Take Over German Routes

Washington, March ia plan un-
der which American steamship COM
panies would take over and operate
with American ships the sixty pre-
war world trade routes of the Ham
burg-American line is being WORKED
out by the shipping board, subject, II
is understood, to the approval of the
German company. ---
The proposal was approved today
by the Senate commerce committee
ten to fourteen, after Chairman Payne
had explained it in executive ses'
sion.
There was an apparent difference OF
opinion among committee members as
to the exact plans of the board, but
both Chairman Jones and Mr.. Payne
in subsequent statements said the
board would not be a party to the
proposed arrangements with the HAM
burg-American lines; that its part
merely would be to furnish the ships
either through sale or lease, and to
lend it's cooperation in obtaining this
business for American shipping in
terests.
Cooperative Arrangement,
Whether the plan originated with
the German company or with the
board was not made clear. 1t was
said, however, that any arrangement
made would be cooperative one

That the Hamburg-American line had
the port facilities for handling its pre-
war business. but was without ships.
The routes which the American
companies will take over include
those not only between Germany and
the United States, but also to South
America. the Orient, and other parts
cr the world. Shipping board officials
sid the business probably would be
too great for any one American COM
rany to handle and that if the ar
rangements went through several
companies probably would operate the
immense fleet necessary to take care
OF the enormous volume of business
which the German company had before
the war.

AGREEMENT HELD UP
BY BRITISH MINERS
New Demand Presented at
Last Moment POstpOnes
Strike Settlement.
CABINET IS SUMMONED
Sudden Break Follows Report
That Final Terms Had
Been Accepted.

Special Gable 10 THE New YORK HERALD.
Copyright 1920, By THE New York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
London, Oct. %.
The strike of the coal miners and a
widespread British industrial war hangs
in the balance again tonight over what
Is reported to be the merest detail in
the proposed settlement The negotia-
tons will continue tomorrow. The
seriousness Of the situation is indicated
by the announcement that the Cabinet
will meet early, before the Ministers
resume conference with the miners.
Both sides still express confidence that
a settlement will be reached.
The Trades Union Congress held a
conference OF all the labor leaders to-
day. It was n stormy meeting. and
adjourned only on the promise OF some
thing definite tomorrow morning.
Although both sides refused TO make
any formal statement II is generally
understood that an agreement principle
was reached whereby the coal miners
will get two shillings advance in wages
forthwith. dependent on an investiga-
>tion to determine. within an experiment
tai time. whether the amount of coal
produced for export in excess of the
Production before the strike warrants
the wage increase. 1t Is understood that
the South Wales miners are still stand
ing out against any agreement which
would permit the two shillings raise to
be revoked under any circumstances
There Is also n general fear among the
miners that the agreement as drafted
might have the effect of making perma-
nent the application of the principle that
wages are dependen; upon output. and
Al.. Ill "a .lx~t-+ .
preclude future naturalization of the
mines.
To-day's negotiations put the problem
on new basis in these respects: The
value, rather than the quantity. of the
output will be taken to govern the wages
paid the miners, and the same system
Will govern the owners and the Govern
ment's share. 1t Is the price of export
coal exclusively which will ba affected
by such settlement as the Govern
ment has insisted there must not be any
Increase in the price Of domestic coal as
a result of the strike.
The Government, realizing the i'm
portance OF export coal in the empire $
commercial power made a strong effort
to reach settlement Of the controversy
without boosting its price to n height
where it would be difficult to compete
with American. and even with German,
coal In the worlds markets, but with
miners and mine owners both standing
out for a share in the anticipated in
creased profits, there remained no other
means of extricating this factor from
the situa ton. for the Government felt
that solution Of the problem must be
reached before the unemployment
menace and further unrest brings 4
complete wreck.
Both sides pay tribute to Premier
Lloyd Georges knowledge OF the de-
tails of the entire controversy and his
patience in dealing with the arguments
by both sides. They say it will result
in success.

Wage Drop in Midwest;
Many Laborers Are Idle

Special Despatch TO THE NEW YORK
HERALD.
CHICAGO, Oct. 27.- Wages
have dropped and the pros
poets are they will continue to
drop. Hundreds of skilled and
unskilled laborers have been laid
off in Chicago and there is prac-
tically no demand for labor of
any kind. This, in brief, is the
summary of the labor situation
in Chicago as winter approaches.
The summary is made by officials
of the Chicago Office of the Illi-
nois Free Employment Agency.
Reports from other cities
throughout the State indicate
that conditions are practically
the same. In Peoria the situa-
ton is much worse.
