clared that the proposed wage scale

speaking for the seamen, firemen.
cooks and stewards, declared that
there had not been time for the men

be acceptable, together with assuran.
ces that American citizens would be
given the preference i'll employment.
Chairman Benson agreed that there
had been some overtime retained but
asserted ii should be most carefully

Thompson. The owners he said, were
prepared TO act yesterday and were.
ready to act tomorrow in the event M

said, however. that he would report
the result of the Proceedings to the
