the shipping board and American
steamship owners on a basis for read
justing wages and working conditions
in conference here today representa-
tives Of the unions announced that
they would lay their case before Pres
ident Harding.
Chairman Benson's proposal for a
Is per cent wage cut was rejected by
William S Brown, in behalf Of the
, Marine Engineers Beneficial Associa-
ton. which already has issued a
strike call for May /.
Andrew Furuseth, for the Interna-
tional Seamen's Union. asked that
the board and owners agree to certain
changes in working conditions, but
this was refused.
Mr. Furuseth then suggested that
the whole controversy be submitted
to President Harding for arbitration.
Chairman Benson rejected this pro-
posal. saying that the President was
already heavily burdoned. and that
il was for each one present to
shoulder his own responsibilities.
William A. Thompson. representing
the steamship owners. indorsed this
statement.
MIR. Furuseth then said that since
the conference had failed to come to
an agreement. there was nothing
more to be done. and the meeting
broke up.
After the meeting Mr. Furuseth in
vited Mr. Brown to go with him az
a committee OF all the marine workers
and lay their case before President
Harding.
The existing working agreements
between the Shipping Board, shin
owners and the marine workers ex-
pire tomorrow. While no strike order
has been issued by the seamen, union
leaders said that failure to reach a
wage agreement before expiration Of
existing contracts would necessa ,ily
mean general strike of workers

Bernstorff Says Criticism of Appeal

Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. April 29.-Criticism level
ed at the German cabinets appeal to
President Harding in the reparations
question was calculated to weaken
still further the position OF German
diplomacy abroad, declared Count Won
Bernstorff. former ambassador 10 the
United States. in his maiden speech
before the reichstag yesterday. Sup
porting the German note to Washing
ton. the former ambassador deprecat-
ed the temper of the debate.
The democratic party. to which l
belong" he said. has contemplated
with profound regret the discussion
going on in this parliament yeSter-
day and today. At time when the
fatherland is in dire distress. when we

ing Germany dismembercd or depriv-
ed of territory which is now coveted
IN the western quarters of Europe. To
expect far-reaching political aid from
the United States. l believe. would be
an error. The present issue. however.
is not purely political, but it involves
the principle Of firmly re-establishing
the solidarity of the interests of all
Nations
Proof Of this may be found in pre-
vaiiinS world conditions. The United
States is overstocked with raw ma
terials which we badly need. The
thought of solidarity of nations. how
ever. involves the principle that the
negotiations be conducted on basis
of equality. The imposition OF the
penalties with which we are threaten
ed would be tantamount to d resur-
rection Of the state of war.
EIeventh-lIOur Appeal.
Under these conditions. we feel we
were justified ip making an eleventh
hour appeal to arbitration. To this
end We proposed giving the United
States an opportunity to propagate
the principle to which its present. as
well as it's former administrations
have fully subscribed"
In the course OF his speech. the for
mer ambassador referred to American n
relief work carried on in Germany.
