"The general tenor of individual ex pression is in hearty accord with these resolutions. "The various Individual expressions are unanimous in one respect, at least, and thaj. is as to the imperative ne cessity that exists for an improvement to be made in the prevailing conditions surrounding the-merchant marine sit uation. "There is unquestionably a strong sentiment in favor of the plan propos ing the appointment of a Federal ship ping commission, to be composed of individuals whose experience and train ing would qualify them for a complete investigation of the complex situation now existing as a result of the pres ent laws and for the draft of a new code that will have the purpose of ac complishing permanent relief and the Improvement of the merchant marine industry of the country.

Much to her surprise and consterna tion, the stony-hearted Pullman con ductor said that , the dog would have to ride in the baggage car ahead.
