A definite order countermanding the
recent decision OF the United States
Shipping Board to move the division
OF operations intact to New York. re-
leasing at the same time between 200
and 800 employees OF the division. Is
expected to be issued following a

Shipping Board as the first Of a series
Of new and vigorous steps to get the
