INVESTIGATING
CAUSE OF TIE UP
WATER TRAFFIC

Baltimore. Md, Oct. S.--An investiga-
ton OF the causes leading to the tie-up of
the steamboat service OF the Baltimore.
Chesapeake and Atlantic and the Mary
land, Delaware and Virginia railroads
was begun today by Charles j. Fox. chief
OF the Maryland bureau OF statistics and
information.
Mr.. Fox on last Friday offered his SER
vices as mediator in the wage controversy
between the licensed deck officers and the
steamboat managements. The men ac-
cepted but their employers declined.
Mr. Fox summoned a large number Of
witnesses including Capt. William Thom-
son, vice president and general manager
OF the affected companies and Capt. John
c. Silva, national president OF American
Association OF Masters and Pilots. The
findings OF the bureau have no binding
effect upon either party TO the dispute.
Capt. Thomson presented a long state
ment OF the company's position which
was mainly an elaboration OF the points
set forth In his letter last week.
