Ship Men and
Board Take Up
WageReduction
Joint Action Expected al
Further Meetings on De-
crease for American Sea-
men; Per Cent Undecided
British Cut II a Factor
Drop i'll Cost of Living Is
Considered in Getting
New Scale Into Effect

Reduction in the wages OF officers
and crews on American vessels was
discussed Yesterday at joint confer
cnce of Stripping Board officials and
the American Steamship Owners Asso-
citation. While no definite decision was
reached, the sentiment expressed by
speakers was that a decrease must be
made 70 enable United States shipping
to compete on more equal terms with
foreign fleets. Further conferences
viii be held To determine the action TO
be taken.
One factor considered seriously by
tbc steamship mcN was the impending
cut m the pay of British officers and
Ssamen. Latest information received
from ENGLAND is that the present nego-
t!stlons between the owners and labor
IGon Will result IN drop Of probably
two pounds sterling in the wages OF
seamen in January and another pound
on March /. This would bring the pay
OF Britisher down from $4S 10 $50 a
month. The American scale is S72.50
for seamen.
Another argument offered in favor OF
a wage reduction was that the British
owners were pressing decrease de-
spite the fact that there has been
little, if any, drop in the cost of living,
which has gone down derably in
the United States.
The percentage of pay reduction was
not discussed. according to shipping
men who attended. The owners previ-
ously had reached 4 tentative under
standing on Is per cent cut, but this
figure has practically been discarded d
n view of recent developmcnts. 1t was
reported that, while the Shipping
2oorS ard O,rOorc NOT orrooJ
20 take joint action, the probability OF
this has been greatly increased as a
result of the meeting.
No effort is anticipated to equalze
the wages of American and British
scamen, but the opinion of several
speakers yesterday was that a reduc-
ton should be made in proportion to
'hat abroad.
The following statement was issued
by the American Steamship Owners
Association after the meeting, which
was behind closed doors:
Commissioner T. V. O'Connor of the
dent j. W. Powell and Vice President
\. ], Frey of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration. j. c. Jenkins, acting director
Of the Division OF Industrial Relations
OF the Shipping Board and Captain |.

Aboardship of the American Steam
ship Owners Association, at the of
ice of the association, IL Broadway,
New York, with regard to uniform
scale OF wages for officers and seamen

ping Board steamers in ocean trade
This is the first of these conferences in
an endeavor TO fix uniform rates of pay
Tor the American merchant marine.
There Will be other conferences later

QUESTION: The dealer bids diamond. and
it transpires later that he held ace and
king blank. A bets he should have passed
as he had not the length to justify the bid
The dealer bets that the time to show his
tricks is while it is cheap, as it might take
too high bid on the second round.-P. s. +.
Answer: Some persons will not call any
suit that they are not willing to play as the
trump; others treat the minor suits as for as
slstance or defence only. If there is not
another high card in the hand. some one is
surely going to overcall diamonds The
shorter the ace-king suit, the more certainty
