SEE PLOT TO WRECK
AMERICAN SHIPPING
President of international Seamans
Union Issues Pamphlet to
Prove His Cause


New York, May 13.-AndreW Furu.
seth president of the international
Seamen's union, said in Washington
yesterday that he could prove the
stand Of the shipp ns board and Ameri
can Ship Owners association n their
wage spute with marine workers was
part Of all international plot to de-
stroy American shipping
Mr. Furuseth said he had tried to
get a personal hearing from a commit
tee Of Congress and from the presi
dent and tell them about the plot
and ia ling in that he had prepared a
tifty-iye page statement of facts
ana given them to members Of the
cabinet and other officers
THE shipping board, which is or
ganized to develop American sea pow.
err" his printed statement says,
"seems to accept and to follow the
policy of the snip owners and yet it
was under their policy n dealing with
the personnel that the American flag
vanished from the sea and American
shipping became substantially lin t.
ed to the coastwide trade
Mr. Furuseth called attention to the
milarity of wage proposals made al
most simultaneously by owners II var
ious countries. His main charge was
that the American Ship owner Mutual
Protection and Indemnity association
Inc, which the Emergency Feet cor.
poration joined, is a younger broth
err of the miar English organization
Its bylaws do not specifically provide
for insurance against strikes, but ac-
cord'ng to Mr. Furuseth that is how
it has been used in England and UNI
quest onably it viii be so used in
America
He argued that as a member the
Emergency Fleet corporation, controll-
ing about three-fourths of the Amer
can tonnage, will have to pay three
fourths of the cost of fighting labor or
CARNATIONS that seek to influence
wages or conditions on American YES
sells and that the money must come

which was becalmed on certain
Sland. The sailors, as is sin the GUS

themselves by fishing. Franklin wit
ncsStd the catching of the fish With
regret But soon there came to tanta-
li2e his noStHlS most allurlng odor
from the frying pan. SO, as Franklin
used to tell the story, he went over
his reasoning again to see If there was
not flaw in It.
II occurred to him that when the
tlSh We're opened he had seen smaller
fish IN their stomachs
"Ahw said Franklin "If you eat
one another | don't see why we may
not eat you!"
So Franklin dined upon the fish
very heartily, and thereafter ate what
others ale. When telling this story
Franklin ended with an observation
which is often attributed to TaIey
rand but which we are assured was
familiar joke with Franklin. This
was.

a new low for the year also in wheat
prices and q further advance in quo
tations for crude oil were the out
standing features in the financial SIT

marks became worth less than half
a cent. There was no fresh signif-
canee to the decline. however, beyond
what has been noted on previous
days-namely, that 1t refutes the res

that whatever basis there may be

Retail Stores. :, I
About month ago Retail Stores
stock was driven down in the face
of a generally steady market from
around 5s to around AB. 1t acted
much the same as 1t is doing now and
there was tbs same discussion about
the likelihood of the dividend being
reduced. When good-sised short
interest had been cultivated It was
FEiven out. through the usual news
agency chennels, that the Dividend
cutting report was lnfeunded. that
the 6 per cent was being earned and
that there was no reason to doubt
that it would be paid.
Thereupen the bears were given q
very sharp twist.
Remembering this, the trading ele-
mept is wary about following the
