Ship Board to Ask
Mail Case Hearing
When Liners Return
Government Is Busily En-
gagged in Collecting Aft
davits, and a New Sur
prise Has Been Forecast

Although the attorneys for both sides
in the injunction suit brought by the
United States Mail Steamship Company
against the United States Shipping
Board have tacitly agreed to permit
the case to remain dormant for the
time being, it is known that the gov
eminent is busily engaged in collect
ing affidavits and will ask for hear
ing in the Federal District Court as
soon as its documents are complete.
Delaney Nicoll jr, attorney for
the Mail company, said yesterday that
there was no way the board could act
to have the injunction proceeding va
Gated without going to court and max
ing motion to that effect.
AS all the vessels in commission are
on the high seas or in foreign ports.
there is little likelihood of any further
measures being taken by the boards
counsel until the ships return to this
jurisdiction.
Rumors were persistent in shipping
circles, however, that the government
plans a new surprise in its efforts to
regain possession of the nine liners
that were seized and later restored to
the charterers by injunction. 1t. has
contended all along that the arbitra-
ton clause in the contract does not
affect the validity of the seizure for
charter hire past due.
Denial was made by E. A. Quar!es,
assistant to the president of the Mail
company, that the Kerr Steamship
Line interests had made any offer to
consolidate the two corporations. Such
a procedure was never even discussed,
he added No information was made
public regarding the identity of the
financiers who will back the Mail in
it's bid for the nine ships, which bid
they have informed the board will soon
be forthcoming.
Chairman Albert D. Lasker of the
Shipping Board already has begun to
put his house in order on q ~strictly
business basis. Orders have been is
sued making the hours Of duty for en-
ployees from a. m: to s p. M, with
only half an hour for lunch, and on
Saturdays from a. m. to 1880 p. M,
with no time off Cor lunch. This is a
saving of seven and one-half hours per
week, which will mean thousands of
dollars in actual money saved.
1t was learned at headquarters, 45
Broadway, yesterday that all employees
on leave in Washington have had their
vacations Cancelled and orders given
for them to return to duty at once.
This action is causing uneasiness
among the personnel in the New York
Office as it is believed it will be put into
into effect here shortly.

Later on, Goldsmith according to his
