WORKING ON PLANS
 FOR SEASONAL RATE

Washington. June 4.-Plans for a voluntary agreement between the rail- roads to establish seasonal rates on coal to relieve congestion and conse- quent high prices during the winter months are being worked out by Secre- tary Hoover with the carriers. it was said tonight.
 According to the secretary's views changes in the freight rates structure to effect a more even coal movement throughout the year could be ordered by the interstate commerce commits sion without general disturbance of rate levels upon agreement between the railroad.
 The administration Is understood to have advanced the argument that since the government itself is a heavy pur- chaser of coal, the effect of the move- ment of It's fuel at seasonal rates would stimulate the summer traffic, and at the same time reduce the win- ter tonnage.
 Further steps towards seasonal rates, 1t was said, probably would be taken at conference here next week of rep resentatives of the coal industry, Sec retary Hoover and Senator Freling- huysen of New Jersey, who has measure pending before Congress to reduce rates on coal.

SMALL BOAT SAVES
329 FROM RAPIDS
Many Honeymooners Among
Passengers on Boat Wrecked
In ST. Lawrence
CAPTAIN PROVES HERO

0gdnsburg, N. V. July Is. A
small boat connected with land by a
heavy cable hauled 800 tourist pas
scngers through the raging waters OF
the st. Lawrence River to safety yes
terday from the steamship Rapids King
Of the Canada Steamship Line, which
went on the rocks Saturday in the Long
sault Rapids.
The cable was attached to the tiny
craft because It was feared that II the
boat were turned loose. or even had
q large boat been used, the churnins
waters would have swept II away.
Becauee of the dangerous current the
passengers were being taken off at the
rate OF only about twenty or thirty ar
hour. No lives were lost.
Ship Beached in Rapids
When the rudder chain broke the
vessel had Just passed through what IL
known as the cellar" Of the Rapids.
The current was so strong-it was es-
timated at sixteen miles an hour-that
the big boat was turned completely
around and hole torn in a forward
compartment before she was beached.
The steamship listed slightly TO star
board.
Captain Batten, of the Rapids King,
one OF the oldest pilots on the river. had
q small boat launched with two sailors
as companions and personally under =
took to make a landing and send for re-
lief Persons aboard the steamship
shrieked as the tiny craft was tossed
about by the eddies, but finally a safe
landing was made on the Canadian
shore. The wreck was at q point sparsely
inhabited and It was not until early
evening that the news Of the accident
reached here.
Many Honeymooners
Passengers, the majority OF whom were
tourists, including several newly mar
ried couples. were thrown into a small
panic when the accident occurred. Cap
tain Batten and members Of the crew,
assisted by two Sisters Of Charity, were
prompt TO quiet and reassure them.
Passengers passed an anxious night
and few even attempted to procure any
sleep. At late hour several large
searchlights were arranged on shore and
played upon the stranded vessel. The
same lights were used last night in as
sisting the work OF disembarking the
passengers.
As soon as word WAS received that the
vessel was In distress farmers for miles
around hurried to the scene and at
tempted to reach the vessel by small
boats, but their efforts were unsuccess
full. Late Saturday night line wa.
, thrown from Barnhardts Island aboarf
the vessel and heavy cable stretched
from the ship to the shore.
Work of rescue began at s O'Clock
this morning. A lifeboat capable o
holding seven passengers, the captain
and two members of the crew. wai
attached to the cable. The boat ther
was hauled ashore by twenty men anc
then back by windlass aboard tn,

hour were made, and for long tim'

Captain Batten insisted on making
every trip.
At the point on the island where the
landing was made the shoreline Is so
precipitous that II was necessary to cut
steps in the bank and erect a temporary
landing.
AS soon as passengers were landed on
the island, which Is about six miles long
three wide and is uninhabited, they

end and ferricd across to Cornwall,

boat. but the majority apparently pre-
ferred to complete their journey by rail.
The Rapids King. which representa-
tives Of owners said today would be
abandoned, was built especially for use
on the st. Lawrence and running
the rapids, and was built to accommo-
date 400 passengers and large crew.
