America's 3id for Pre-eminence
Elicits Great Interest in Lon

(Copyright hy the New York World. Pub

LONDON, July 26. (Special Cables
America's bid for pre-eminence In
trans-Atlantic passenger-carryinj? traf
fis is seen here in the shipping board's
plans for luOO-foot liners. Great in
terest has been elicited in shipping
quarters in this latest development of
Americas giganttc shipbuilding pro
gramme. Although, ship designers prophesy
the day of uper-liners, the big British
shipping interests have practically ve
toed any such plans being pushed for
ward in England. They assert that it
would cost more than twice as much to
build another Aquitania and that what
must be done here in view of the de
creased output of workers and the de
pleted state of Britain's mercantile ma
rine is to build speedy cargo and pas-Henger-carrying
vessels averaging 20.
000 tons. Sir Leo Chiozza Money esti
mates that Great Britain will be more
than 1.000,000 tons short of her ex
pected building; programme this year,
which was to be 2.500,000 tons. Repre
sentatives of shipyard, engine, shop and
found ry trade unions are now in a
meeting here with their employers to
discuss the demands of the employes
for a 44-hour week.
STRIKE FMHEOP CHARGED
CONSPIRACY AGAINST GRAYS
HARBOR SHIPPING ALLEGED.
II. M. Delanty Says Stevedores Re
" fuse to Work on Emergency
Klect Steamers Only.
AP.ERDEEX, Wash., July 26. (Spe
cial.) H. M. Delanty, manager of the
Grays Harbr Stevedore company, open
ly cnarpes a conspiracy aaramst Grays
Harbor in the matter of loading emer
gency fleet steamers. Grays Harbor is
the only port where longshoremen are
striking, and the strike apparently is
directed chiefly against emergency
fleet steamers here, the men making
little or no objection to working on
other vessels. Unless the strike Is ended
it is likely that the harbor mlUs will
lose the loading of 11 emergency" fleet
steamers which are yet to come here
for cargoes, according to present plans. -;
Of eight vessels now in port only two
are working, these being the Carmel
and Makawell. One steamer, the Ho
quiam, upon finding a strike here, left
Grays Harhor for Coos Bay to load.
The emergency fleet eteamers Aiken
and Boxbutte at the Eurekamnd Blagen
mills, are idle. Other idle vessels in
port are the Idaho, Shasta, Daisy and
Raymond.

ROME. July 26. (Special cable.) In
speaking today of the food situational!
Italy, Senator Scaramella Maneti. presi
dent of the Rome' Chamber of Com
merce, who has recently been appoint
ed by the mayor ae a member of the
food commission to fix prices, said to
the World correspondent:
"Italy must further reduce its food
consumption, which through the war
was always less per head than that of
her allies. In spite of three meatless
days per week, when the butcher shops
are closed, there is great scarcity. We
have less than half the livestock cup
ply of 1915.
"It will be necessary for the sjovern
ment to requisition all food held by
bin handlers and big producers, so that
retailers can restock at possible prices.
I L'nder pressure of public Indignation
asrainst ine grreeay pruiueern, oiun
prices were fixed below the prices paid
by retail sellers. As a result many
stores hid thetr poods or eold out rap
idly. They have not been restocked be
cause the wholesalers demand more
than the retail prices fixed by the com
mission. Unless we act promptly we
rruNt soon face famine. AH food m u;.t
again be strictly rationed."
"I am amazed at the privations the
Italians are undergoing;," a Red Cross
official said today, who had Just arrived
from Constantinople and districts in
Jugro-Slavia. Greece and the Balkan
states. I saw far more food not only
in Greece, which was not hit by the
war. but in poor devastated Roumania.
in Macedonia. JuRO-Slavta and In Con
stantinople, where there Is an abun
dance of white bread, meat, sugar and
flour. It seems to me that Italy's allies
are woefully neplectlntr her. and are
driving her into the arms of Germany."
