SEAMEN WATCH
OR EFFORT To
CUT THEIR WAGES
United States Representative
Watches Peace Meet For
Move by Britain.
BY LOWELL MEIIIETT.
BY United Press

By United Press
PARIS, Jan. 2O.--Americas posi-
ton as a strong maritime nation
depends upon the ability of its
peace delegates to uphold the high
standard Of working conditions ef-
fected by the American Seamen's
Act. Andrew Furuseth, secretary of
the Seamen's Union of America, de-
clared today.
Believing that while freedom of
the seas is occupying the conferees'
mind. freedom of the seamen may
go by the board, Furuseth has
brought his long lean, angular
frame here 10 haunt the Quai
d'Orsay. He fears that other ma
tions. particularly Great Britain.
may attempt TO obtain international
legislation that would abrogate the
American Seamen's Act, but is con-
fident that the American delega-
ton will oppose any such move.
Bring up Most Standards.
THE effect of the American Sea-
mems Act has been 10 bring up
wages to the standard of American
seamen everywhere except among
the Oriental countries" Furuseth
said in an interview with the United
Press today.
The Act also is steadily improving
living conditions, not only on Amer
lean ships. but on others. The Brit
ish basic wage is now II pounds
month. 10 which the government
adds a bonus of three pounds. max
ing a total practically equivalent to
our wage Of SIS a month. When the
American Act became effective, per-
hitting seamen under any flag to
leave their ship in an American port
and sign on again under that ports
normal age, il resulted in an enor-
nous shortage Of British seamen.
AS a consequence, the wages in Brit
ish ports began jumping. Now wages
are practically the same everywhere,
although the French government
by making all seamen man-of-war
men, was able to prevent desertions
because of the penalty.
Have Data on Increase.
I'VE know that the British gov
eminent has been supplied by its
consuls all over the world with data
showing how the American Sea-
mems Act has brought up wages in
each port. We know the greatest
pressure has been exerted on the
British government by British ship
owners 10 obtain international leg
islation emasculating the act. We
have been told that Premier Lloyd
George would rescue the British
ship owners from the effect OF the
Act. II may be that our informants
were only expressing hope. but the
seamen must be on their guard"
Representatives of seamen from
all parts Of the world will meet IN
London Feb. "a. 10 consider ques-
tions affecting their interests.

Reports were received today of
disorders in some sections Of Ber-
lin. and in Leipzig and Musseldorf.
but in most instances the elections
appear to have run off with much
less troable than had been antici-
pated.
More than 90 percent of the quail
fed voters in Berlin were believed
to have taken advantage of their
newly acquired right Of equal fran
chise. Whole families. sometimes
including a dozen members, ap-
peared in the long lines before the
polling places, especially in the
northern sections. Grandparents
and youngsters eagerly discussed
the probable results with equal en-
thusiasrn. The children took an ac-
tive part in the elections by proudly
distributing pamphlets.
