GERMANS DIDN'T GER THE WORST
Abstract of the Contract Issued to Reas

Abstract OF the Contract Issued to Reas-
sure the Public.
Replying to questions on the same
topic in the house of commons today,
the secretary of the admiralty, Mr..
Arnold-FOrster. said the admiralty was
of the opinion that the services of
merchant cruisers should be contin-
ued, if compatible with reasonable ex-
pcnditurc. Such subsidies would not
seriously affect the expenditure on fast
cruisers, whose services could not be
performed by mercantile cruisers. The
governments present arrangements
gave it the pow er of utilizing. in war
time, q certain number of merchant
steamers, and gave it Il lien OH steam
erS now being constructed.
y dispatch from Berlin says that
an abstract of the steamship agree
ment, which has been issued at Ham
burg and Bremen, quiets the suspicion
that the German steamship companies
had gotten the worst of the contra ct
with J. PierpOnt Morgan. Many points
OF the agreement have not yet been
made clear. but, the outlines Of the
contract are explained in the abstract
especially with a view of gaining the
approval of the public with regard to
the action of the Hamburg-American
Steam Packet company and the North
German Lloyd line. This object has
been attained.
The LOkal AnZeiger. from inquiries
made among financiers. reaches the
conclusion that the agreement reas-
sures those who feared that the inde-
pendence and financial future of the
lines was threatened by an alliance
with the syndicate. The Berliner
Tageblatt. referring 10 this subject,
notes that although the independence
of the two German lines is nOminaliy
guaranteed the companies are COM
PEELED to undertake specific obligations
which to a certain extent restrict the
freedom of their actions. The paper
admits, however. that the agreement is,
for the Germans. the choice of the
lesser Of two evils.

SCALES ENDORSED
Another Evidence of AmaIgama.
ted Confidence in Presi-

THEY WERE ALL MADE IN ADVANCE
Yet They Are Agreed to, with "Slight
Alterations" in Less Time
Than Ever Before.

Wheeling, W. Va. April 29.-Yes-
tcrday was busy day for the Anal
gamated association. Two interesting
events occurred. One was the partial
ratification of the wage scale COM
mittee's report. and another was the
return of Thomas II. Flynn, the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor organizer, to renew
his request 10 be allowed the privi-
lege Of replying to President Shaffer's
attack upon the organization of which
Samuel GompcrS is the head. The
convention assembled ut a H. and
ut once took up the report of the
wage committee. Coed progress was
made and before the hour came for
the noon recess over half the scale
had been disposed of.
Slight Alterations in the Wage Scale.
The report of the committee on
president and other officers reports
was then taken up and the conven-
tlOn was still on il when it adjourned
for the day. The official report given
ont 10y the press committee was that
the entire scale as reported by the
wage committee had been ratified
with Il few ''slight alterations" What
the slight alterations were the press
committee refused to diVulge. They
till say. however. IL;lJ on IlC WnOle
the consideration of the report was
harmonious, and that it was the first
time in the history of the convention
that it was disposed of in one day.
This. they said. showed that it was
entirely acceptable to the great ma
jority of the delegates.
Another Victory for ShaGTer.
The ratification of scales is an
other victory for President Shaffer and
his policy. 1t was he who originated
the idea of signing the scales in ad-
vance and had the policy sanctioned
by the executive board. When Objec-
tiOns were raised against the plans
followed lie bore the brunt of the
blame. Consequently the sanction
given the wage committees report
