contained in the following resolution
submitted to the COMMITTEES:
Resolved, that with the report
submitting the bids to the senate and
house committees the board states
that 1t proposes to take the following
action:
The board believes that in view OF
the uncertainty as to whether the
sales Of the ex-Gerlnan ships would
actually be made. the bids received
are much less than can be Obtained
by further negotiations. e.. tSS-
Resolved, that the bids received
on the twentieth of January in re-
sponse to the advertisement for seal
ed bids and those received At the pub.
lie auction held on the 18th and I7th
instant, be and the same are hereby
rejected and that the checks OF the
bidders be returned l.sS
Resolved, further, that the sales d.
vision be and it is hereby instructed
to negotiate further for the sale fof
the said ex-German passenger ships
On the terms heretofore announced in
the original advertisement: That Ii:
"A--That they be sold to American
firms, corporations or persons for use
under the American nag.
B-And offered with reference to
the routes or services established by
the board and that each negotiation,
when the highest price possible Ii
reached. be reported to the board for
its action" 2ss 2|sss3!
The resolution was embodied lin a
prepared statement which Mr.. Payne
read to the committee He recalled
that the board had sold 1873 ships in
accord with its policy to dispose OF
the fleet to American citizens for .op-
GRAFTON under the American flAk and
that 18 former German cargo vessels
were included in this number The
price received was $s3,545,s47,
Chairman Payne said il the con-
gress desired to change this policy to
public ownership OF ships, the paaseYi-
scr liners should not be sold and COM
gress should direct the board to spend
the $7a.Ub o. .o0e- estimated as ,neces-
|sary to convert them from 4troclp ct,l Sfo
passenger vessels iss s
r"M we proceed to recondition the
ships. making them At for passenger
use, continued the chairman, fit will
take from six to twelve months to put
them into service. Our conviction is
that we will not thereafter be able to
sell the ships for the cost Of recondi- :
tioning plus the price at which we
can now sell. IS

DEMONSTRATION
COAL MINES ARE
NOW ADVOCATED
Rutledge Would Have Mine
Run on Plan of Demon
stration Farm.

New York. Feb. ia plea for
demonstration coal mines" along the
same lines as demonstration farms
maintained by the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, was made be-
fore the 121st annual meeting of the
American Institute of Mining and
Metallurgical Engineers here today.
by J.. j.: Rutledge Of the United States
bureau of mines.
The object Of these mines, which
would be located in the principal Goa!
areas, he said, would be to make ex-
periments with various details of coal
mining to discover the most effective
local methods. The demonstration
mines would be operated under a
board of disinterested engineers and
practical miners.
"A. f.. Knfckerbocker of Guyana,
MIMI, declared that the present wage
systens In mines were the most fire.
.Auent causes Of unrest" leading to
meMcicncy and migration fby the
RoEkera. He. referred arttcularlS 10
the Contract wage system. which he
,Sxld is proving fnequftab1e In it's APP
plicatioh although wages In the main
are adequate. SsS,l.
3 The main cause Of trouble is that
the mining captain" has all au-
thoFity to set wage prices for, q month
ahead and because Of the uncertainty
of working conditions and the variety
OF operative injustice is frequent. The
result may be well meaning but IS
arbitrary. e, 80
The miners favor the system in gen.
eral by which they get a certain
amount per ton and pay for their
supplies, etc. Mr.. Knickerbocker
urged q standard system instead of
Sone4!dependent on the judgment or
whtm of an individual. He proposed
time studies Of the various tasks and
the setting OF standard or average
rates for each He suggested . that
delays due to the companys fault be
paid for by the company. -.
