WAGESON SEAS
Crews of New Merchant
Marine are Promised
Bonanzas.

The United States Shipping Board
yesterday announced q new and in
creased wage scale and bonus to ap-
ply to licensed officers Of all American
vessels, and to apply retroactively
from May 4. 1918. the last day OF the
recent marine conference held to con-
slider the supply and training Of sea-
men.
This new scale would make the eyes
Of the old salts pop out Of their heads.
In the old days the master Of Q ves-
sci was paid from $50 to 800 q month,
but, under the new scale, the master
of q hrst-class vessel win recefvs
1915, wages and bonus. II In the coast
ing and South American trade, and
$3.50, wages and bonus, II engaged in
the transatlantic war zone traoe.
The reasons why the Shipping Board
decided to grant the increased rates
Of pay are stated as follows:
/. Increased cost OF living.
2. Corresponding wages on shore.
g. Necessity Of holding officers now
In service and recalling men with
marine experience to the sea.
1. Attracting new men into perma-
nent service in the merchant marine.
s. Pacific Coast wages.
With q shipbuilding program that
is becoming more ambitious every
day the future Of the American mer-
chant marine is daily a matter OF
greater Importance to the country,
and the new wage scale announced
yesterday Is a big step for the fu-
ture. The rate OF pay will be large
enough TO attract the highest class of
young men to the merchant marine
and will build up a race Of sailors
who will class as the gentry OF the
sea.
All classes are to share the big
wages in the same proportion as the
masters OF ships.

u. S. MAY HAVE
new RUSS PLAN
In NEAR FUTURE
President Considers Issuing
Revision of Former
Stand.

A combination Of developments, all
favoring Intervention In Russia by
the entente allies. may force an i'm
mediate modification Of the policy Of
noninterference recently urged by
President Wilson. A decision by
which the United States will either
contribute troops to the proposed ex-
pedition, or re-state opposition to the
movement, Is expected shortly.
It IL now admitted that the pur-
pose of the visit Of Ambassador
Francis to Moscow Is to get first
hand information by which President
Wilson can be guided in determining
Q new course. The announcement
that n. Eouleus, the French Am
bassador, is also en- route to Mos
COW Is believed to indicate that the
American and French diplomatic rep
resentatives are working to the same
purpose.
All information received at the State
Department IL to the effect that con-
ditions within Russia are steadily
growing worse. The latest reports
show that the population OF the
Ukraine Is threatening a widespread
revolt,

nit of such familiar intercourse be-

event be to the advantage Of the
allies, It is held.
At the White House 1t 10 said
President Wilson Is resoIute in his
purpose not to be stamped into a
reversal OF policy.
1t is again said that II is the
Presidents definite purpose not to
take any step that will meet with

questions involved in intervention
will come before the Cabinet to-
day.
