and build plants accordingly. George
Cole, Of the Southern Shipbuilding

Seeks Joint Action to
Stop Harbor Pollution
Representative Appleby Would
Call international Confer
euce ON Subject

A conference of the leading maritime
nations to consider means of control
ling pollution of ravigablc waters is the
purpose of a resolution introduced in
the House by Representative App'eby,
of New Jersey. This would authorize
and direct the President to call an in
ternational meeting to discuss super
vision of the discharge of oil from
tankers and oil-burning vessels and
the advisability of amending legisla-
ton.
Mr.. Appleby contends that danger is
caused by the dumping into the sea of
oil waste, fuel oil. sludge, slop, tar
residue and water ballast. The res5-
luton states that this action has caused
4 serious menace to the maritime and
fishing industries of the world, that the
fire hazard around piers and bulkheads
has been increased, that it is running
bathing beaches and seashore resorts
and that losses amount to millions.

For the present there Is no prospect
OF reduction in the labor costs OF INC
railroads. and only small prospect OF
any substantial reduction in cost OF ma
day Is spreading into all industry. so
that the farmers may have to carry II
into food production in order TO get men
the prospect OF relief IS remote for en-
ployer or employed.
We may as we'll acknowledge that the
eight hour day. carried into all our ma
tional life cuts down our production
and sets US back industrially to an cN-
tent that may be measured IN equifai-
ents OF population. Were all the people
10 use the eight hour day for intensive
work and intensive production, when
arc the real reasons for an eight hour
day, We might overcome some OF me
loss. But in the meantime the dis

As 10 the bills for railroad labor. Con
gress has created tho Railroad Labor
Board which henceforth Is the Federal
agency for settling grievances or dis

when those directly concerned are I'M
able TO aEree about II. rms wax
Board Is composed OF members repre-
sentinE the men. the railroads and the
public-three for each. Through IT,
final determination of what shall be the
wages paid in railroad service rests
with the agencies Of government user

sincerely hope as between the railroads
and the men. for we prefer to live as Il
happy family loyal To the public ser

Tho railroads realize the public inter
est Is concerned deeply in labor aues-
tons and the Wage Board may be re-
garded az logical step for CONCLUDING
differences in labor disputes without dis
turbing this business OF the country in
which the people depend for their very
subsistence.
Yet another reason for the difficulties
In the railroad situation Is the failure
OF the people, and OF Congress repre-
Senting the people, to recognize that this

OF the country and its possibilities for

for their lack of foresight and economy
But there Is another side TO the pic

In other words. those who spent their

who were thrifty took wise advantage
OF their increased income. Any blanket
indictment OF the worklngman on the
charge Of wasting his high wages Is
plainly unjust. 1t must also be remem-
