MAIL S. S. co. HAD
WEIRD RDRELATIONS
Port Elizabeth Navigation
Company's Fleet of One
Schooner Sold at Loss.

Further examination OF Stuart McIn-
tosh. treasurer of the United States
Mail Steamship Company. before John
B. Johnston. special master in bank
ruptcy proceedings. yesterday disclosed
close relationship between the company
and about twenty other corporations all
organized and directed by practically
the same men, Charles Ma. er, Francis
r. Mayer. Timothy Burns and McIn-
: tosh. Several OF the corporations, it
was shown, had merely existed on
paper, and had never done any busi-
ness.
The Port Elizabeth Navigation COM
pany owned schooner named the Bet
sy Ross which 1t was forced to sell
at a heavy loss owing to the fact that
no cargo was available at Singapore
when she was there in 1919. The Si-
berlan Navigation Export Corporation
may continue in business IL large
amount of goods which the corporation
owns in Vladivostok Is sold by its
agent there and providing business
picks up, Mr.. Mcintosh said. Several
Of the other companies are in receivers
hands, according to the testimony.
Henry G. Seipp. attorney for the re-
ceivers. questioned Mr.. Mcintosh closely
about the affairs of the Swiftsure Oil
and Transport Company, Of which the
witness had been vice-president. 1t
developed that the United States Mall
Steamship Company was owed $4,000
by Swiftsure Oil, although. according
to Mr.. Mcintosh. the two companies
had had little business to transact with
each other. This was at a time, it was
testified. when the transport company
was unable to operat9 at sufficient
profit to pay interest ron the notes and
mortgages held against it's fleet Of
seven tankers.
Mr.. Mcintosh denied, however, that
it had been financially unwise to allow
the debt of $4,000 to accumulate, as the
Swiftsure Oil was backed by powerful
banking interests In Boston, who. held
notes for $4,400,000.
The proceedings will be resumed next
Thursday at 2 clock

STEEL EXPORT RATES
5 CUT 2lc. NEXT YEAR
Some Traffic NolU Dia Allan
tic viii Go to Pacific.

Rail rates on iron and steel shipped
from the Chicago and Pittsburgh dis
tricts for export to the Far East
through Pacific Coast ports will be re-
duced q cents per hundred pounds soon
after the first of the year, according TO
advices received by Caldwell & Co, for
eign freight brokers. From the Chicago
district the new transcontnental export
rate will be so cents per hundred
pounds, and from the Pittsburgh terri
tory 80 cents per hundred pounds.
Under the iron and steel rail and
ocean rates now in force Atlantic ports
enjoy a considerable differential over
Pacific ports, and shipments are routed
entirely by way Of the Eastern seaboard.
Under the new rates IL will be cheaper
to ship from Chicago and Birmingham
Ala. by way of Seattle or San Fran
cisco, whereas there will still be. an
advantage in sending shipments from
Pittsburgh or Youngstown. Ohio, oy
way of Atlantic or Gulf ports. The new
rates, therefore, will tend to effect a
division of the traffic.

the establishment of a ship subsidy pol

details of subsidy proposals. The

One of the obstacles toward preferen-
tial treatment of American vessels by
the Government lies in series of
treaties negotiated with other maritime
nations forbidding such action, and al
though the merchant marine aot os 1919
contained mandatory Instructions that
all such treaties be abrogated. President
Harding is expected to inform Congress

Reject Reduction.

Thomas B. Healy, general manager OF

citation, in statement yesterday said
that the 10000 engineers represented by
the association were unanimously op-
posed to any reduction in the present
wage scale. as reported under considera-
ton by the American Steamship Owners
Association.
Healey said that the marine engineers
would await the outcome of the confer
ence to be held in Washington December
12 at the invitation of the Shipping
Board before deciding on a course Of
action. Marine workers will be repre-
sented at the conference and the ship
owners have been invited to attend. But

1.-THE attitude Of other marine workers

said. Should a general strike of the

thrown out by the controversy whether
they favored strike or not"

The marine engineers took the initiative
in the strike last spring in which all the
organizations participated. The men
were decisively defeated and wage cut
of Is per cent was at once put into
effect by the ship owners and the Ship
ping Board. Another result of the strike
was that private American ships were
placed on an open shop basis and the
men lost the privilege of treating with
