sisted in the negotiations. The agree
ment was signed by committee OF six
teen, representing employers, employees

Pacific Coast and lake seamen and EN-
ployers, who were not present az the

passers, $50; oilers and water tenders,
s65: boatswains, $40; carpenters, $40.
Overtime pay for cargo work vii! be
figured at so cents an hour and for ship
work az 40 cents. A so per cent bonus
will be paid TO crews entering the war
zone and employers will pay seamen
500 each compensation for loss OF per-
sonal effects when ships are sunk.
Every ship will carry a certain number
Of boys. The number of able-bodied sea-
men will be reduced by increasing the
number Of ordinary seamen in the
crews.
Employers and seamen will unite in
an appeal TO be sent 20 men who have
left the sea, asking them 20 return.
The provost marshal generals Office
will be requested to exempt seamen
from military service on the ground
that the scarcity Of sailors makes the
services of those who follow the sea as
valuable as those OF the men who carry
guns.

Another important case which has
been placed on a special docket to be
taken up this week is one resulting
from the Interstate Commerce Com
missions efforts to compel President
Milton II. Smith to answer questions
regarding the Louisville & Nashville
railroads political activities and con-
tributions. The case grew out ~ the
Senate resolution introduced by SEN
ator Lea. of Tennessee providing for
an investigation of that railroad.
President Smith refused to answer
questions, claiming the commissions
powers were purely statutory, and
that it could not enter into an investi-
CATION of such matters. The commits
sion appealed to the Supreme Court
for the District of Columbia for writ
of mandamus. which was granted.
The railroad president then appealed
the case to this Court.
The work of the Supreme Court
this year will be lightened some by
a law passed by Congress alst year
which permits the Court to determine
whether it will allow appeals to be
made. So far this year about sixty
applications to have cases reviewed
have been received.
