HBAD OF SEAMEN’S
UNION OPPOSES ALL
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Andrew Kumscth, President of tin*
International Seamen’s Union, is
a believer in the private ownership
and operation of ships. His testi
mony given before tin* Senate com
mittee which conducted the hearings
»>n United States Shipping Hoard leg
islation would indicate that in* is
not friendly to tin* principle of gov
ernment conduct of business.
Tho following is taken from the
•fund of the hearing.'
Senator Chamberlain: Bo you
prefer private ownership to govern
ment ownership ?
Mr. Furuseth:— 1 prefer private
ownership, for this reason; l have
found that government ownership
of material or of appliances usually
means government ownership of
men.
Senator Nelson: Yes .
Mr. Furuseth: And it carries
with it then a semi-slavery, which
1 do not believe in. If we can get
conditions in employment where
you do not need that, and where
♦hat does not need to be the case.
Liiat is a different proposition. But
I do not know much about anything
else except the sea. And so far as
seamen are concerned, I think it
is better for the nation and better
for the ship owner, and better for
the seamen and better foi the future
to make the ship owner free, to make
the seamen free, t<> put them under
certain obligations and enforce those
obligations against either of them
hut to make them free.
Senator Nelson: You could have
the government continue to operate
the ship?
Mr. Furuseth: I &v get the gov
ernment out of the business as soon
as you consistently can.
Chairman Jones: Would you have
our ships disposed of with the idea
of getting them ultimately into pri
vate hands ?
Mr. Furuseth: Exactly.

V DM I It A L WHO
LAID BARRAGE
BLAMES SIMS
WASHINGTON, May 1— When
the United States entered the war
there was no shortage in the supply
of Oidanancc, Rear Admiral Strauss,
former Chief of Ordanance , told the
Senate National Committee. He said
that as soon as war started the Unit
ed States began to lay in huge sup
plies of ordinance.
Rear Admiral Strauss declared
the Navy was entitled to full credit
for the splendid part it took in the
war. That there was no North Sea
mine barrage he laid to the failure of
Admiral Sims to approve the scheme
before the British Admiralty when it
was first suggested by Washington.
Admiral Strauss had command of
the work of laying the barrage,
most of which was done by the Am
erican Navy.
