EXPLAINS MARI WITH BRIT EAGREEMENT I GOVERNMENT New York, Oct. 4—The International Mercantile Marine company asked for and obtained from the British govern- ment in 1903 an agreement for the op- eration of its ships as a protection for American shareholders of an American corporation, P. A &. Franklin, president | of the corporation, today told the United States shipping board. This agreement, called to the attention of the board last March, was declared by the board to be “inimicable” to the up- building of the American merchant ma- rine, in that it appeared to provide that the corporation should not pursue a poli- cy injurious to the British merchant ma- rine or British trade. The shipping board, it was announced by Chairman Lasker, is seeking means to re-establish through existing American companies a merchant marine in this country, and Mr. Franklin was question- ed as to the full meaning of the British agreement. The I M. M., n it was organized, Mr. Franklin said, absorbed several leading British flag lines, including the White Star line with its great occan liners. Its stock, he added, is held al- most entirely by American citizens. The British government, Mr. Franklin asserted, was “deeply concerned” when the I M. . acquired these British com- panies. We were faced with a po ty of that government giving valuable pref- erential concessions to rival British lines, he said. “We went to them,” he added, “and asked for equal favors, and we made the agreement in question with the under- standing that at all times our American flag companies should be exempt from any control the British government might assume over our’ policies or onr busine Had the agreement with Great Britain than one billion dollars worth of manu- |gation to the full. not been made, he added. the Rritish flag i s 8 ships—valuable assets of his corporation TR —would have been subject to coniscation LOPING PROGRAM FOR MINERS' DEMANDS NOT R ARMAMENT CONFERENCE LATER THAN FEBRUARY In all the years it has been in effect. . he said, nothing has ever been done that hington, Oct. i—Three addition-| Indianapolis, Oct. 4—Wage demands|was detrimental to American flag subsi- ations—Belgium, Holland and Por- | of the union coal miners will be made not | diaries. —wero invited by the United | later than next February 14 and mean-| Prior to 1918, the witness said, there < government today to participate| while an agreement, sought by govern-|was a British committee in the executive on of Pacific and Far | ment officials, cannot be made binding |organization of the corporation, but this, questions in connection with the | the union against a strike next spring, it | he added, had been dissolved.
