Officials Think Unrest Of

to Agitation.

AGENTS START PROBE
By JOHN l.. MURRAY.

Deliberate agitation to stir up ship
yard labor in the South is suspected by
Shipping Board officials. 1t was learned
last night.
There is a growing dissatisfaction
among the Southern ship workers over
the terms Of the, ShipbuiIding Labor
Adjustment Boards recent wage de-
cision for the South Atlantic and Gulf
coasts. which at first was accepted
without complaint.
The metal trades have sent a petit
tion to Washington for more money, Is
cents an hour for skilled labor and 90
cents for helpers, and this demand
now is under consideration. with vir-
tually no likelihood of serious diff
ficulty. the officials say.
The real menace to the wooden ship
program. of which the South has the
bulk. is among the woodworkers.
whose leader has been in controversy
with the Shipping Board since calling
a strike several weeks ago, and who
intimated there would be shipyard dis
ruption when the American Fedora
ton of Labor rejected his proposal to
change the general union agreement
with the government
Agents of the Shipping Board have
been sent out, it was learned last
night from one of the board officials
with the express purpose OF determin-
ing whether the dangerous agitation
among the Southern woodworkers is
the result of any action by William l..
Hutcheson, president OF the United
Brotherhood Of Carpenters and Joiners
Owing to the fact that the Shipping
Board has severed all negotiations.
and relations as well. with Mr.. Hutch
eson, following his ultimatum to with
hold the much-needed calkers for
wooden ships unless his demands
were granted, and that Mr. Hutcheson
has failed to enlist any word or act
Of the President in an appeal to him
to intervene in the closed-shop con-
troversy. it is the opinion Of govern
ment officials responsible for shipyard
labor that he may be about to use the
lever of labor disgruntled by agitation
to rivive his case.
This opinion. it was emphasized,
takes strength from the fact that
other districts have aecePied cordially
the otheT wage decisions rendered, and
the Southern decision was based on the
representations of the men affected,
granting substantial increases.

If Donald McRae" Was
Casualty Which of Three
Sammies Would He Be?

Three men. each named Dom
aid McRae. are fighting in
France with the American army.
This was one of the reasons
why the Senate Military Com
ittee unanimously decided yes
terday to ask the War Depart
ment the reason for suppressing
the addresses of killed, or
wounded Sammies.
IF one Donald McKae was kill
ed, what anguish the mere men
tion Of his name without an Ad-
dress would bring to the homes
OF all three men," said Senator
New. of Indiana. Trainer of the

Certain to Consider Gov

This Industry.

Congress will take up the consid-
GRAFTON of permanent government
ownership or control of the packing
industry before the present session
ends, according to all indications yes
terday. Information has been receiv-
ed by members of the Senate to the
effect that the Federal Trade Com
mission is to make recommendations
for government ownership of the
packing industry. 1t is understood
that these recommendations will be
made at the conclusion of the pres
ent investigation which the Federal
Trade Commission is conducting.
Henry Veeder, general counsel for
Swift & Co., yesterday filed a pro-
test with Vice President Marshall,
Speaker Clark and other leaders in
Congress against the proposed
amendment to the search warrant
law recently requested by Francis J..
Heney, special investigator for the
Federal Trade Commission. The pur-
pose of the amendments, the pro-
test sets forth, is to legalize such
raids as that recently undertaken by
Heney at the offices of Mr.. Veeder
in Chicago. 1t would make conclu-
SlVe, Ine protest ueClaTeS, InS ue-
cision of a district judge issuing the
search warrant, and bars all appeals
until the purpose of the seizure has
been accomplished.
Veeder points out that the Circuit
Court of Appeals, in his. case, held
void the search warrant under which
his office was raided, yet IL the dis
trict judges decision had been final,
as proposed by the Heney amendment,
Veeder would have been despoiled OF
his papers without redress.
He suggests that il some agent of
the Comptroller OF the Currency were
to assert in an illegal affidavit and
deposition that the money In the larg-
est banks in Chicago and New York
was used as a means for the commits.
sion of various felonies, such as i'm
proper speculation or attempted brib-
cry of a bank examiner, a district
judge, under the proposed amend
ment, could issue a warrant for the
seizure of all the money in the bank
vaults, holding that probable cause
had been found. Thus, without
chance of appeal a government Off.
cial and district judge could disrupt
banking operations of the entire coun-
try for months while even the Su.
preme Court of the United State:
would stand powerless, to give relief
until after trial Of the accused banE
officers.

ton, which was known as the -''flf-
teen per cent case" was filed with
the commission before the roads were
taken over

cite, the Eastern Live Stock-Fresh

coal, coke and iron ore. which have
not increased since June 27, 1917.
may be increased Is per cent where
they do not disturb existing rate
relationships between established
rate groups and differentials. Pc
troleum and grain rates are in
creased Is per cent.
Joint rates class or commodity,
between official classification terri
tory on one hand, and southeastern
territory, the southwest, and points
on or east OF the Mississippi. may be
increased not exceeding the in
crease now allowed.
The commission ordered that in
establishing rates increased by 15
per cent. the existing groupings and
relations may be preserved. even
though by doing so, some rates are
increased slightly more than Is per
cent.
May Preserve Groupings.
The Commission also ordered that
rates from Chicago to New York and
Montreal, and from New York to
Chicago may be increased Is per cent
Such increases may be scaled. to or
from percentage points or groups
upon the established groupings and
percentages.
Established groupings Of points of
departures and destination under
common rates may be preserved even
though the rates are increased slight
ly more than Is per cent. Rates via
the established all-rail differential
lines may be made the same differ
entails under the standard all-rail
rates as now exist.
