would shortly put into effect another
reduction in the wages of marine en-
ployees. They have been operating
since May / under the Id per cent re-

No confirmation OF this report was

it will result in sharp competition be-

American steamships and the vessels
owned by the United States Shipping

"The executive committee Of the
American Steamship Owners Associa-

full reconsideration in conjunction
with the representatives Of the Pacific
American Steamship Association and
the Shipowners' Association of the Pa
ciiic Coast it was resolved that while
we are anxious to cooperate with the
Shipping Board we regret that SO far
as privately owned steamships arc con-

dressed to Admiral Benson on the sub

which the reasons for adhering to the
declared policy of the association were
fully set forth"
The telegram referred to announced
the decision of the association never
again to enter into any agreement with
seagoing labor unions.
The result OF the settlement in
Washington with the Shipping Board
Will place some of the steamships in
an anomalous position. Some Of the
companies operate Shipping Board ves-
sells as we'll as those they own them
selves. Companies in this position will
be compelled to recognize the agree

they operate, while on their own YES
sells they will refuse the terms agreed

80 Law Degrees Conferred
War Responsible for the Small
Glass at N. Y. School

Thirty ID. 3. degrees were conferred
at the commencement exercises of the
New York Law School, in the Y. M.
C. A. building on Twenty-third Street,
last night. Professor Robert D. Petty
presided at the ceremonies and gave
out the prizes and diplomas.
The class graduated last night was
one of the smallest in the history of
the school. Americas entrance into
the war compelled a suspension in
191S-'19, and those upon whom degrees
were conferred were principally men
who had expected to finish their course
last year but were delayed by military
service. The present lowest class is
almost equal in size to those of pre-
war days, numbering over 200. Alder

SALT LAKE CITY, June 16.--Mem-
bers of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs, in convention here to-
day, discussed publicity in all it's
phases, and with one execution. all
speakers criticized the "man-edited
and man-managed" newspapers of the
country.
Mrs. Ida Clyde Clark, contributing
editor of The Pictorial Review. dis
cussed efficient publicity, declaring
that it was up to the women of the
country. to secure publicity for the
many things they are accomplishing.
She argued that men should paw the
bills in these days of the high cost

should provide the news to fill their
Mrs. Raymond Brown, of New York.
managing director of The Woman
Citizen, admitted that women did not
become factors in the newspaper world
until they gained strength through
politics, but insisted that the time
was coming when women journalists
would take hold of the editorial ends
OF the newspapers OF the country and
that from that time on they would
secure the publicity they deserved.
DR.. Aurelia Henry Reinhart, of Oak
land, Calf, criticized the manner Of
handling what she termed "unim-
portant" stories by newspapers, citing
recent robbery at Mills College, in
which she said the newspaper report
ers had pictured scantily attired
women of the institution chasing the
burglar across the campus. The rob-
berry occurred at q time when the
women were not so attired, she said,
and there was no chase. She declared
such stories tended to hurt not only
the writer, but the reputation of the
newspaper itself.
