PUNS SUPERVISION
OF WAR TRAFFIC
A. P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—Tlie crea
tion of a federal board of jurisdiction
over the European war truiiie, similar
to that exercised over the railroads by |
the interstate commerce commission
and the appropriation of a fund of ilft.v
million dollars for the construction of
merchant ships designed for use as
naval auxiliaries are proposed in a new
spring bill drafted after a conference
between McAdoo and Redtteld and sub- i
mitted to Representative Alexander,
hairman of the house merchant marine
committee.
It is said that Alexander approves
he proposed enactment in every re
.(■et and it is therefore probable that
from this draft will be developed the .
Iminlstration shipping measure to
kc the place of the one which fail
d to pass at the last session. The new
ship bill also calls for the establish
ment of a shipping board which will
have complete control over the auxll- ]
iary merchant fleet and will direct
ieir operation and also designate the
trade routes In which they will be
nployed. The fleet will at all times
be subject to the call of the govern
n.ent for war purposes. In the belief
of those who have noted the tenor of
the bill it will probably pass congress
with little opposition.
