Adv. BRITISH LINE HEAD FOR D. S. MARINE BOARD Opposition to John A. Donald Whose Ships Are Manned By Chinamen In Violation of British Law.

Washington, CL Feb. t. Shall the president of a British steamship Una who employs on his ships Chinamen in violation of the British law, and who was active in opposing the passage of the La Follett seamen's law, be confirmed as a member of the new United States shipping board, which will have charge of the enforcement of the laws relative to the American merchant marine? This is the question facing the U. S. senate, since Representative William S.

Sennet of New York, exposed on the floor of the House the financial connections of John A Donald of New York, one of the five men named for the U. 8. shipping board. "I wae not here In the sixty-third congress," said Representative Bennet to the House, "when they passed the shipping bill, but I understand that bill provides" a literacy test for seamen, and that the purpose was to take the Chinese and other foreigners who could not speak English off our ships. "John A.

Donald is the greatest rep-resntative of the opposite view who runs ships In ana out of New Tork harbor. On every one of his seven ships every possible place that can be filled by a Chinaman, Is filled by a Chinaman. 'Further than that the British have a literacy test In their law somewhat along the same 1 lne as ours, with this exception: that it shall not apply to subjects of Greet Britain. Therefore every man on John A. Donald's seven ships, every Chinaman, has to certify that he is a native of the Island of Hongkong.

It Is a polite fiction, and John A. Donald unquestionably la running British ships manned by Chinamen who are on them. In violation of British law." Bennet outlined other facts in reference to a navy department scandal, with which he charged Donald was connected. Donald, he said. Is president of a company manufacturing anti-foullng paint which with one oouar-etitor en-Joyel a monopoly on such paint used in the IT.
