Shipping Board Official

The fact that the United States Ship
ping Board is prepared to extend every
possible aid to American business and
shipping interests in their efforts to
secure great world trade was dis
closed yesterday by A. E. Clegg, assist
ant director of the division of oper-
tons Of the United States Shipping
Board
Mr.. Clegg, who is head of all the
activities of his department in this city,
was asked by a Tribune representative
to explain the meaning sof the tele-
gram made public yesterday, in which
}. II. Rossoter, director of operations
IN Washington, said the division of
operations was prepared TO name
freight rates for all overseas trade
and for foreign markets.
Nh. ClegS said: at is very evident
from Mr.. Kosseters telegram that his
idea is to encourage future business
Tor manufacturers and exporters and
protect them where their business
requires a future commitment in the
way OF freight rate, even though the
cargo on which the rate will apply will
not move for several months ahead"
Move an Innovation
Asked to explain that part Of the
telegram which is worded "also will
make forward quotation over the en-
tire year when circumstances warrant
Mr. Clegg observed: II take his wording
to mean that he very naturally wishes
to fit such considerable departure
from present methods into the gen.
eral shipping situation, as far as Amer
ican tonnage is concerned and as far
as consistently can be done.
He evidently believes" continued
Mr.. Clegg, that he can afford protection
to shippers desiring to send cargoes
from one point to another, even though
the port of origin and destination have
wide divergence and such ports may
not have been or be entitled to regular
line service"
Discussing the attitude that Ameri-
can business probably will adopt in its
efforts for world trade expansion, Mr.
C.egg was of the opinion that while
40 concerted drive for expansion would
for itself. He also was of the belief
that any drive for trade would have
to be gradual and slow in the begin
ming.
Strong Competition Expected
Mr.. Clegg also suggested that Amer
lean business would meet strong COM
petition at the hands of the business
interests of other countries, especially
England.
Asked what he thought the attitude
OF American business in the reply of
American manufacturers and shippers
to Secretary Rcdfeld's recent pro-
nouncement that they would not be
permitted to invade foreign markets.
Mr.. Clegg thought business interests
IN America could very we'll answer Mr.
Redtield by saying, "You can't stop

No immediate changes in the per-

formed by Mr.. McAdoo, Mr.. Hines said
Two important vacancies, the posi-

Can't Give Higher
Wage 10 Wire Men,
Burleson Insists
Netc York Tribune
" .sIinctonB urccN

WASHINGTON, Jan. lin antici-
patton Of protest meetings to be held in
various parts of the country tomorrow
by telephone and telegraph labor un-
ions to protest against the wage scale
granted by Postmaster General Burle-
son on January /, the Postoftice Depart
ment made public statement from Mr.
Burleson tonight in which he declared
that further wage increases at this
time would seem impracticable
"a further increase" says Mr.. Bur
Lesson, would necessitate a much high
Ell charge upon the users of the tele-
graph, whose right to service at q
reasonable cost cannot be ignored, how
ever we'll disposed l may be toward al
lowing liberal compensation to the en-
ployes."
The Postofflce Department makes
public letter sent out on December
80 by S. J. Koenkamp, international
president of the Commercial Teleg-
raphers' Union, as Confidential
communication to all organizers and
officers Of the subordinate units" in
which they are advised as follows:
THE failure of Mr. Burleson to keep
his word to reinstate the telegraph
take for him. His attitude Oil the wage
question is merely secondary to the
fact that, as a representative of the
United States government, Mr.. Burle
son has not SO far been as good as his
word. Wages and reinstatements' will
be our slogan for the coming year and
the government must make good.
Keep up a constant agitation. Don't
threaten anything, but insist as strong
ly Is you know how on justice. | an
tcipate that justice will be ignored
but 1t is preparation for our next
step"
After the increased wage schedule
was approved by the Postmaster Gen
cral, Mr.. Konenkamp, on December 81
sent out communication "to all tele-
graph workers." which said:
TELL your members that it is our
intention to keep oN pressing on,
original demands until we establish
IN Ine wage scale set as our standard
We know the workers will not be salts
fled with this petty increase, and thew
should not hesitate in informing the
Wire Board that this is not enough
We will arrange to appeal from this
award just as soon as possible"
This is propaganda to capitalize
the natural disappointment Of en-
ployes and to magnify it into uni
versal agitation of discontent," said
Mr.. Burieson to-day. "The large in
crease demanded in the wage scale
could not have been made without a
corresponding increase in The charges

that went into effect on January /
aggregated about three million and a

time suffer from greatly inferior ser
vice.
eve have the word of the Postmas-
ter General of Great Britain, in a
speech made in the House of Commons
on April 80, 1914, that within the fifty
years preceding that date the British

Loss Here Would Be Greater
Owe certainly cannot expect under
our political system to operate the wire
lines any more economically pro-rata
than Great Britain, and with a more
ing loss will be greater.
"The rates in this country under pri-
vate ownership are the lowest in the
world, and our service in America is
the best. From what I have been able
to learn every government owned tele-
graph system is operate at a loss anC
is drain upon the public treasury
Every privately owned telegraph com
pany, although working under lower
tariff rates than the government owned
telegraphs, is operated with profit
proving that private management i:
more efficient. The private telegraph
companies pay large sums into the pub
lie treasury through taxes, and instead
of being drain on the treasury and a
burden to the taxpayers are source

"The German government either
owned or controlled all the agencies
and avenues of intelligence which
entered most into the daily life of its
people. The result was a condition
where the people were gradually
brought under the control of an oil
garchy which held the life and destiny
Of the nation in its hands, to do with
as it chose. If We do not want a repe-
tition of such q condition in the United
States we will avoid government owner

All A,cards Made by
Burleson Are Upset,
". J. Deegar, Insists

William J. Deegan, secretary of the
Mackay Companies, yesterday, when
shown Postmaster Burleson's statement
regarding Judge Hands decision as to
compensation awards made by Mr.
Burlcson to the telegraph and tele-
phone companies after they were seized
by the Federal authorities, said
eve don't wonder that Mr.. Burlcson
says there is nothing in the ruling Of
Judge Hand that the power to fix com
pensation could not be delegated by
the President to MIR. Burleson That
ruling upsets everything that Mr..
Burleson has done, and it is going to be
farreaching. 1t not only upsets the
award of sl,Gso,oo0 which Mr.. Burlcson
made to the Postal Company (notwith-
standing that company earned $685.
oa7 i'll 1910, but it upsets all other
awards he has made, including the large
award he made to the Bell Telephone
of per cent on their capital stock,
which amounts to about $4,000 900,
and the award of $4,000 900 which he
made to the Western Union.
81 think it very fortunate that this
IS so. During the last five months,
since the government took control, the
expenses have been going up. Hence
when the new awards are made to take
the place Of those of Mr.. Burleson,
which have now been upset, the new
awards will, | presume, be based upon
the actual receipts and expenses dur
ing the last five months, which, of
course, Mr. Burieson did not have be-
fore him when he made his awards
This will save the government millions
Of money, and although it will be quite
unsatisfactory to the Bell and Western
Union, yet it ought to be very satisfac-
tory to the government itself. and GER
tninly will be to the public. who always
are taxed to make UP deficits. Alto
