AFTER MANY DAYS CONFERENCE
 MARINE ENGINEERS STRIKE ENDS

the United States Shipping Board, have invested three billions of dol lars in vessels. Of the total Ameri- can tonnage, 7,790,736 tons are own ed by the American people and D. 125,273 tons by the stockholders of American steamship companies. Not
 only are the American people by far the largest owners of American ves- sels, but also their interest in the general prosperity which will result from the successful and continuous operation of an American merchant marine makes the possible profits of private steamship companies in- significant in comparison as there is but small margin of profit in the op- eration of American ships in compe- tition with foreign ships, under the best obtainable conditions, now that the war emergency has passed. Not even the Government can afford to continue indefinitely to operate ships at a loss.
 Admiral Benson, chairman of the United States Shipping Board, has led the movement to save the American Merchant marine by promulgating the terms of q fifteen per cent. re- duCtion in wages and the revision of the much-abused overtime payment plan which precipitated the strike of the marine unions. The strike is not against the steamship companies but virtually against a branch of the United States government. Natur- ally the steamship companies individ- ually and through their organiZa- tiOns are backing up the Shipping Board, for successful operations by the private companies are just as dependent upon a reduction of Oper- ating costs as in the case of the Government owned vessels. We must reduce cost materially or give way to foreign competition in overseas oSihmerCe.
 "The great disparity in operating costs as between American and for eign ships is illustrated by q com parison of wages pal. Taking the Engine department as an example, the comparison of monthly salaries is as follows:
The daily Alaskan., 1921-06-14

The above comparison is figured on the basis of the pre-war exchange value of the English pound of S4.- .SG. On the basis of the present ex- change value of the pound. of s. g2. the American total would be $S27.5O and the British total S437.- .G&. With the proposed fifteen per cent. reduction of American salaries in effect, the American total would be $I0O, as compared with S4S7.0S British. Added to the disparity in wages are the overtime and other re- quiyement on American ships which increase the cost of operation,
 The reduction of wages and changes fl working rules set by Ad- miral Benson, are the least under
The daily Alaskan., 1921-06-14

which the American merchant mar inc can survive, in my opinion. The proposed reduction of fifteen per cent. ill wages is less than the re- duction from the peak of living costs, upon which the high wage scale was based, and less than has been voluntarily accepted by work CTS in many other lines.
 "We have no quarrel with the unions, as unions, but we are pre- pared to back up the United States Shipping Board to the last extrem- ity in it's refusal to submit to union dictation which gives no heed to economic laws and demands, for not only the future of our own business but the life of the American Mer- chant marine hangs in the balance"
The daily Alaskan., 1921-06-14

Washington, June 14.-Secretary uc Labor Davis, announced today that the marine engineers strike was ended.
 This has occurred after many days of conference between Secretary Da- wis. Chairman Benson and Lasker, the new chairman.
 All of the engineer locals ordered their members back to work. It is understood that private ship owners are not parties to agreement, but it is thought that other marine unions will follow suit of the engineers as indicated in Secretary Davis an nouncement.
 Seattle. Wash, June 14.-"The national marine strike now in prog ress is of more than ordinary inter- est to the general public for the in- terests of the American people far outweigh the interests of the steam- ship companies in the present contrO- versy. in fact l doubt very much that there has ever been another strike in which the American public at large was more deeply concerned" said A. r. Haines, Yice-president and General Manager of the Admiral Line, when asked to define the atti- tude on the strike of his company, which operates more vessels than any other American company on the Pa cifc.
 The question of profits for stock holders of steamship companies is the least question involved in the controversy over wages and working conditions of crews of American yes sels," continued MT, Haines. The great question. in which the Ameri can public is vitally interested, is whether or not the cost of operation Of American ships can be brought down to a basis which will permit them to operate in competition with foreign vessels. If not, the Aneri- can merchant marine will again rap idly decline and foreign vessels will again carry the commerce of the world and give the advantage in the markets of the world to foreign na- tons.
