NEW WAGE SCALES FOR
 OFFICERS OF STEAMSHIPS

Washington, Dec 29-New wage scales for licensed officers of all steam ships plying from Atlantic and gulf ports were promulgated today by the shipping board effective from Jan. to May 1. They are based on the size of the vessels, which are divided into five classes: are the same as the pres ent rate paid in the coastwise traffic and do not contemplate the payment of bonuses in any form whatever.
 Masters will receive from $30O to $S15 a month, depending on the size of the ship; chief engineers, from s212.50 to saS7.50 first officers and first assistant engineers, Sf81.25 to $206.25; second officers and second as- sistant engineers, $162.50 to s1S1.50: third officers and third assistant en- gineers, $143.15 to s168.75 fourth off, ficers and fourth assistant engineers, s143.75 to $50, and junior engineers, s125.
 The new scale is mandatory on all vessels owned or under acquisition by the s'i'pp:ng board A difference of opinion, however. was said to have arisen among members of the commits sion making the award as to the ex- tent to which the award should be mandatory on other American vessels, inasmuch as the armistice was signed after the agreement for the arbitration of the wage scale was made. Owing to the continued urgent national neces- sity in relation to shipping, however, the board urged that all, private own CTS and operators of vessels not requi- sitioned should pay the scale volun- tarily to promote sta ability of conditions and prevent interruption of traffic.

The papers with out exception emphasize that the cleo ton is not merely great triumph, but a great opportunity fer Lloyd George, as the country insists on the carrying out of vast programme Of social reform. They declare that the governing classes are On trial and, if they fail to satisfy the country. plan ful reckoning awaits them at the next election. which may come sooner than is now apparent.
 In this connection it is pointed out that labor voted largely coalition. in the expectation that a policy agree able to labor would be pursued.

London, Dec. 29-(By The A. P.) A emarkable feature of the elections for he new parliament is the enormous najorities received by the winning ,andidates in many constituencies nd a dearth of very small majorities.
 Under the provisions of the new Tanchise act, every candidate who ails to obtain ne-eighth of the votes siled in his constieuency forfeits his itposit of 150 pounds sterling. More nan 1S0 candidates are victims of this ale.
 II Is difficult to compare the results f this election with that of 1910. ow- hg to the numerous rearrangementS 4 constituencies under the last re- orm act but comparison between he country areas as q whole shows hat London has gone almost solid fer he coalition. Only three independent liberals were returned and the two -aborites returned are both coalition sts.
 The returns in Yorkshire are no less stonishing. Of the 56 members from Yorkshire, 26 are coalition Unionists; S coalition Liberals, two members of he National Democratic party which upports the coalition. are discharged oldiers and sailors representatives; ight Labor members and only one is T independent Liberal
 In Lancashire, the 66 members re- urned do not include a single inde- endent Liberal There are 3S coali- ion Unionists, five Independent Fnionists, eight coalition Liberals, 13 saborites, one socialist and one Ma ionalist.
 Even in Scotland. the number of in lependent Liberals returned can bt umbered on the fingers of one hand
 Coalition leaders claim that the two .rincipal factors that contributed tc heir triumph are the hotes of the wo- uen and soldiers. TtIe former made he majority secure and the soldiers iute, according to one leader. came 2ter as a tidal wave in favor ol lloyd George.
