$ Shipping Rates
Remain Up Despite
Boards New Policy
Await Instructions
From Shipping Board Be-
fore Reducing Scale OH
Government Owned Shins

Shipping operators here, though not
yet officially informed of the with
drawal Of all fxed tariffs by the Ship
ping Board, expressed the view that
the new decision marked step toward
normal business methods. Tho an
nouncement did not affect rates per-
ccptibly yesterday, because operating
companies would not change their pol
icy until notified to do so directly by
the Shipping Board. for which they act
as agents.
In shipping circles 1t was said that
the new policy would mean the elimi-
nation of the differential in favor of
Shipping Board vessels and would
bring the government rates down to
the level Of independent American and
foreign shipping rates. Specifically,
this ought to mean reduction of the
transatlantic rate on coal amounting to
81 ton, an = reduction on the Ship
ring Board rates on full cargo lots.
In recent weeks, when the demand
for cargo space fell off sharply with
the. shrinkage in the value of foreign
exchanges, necessitating a curtailment
~ SAPollS lLS CHlpplltg DOarO, accord
ing to operating companies, lost much
business to it's competitors because Of
its higher thanNthc open market rates.
Freight rates were topping month
ago, when the sensational drop in the
exchange market took place, but they
now are fairly steady.
The break in freight rates was part
~ checked by the withdrawal of some
Shipping Board and other vessels from
transatlantic service. During the coal
scarcity that has prevailed. here since
the strike some transatlantic steamers
have been ordered to carry coal up and
down the Atlantic Coast to relieve crit
ical situations. and other steamers
have temporarily found business in
carrying goods between European
ports.
Shipping men regarded the announce
ment Of the new Shipping Board poll
icy as in line with Chairman Payne's
campaign to reduce the personnel and
cost of maintenance of the Shipping
Board organization. Under the new
system the operators, who are bonded
and work for the Board on a COM
mission basis. will be authorized to
make contracts on their own initiative
at prevailing market rates with ship
pers and then to physically operate
the ships.

some OF the Western points said that there
were bids there. Offers, however, were

with a delfberateness that was
maddening, take off her glasses,
and finally, after "a perfunctory
goodnight, go upstairs. Anne could
hear her moving around in the room
overhead preparing to go to bed,
and she would be forced to sit on
and talk to Mr.. Snyder until she
felt she would go mad at the long
silences that fell between them.
They had nothing in common, not
even the common ground of youth,
for Anne was too reserved to talk
about herself. Once, long ago, she
had asked Cherry about the men
who called on her.
What 90 you have to talk about
all evening?" she had asked Curl
ously.
Cherry had looked at Anne out
of the corner of her blue eyes and
had said: "Oh, there's always some
thing to talk about. And then it's
always exciting not knowing what
will happen next" And she had
laughed consciously.
Anne knew now what Cherry had
meant. She was always fearful of
what Mr.. Snyder might do next,
fearful that he might repeat his ac-
tions of that memorable night, but
so far he had made no attempt to
touch her..

Anne did not answer and her
father repeated: What was it?
Speak out can't you? To think
that q daughter of mine could be
such a silent fool!"
The injustice of her fathers re-
mark stung Anne to anger. She
looked up and met her fathers eyes
levelly. There was no cringing in
that look, no weakness. What do
you want me to say?" she asked,
almost coldly.
He was surprised. taken back. II
want you to tell me why you treat
Snyder the way you do. He's a fine
chap; you couldn't do better than
to marry him. He has a nice, tidy
pile. and a good farm, and he's
good-looking enough to please any
woman"
IT don't want to marry him; I
don't love him."
what do you know about love? ?"
her father. asked contemporary.
Love, the first thing you women
pirate of is love. Where oes 1t get
you? What does it amount to? i
tell you, Bill Snyder is n of the
best catches in town, and you're
not going to make a fool of yourself
for any foolish within"
Anne was silent. Her very silence
Infatuated Jim Carter. Haven't you
my spirit at all? he growled out.
Didn't you inherit anything but
your mothers weakness / want
to know why you don't like this
man. What happened. did he try
to kiss your"
"Father!" Anne's tone was an
guished.
$50 that's it. I was right. Well,
suppose he did. Is that going to
kill you? Most girls wouldn't OBJ
Ject to a little love making. I sup
pose you want the wedding ring on
your finger before you have any
fun. Well, I want to tell you those
squeamish ideas of yours aren't go
ing to get you anywhere. You're
eighteen and it's time you were
married and had a home of your
own. Now, I don't want to hear
any more foolishness from YOU. :.
Father, let me speak. I don't
want to marry Bill Snyder nor any
man. Let me work; let me do
something. anything. Let me get

ny! A Job! What could you do?
Now, don't get any Of that new
woman stuff into your head. Your
job is in the kitchen getting some
mans meals. I tell you. I'll get
this fine lady nonsense out of your
head, or I'll kill you'll"
He rose and came over to Anne,
and the menacing look in his eyes
terrified her, so that she shrank
away. The love of the bully in him
was Modified somewhat by the ter
ror in the girls eyes. AS long as
she was afraid of him, he could
manage her, and that was what he
wanted.
IT don't want to hear any more
of this nonsense" he said. And
when Bill Snyder comes here / want
him to be treated as a guest should
be. He's my friend, and no girl or
mine Is going to insult him with
any fine lady ideas. You'll go a long
way before you find any n as
good as he is who would look at
you; let me tell you that"
A few nights later Bill Snyder
came to call, and from that time on
he came to the Carriers quite regu-
larry. 1t seemed the thing for him
to drop in on Sundays for an early
supper and afterward Anne would
be forced to sit in the ugly parlor
while Mr.. Snyder and her father
talked farm gossip and Aunt Mar
tina sewed. She knew always that
sooner or later her father would
get up and leave them and that
Aunt Martha, after staying a while

abrupt, would fold UP her sewing
