according to the complaint, Us president
and holder of 80 per cent OF the stock
in the Cosmos Petroleum Company,

Mr.. Kafka recites that the defendant
approached him regarding the purchase
OF material from his concern for pipe
line from the wells to the port. but an
nounced that the oil company had not
the money to pay for the material
Kafka said he drew up several plans for
the financing of pipe line company

which was finally adopted. Agreements
were made also, he recites, whereby Mr.
Alfonso was to sell rs per cent. of the
output of the wells to the New YORKER

MARINE ENGINEERS
Will DECIDE TO-DAY
To Take Action on Tenta-
tive Agreement Between
Benson and Committee.
ACCEPTANCE EXPECTED
Would End Strike as Far as
Shipping Board Vessels
Are Concerned.
PRIVATE OWNERS FIRM
Declare They Will Not Sign,
hut U. s. Officials Believe
They Will Compromise.
PRIVATE OWNERS FIRM

Marine engineers in all seaports af-
fected by the shipping strike will take
ecrIon to-day, local by local, upon the
tentative agreement arrived at In
Washington Friday between Admiral
Benson, chairman of the United States
Shipping Board, and the general strike
committee of the engineers. AS this
agreement is understood to include ac-
ceptance by the men of the 10 per
cent, wage cut insisted upon by Ad-
miral Benson, it is necessary that 1t
be submitted to a referendum of the
engineers entire membership because
the strike committee was not en-
powered to accept any proposals in
which wage cut figured. .e, ..-,.
Indications were last night that this
latest effort to end the strike will be
successful SO far as the ships of the
United States Shipping Board are con-
cerned. These constitute about four
sevenths Of American bottoms.
A despatch from Washington last
night said that Secretary Davis had left
for New York in the hope that he could
help induce the local unions of the
marine engineers to accept the agrea-
ment as to wages and working condi-
tions which the union leaders and the
Shipping Board have approved.
Unions at Tampa, Fla, according t
a despatch from there, will vote on the
G 10 l.,
the principal point being argued. ard
the most important point is that there
shall be no overtime work at sea uni sss
the safety of the vessel requires II.
Government officials said that they be-
lieved the private ship owners would
fall In line with the Shipping Board
agreement.
The private shipowners, however.
stated again yesterday that their posi-
tion remains unchanged. They assert
that they will never again sign an
agreement with the seagoing unions.
that they have 400 engineers now work.
Ing and would sooner shut down opera
tid1s altogether than to enter a compro-
mise agreement with the strikers. H.
II. Raymond, president of the American
Steamship Owners Association. de-
clared that even IL definite agreement
Is reached between the Shipping Board
and the engineers 1t will make no diff
ference In the attitude of his organiza-
ton.

probably mean that az least 900 Cow
ernment owned vessels now being oper-
ated by private owners will be returned
to the board. so per cent Of whose ships
were idle at the inception of the strike
a month ago
In New York 1t is possible that a
vote upon the compromise agreement
will result in a split both ways, because
of the antagonism between Local So.
composed chiefly of engineers on rail-
road and harbor craft, and Local 80,
which is a deep sea organization. The
leaders OF Local so. who are members
Of the strik~fcommittee, have been work
ing for a compromise settlement Local
33 has opposed withdrawal from the
original position.
The two locals will meet separately
this afternoon. Last Sunday in joint
meeting. they listened to compromise
proposals similar to those now under
consideration except for the lack of g
one year agreement clause. and ther
adopted resolution holding TO theil
| original position. Local oS Is the larger
organization.
