Hy a vote of forty to twenty tho senate today rejected the conference report on the shipping bill to ndmit foreign built ships to American registry and proosing to oen the coastwise Initio to foreign craft. The Iioiho bill wat then adoplcd by tho same vote. It only extends American registry to all foicign built ships. The bill now goes to Presi dent Wilson for approval. It is be lieved be will sign it. Itcstoro TruiiH-Alluutlc Trade The bill enacts into law thu admin istration plan to restore the trnns Allnntie, trade paralyzed by tho Euro pen n war. It is uUo designed to en large the American merchant marine. Already tho Ilnmluirg-Ainerienn line has received proposals for certain of its vessels now in American wntcrs, mid the North German Lloyd lino has announced that it will tell some of its ships. Administration officials expect to 5co many foreign built ships come under the American flag soon after President Wil-on signs the bill. Senator O'flonnnn, in ehnrgo of the bill, expressed amai'.cmcnt over ilcmo- cratio opposition, O'iioriimn's Grilling "Discussion licit today," said he, ''indicates that congress is directing its energies toward tho protection of special intcrcst-4. rather than tho pro motion of general welfare. It amazes me that senators who not long ago eloquently proclaimed the American cnaslwise shipping an of fensive monopoly pcem to find no difficulty today arguing for a result that will bo to porpctuato this mon opoly that has fattened on iin-Anicr-ican principles, I scarcely can be lieve my ccs nud cars, hearing sen ators professing nllcgianco to tho (iciuocrntio creeu. narmmrase the re publican argument for twenty years ii) suppoit of a proteclivo tariff.
