NEW WAGE SCALE FOR

Adopted Last January.

A new wage scale for navy yard
workers has been agreed upon by the
wage Adjustment Board ind the
presidents Of twenty-five unions now

OF from two to twenty-five per cent
over the scale adopted in January Of
this year. The average is about ten
per cent.
The new scale supercedes that re-

:
alleged to have communicated its sus-
picions to the Navy Department.
where they fell like a bombshell and
led to prompt action.
The first thing done was the issu-
ance of the following order:
THE Exports Administrative Board.
in accordance with requests made by
the Shipping Board and the Navy
Department. has instructed the direc-
tor OF the Bureau of Export Licenses
not TO grant licenses for any proposed
shipments by sailing vessels going
| through the war zone. 1t is, of course,
obvious that steamers can navigate
the war zone with less danger than
slow-sailing craft. and sailing ships, IL
used in safer waters, would to an ex-
tent release steam vessels now used In
| such waters.
THE attention OF shippers is. there
fore. called to the fact that clearance
will be refused sailing vessels destined
TO proceed through the war zone, re-
gardless of the fact that the goods
themselves may have already been
licensed. Licenses will be granted in the
future for shipments to Europe only
! on condition that the foods are to be
shipped by some vessel other than a
sailing vessel The board will revoke
| licenses covering goods to be shipped
through the war zone IL any shippers
attempt to ship them by sailing ves-
sell
Sailing Vessels Driven Out.
The sailing vessel is thus practically
driven from a lucrative trade which
American shipping interests had
counted upon for fat profits. 1t can,
of course, be kept in the South and
Central American trade and the Far
Eastern trade. But the pressure and
demand for transatlantic shipping is
increasing daily. with hitherto un-
heard of sums being offered for any
old kind of a hulk that can be called
a ship. From this bonanza the sail
ing vessel is barred
Ship owners had gone to extremes
in the scramble to put these ships on
the ocean. Anticipated hulls, remi-
niscent OF the days of the supremacy
Of the American clipper on the seven
seas. were drafted for service. Some
: of them had been rotting in harbors
for years; others were doing canal
barge work; some even had been
beached and were falling to pieces of
| the sand. A little nasty repair work
and they were rushed into service to
catch little of the easy money that
seemed guaranteed by the enormous
| ocean rates.
The climax was reached when the
/ old prison ship, Success fully 15C
years old and exhibited in Washing
ton several years ago. was provided
, with engine and propellers and start
ed on a new career on the Atlantic.
But even more curious tales of the
patching up OF broken-down sailing
ships are told. A number OF them
have ventured on the trip across the
ocean and have not been heard from.
They are weeks overdue at their des-
tlnation. These ships are the ones
| which. it is suspected, have been the
unknown and untraceable victims Of
the C-boats.
