Object to War Vessels
Protecting Oil Barons
(By Federated Press)

Washington-Samuel Gompers, in
his capacity as president of the Pan
American Federation of Labor, and
Acting President Fechner of the In
ternational Association of Machinists
have made formal protest to the state
and navy departments against the
sending of American warships to
Tampico to overawe the locked-out
oil workers.
This protest was made at the in
stance of E. C. Dawson, secretary
treasurer of the International Associ-
alton of Machinists, who is now in
Mexico in attendance at the conven-
tion of the Mexican Federation of
Machinists.
British oil operators in the Tampicc
district, according to information
here, have paid the recent increase in
export taxes on oil, and are steadily
operating. Only the American COM
panies, encouraged by hopes that Sec
retary OF the Interior Fall would be
able to make good his past pr.mis rs
of American intervention, resisted the
tax collection by locking out 10000
men and then refusing to pay them
the three months wages required by
law for such dismissals.
Secretary Hughes earlier efforts
seemed to have been to avoid tlouble
over Mexican OIL but the hand of
Under-Secretary Henry P. Fletcher,
who is a close associate of Fall, is
seen in this naval demonstration. The
Hughes who suddenly "fell. down" on
his Russian trade sympathies nov
seems to have collapsed before the
pressure of the American Petroleum
Institute.

ACCEPT REDUCTION

Scranton, Pa.-Accepting a de-
crease in pay of 1917 per cent but
with promises of better working con-
ditions employees of the Scranton and
Binghampton Electric Railroad voted
to return to work after having been
on strike since April 18 in protest
against wage reduction. Among
the conditions gained by the men are
seniority rights for trackmen, who
also will get rubber raincoats, time
and half for overtime for trainmen
and an allowance of two and half
hours pay to men who report at the
car barn but are not given a run.

Strikebreaking Crew
Nearly Wrecks Vessel
(By Federated Press)

New York-According to cable dis
patches from Italy, passengers on the
American steamer Pocahontas will
long remember their voyage from
this city to Naples. The thrilling
tale would have a fitting climax if il
stated that the vessel was completely
manned by strikebreakers, recruited
by the sea service bureau OF the
United States shipping board.
On leaving New York the strike
breakers in the engine rooms had
trouble with the machinery, and the
vessel was forced to put into Boston,
where she collided with a pier. Start
ing across the Atlantic, she drifted in
mid-ocean for days in an effort to re-
pair the machinery, finally landing at
the Azores where the engines were
patched up. Naples was reached
after 43 days at sea.
Cables from Italy state that the
crew was insubordinate and that the
engine room was half filled with
water which caused the ship to list.
bringing additional terror to the
passengers.
All the dining room spoons were
stolen, ashes were discovered in the
dynamo, the rudder was disabled, and
fresh water spigots opened. On one
occasion two port holes were opened
and the inrushing water destroyed
large quantity of supplies.
This portion of the ships daily re-
port indicates the trials of the officers
with this "free and Independent"
crew:
"June 14-All the boiler pumps
stopped and all fires but one are out.
Water continues to flood the engine
room. Alfred B. Pablo placed in irons
for refusing to obey orders, and
Louis Prewath, oiler, imprisoned for
abandoning his post"
The ships record is a continuous
story of incapacity, insubordination
and destruction on the part of the
strikebreakers, but the cables make no
mention of the conditions under
which the crew was shipped.

railway labor board made a prelim-
mary announcement forecasting a gen.
eral reduction OF wages on every rail-
road, effective July 1. On June I the
board will make its decision on wage
disputes tiled prior to April IL, and
this will set the standard for all fu-
cure decisions affecting the two million
employees who were granted a $780,
OOO,OOO annual wage increase one year
ago. The reduction may be as much
as II per cent. An immediate result
Of the announcement was the re-
employment Of 5000 men by the Chica-
go 4 Alton, and there were predic-
lions that practically all Of the $50
600 railway men now out Of work

negotiations.

to Its proceeding with the peace with
