Labor Members on
Board Accuse O,uners.
R0using Sharp Reply

After the War Labor Board had ad-
journed following announcement of its
inability to make decision on the
harbor controversy, Chairman Manly
went into conference with the boards
labor members, which include w. II
Johnston, Fred Hewitt, Matthew Woll
John J. Manning, T. A. Rickert and I.
NJ. Guerin.
A few minutes later statement
signed by these men IVES given the
press by Chairman Manly. 1t declared
that the burden of a strike, if it
came, rested absolutely "on those en-
ployers, private and public, VINO have
refused to submit to any form of arbi-
tration offered to them with reference
to demands Of the men," who, it de-
clared, had exercised great patience
and shown keen consideration for
the conveniences of the government
and the public.
On reading this, Joseph j. Glatz-
mayer, president of the New York
lied Chairman Manly as a young go
cialist, recently imported from Can
ada, or some other distant point, to
add to the woes of an unhappy nation.
The sooner he is tagged and shipped
back to his point of origin the better
1T will be for all concerned"
Labor Members Statement
The supplemental statement to which
this referred followed:
"If strike occurs in New York har-
Dor, the burden must rest absolutely
on those employers, private and pub
llc, who have refused to submit to any
form of arbitration offered with refer
ence to demands of the men,
1--WE have never, in all our long in
dustrial experience, seen any body of
men who have exercised greater pa
tience, a larger willingness to arbi-
trate their difficulties, or who have
been more keenly alive to the neces-
sites of the government and public
convenience than the New York hapbor
employees and their leaders.
"Sincc the beginning of the war the
boat owners have constantly violated
awards Of Il board constituted by their
voluntary agreement and have con-
temptuously refused to comply with
the orders of the National War Labor
Board and the spirit of the proclama-
tion of the President of the United
States, and have further refused tc
submit to any form of arbitration.
"All this has been done notwith-
standing the urgent request of the
Secretary Of Labor, the Secretary OF
War, the Secretary of the Navy and
the Shipping Board that this matter
be adjusted, and in spite of the grave
consequences which may result from
their attitude"

session they began at 10 o'clock in the
morning: 1t was 2:3c when the clerk
raped for order and Manly read the
following:
The National War labor Board
finds itself unable 70 secure a settle
ment of the controversy with refer
ence to the New York Harbor situation,
tor the following reasons:
II. The private boat owners and the
railroad administration failed to COM
ply with the order of the board, of De-
cembcr 21 1918, to fill the vacancies
existing on the New York Harbor
Wage Adjustment Board
-. The private boat owners and the
railroad administration refused to
submit the case to the National War
Labor BOARD and to agree to abide by
its decision.
.. The private boat owners refused
to submit the question of an eight
hour day to any other proposed form
OF arbitration except after an investi-
gatlon for period OF not less than
thirty days by specially created con-
terence committee supplementary to
the arbitration board.
Under the principles and policies of
the National War Labor Board, we can
not proceed further and give assurance
OF rendering a definite and binding de-
c!slon, except in case of joint submis-
sion.
Further Delay Inadvisable
This case, which was instituted on
November 8, 1918, by the employees,
has already been subjected to long de-
lay and we feel that it would not be
just to the parties to the controversy
further to prolong cons liberation by this
board
I'VE therefore take this means of
notifying the palties to the contro-
Versy-the employees, the private boat
owners and the Railroad Administra
tion-and the various governmental
departments at whose instance we took
up this case. viz: The Department of
LABOR. the Shipping Board and the War
and Navy Departments, that we have
been unable to effect a settlement of
the case, either by mediation or con-
ciliation.
In making this declaration, the Ma
tlonal War Labor Board earnestly an
peals to the parties to this CONTROVERSY.

Marine Strike Won't

The strike of marine workers will

the workmen directly handling railroad

this is not likely, as the railroad lines

World Currency
In Gold Would Cut
Prices, Says Owen
Senator, After Talking With
Financiers Abroad, Finds
Expanded Paper Keeps
Goods ON High Levels

PARIS. Jan. S.-United States SEN
ator Robert L. Owen, of Oklahoma,
after conferring with international
financial authorities here and in Lon
don, takes the view that the high
prices prevailing in Europe and Amer
lea are due in part to expanded foreign
paper currency. He believes that Amer
lean Reserve Banks or Foreign Re-
serve Bank. analogous to the American
system, would be highly advantageous
in making the American gold dollar the
measure of international contracts.
thus expanding American commerce
abroad
While in London Senator owen con-
fered with Sir Brien Cokayne, gov
ernor of the Bank of England; Regi-
maid Mckenna, former Chancellor of the
EXchequer. and the leading officials of
the English Treasury. He also con-
ferred here with the financial adviser
OF the American delegates and with
Colonel House, Henry White and
others.
Not Short Supplies Alone
Summing up his observation, Senator
Owen said:
The high prices in Great Britain and
France are due not alone to high
freights and short supplies. but in part
to the greatly expanded currency,
which, while nominally on a gold basis,
Is in reality based on governmental
credit and patriotism, British and
French notes not really being available
to get gold. Consequently, American
dollars, exchangeable in America for
gold, are buying in Great Britain and
France paper currency not actually con-
vertiblc in gold on demand and with
purchasing power much lower than in
normal times.
"ln the mean time, however, Ameri-
cans are paying about twice as rauch
for what they get in Great Britain and
france as in normal times. This will
help to adjust the balance of trade. and
falls largely upon Americans travelling
N and buying goods of Europe.
j World Currency Needed
can international gold currency,
actually convertible at all times in
gold, is greatly needed by the world
now. Great Britain is furnishing Rus
at London, which serves a very useful
purpose in providing stable means
for buying and selling commodities in
Russia, Notwithstanding the fact that
ruble notes are, in all human probabil
ity. not actually exchanged for gold in
London.
"Amerioa could furnish gold secured
luble notes very advantagcously for
American commerce. Russia safeguard
ing the notes by quick redemption in
gold at Il central point.
Expanded paper money in Europe
is indirectly raising prices in America.
II is the desire of EuropeaD states
men to bring about lowering Of prices
throughout the world. OF this America
should take note.
"To put the American dollar at ac-
tual pan throughout the world and
make the American gold dollar the
measure of international contracts
would be of vast Importance to tho
future expansion Of American foreign
commerce. The mechanism to accom-
plish this can be afforded through re-
scrve banks or through Federal re-
serve foreign bank devoted exclusively
to foreign exchange and stabilizing the
American dollar abroad"

Germs
Prefers Private Operation
Private operation is more efficient
than government operation, Mr.. Clark
some merit in the Cummins plan. He
did not, however, commit himself
further regarding it.
"Under private management" said
Mr.. Clark, there is larger incentive
for saving, and less probability of ex-
penditures to meet the insistence Of
residents of certain sections or local-
ties. Private control is more apt to
keep pace with and adopt the best
methods"
What part of your conclusions do
YOU base on the theory of political in
huence?" asked Senator Cummins.
That's separate question, but it
plays its part and would bring about
expenditures" said Mr.. Clark.
Discussing the question of wages.
Senator Cummins asked if employees
would render better service under pri-
vate or government management In
reply Mr.. Clark said that, compared
with "substantial period" of govern
ment management, the efficiency would
be greater under private control. Tn
reply to further questions he agreed
with Senator Cummins that "generally
employment under government manage
meEt was wasteful and extravagant. F."
The hearing adjourned at noon to
be resumed tomorrow, when, it is ex-
pected. the railroads will present their
case.
