BRITISH MERCHANT MARINE. A Discussion ol Subsidies in the House of Lords. (By the Associated Press.) London, July 8. —Lord Brassey (Lib eral) initiated a discussion on naval af fairs in the House of Lords today, during the course of which he deplored the fact that Great Britain had lost the place she once held with her mercantile ma rine. The question of subsidies, he thought, must depend on the action of the other powers. All the naval powers of Europe gave liberal subsidies, while President Roosevelt and former Secre tary Gage had recommended this policy. It was contrary to British policy to fos ter industries by bounties of protection but to pay for a reserve of auxiliary vessels was certainly advantageous. Lord Selborn, the first Lord of the Ad miralty, in the course of a reply, referred to the Atlantic shipping combine. The government disclaimed any sort of jeal ousy of the intention of the Americans hero. They had an American marine of their own and they had a perfect right to a full share of the Atlantic trade. The attitude of the government was not one of hostility, but of anxiety. It would never do to rely in time of war on mer chant ships of other nations for the pur pose of British carrying trade. Great Britain had fallen behind in regard to vessels of high speed because she had not given heavy subsidies like other na tions. The of so large a subsidy policy was so insidious that in his opinion the subsidizing of commercial corpora tions should and must be confined to a limited number and for a complete and definite purpose.

DEFENSE FUND FOB STRIKERS All Orgarrzed Labor to be Asked to Contribute.- AND THE PUBLIC AS WELL The Latest Scheme Developed to Aid the Miners. THE UNION WILL EXHAUST ITS OWN FUNDS Afterwards the Strikers' Necessities Will bi Supplied Frem This Reserve. The Plan Has the Approval ot President Scmuel G-mpers (By the Associated Tress.) Wilkesbarre, Pa., July B.—A national defense fund to which all organized la bor and the public in general will be asked to contribute is the latest propo sition placed on foot to help the strik ing anthracite coal miners if they need assistance in their struggle for higher wages and a shorter work day. Harry Y\ hitc, of New York, secretary of the National Garment Workers and a mem ber of the Conciliation Committee of tho National Civic Federation, held a long conference with President Mitchell to day during which the plan was approved by the miners’ chief and Mr. White will at once begin preparations to carry out the plan. President Mitchell wants it understood, however, that (he miners’ union will accept no aid until their own resources are exhausted. Mr. White came here authorized by several labor organi zations. Mr. White says: “Mr. Mitchell says that before solicit ing outside support the miners at work must set the example themselves by con tributing a considerable portion of their earnings to sustain their fellow mem bers in the hard coal fields, who are fighting their (battles. It will be de termined at the Indianapolis convention. “Efforts will also be made to origi nate a movement throughout the coun try that the unions and others may be prepared to collect fuatis when ihe time is propitious. “Publtfe men will also undertake an in dependent movement and receive sub scriptions from those not connected with labor organizations. This movement will be inaugurated in New York city and the labor organizations and sympathizers in all tho principal cities of the country will be called cm to appoint committees to carry on similar work. “All friendly newspapers wil be asked to co-operate. The scheme, in brief, con templates the concentration of the energy and resources of organized labor in be half o! tho miners’ cause, a result which has never before been achieved. It in volves the raising of a given amount of money each week with which provisions and other necessities of life will be pur chased. The plan has the approval of President Samuel Gompers. “The entire plan is contingent upon the Indianapolis Convention of Tin- Workers voting down a motion for a general strike, a • tk ‘ (-c n t, the aid which the soft coal miners would be able to render would be cut off, as it would be out of the question to try to maintain tho vast number of people who would be involved. “The operators arc counting open the means of the miners soon becoming ex hausted and when it is demonstrated to them that the funds will be forthcoming to prolong the contest Indefinitely, if need be the situation will be changed materially.” Personally Mr. White disapproves of the general suspension order of mining as well as of sympathetic strikes in gen eral.
