two merchant steam vessels sailed
from American ports for Europe fly-

But this the United States refused to
do. though repeated efforts. were made
to have laws passed for that purpose

More Definite After Armistice.

After the armistice was signed rates
took on a more definite character. A
survey of wages paid on foreign YES
sells leaving New York from January
Is, 1919, to February Is, 1919. showed
that the American rate seemed to have
become the standard. The American
wage of SIS month for seamen and
firemen was paid by Canadian. Danish,
Dutch. Norwegian. Russian and Swed-
ish ships. and the British and Belgian
ships paid s70.56 for seamen and s73
for f1remen. The Japanese ships were
paying the lowest rates of ALL $50 for
seamen and $50 for firemen. But Bunii
Suzuki, president of the Laborers
Friendly Society of Japan. is author
ity for the statement that Japanese
wages have doubled since the war be-
gan, and that a movement among or
ganized seamen of Japan. numbering
some 5000. is to bring wages more
nearly to the American standard

in January, 1915, through it's committee
on American merchant marine in for

it was said:

generally accepted that operation under
the American flag will cost from 40 to
so per cent more. We believe this per-
centage should be applied to wages
alone. for the cost Of fuel. supplies. in
surance and upkeep is substantially
equal for the same character of vessel

Further along in the report the COM
mittee holds that the added cost Of op-
Grafton under the American flag would
be overcome if the wages of for foreign
vessels were eQualized, and that the esti-'
mate of 40 to so per cent is great ex-

Need Of Young Americans.


II the American merchant marine of
today is to lead as did the old American
merchant marine before the civil war,
when tall ships and rich cargoes were
the pride Of the nation, there must be a
constant supply of young Americans
turning to the sea. The increase in
wages to SIS is likely to be a fixture. it
is sid. These are good wages. when it is
considered that all the expenses of men
are paid while on duty, and may tempt
young men of adventurous spirit.
When this country entered the war
80 per cent of the f1reroom forces in
American merchantmen were aliens. To-
day the percentage is 80 per cent Amer
leans on ships sailing from Pacific ports
and so per cent Americans on vessels

American vessels sailing from both At
