ment by Senator Penr0se on Monday,
on the ground that II was general leg
islation attached TO an appropriation

wines and sale OF wines and distilled
liquors after December 81.

The members OF the upper branch OF
Congress have tried TO dodge a show
down on the question for years, but

ord on this Issue.

Sinkings Decrease,
Despite Spies Work

LONDON, July S.-Lord Beresford,
calling attention to the danger from
uninterncd aliens and expressing the
belief that many ships have been tor
pedoed through information furnished
by spies, said to-day that month ago
the British, Allied and neutral tonnage
sunk amounted approximately to $4,000
daily.
A fortnight ago, he said, it was 400
tons daily and last week 1900 tons
daily. These, he declared, were salts
factory figures, and the spies would be
completely beaten when the British
and Americans get their large fleets of
destroyers on the water.
The great body Of the English nation
fails to realize how near England came
to irretrievable disaster because of the
German U-boats, said Frederick George
Kellaway, secretary to the Minister Of
Munitions, speaking at Midlands to-
day.
Thanks to the navy, our losses are
being brought to within limits which
the Allies can bear without finching,'
he added. Recent returns show the
loss of munition ships from submarine
warfare are only about a quarter OF
what they were when the U-boat cam
paign was at its height.
There have been weeks recently
when the Germans failed to sink sim
ole ton Of munitions"

Sea Wages in Dispute
AS War Bonuses Stop

An official of marine workers.
union said yesterday that the refusal
Of firemen and coal passers on trans
port to put to sea on Saturday because
war zone bonuses had been denied to
them. might reopen the entire seamen's
wage question. 1t was added the fire
room squad of the transport had been
directed by their unions to do nothing
to hinder the sailing of the ship, but
to go back to work and trust to the
unions to settle the difficulty.
For several weeks union represen-
tativcs of deck and engine room men
have been working with Shipping
Board officials to fix new wage scale.
An agreement, effective July /, was
understood to provide for an increase
in pay with bonus of so per cent Of
the monthly wage for passage through
the war zone.
Transport officials here were notified
last week by Major General Goethals,
Of the Army Transport Service, that
bonuses to men employed on vessels in
this service had been stopped.
Labor leaders said that if PAYMENT
of bonuses were not resumed more
than 5000 men in this district would
suffer the loss of about one-third of
their monthly income. The aggreeate e
loss it was said, would be about S240.
600 month.
