WILL NEED BIG FORCE
TO MAN NEW VESSELS
Ships for Transport Service
Will Require $4,000 OFF,
GERS and Men

Washington Aug. ! by !. " s..
Approximately $4,000 officers and 900
900 men from the navy will be required
to man the 1000 vessels which the United
States shipping board Is building. and
which are to be rushed into commission
as soon as possible. These vessels will
be operated under the direction of the
navy. They will be turned over to The
naval overseas transport service, Of
which Commander Charles Belknap is
the head, as fast as they are commits
stoned.
This service. which now is operating
virtually the entire fleets of the army,
the navy and the shipping board, has
been unusually successful in its work.
Being able to enforce naval discipline,
IL Is getting results which seemed i'm
possible during the early days of the
war when 1t was necessary to make up
crews from the merchants marine who
scoffed at discipline.
Acceptance by the shipping board of
the overseas transport service to operate
it's ships Is high tribute 10 that de-
partment. Gradually the army turned
vessels over to it. and finally the ship
ping board accepted its services on a
small scale.
BY utilizing trained naval crews for
the new fleet there will be AT all times
complete cooperation between the Of
ficers of these vessels and the various
naval escorting fotillas. This will make
very materially for safety In the ship
ment Of supplies across the ocean.

Concerning Rates Of Fare
A supplement statement by arbitrators
on the question of rates of fare follows:
This award increases the maximum
rate in Detroit from forty cents an hour
to forty-eight cents an hour. The in
crease Ia substantial. but required by
the increased cost of living, and is fair
Other changes in working conditions
more favorable to the men will normally
add to the wage cost. The fares allowed
to the Detroit Railway are exceptionally
low, being three cents a passenger on
some lines. four cents on others and five
cents on others. They should all be
raised to meet the increased operating
cost due to the high prices of needed
material and equipment and the in
