HIGH PRICES FOR sEAMEN;
 GOOD MEN ARE SCARCE,
Earnings Are Treble What They Were
 Previous to the War.

New York, April 25.-The topmost price ever paid for service on an Amer lean or any other merchant vessel, marine men say. was recorded today with the signing of a crew of an American ship that is to sail through the submarine zone.
 The first mate will get $500 a month; chief engineer, $25O; second mate, S200; first assistant engineer, s20O, and so On down the line to f1remen and coal passers at $60 to $75, with mess boys at s45. But in addition, a war bonus of 100 per cent. is promised doubling the wages-which are to con- hnue until the men are back at the port Of authorization. Also. in event of the ship meeting with disaster, the men are to be transported home, and the sum of $250 for officers and s100 for men will be paid to all who lose their personal effects Earnings of those who follow the sea have been gradually advancing in the past year. until now they are double and treble what they were previous to the war, and, despite this, shippers say good men are scarce.

| Three Ways of Meeting Indebtedness.
 There are three ways, Mir BuckIand said, of meeting the company's in debtedness-by mortgage on the main system; by sale of stocks and bonds Of subordinate companies such as trolley companies and the interest in the Boston and Maine; and thirdly by the issuance of preferred stock. It 1s true that there is no mortgaRs on the main line system, but should a that, with the $45, ,OOO ,OOO in notes. se- curities to the amount Of Szs9.OOO. 900 would have to be protected. With the government issuing great amounts In bonds 1t would be difficult, in the opinion of the company's officers, to float great bond issue on a mortgage basis.
 Bad Time to Sell Stocks and Bonds.
 The stocks and bonds of other com panies must be sold by court order before 1919, and to sell them now would mean that the properties GOV cred by those issues would have to Eo at counter bargain prices, and the losses on investment would have to be met in some way.
 Issue of Preferred Stock Real Solution.
 The real solution fin the opinion Of the company, was to issue preferred stock and thus enhance the vaIr1e rf the common stock by Hquidating the Indebtedness mentioned, and bring nearer that lOng-loOked for day when div1deds may be resumed. Mfr. Buck land was asked as to the value of sub ordinate companies and he said they had a book value of about S12O. O.OOO. .00O. committeeman asked if they would be disposed of at S80, ,00O, 900 and Wr Buckland said that if anyone offered the one who made the offer would not escape.

VIGOROUSLY CHAMPIONED VOL
 uNTEER AMENDMENT
OPPOSED TO PRESIDENT
During His Speech He Shouted There is Precious Little Difference Between conseript and Convict in the Eyes of Missourians.

Washington, April 25-Opposition to the seiective draft reached its climax in the house todoy when Speaker Clark took the floor and in his usual vigor- ous style championed the volunteer amendment favorably reported by the military committee.
 DeplOring that he could not stand by the president. whom he unreserved- speaker pleaded that young men be given an opportunity to offer their services voluntarily.
 ''I protest with all my heart and having the slur of being conscript placed upon the men of Missouri. So far as Missourians are concerned there is precious little difference between a conscript and convict"
 Strong for Volunteers.
 For several years." the speaker said. there has been a systematic effort in congress, in many newspa- pers. by some public speakers and in sundry magazines to belittle, depre- cate and minimize the American vol unteer. I resent such performance in in the name of the brave men who gave us our freedom and who have maintained it-in the name of the VOL unteers who have shed imperishable the American republic. The volun- teer has done most of our fighting"
 Speaker Clark in conclusion an- nounced that his son. Bennett Clark. house parliamentarian, was going in- to the army .in any capacity in which he can be useful. either as an officer or a private
 'T hope and pray said he, that he may go into battle not by the side of the stacker and loafer whom the ad- vocates of this bill say they desire ito reach, but shoulder to shoulder with free men who serve gladly-willingly- to fight for the honor. the safety and the perpetuity of this republic

HEARING ON HIGH PRICES
 OF BITUMINOUs COAL
Purchasing Agents of Coal Carrying
 Railroads Deny Responsibility.


 Washington, April 25.-Purchasing agents of coal-carrying railroads de- nied before the federal trade commis- sion today that they are responsible for the high prices of bituminous coal Some of them charged the ad- vances to the law of supply and de- mand, some to the rush by the public to store coal, and others to the failure of connecting lines to return cars promptly
 Figures showing greatly increased prices for coal, some of them ranging from 50 to 100 per cent, were laid be- fore the commission by the railroad representatives. Several said that the roads by furnishing cars to the mines for transporting their own supply would get the coal at from 50 to 75 cents a ton cheaper.
 New contracts, the witnesses said, to miners, unfavorable federal or cies.
 The New Haven representative said that about 50 per cent of the New Haven's supply of coal was ob- tained through water transportation and the scarcity of vessels caused by so many being diverted from the coastwise trade to transatlantic traffic had made their coal cost go up out of all proportion.
 Today's hearing was the first of a series to continue three days, devoted to the side of the consuming public.

FOREIGN MINISTER BALFoUR
 ISSUES STATEMENT TO PRESS
Says No Effort Will be Made to En- tansIe United States in a Formal Alliance.

Washington April 25.-Complete un- derstanding of Americas attitude in the war-unreserVed cooperation tn the fight of democracy against the German menace without entanglinE po- litical alliances-was expressed by Foreign Minister Balfour, head of the British war commission, in a state ment today to newspaper correspond ents.
 T am told" said Mir. Balfour. that there are some doubling critics who seem to think that the object of the missions of Great Britain and France is to inVeigle the United States out of its traditional policy and to entaugle 1t in a formal alliance, secret or pub lie, with European powers. I cannot imagine any rumor with less fOunda- ton, nor can I imagine any policy SO utterly unnecessary. Our confidence in the assistance which we are going to get from this community is not based upon such considerations as those which arise out of formal treaties"
 The foreign minister's statement was generally regarded as dispOsing finally of suggestions that the United States might be asked to sign a. treaty not to make a separate peace.
 The foreign minister received the newspaper men during the day at the residence where he is entertained as the guest of the nation. He apperaed hearty and vigorous. in spite of his 69 years.

CONTROL OF
 AMERICAN SHIPPING
To be Sought by Council of National Defense and Members of the Ship ping Board.

Washington, April 25.-Legislation to give the government direct control of American shipping will be asked of congress soon, it was learned today after a conference between the ship ping committee of the Council of Ma tiona1 Defense and members of the shipping board. Under the measures to be proposed, the president and the direct the movements of American ships so that they could be operated where most needed
 Within thirty days. it was brought out at the conference the shipping board can put into trans-Atlantic service sixty-dfve thousand additional tons of shipping, comprising 25,OOO tons from the coastwise trade and German vessels now under repair The German ships will be ready for service within less than ten days.
 Within a few days the shipping board will begin to let contracts for a great fleet of wooden ships to be built on the coast and along the larger riv- CTS. Builders of steel ships will be called into conference within a week or so to discuss means of hurrying construction
 It was made clear today that the shipping board does not intend to op- crate any ships if they can be leased or chartered to American concerns.
 The reason the government itself is having wooden vessels constructed, 1t was explained, is because 1t was feared private concerns would not build them. Steel vessels are bringing such high prices there is no need, 1t was said, for the government to have them con- structed. They can be sold as fast as built and many are changing hands several times while on the ways.
 The department of labor announced today a plan for supplying labor to build wooden ships. Within a month the department, according to labor heads will have 10000 workers ready to 20 to shipyards throughout the country.

Hartford, Conn.,, April 25.-A re- ceivership for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad must inevitably follow failure on the part of the issuance of 500, 900 shares of pre- ferred stock at par to meet the roads indebtedness, according to Arthur T.
