"As to the report that the seainen's
bill has thrown 5000 odd men out of
employment the fact is that the company
employs only 600 white men in its entire
fleet under the American flag. or about
500 men, including two vessels under the
British flag, one of which has already
been disposed Of
These figures include all the men en-
ployed on the vessels in the trade to
Central America. and the officers en-
ployed on the vessels in the transpacifc
trade. The latter vessels are manned,
except as to officers, exclusively by Chi
nese. The Chinese crews of these ves-
sells number approximately 1,20O. Thus
the total crews number 1000 men.
Under the new system of operation,
there will be no reduction in the number
OF officers. On the contrary. there will
more likely be an increase in that re-
spect. The Chinese crews will be rep1ac-
ed by white men, in the proportion of
from one-third to one-half the number
of Chinese now carried
~ hus the net result of the change in
respect to the manning of the vessels,
will be a considerable increase in the
number of men employed
AS to the amount of trade which will
be lost to San Francisco and other Pa
cihc coast ports, it is quite evident that
this matter will be determined by the
opening Of the canal, not by the sea-
mems act, The great bulk of Asiatic ex-
ports and imports come from and 90 to
points i'll the eastern states.
"If these goods can be handled more
economically by being placed on board
ship at ports on the Atlantic coast and
shipped through the canal direct to their
destination, they will be so shipped Of
course Were the seamen's act repealed
tomorrow, trade would continue to fol-
low the most economical routes.
"The Panama Canal act, not the sea-
mems act, will determine the future of
commerce on the Pacific ocean. AS a
matter Of fact, X. p Schwerin, vice.

fore a congressional committee in oppo-
sition to that feature of the canal act
which prohibits railroad-owned vessels
from using the new waterway, announc-
ed that the enactment of that provision
would compel the company to go out of
business
IF any further explanation of the
company's course be needed, it may be
found in the fact that it was offered a
good sum for its vessels, and accepted
the offer as a good piece of business.
"As things stand now in the shipping
world, generally high, and in the fact ex-
travagant, figures are being offered for
any kind of bottom Even the proverb-
ial craft with three masts and no bot
tom may command a good figure. In
short, all sorts and conditions of craft
are changing hands in these days, and
the shipping world is in clover up to
its ears.
THE Pacific Mail Company is not to
be blamed for taking advantage of the
opportunity to dispose of its vessels at
prices greatly in excess of their book
value
But the public should beware of the
company's explanation that its action in
this regard is made necessary by the
seamen's act
AS compared with the influence eX-
erted by the Panama Canal and the wars
in Mexico and Europe, the seamen's act
is as a drop in the bucket.
"The opposition to the seamens act is
founded solely upon greed.
"The opposition depends for its effect
iveness solely upon the ignorance of the
people upon all matters relating to mari
time affairs. The shipowners appeal to
the patriotism of the people. They wrap
the flag around themselves and cry

old trick, and very impressive until it is
exposed. Then it becomes merely nau-
seating.
"Ihe shipowners and their supporters
in press and public have always opposed
the seamen's plea for reform, for the
right to a decent mans chance in life.
They have always predicted disaster as
the result of the laws heretofore enact
ed. Their predictions have always PROV
ed false.
"1hey have always been on the point
of going out of business but they al
ways remain in business. The seamen's
act will remain on the statute books of
the United States. Experience under
that measure will add emphasis to the
old saying that history repeats itself )"

"High Prices, Not the Seamen's
LaW, Caused Pacific Mail to Sell"
(By Andrew Furuseth President Inter
national Seamens Union)

(By Andrew Furuseth, President Inter
national Seamen's Union.)
Sacramento, Cal-IIigh prices, and
not the seamen's law, was the cause of
Pacific Mail selling several vessels to
an eastern company, declares President
Furuseth of the International Seamens
union, in defense of this law, publish
ed in the Sacramento Bee.
The seamens executive says, in part
Those who insist upon the repeal of
the seamens act before it shall have be-
come effective show very small under
standing OF human nature and an even
smaller grasp OF the physical law that
motion seeks the line Of least resistance.
The task OF repeal is at best difficult
one. The advocates Of that course have
chosen a method that makes it impossi-
bic of success.
Now that the vessels Of the Pacific
Mail Company have actually been sold,
it is clear to all that the threat Of trans
fer to the Japanese or Chinese flag was
mere bluff. The vessels have been sold
to an American concern, and will con-
tinue to fly the American flag
'As to the trade in which these YES
sells shall hereafter be engaged that
question is still 'on the KEGS of the
gods. Present report has it that certain
vessels will be employed in the transat-
lantic trade, while others will be placed
on the run from New York to San
Francisco. via the Panama Canal

trade between San Francisco and ports

REASON FOR TIMBER STRIKES

New York.-Members of the Inter
national Union of Timber Workers. on
strike in Washington and other north
western States to resist wage reductions
and non-union shop conditions, will be
interested in this statement from the
weekly bulletin of the National City
Bank, 50 Wall street
THE lumber business is suffering
from having been overestimated. The
future value of timber was overdis-
counted. 1t may be worth the values
put upon it to owners who can carry
it long enough but it has not been
worth those values to owners who are
obliged to sell to meet current interest
payments, and there are enough of
the latter to spoil the lumber market
for everybody. The people who have
been prudent and are entirely able
to take. care of themselves have to
suffer along with those directly re-
sponsible and the whole country is
affected, in measure by the depressed
state OF this industry.
Then, again, the greatest evil that
has crept into the lumber industry
has been the bonding of timber and
saw mill properties, and the customary
overcapitalization.
Usually before a mill with bonds
goes bankrupt it sacrifices its stump
age to meet its interest and sinking
fund charges, and this stumpage is gen
orally what is termed the best logging
chance This sacrificing of stumpage at
any price to meet the interest and sink
ing fund charges has been, and is, the
unsolvable problem confronting those
who are interested in the rehabilitation
of this great industry, or necessity
drives and it is difficult for any asso-
citation of lumbermen to talk reason with
lumberinp enterprise which is fighting
for its life"

PREFERENCE TO UNIONISTS

such tribunals. Without organization by

be meaningless and valueless, since there
would be nothing and no one to set the
machinery of arbitration in motion.

Not only must our individual mem

likewise our unions should combine in

sition to act III cooperative manner

union should realize that it cannot gain

which is the state of affairs in your To-

WAR FAILS TO CURB
YACHTING SPIRIT
Sir Charles Allom Praises Ger
mans and English at
Club Dinner.

Sir Charles Allom, rear commodore
Of the Royal London Yacht Club, was
one Of the speakers last night at the
annual dinner of tho Atlantic Yacht
Club, held at Delmonicos. He is the
owner of the crack 15metre racing
cutter Istria. Sir Charles spoke Of the
magnificent sporting spirit of the Ger
man and the British yachtsmen both
before and since the war, and again
when yachtsmen met on the firing line.
Just before the war was declared"
said he, "the German Emperor's yacht
suddenly disappeared from Cowes, but
the Krupp schooner and one owned by
a German-Sanders- at an
Choir. They believed the boats would
be seized and sold when the war was
declared, but we determined they
should not be sold, and they have not
been as yet. When the war is over
have no doubt they will be ready for
those good sportsmen."
Commodore J. Stuart Blackton pre-
sided at the dinner, and the clubs feet
chaplain, the Rev. Nehemiah Boynton,
a regular deep sea sailor, with voice
like a boatswan's mate, was toastmas-
ter. The "sky pilot" as he dubbed HIM
self. told the yachtsmen they ought to
he. Captain Noah was the first yachts
man and Captain Jonah the second, and
perhaps you don't know it, but Lincoln
also was a yachtsman."
Commodore Blackton told his fellow
members that by next year, which
would be the fftieth anniversary Of
TIE clubs formation, II would cele-
brate by wiping out all its floating in
debtedness.

one of the speakers. Others present in
