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-

O'iioriimn's Grilling
"Discussion licit today," said he,
''indicates that congress is directing
