YEAR FOR OCEAN TRAVEL
By Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Another rec
ord breaking year for ocean travel is
possible if present prospects continue.
While steamship agents at the begin
ming of the year were dubious of the
outlook, their attitude during the last
few weeks has changed and they them
selves were greatly surprised when the
statistics for the first three months of
the year were computed last week.
Instead of the cabin passenger traffic
outward having decreased by thousands,
as many persons supposed, the figures
show a decrease of only 36b from last
year in the first cabins, while the num-
Der of second cabin passengers trav-
cling In that direction was 1929 greater
than last year.
The travel for the week ending last
Saturday was a record breaker for this
time of the year, for the various steam
ships leaving took out ITO more first
class cabin passengers than the ves-
sells carried in the corresponding week
of last year. Incoming liners up to
April brought in GAS more first cabin
passengers than they did during the

GRAND TRUNK BOARD
HAS LIVELY SESSION
CHARGE OF MlSMANAGEMENT
CREATES STIR
Canadian Railway Directors Report
Adopted Only After Excited Dis
cussion and Appeal for
Unity of Interest
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, April 9.-The usual cut
and-d proceedings at meetings or
the Grand Trunk railway of Canada
were varied at todays semi-annual
gathering of the directors of the road
by heated charges of mismanagement
and the report of the board was only
adopted after earnest appeals for unity
of interest for the capitalists credits
had been made.
Sir Charles Rivers Wilson presided
at the meeting and made speech
which lacked the usual optismism and
was taken up mostly In apologizing for
the financially unsatisfactory report,
which an irate shareholder character
lied as q miserable document"
Sir Charles attributed the Grand
Trunks troubles to the recent financial
disturbance, together with the eXcep-
tionally bad harvest in Canada, de-
preston which, he was sorry to say,
still prevails.
He thought this was merely tenn
porary check and hoped that thou
sand miles of the company's portion of
the Grand Trunks line to the Pacific
will have been completed by the end
Of the present year.
1t was proposed to acquire land in
certain districts along the line of the
railroad and bonds would be issued TO
shareholders on preferred terms in or
der to raise the necessar. money.
A. w. Smithers, in seconding the mo-
ton for the adoption of the report,
called for unity so that the credit of
the company would remain unimpaired.
Says Road Has Enemies
He added that there were plenty of
enemies of the road in Canada who
would magnify any differences that
might arise.
This statement brought the share
holders present to their feet with sharp
criticisms of the management of the
company and heated expressions of dis
satisfaction with the expenditures were
heard.
The clamor of the opposing faction
was punctuated with dissenting re-
marks from some of the men present.
One shareholder urged the appoint
ment of a committee at Montreal to
run the railroad, claiming that no bust
ness could be managed effectively at a
distance of 5000 miles
Sir Charles declared this latter pro-
posal to be insane" Prior 10 1852 he
said, they had had taste of manage
ment or mismanagement. by board in
Canada, and as a result the company
had been plunged into terrible financial
straits.
Such a board would be bogus, he as
serted, and the announcement that one
was to be formed would prove deadly
blow to the credit of the company.
