Seeks to Put an End to Alleged Discrimina= tion. Washington, D.C., Aug. 2.--Ship- | ping board representatives will con- fer with British ship owners in Lon- don today in an effort to obtain fair treatment for American merchant vessels in the award of trade privil- eges in foreign ports. In making this announcement the board said Captain Ferris, the district manager at London, had been instructed to make strong representatibns, particu- larly against alleged discrimination in. the awarding of contracts for carrying Egyptian. cotton to British and American ports. It was considéred probable the board would insist its vessels have equal footing with British ships in the awarding of contracts for the transport of all classes of freight, The board is understood to have complained to British shipping lines that American vessels had been denied cargoes of Egyptian cotton al- though in many instances thelr bids were lower than those of British ships which got'the contracts. Captain Ferris is said to have in- structions not only to protect against puch British discrimination but to insist that half of these shipments be carried in American hottoms. In negotiating with the British shipping intercsts, officials here say the beard will probably take the post- tion (hat if ils vessels are not as- sured fair treatment it may be deem- ed advisable to icvoke retalitory measuros as provided for by the Mer- chart Marine Act, refers Lash in Belleville Ordered For Three Young Thieves Detidville, Ont, Aug. 2.---For the firs: time in the ocal police court the ash was ordered fnflicted by Magistrate Masson for theft.
