that would warrant a wage cut at this
time. An assessment on the wages of
the 1900 members of the Marine En-

levied to fight the proposed reduction.
The agreement between the marine
engineers and the American Steamship

Since January the steamsh ship owners
have sought to prevail upon the union
to accede to an abrogation of the
agreement and accept the proposed cut

to do.
The levying of the assessment nv

also insist upon renewal of the present
agreement after May l.
