Shipping g Revival
Seen i'm Advance

SO Deck Officers Sign ON
Vessels in Last Three
Days; More Than Total in
November; Freight Better

Indications of slow revival in ship
ping are evident for the first time in
months in the recent increase III the
number of deck officers employed on
American ships. At the Neptune AS
sociation of Masters, Mates and Pilots
yesterday Secretary F. A. Gainard said
that in the last three Gays thirty six
officers had been placed, more than the
total last month. These we're signed
on nine vessels.
Sentiment among the officers and
crews is more is more optimistic than
for some time past, Mr.. Gainard said.
1t is believed that the gain will con
tinue gradually.
Among steamship owners also there
is belief that the corner has been
turned and that rates, except in incl
dental instances, will not go much
lower. AS indications of this they
point to the Increasing number of in
quiries for ships on charter and also
for purchase. Freight bookings are re-
ported increasing by several companies.
At present cargoes are being shipped
generally below cost, which is expected
TO correct itself in due time.

New-York tribune., 1921-12-10

Officials of the Neptune Association
said yesterday that comparison of
American and German wages in dollars
is not an accurate analysis of the situ
ation, in that the purchasing power of
the mark in Germany, where the ma
rine workers support their families, is
considerably more than its exchange
value. AS an instance, it was said that
an overcoat costing $50 in this country
can be bought for Sc in marks in
Germany.
The Shipping Board and private
steamship companies now have the
question of wages under conside ration
and it is expected that a reduction of
about 10 per cent will be announced
shortly by the ship owners.
According to reports from Hamburg,
Germany shipping men protested to the
United States through the Swiss En-
bassy before the recent peace procla-
nation on discrimination against their
vessels in American ports. 1t is stated
that while other foreign ships are re-
quired to pay portage Of six cents a
ton net, the German ships are charged
an extra duty of one dollar a ton regis
ter because of old stipulations concern >
ing duties "in special cases" 1t is the
contention of the German interests
that this is illegal under the CONNER
cial and shipping agreement made in
1922 between Prussia and the United
States. The German government is
expected to take up the matter off
cially when full diplomatic intercourse
IS restored
