Where the Trouble Lies

We had occasion recently comment upon effort of the railroads to the abrogation of tho agreement made under the United States railroad administration and then observed that this agreement rather than the increase of of employees contributed to the expense of opera tion This subject has been discussed by Hon. F. Ts C-arveIl K C., chairman of the Board of Rail- way Commissioner of Canada
 MT Carvel in a address at Ottawa before t, ,,en,bers of the Railway Club that city paid bis respects to William AIcAdoo He said that the McAdoo award the railwaymen was one of the ost iniauitous pieces legislation oised the neope of the States; that the award was based neither business nor sound economies but simply to get votes and he added--a thing which Mir nIcAdoo himself learned later-that even in that respect it failed
 MT. CarvelI believed that the scale of wages in . chadule was fair one but that the whole trouble lay in the working conditions by which it was possible for workers many of them, to draw twice the amount scheduled and. in many instances more than that This extra payernnt as he pointed out was due to the time and half allowance for o,,ertine under the award which meant that If a .. as -1ata and the agent called to work at .,r than the recognized for that time the o,t was to be paid under the McAdoo award time and haf

IN BABEL

Down here on the Lower East Side Is where I glad to abide
 For life has magic
 Both comic and tragic Down here on the Lower East Side. Though poverty rules, in the main, Life moves to rollicking straln
 Of bod-hearted laughter.
 Though trailing thereafter Come voices of hunger and pain. The bright multifarious crowd Is anything rather than cowed
 It laughs, loves and hates
 In despite of the Fates As it's polyglot speech rings aloud. Humanity swirls in tide Through streets that are narrow wide
 And it isn't despair
 That is dominant there For Hope rules the Lower East Side. Youth lives with it's visions and schemes Through all of this tumult that teens
 And age, and bent
 Still is dmly content Though there's nothing left of it's dreams, And you shall see pleasure and pride And love that will not be denied
 And courage and pluck
 That rise out of the muck And the sums of the Lower East Side. For hearts through the world are the same And burn with a similar flame
 And, in spite of their woe,
 In the Ghetto tbey know That life is pretty good game, And that's why I'm glad to abide In the flood and the swirl of the tide
 In the fret and the storm
 Of humanity's form Down here on the Lower East Side!

That the concrete roads of the Maricopa county program are models and new departures in road building is the opinion of all experts who have inspected them and men have come long distances to see them. Among the many was Lloyd Aldrich, con- sulting highway engineer of San Francisco and president of the Cal ifornia County Highway Engineers association. He was attracted chief ly by the new cross section which shows greater depth at the outer edges of the road than in the center.
 Mir. Aldrich, before leaving, after having been over the project, said that he had never seen better mate rial put into roads and certainly he had never seen any so carefully handled.
 Another inspector of the work was Chester N. Reitze district manager of the Portland Cement association who on his return to the coast sent the following letter to the county highway commission: Portland Cement Association, Los Angeles, Calif..

 The commission sat in a hearing yesterday when V. H. Anderson asked to be permitted to operate a stage between Payson and Roosevelt. The ! application was opposed on the ground that a line is at present in operation which has an every other day schedule. The present holder of the certificate testified that his line did not pay him and that the route could not possibly support two stage lines.

Marine Workers and
Shipping Interests
May Avert Tie-Up
Conferences Will Be Held
Next Week ON New Wage
and Working Agreement,
Which Expires MAY l

Differences between 10000 marine
workers on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts and shipowners over proposed
reductions in wage scales, which
threatened to tie up all American ship
ping on both seaboards beginning May
l., may be settled at conferences to be
held next week.
Members Of the Marine Engineers
Beneficial Association assert that they
have been informed unofficially that
to more than 80 per cent is contem-
plated. Thomas B. Healey, head of the
association, announced yesterday that
the marine workers, embracing unions
Of engineers, oilers, fremen, water
tenders, cooks and stewards, have sent
an ultimatum to the American Steam
ship Owners Association demanding
what attitude the owners would take
after May /, when the Atlantic Coast
agreement expires. The Pacific Coast
agreement expired April /.
Mr.. Healey said the workers on both
coasts had decided to pool their in
terests and demand a uniform work
ing agreement The Pacific Coast
workers are sending delegates to a
national conference of workers called
for next week.
"Not one cent reduction in the pres
ent wage scales will be acceptable, .
Mr.. Healey announced. "The ship
owners complain that it would be inn
possible to continue the present scales
and profit. Our contention is that they
should economize in their operating
expenses rather than by cutting down
the incomes of their employees"
The owners association includes the
owners of practically every ship sail
ing under the American flag. The Ship
ping Board, which is represented in
the association, controls about 1900
vessels, while 1900 vessels are con-
trolled by private owners.
The association held conference yes
terday at II Battery Place. Next
Wednesday WAS fixed for the first meet
ing between owners and employees. 1t
is expected that at that time definite
wage and working agreement to sup
plant the expiring agreements will be
placed before the men. II. H. Raym ond,
president of the association, said the
conference voted 48 to to open nego-
tiations with the men.

British Vessel
Values Under
Cost of Repair
One Ships Valuation Cited
as 100000 Less Than
Was Expended Recently
on Alterations to Her
Ex.Enemy Tonnage Drug
Shipping Board Report Says
Much Better Undertone
Is Beginning to Appear

Little perceptible change for tn,
better in the British shipping and
shipbulding industries has occurred
recently. although much better
undertone has been noticeable, saws a
report to the Shipping Board from its
European representatives. Continued
laying up Of tonnage is reported to b,
having slight effect in the way of
better business in the proportionate
amount Of cargo handled in certain
sections.
The chaotic state Of European finance,
ss reflected in exchange, it is
stated, aggravates the British shipping
problem, and it is pointed out that
the establishment of readily work
able European trade credits system
would without doubt ultimately bring
about greater demand for tonnage with
q revival in freights.
Ship Value Less Than Repairs
No improvement has been shown in
the market for cargo vessels in the
United Kingdom. and little or no in
ouiry has been forthcoming from
British or foreign buyers.
As an example of the slump and
the inflated cost of repairs at the
present time recent case is cited in
which the value of a vessel after over
haul was about $1,000 900 less than the
amount expended on repairs to the
ship.
Little success attends the sale of ex-
enemy steamers, which is still under
way in the United Kingdom. Owners
of other tonnage are showing no in
terest while freight rates have con-
tinued to be unremunerative. There
has been much criticism in the British
press relative to the sales Of these
vessels to foreigners, "but," says the
Shipping Board report, "the wide
spread fear that Germany may get
back some of her surrendered tonnage
will prevent any change in policy"
Tonnage Offered Cheap
Present tonnage values are illus
trated by actual offerings in the United
4,266 deadweght tons, built in 1899
by British builders, is available at
100000 or offer, or approximately s4
10 shillings ton. A 4,75O-ton tanker
built in 1901, which recently passed
survey has been offered at e25 ton,
or any reasonable offer.
Three other vessels have been on
the market, the price quoted being
100000, but it is said that an offer
as low as $4,000 would no doubt be
accepted. These include cargo vessels
of $3.50 tons, 6,25s tons and 1000
tons, respectively, a total of 19,10S
tons, or. at the f75,0O0 figure, less
than 81 a ton
Activities in the shipyards of the
United Kingdom continue to slacken,
although there is still fair amount
of employment. The number of ship
building contracts cancelled since last
April, however is stated to have been
70 per cent in excess of the new or
ders received during the same period
