In the case OF one the decoration bore

."These decorations" said Representa-

"Recently / was In Philadelphia when
a ship from overseas docked. I found
every member of the crew from the cook
up wearing Croix de Guerre. / inquired
of an oficer on the ship how II hap
pened that every man aboard had been
decorated for exceptional gallantry. He
explaiued that the medals and ribbons
had been offered for sale By pAdlers in
France at five francs each and had been
purchased by members of the crew.

them for me, and am taking this method

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-A tremen-
dous slash in ocean shipping rates

in general We're proport.onately
dropped, thu percentages in most In
stances being slightly lower.
These cuts by the Shipping Board
and reductions in commodity rates an
nounced two days ago, which affected
only north Atlantic ports, were made to
meet English competition and follow
similar actions made by tho British
Iney wipe out tne hign war shipping
rates almost at a single clip. They are
indicative Of the policy to be pursued
by the United States and carry out the
declaration of Chairman Hurley of the
board that the United States would
meet all competition. He gave this as
surance to Secretary OF Commerce Red
field when the Secretary declared that
American trade was threatened unless
our ship rates were brought down to
meet foreign competition.

LONDON, Jan. 30-The Cabinet met
to-day to discuss the labor troubles.
It IS understood that the Ministers de-
cided against intervening at present
In the strikes on the ground that they
have not been authorized by the trade
unionists and that therefore interven-
ton would be unwise. 1t is the view
of the Ministers that the men, in the
absence OF the usual strike pay, are
not likely to Ions keep up the move
ment and that the Government there
fore should conflne its action to pre-
serving order.
At the meeting the Ministers dis
cussed a telegram received from the
Provost Of Glasgow containing the re-
quest of the strikers for the Govern
a forty-four hour week. Andrew Bo-
mar Law, on behalf of Premier Lloyd
George, sent a reply to the Provost
declining to intervene.
