ence IN Shipping.

washington, Nov. 27.-Both to Great
Britain and Sweden the United states
Government has conveyed the informa-
ton that II will not approve the pro-
posed American overseas trust unless
the plans for that organization are ma
terially changed. This action was taken
by the state Department in response to
informal inquiries from both countries
as to whether this Government would
give unofficial sanction to the scheme.
The main objection OF the United
states lies in the fact that under the
plans for the trust this organization
would he given preferential treatment
over other American shippers.
Another feature OF the plan to which
objection was made called for the crea :
ton OF branch organizations In other
neutral countries over the variations OK
which the British Government, through
access to the books OF the concern. would
have a certain measure OF supervision.
The Swedish Minister. who called to-
DAY on acting Secretary OF state POLK

rartment. Informed Mr.. Polk that his
Government had likewise refused to APP
prove the plan.
II was said at the state Department
that the organizers of the proposed trust.
realizing that they could not hope for
the moral support of the United States
otherwise, has Abandoned the preferen-
tian feature and IL negotiating with the
British Government with a view 10 get
ting exemption from anything like Brit

The details OF the new plan have not
been made known to the Department.

furthermore. that the state Department
would take care to prevent any action
II might take from being construed as
a recognition Of The British order In
council.
The Department Of Commerce, 1t was
explained. had not given It's approval
TO the overseas trust and merely had
stipulated that the plan would be ac-
ccptable only II It did not make for dis
elimination against other American ship
pers. When the promoters OF the trust
sought the Endorsement of Secretary OF
| Commerce Redfeld it was said the latter
was not advised by them that the state
Department had previously passed on
their plans.

Brewery Workers

All OF the breweries in the Denver dis
trict with exception OF Coors at Golden
have renewed contracts with the Brew
cry Workers union upon terms of the
old agreement, which expired May l.,
Negotiations for Il renewal with the
Coors management were delayed owing
to absence OF Adolph Coors, Sr., from the
city, who is expected home this week
The contract will be in effect until the
breweries close operation under the state
prohibition law on January l, l9IC.
The Omaha breweries granted an in
crease OF So week to their employees
last week. Charles Metz conducted the
negotiations for the breweries and John
Raider OF Cincinnati represented the men.
Both sides are to be congratulated for
reaching r basis for settlement with.
out resorting to n strike. Few industries
are granting increases these days. More
than 400 men are affected by the in
creased scale.
The brewers of Washington, ID. c.,
have bonded themselves in the sum of
$25 900 each, it is reported, for the pur-
pose of breaking UP the brewery workers
union This is their gratitude for the
gallant fight that organization has been
making against the spread of prohibit
tory legislation which will eventually
wipe out the entire brewery industry un-
less more co operation is shown between
the workers and the employers.
Brewery employees in Philadelphia
have signed an agreement with their
employers which provides for an in
crease OF 81 week for engineers. fire

other employees secure an eight-hour day.
