipbuilding
and navigation.
In this country, you seem to believe that
this is a New England idea, and therefore
nr0t.r consideration y e " the
United States. But I would remind you
that within a few weeks earnest resolu
tions demanding some form of protection
and encouragement for American ship
ping have been adopted In the inland
cities of Milwaukee, Denver and Omaha,
while within a few dajs a formal decla
ration for subsidies has gone out from the
merchants of your own Coast city of
Seattle. Moreover, utterances of men

clearlr tf he Paction of the Amerl-

f0r the benefit of a few millionaire ship-
fac.m.tles-'''owners. The Oregonlan Indulged In no
' "Profitless vituperation of New England,
t8 rlch and the Republican protective
tariff" and It made no "errors of fact."
The shipping problem In practice as well
, theory Is ever before us. and Its Drac-
tlcal workings are so plain out here whero
shIP8 are bought, sold and chartered, that
' errors regaraing tne suosiay mauer couia
be attributed only to an ignorance lmpos-

' 1A country. Admitting that the new
craft could not be built at home within
i the time limit, what was the matter with
j the British and German yards, which, at
i the UmQ q contracts were let, were
looklnc. ln valn for new contracts to take
l?0 m vn ror neJ contracts to tane
6 place of those which were vanishing
before the world-wide slump In freights
i and shipping values?
The nearest approach to the truth re
garding the letting of these contracts Is
ln the sentence where "New Englander"
says: "There are very few yards any
where in the world where first-class naval
tonnage can be constructed." The Ore
gonlan has always contended that we had
facilities for turning out ships equal to
any that could be built anywhere else
lq. the world. It was these superior fa
cilities that brought these contracts here
and that enabled Mr. Hill to build the
largest ships the world ever saw at a
.New England yard. It Is a marked con
cession from a subsidy advocate "to admit
that we have even a shipyard In America,
although evidence to that effect has been
supplied In abundance by Messrs. Schwab,
Dresser, Nlxon, et al. "New Englander"
resorts to a very cheap form of evasion
and subterfuge ln defending the steel
trust, and the effect it has on American
shipbuilding. The ship subsidy bill, which
Is the subject under discussion, has no
bearing whatever on foreign warships,
but for the enlightenment of "New Eng
lander" anent his allusion tb the steel
trust. It may be said that that gigantic
monopoly which In 1902 confessed to
prpflts of $150,000,000 Is so well protected
that it controls the steel trade of the
world and makes Its own prices, and the
"rebate" alluded to never attracts foreign
steel to this country. "
"New Englander" made the plea that
the shipping subsidy should be granted
because steel and other American indus
tries had been afforded protection by the
Government. This protection has given
e steel monopoly such power that low-
Bcd steel for ship building Is unobtala-
Bottom row: Tlbbals,
'e-
able, and the foreign manufacturer who
dares to ship to this country would soon
realize the folly of antagonizing the
greatest corporation the world ever saw.
The Oregonlan Is familiar with the sec
tions of the DIngley bill referred to. In
stating that "It is useless to say that this
is so bound up in red tape that its not
effective," "New Englander" makes another
serious "error of fact." All of the benefit
that the American shipbuilder might se
cure from this sectlsn Is nullified by the
following proviso which It contains: "But
vessels receiving the benefit of this sec
tion shall not be allowed to engage In the
coastwise trade of the United States more
than two months In any one year except
upon the payment to the United States of
the duties of which a rebate is herein
allowed." This innocent provision, of
course, is not red tape. The American
capitalist would be delighted to put his
money into a ship that he could not use
in American trade more than two months
In the year without paying tribute to the
' steel trust.
The force of this proviso Is especially
noticeable at this time when the coast
wise navigation laws are to be extended
to Include the Hawaiian and Philippine
Islands. As no sailing ship and but few
, steamers could make a round trip from
I 4U .. e- , n..... i
two months, American ships which failed
to pay tribute to the steel trust could
not ply in this rich field for trade.
The cost of manning and maintaining
shlpB is not the chief obstacle Ink the way
of the American merchant marine. The
crews are shipped at "going wages" In
whatever part of the world the vessel
j happens to bo m when Bhe needs men
.. .,, avfT ,. oar
Within the past 90 days crews have, been
shipped in Portland for British, German,
American, Austrian, Italian and French
vessels and the wages were 'exactly the
- sr-s r
Americans that can be 'found on the
American lino steamers out of New York,
and those who' claim allegiance to the
Stars and Stripes work for the same
wages they received when the vessels
were sailing under the British flag. The
views of the "late Mr. Sewall on the sub
sidy are not now obtainable. The facts
as to what he accomplished without
the aid of a subsidy are still
in evidence. "New Englander's" men
tion of the ship W. P. Frye
is opportune. He attributes her present
idleness to the competition of the "cheap
British tramps and the French subsidized
sailing vessels that are killing our ship
ping on the. Pacific Coast" The natural
Inference drawn from the foregoing
would be that the W. P. Frye was the
only ship suffering from the present de
pression ln San Francisco, and that the
French an British vessels were all en
gaged. Here are the facts ln the case:
There aro now lying Idle ln San Fran-,
Cisco 43 British, five French, four Ger
man and one American ship of the 100
A. I. class. The British merchant marine
Is six times as large as that of America
exclusive of the lake craft ln this country,
and yet there are 43 times as many Idle
British ships In San Francisco as there
are Americans. The merchant marine
of France Is 30 per cent smaller than that
of the United States, and yet there are
five idle French ships ln San Francisco
compared with one on the American flag.
The W P. Fryo has been idle in San
Francisco hut 3& months, while many of
the British ships have been lying Idle
here for 12 months to 18 months.
The tonnage situation on the Pacific Coast
at the present time Is the weakest argu
ment ever offered ln favor of the ship
subsidy. The world has an oversupply
of ships, and untllthe demand overtakes
the supply on catches up with It, the
yards at Bath as well as on the Clyde
and at Stettin will not be very busy,
subsidy or no subsidy. "New Englander"
makes the mistake of assuming that Mr.
Morgan owns all of the foreign shipping
not now under the American flag. Out
here on the Pacific Coast there is quite
a large fleet of foreign vessels wblch the
owners would like to place under the
American flag, and the same Is true in
other ports. The amount which could
be secured for American registry In the
aggregate would probably exceed a mil
lion tons ln a very short time.
More subterfuge Is noted In "New Eng
lander's" allusion to the British and Ger
man subsidized companies. The Oregonlan
did not speak of the tonnage of these
great companies, as being "lnconslder-
McElmon, Pullen, Scherer, Lantz, Captain
able." We did state that the "subsidized"
tonnage of these companies was small,
and the statement Is correct, and within
the past month the director-general of
one of the greatest of these companies
publicly opposed the subsidy sstem, and
said it had proven a failure wherever
tried. Mr. Hill, owner of the mammoth
freighters now nearlng completion at New
London, Conn., is opposed to the subsidy
and has stated emnhatlpjillv thnf it win
ana nas siaiea empnaticauy tnat It will
be Impossible to build up a merchant
marlne by any such methods. Like all
practical transportation men, however, he
asks for the repeal of our ancient naviga
tion laws in order that he may meet the
competition of the world on even terms.
The Oregonlan does not believe that the
subsidy scheme Is a New England Idea,
exclusively. Wherever something can be
secured for nothing, men will be found to
accept it, and they will go to great length
to make catspaws of well-mqanlng but
uninformed persons with Influence. No
section, unfortunately, has a monopoly
of desire toward the Government Treas
ury. The commercial bodies of Denver,
Omaha, Milwaukee and Seattle have only
a superficial knowledge of the shipping
business, although the latter port Is on
tidewater. There are quite a number
of shipowners around Seattle who would
like a share of the swag, 'and they have
undoubtedly used due diligence ln present
ing their side of the story. The disin
terested persons who assisted in passing
resolutions asking for something that was
not needed did so because they did not
know any better. With big fleets of idle
ships of all flags lying Idle in every port
on the Pacific Coast and rates to any part
of the world at the lowest figures on
record, the average Pacific Coast man
faljs to see the necessity for paying
$150,000,000 to a few millionaires to engagt
in a business that Is already overdone.
