WASHINGTON, June 13-Terms of
an agreement on wages and working
conditions for engineers on Shipping
Board vessels, reached in conferences

mral Benson, former chairman Of the
board, and representatives Of the
Marine Engineers Beneficial Associa-
ton, were approved to-day by Chair
man Lasker and will be signed to-
morrow, according to statements of off,
cials of the Department Of Labor, W.
S. Brown, president of the engineers
association, and officials of the Ship
ping Board.
Brown already has affixed his sigma
ture to copies of the agreement, it was
announced at the Department of Labor,
and Chairman Lasker. who assumed
office to-day, will sign tomorrow for
the board it was said.
After announcement had been made
that the engineers had reached an
agreement with the board Secretary

tives CT the seamen, tiremen, cooks and
stewards and radio operators to meet
him for conferences on similar terms
of settlement Of their grievances re-
sulting from q reduction of wages put
into effect May by the Shipping Board
and private ship owners.
Terms of Agreement
The terms provide for Is per cent
reduction of wages and elimination of
overtime and are to remain in effect
until April 80, 1922. The matter OF
reinstatement Of men who refused to
accept the cut and left their jobs, it is
understood, is left for as fair as pos
sible adjustment separately.
While the private ship owners, many
of whom operate Shipping Board yes
sells, SO far have refused to enter into
a years agreement with the men, it is
understood that government officials
are hopeful that they will follow the
action of the Shipping Board.
"The strike would have been settled
a month ago if two radical leaders
among the marine engineers had not
prevented" Secretary Davis said to-
day. "Their influence delayed the set
tlement until the engineers now are
forced to accept terms that amount tc
per cent greater loss than they
would have sustained had they taken
the advice of w. S. Brown, their presi-
dent, who urged them to go back tc

CHICAGO, June 13.-"Big TIM
Murphy foremost labor leader in Chi
cago since the assassination of "Mossy"
Enright, and for whose murder he
was once charged, and who also was
indicted last February in connection
with the Pullman mail robbery, was
rearrested to-day by Postal Inspectors
in connection with the robbery Of
registered mail sacks at the Polk
Street station.
Late tonight postal inspectors raided
the home of Murphys father in-law,
William Diggs, and found trunk
filled with money and bonds, the money
in neat packages of new bills. There
alone, it is said. Besides this the in
spectors found other large sums of
money hidden under mattresses and
other places around the house.
After the Pullman mail robbery, Aug
ust 20, 1920, Postal Inspectors arrested
Murphy and six witnesses are said to
have positively identified him. Their
names were not made public. The gov
ernment wanted no one to tamper with
them. Murphy was released on $4,000
bonds, but the government went on
with it's case. A few days ago the in
spectors learned trunk had been de-
livered at the Diggs house. Murphy
was quietly taken into custody this
afternoon and detectives surrounded
the Diggs residence and conducted a
search.
While it was in progress Murphy ap-
peared in company of detectives. He
was bland as usual 81 can explain all
this" he asserted. "Why it's nothing
at all"
Three hours later confronted by what
was called overwhelming evidence,
Murphy is said to have made con-
fession at the Government Building
that he had acted as receiver Of the
bonds and money stolen in the Polk
Street mail robbery. The authorities
will now question Vincenzo Cosmano,
Murphy's hight hand man, also said to
have been identified as one of the Pull
man mail robbers and who was once
charged with completely in the murder
OF Enright.
Big Tim," once a member of the
Illinois Legislature, silk shirted di-
rector general of the Garbage Handlers
& Streetsweepers, began about two
years ago to achieve his ambitions for
power and wealth. He organized the
gas workers union, demanded 33 per
cent. increase for them and got it,
Since then he has exercised almost un-
limited power, using the labor unions
to achieve his demands.

League Calls ON U. S. to Say
Whether 1t Intends to Join

PARIS, June 13 (By The Associated
Press) The United States government
has been reminded through diplomatic
channels that the League of Nations
has received no answer to its invita-
hon to the United States to send rep
resentative to discuss mandates.
Both the Class A and man
dates are on the agenda for the meet
ing of the Council of the league, to be
held in Geneva June II.
There are two tendencies inside the
League of Nations with regard to the
question of mandates. One is to refer
the whole question back upon the prin-
cipal powers which negotiated the Yer
sailles Treaty and are responsible for
the attribution of the mandates. The
contention Of those holding this view
is that the league really exercises no
initiative regarding mandates and has
only to do with the approval of terms
and the supervision Of administration
Of territories under the terms of the

Sleeper Killed
BY Gas Pumped
Into Steamship
-Four Other Unwarned Men
Overcome by Poisonous
Fumes Used to Disinfect
Royal Mail Liner Orduna
kescuer Becomes Victim
Sufferers Not Missed When
Rollcall of Grew is Held
ON a Hudson River Pier

Albert White, chief baker aboard tho
steamship Orduna of the Royal Mail
Steam Packet Line, locked at Pier As.
Barrow Street and the North River
was killed by cyanide gas in a below
decks berth yesterday afternoon. Four
other members of the crew were taken
ashore unconscious. Sidney Cook, one
OF the rescued, is in critical condi-
tion at st. Eincent's Hospital. Ed
ward Smart, John Jeffries and Fred
Lee, also at st. Vincent's, will recover.
Deck officers made the rounds of
the Orduna at o'clock, ordering all
ashore for ship disinfection. When it
was thought that the order had been
complied with members of the crew
pumped cyanide gas into all compart-
ments below decks, fumes permeating
every part of the ship.
A few moments before the "all
ashore" order was issued White and
his subordinates had descended to
cabin on the starboard side below the
waterline and. gone to sleep. Absence
Of the men was overlooked when roll
was called on the dock.
Watchman Gives Alarm
AS the crowd ashore waited orders
to go on board again, Fred Lee, a deck
watchman, staggered to the port rail
and waved for help, He then disap-
peared below, and when found by q
rescue party few minutes later had
succeeded in dragging Smart, who was
unconscious, half up stairway, where
he collapsed, overcome by fumes. A
rescue party dragged the other three
men on deck and transferred them to
the dock, where medical aid was OBJ
tanned. St. Vincent's Hospital sur
peons pronounced White dead The
others were given emergency treat
ment and removed to the hospital.
Lee, who was first to smell gas as
he lay in his bunk, told F. W. Cham
bers. chief steward, in charge of the
fumigation, that he had tried to arouse
the other four men before running for
help, but found it impossible to awaken
them. He dragged Smart from bunk
Just below his own and carried him in
an unconscious state to the foot of a
companionway, where fumes compelled
him to drop his burden. 1t was then
that he ran to the deck and summoned
help before renewing efforts to save
Smart.
Volunteer Rescuers
Ten men in a volunteer rescue party,
their heads swathed in wet cloths, went
to the second deck and found Sidney
Cook, face down. where he had been
overcome. Ten feet away Jeffries also
was living, unconscious.
DR.. Cassassa, of the Medical Exam
iner's office, held an inquest on board
the Orduna. 1t was said witnesses told
him no warning had been given the
men below that fumigation was about
to begin.
Officers of the vessel said that all
usual precautions had been taken be-
fore the powerful disinfectant was
pumped into the hold. The fact that
White and his helpers had been seen
on deck few minutes before fumiga-
tion began was said to have led to the
belief they we're ashore.
White lived at 13 Grove Street, Cha
pelle Road, Southampton. England. He
leaves wife and eight children. The
other victims, all Englishmen, lived in
Southampton, the Orduna's home port.

The five men indicted on charges of

connection with the abduction of five
yearold Giuseppe Varotta, whose body
was found on the shore of the Hudson
River Saturday, were held in s1oo 900
bail each yesterday by Judge Mcintyre
in General Sessions.
Assistant District Attorney Fred

support charges Of murder against
them would be presented to the grand
jury at the earliest possible moment.
1t was the first time, SO far as the
records Of the District Attorneys Of

that kidnapers had carried out their
death threats.
He said it was known that for ve,rs
these same men had been blackmailing
persons in and around New York. Jo-
seph S. Rosalsky, as counsel for the
accused, entered a general plea of not
guilty to the indictments and the five
prisoners were committed to the Tombs

KEaHaele, James Ruggieri, Antonio
Marino, Santo Casamano and John

mandates decided upon. The French
government is understood to favor mod
ifcation of the terms Of the mandates
to meet the American views, while
Great Britain opposes this.
The other tend-s cy is to consider
that the United States has defaulted by
not sending a representative to the
League of Nations, as she was invited
to do, and finally accepting the terms
Of the Class A and B mandates. Those
favoring this tendency profess to re-
gard the failure of the Washington
government to reply to the invitation
TO attend as equivalent to abandonment
Of the American protest.
The colonial Offices of the various
countries are interested in bringing
pressure for an early solution of the
question of mandates. The British ap-
pear to be particularly anxious to close
up the matter on account of the situa-
ton in Mesopotamia. The French CO.
lonial authorities also are urging a
prompt settlement. 1t is not quite clear
however, when the question of man
dates will come up.

Allies Sure Germans .Junked
Bio Guns That Shelled Paris

MANY alleges they were destroyed with
instructions to verify the claim.
The latest fortnightly report on dis
armament shows the destruction OF
large quantities of field guns. machine
guns, machine gun parts and shells.
The outstanding figures follow:
Guns destroyed, $4,000. OF these the
Germans claim 8.618 were destroyed
before the commission took charge, but
these figures have not been checked or
verified.
Shells surrendered or destroyed, 3O.-
059,946, with 3,456,S88 still to come
Machine guns destroyed, 1886, with
1855 still to come. The Germans also
claim to have destroyed 1000 additional
machine guns prior to Allied control
Definite proof of this is not available
but the claim is regarded as correct.
Small arms destroyed. 3,716,S43. with
1872 ,44S still to come.
There are still between 1900 and
1000 fortress guns to be surrendered
rnaking about 1900 guns still to be ac'
counted for; 1000 Of these will appear
in the next report. VI

BERLIN, June 13.-Germany's seven
Big Berthas, which bombarded Paris
from a distance of seventy-five miles
and whose whereabouts since the war
have been almost as great mystery
as the secret of the guns power, are
believed to have been destroyed in
order to keep their mechanism from be-
coming known to the Allies. 1t was
intimated to-day at the Offices of the
Inter-Allied Disarmament Commission
thet there is no reason to doubt the
truth of the recent German claim that
the guns had been scrapped Earlier
it had been reported that the Big
Ber.has were hidden in some German
seacoast fortress.
Should any question arise as to
whether the Germans actually destroyed
the guns, it was said, the Allies will

LONDON, June 13-Premier BRAND
has great hopes of enlisting President
Harding in the formation of an alli-
ance of France, Great Britain and the
United States which might be regarded
as forming the nucleus of an associa-
ton of nations, it was learned in
French official circles here to-day. 1t
was learned also that France has
abandoned all idea Of an alliance with
England unless America is party to it.
French objection to an alliance with
England is based on her disapproval
Of the British policy toward Russia,
and also fear that developments in the
Near East will lead to a Mahometan
uprising.
If the French can obtain the adhe
sion of America thev believe the Brit
ish policy can be checked. That is the
French angle of the present tangled
diplomatic situation. The British value
an alliance with France in SO far as it
will serve as a check on the French
policy toward Germany and the Near
East.
Germany Only Beneficiary
1t begins to look as if the only coun-
try which will benefit by all this po-
litical and diplomatic maneuvering
will be Germany, with wnom both Eng
land and France seek to establish trade
relations beneficial to themselves. The
British are interested particularly in
the conference at Wiesbaden of Hugo
SHINES, the German industrial mag
nate, and other German leaders with
M. Loucheur, French Minister OF Dew
astated Regions. The British see in
this the possibility Of a Franco Ger
man trade agreement, and they think
that America will be invited to co.
operate.
The Supreme Council Of the Allies
may gradually become as impotent %
the League Of Nations, with govern
ments reaching their real understa nd
lngs through diplomatic exchanges.
