Passenger Fares Will
Stay Up, Ship Men Say

No decrease in first class fares to
Europe is contemplated at present, Of
ficials Of transatlantic steamship lines
said yesterday in replying to reports
that further reductions were being con-
sidered. 1t was said that the cost of
operation of passenger liners is too
high to permit Of additional cuts in
rates. The North Atlantic conferences
recently have made severe decreases in
second and third class fares, averaging
from Is to % per cent. The rates be-
tween United Kingdom and European
ports also have been cut.

defraud the government in connection
with the purchase of the steamship
Liberty Land, was dismissed by Judge
Learned Hand In Federal District Court
yesterday when the prosecution rested
it's case.
Judge Hand said the government had
failed to produce sufficient evidence to
support its contention that the defend
ants had acquired the vessel for $215
instead OF 1920 per lightweight ton by
giving $4,000 bribe to n Shipping
Board employee. 1t was brought out
at the trial that the Liberty Land was
advertised for sale at the former figure.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-08

the new motor was said to be only a
fraction of the present form of Diesel,
and makes available the use of this
economical power for large, high speed
cargo and passenger ships.
In this Improvements Mr.. Spcrry
takes the existing Diesel or motor en-
gine as the basis, and utilizes tho
gases now going to the exhaust to moro
than double the power of tho propel-
the result of research extending over
number of years, and are said to
solve the problem of "compounding"
the use OF gases long considered diff
cult If not insurmountable.
Results Announced
An estimate of the cost and saving
of the discovery applied to an individ-
ual ship have been worked out by n
naval architect. Tho results, as an
nounced by Mr.. Sperry, are as follows:
"ln a moderately high-speod tanker
in the Atlantic service using about
4,oo0 shaft horse power, as compared
with the ordinary Diesel, there is a
saving in weight of about 400 pounds
to the horsepower, which would mean
an extra earning capacity for the
tanker of $120,000 year. The com
parison with a steam-driven tanker is
still more favorable, because in addi-
tion there is the earning capacity due
to the extra saving in tonnage of
fuel oil required, as compared with
that used under the boilers, giving
another item of $134,000 a wear, added
to which is $4,000 saving in the fuel
item itself, making in all 100000 to
be added to the $120,000 This makes
$340,000, or not far from the cost of
the entire equipment, or a 100 per
cent dividend annually. The saving
of personnel and subsistence. amount
ing to about $30,000, is an additional
saving over steam.
For Turbo- Electric Drive
Gas to the turbo-electric drive, a
comparison with a recent installation
of this type of 5000 shaft horsepower
for 17-knot ship gives the following
results:
"Steam electric propelling machin-
cry, 670 longs tons.
weight per shaft horsepower, 500
pounds.
weight Sperry compound and aux
iliaries, 85 long tons.
"Two lighting sets, ETC., 70 tons.
Gearing and electric clutches, Is
tons.
Tonnage saved for cargo, 5s5 long
tons.
weight per shaft horsepower of
plant, So pounds.
There is also saving of space
available for cargo of 2S,590 cubic feet
in favor of the compound geared drive
with electric clutches"

Steel Trust Makes Another
Cut in Wages

New York.-The millions of sur
plus the steel corporation piled up
during the war does not deter this
trust from leading in wage reduc-
tions.
Judge Gary has announced 10 per
cent cut, effective August 90 This
brings the rate of 46 cents an hour,
prior to last May, down to 30 cents
an hour, or $240 day for the eight
hour shift and $3.50 for the 12-hour
shift.
The latest cut is the third since
May 16, when 20 per cent reduction
was made, with assurances to these
unorganized workers that business
would respond and the mills would
quickly resume operations. Sixty
days later the time and one-half rate
for overtime was eliminated.
When the first cut was made last
May, the rate was $460 for 10-hour
day. This so-called "high" wage was
not specified by propagandists, who
led the public to believe that these
workers were paid a princely wage,
and tons of white paper were used in

CAN Be BOMBED
But Building of Battleships
Is to Continue

Washington. planes can sink
or seriously damage any vessel, but
the battleship is still the backbone of
the fleet and the bulk of the nations
defense.
This summarizes the report to the
secretaries of war and navy by the
joint board on the bombing tests held
recently off the Virginia capes. The
report gives the air plane credit for
sinking a German battleship in the
tests, and recommends that methods
be devised to offset the new offensive.
In this connection, the board says:
"Air craft carrying high capacity
high explosive bombs of sufficient
size can sink or seriously damage any
naval vessel as present constructed.
provided such projectiles can be plac-
ed in the water close alongside the
vessel
Furthermore, it will be difficult,
if not impossible, to build any type
of vessel of sufficient strength to
withstand the destructive force that
can be obtained with the largest
bombs that air planes may be able
to carry shore bases"
After stating that it may be sim
possible" to build battleships that car
withstand the air plane, the board de-
clares that battleships are still the
backbone of the fleet and the bul.
wark of the nations defense.
''The air plane, like the submarine
destroyer and the mine, has added tc
the dangers to which battle ships are
exposed, but these have not made the
battleship obsolete" it is stated.
The report urges the highest de-
velopment of air plane offensive ane
the speedy development of anti-craft
armament to offset advances by Other
nations in this mode of warfare.

COLORED WORKERS
UNITING

Washington.-At a conference in
the A. F. of L. building, presided over
by President Gompers, a plan was
outlined by which the Brotherhood of
Railway. and. Steamship. Clerks,
Freight Handlers, Express and Station
Employees will take over colored
workers now chartered directly by the
A. F. of L. Until the plan is finally
worked out the brotherhood will take
up or cause to be taken up the re-
duction of wages enforced upon a
number of colored workers in this
calling.
In order that the agreement may
be made effective as early as possi-
BILE, President Gompers and the
brotherhood officials were authorized
to take all necessary steps. Colored
workers, present at the conference,
signed the agreement

the campaign to impress upon Sne
public what a paradise the steel mills
are.
These workers are now confronted
with the problem of meeting hving
expenses for their families on q wage
of 80 cents an hour.
Judge Gary blames the price OF
steel for the wage cut. When ms
corporation was making the highest
profits in it's history it paid $4.6o
for a 10-hour day and at time when
the cost of living was l23 per cent
over prewar times. This $46O did
not permit steel workers to meet in
creased living costs, but now, when
steel prices go down, wages are re-
duced to nearly the prewar scale with
living costs still high.

COMPANY "UNION"
is ONLY TRICK

Washington is a most serious
matter for any organization of work
ers in any occupation to represent
themselves to be a trade union when
they are organized in the interest of
employers" says President Gompers,
in calling attention of A. F. of L.
afiliates to company union"
known as the National Vaudeville Ar
lists, Inc.
At the last A. T. of L. convention
it was shown that the National Vau-
deville Artists, Inc, is being used by
the Vaudeville Managers Protective
Association to defeat the legitimate
American Artistes Federation. Tes-
timony before the federal trade COM
mission sustain the charge that the
National Vaudeville Artists, Inc, is a
boss controlled union" and maintain
ed by theatrical managers.

 Meridian Miss, May 11.-(Special)- United States Deputy Marshal w. l.. Eshe, Deputy Sheriff A. E. McGee
 Justice of the Peace w. c. Culpepper
 Cons able c. s. Fountain and Special Deputy B. A. Eshe made a successful raid on two of the largest moonshine stills yet uncovered in this section, about II miles south of Meridian, in the mountainous country. The stills each were operating gallon capac- ity copper stills, vats and coils, and the surroundings bore every indication that a prosperous manufacturing white lightning business has been carried on for some time. Most of the parapher- nalia of the plant was destroyed, while the copper works were brought into the city and carried to the federal building where it was viewed by many citizens. When the plants were visited, none of the operators were present
 and as yet no arrests have been made, but several are likely in the course of lew hours, according to the raiders.

PROTEST ACT|ONOF
 EXPRESS COMPANY
Refuse to Accept Shipments at Transfer Points From
 Southeastern
By Associated Pres.

Knoxville Tenn, May 1l-A letter protesting the action of the American Railway Express company in refusing to accept shipments at transfer points from the Southeastern Express company, re- Cently organized, has been sent to the interstate commerce commission head quarters at Washington by the Knoxville Board of Commerce traffic bureau.
 On April 20 the American Railway Express company issued supplement to their tariffs prohibiting the acceptance of shipments from the Southeastern Ex- press company and this supplement was protested to the Georgia and Alabama state railroad commissions by the latter company and the shippers of these states. These two commissions issued orders preventing the American Railway Ex- press company from refusing to CO., operate with the new company in inter- etate shipments and making it compul- sory upon the two concerns To work. in harmony for the best interests of the shipping public.
 The Southeastern company appealed to the Interstate Commerce commission to remove the application of this routine rule; the American company and the commission denied the plea in so far as interstate traffic was concerned.
 The commission, however, declined to rule upon intrastate traffic and the sit uation was presumably cleared up by the rulings of the two state commissions, However, no action in the matter has as yet been ta-en by the Tennessee commission and the shippers are pro- testing over the costly layovers and adder express bils.

ALLISON TALKS WITH
 HIGH OFFICIALS AT NATIONAL CAPITAL
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-Hera
 H00 navtnsor n,,.IsIs,

Washington May II. - Charles T. Allison, Jerk of the federal court for the Northern district of Alabama aft CT weeks visit to Washington. re- turned to Birmingham last night. While here, he was received by the Fresldent, by the Attorney General and various other high officials of the government.
 MT. Allison was not directly con cerned with patronage although it Is regarded as possible that he take such matters, in an impersonal way. Wlth the President and Mr. Daugherty. He demonstrated the fact that he stands exceedingly high with the most distinguished republican politicians or the country.
 As result of MT. Allisons stay in Washington. two bills W re introduced one In the House and, the other in the senate, seeking to undo mistake made by previous Legislation some years ago. It was then enacted that any clerk of theacomt or other officer was precluded from seeking other em- ployment. Some districts are small and pay officers of & minor capacity small salaries. Su ,h officers, in other days, could secure other official busi- ness and manage to secure enough salary to warrant them in supporting their families. Since the legislation was passed, however, many much needed men, according to MT. Allison have been forced out of the service
 Another matter In which Mir. Allison was interested concerned first natural ization papers issued to about 5000 Alabama soldiers Just prior to the war Many Of these men have disappeared since the war, some being killed, oth- CTS wounded. and still others having located in other sections of the coun- try.
 MT. Allison has asked for official in- structions as to what he must do re- sarding these' papers. He thinks that wherever possible they shoulud be sent to the nearest relatives of the soldiers concerned. But of course, before talk ing saction, he will await the ruling.
