CHIEF engineers by giving them a
large wage increase which makes
their salaries only $25 a month less
than the masters receive. This leaves
only the demands Of licensed engineer

These demands, Mr.. Brown said, are
for s35 fat increase In salaries in

added, would be somewhat under the
average overtime during trip, but
steamship owners have so far been
unwilling to grant it.
Licensed deck officers, according to
Mr.. Brown, are included In the same
category as engineroom assistants.
and whatever concessions are made
to the latter will also apply to the

So close to settlement was the seri-
