May 1 Threatens
 Tie-Up in sb 'ig
Negotiations Between Ship Owners and Marine Work
 CTS Has Been Abandoned,

Washington, April 29.-A general tie up of all shipping at American ports ex- cept on the Great Lakes on May l ap- peared imminent today after negotiations between the shipping board. steamship owners and marine workers. had been abandoned as result of the refusal of the employe sto accept 15 per cent. wage reduction.
 A last effort to avert a final breach be- tween the employers and marine workers was made late today when Chairman Benson of the shipping board and repre- sentatives of the marine unions called separately at the White House, to lay lay their cases before the president. Previously the chairman and the ship owners had, rejected proposal by An drew Furuseth, resident of the Interna- tional Seamen's union. to submit the whole question to President Harding for arbitration.
 Chairman Benson declined to discuss his visit to the White House, but the union representatives, in theI absence of the president. left a report and a prayer l in behalf of all the workers submitting l the matter to him. They later announced fGat they would return to the White l HoSse tomorrow in an effort to see the president in person. The union repre- sentatives also called on Secretary Hoover but received, they said. no assurances oi action on his part.
 The break in negotiations came after { final conference called by Chairman Ben son to consider new wage and working agreements. In offering his plan for ar

PRINTERS AND EMPLOYERS
 HAVE FAILED TO AGREE

Washington April 2S.-Hope for a set- tiement by national agreement of disputes between printing trade unions and en- ployers over wages and hours was absn- dcned today by Secretary Dayis after a series of separate conferences vita both sides.
 Union representatives left the city without having been requested to return. Lack of an organization of printing em- ployers authorized to sign any national agreement was given by Secretary Davis as his reason for abandoning his attempt to replace the local agreements between the men and employers which expire May 1.
 Settlement of disputes is now in the hands of the various employers and the i local unions, the secretary said. Some of them have been settled by agreement on the part of the employers tc recognize a l A hour week. which is the main point at issue in most cases
 It was explained at the office of the American Federation of Labor today that other local a agreements may be reached by ate wage reductions upon the changs from the 4s-hour to the A hour week This principle, officials said,q had previ. ousiy been followed in efforts to bring a reduction from the 1e-hour to the S. hour day.
 Representatives of printing concerns 1T the east. middle west and south wer, here today at the request of the secretary but informed that they were not author
 ized to speak for any concerns but theil own.h Disputes between them and their employees were different in eacl case the secretary said.

bitration by the president. MT. Furuseth said:
 We are willing to submit this whole thing in it's absolute entirety, without res ervation, to the president of the United States, and we will accept his decision as organizations and will go to every one of our members and plead with them to loy- ally abide by anything that he decides, and that is all we can do"
 The offer was rejected by the chairman and by w. A. Thompson for the ship owners.
 Men of America, men of thu United States" Chairman Benson said. we are supposed to be the supporters and aid of the, president of the United States. We are supposed not only to carry our own burdens, but to help him carry his. I, for one, will not add one iota to the bur- den he is already carrying. We are re- sponsible citizens. I trust all of us are of America, and it is for us to aid the president. In attempting to carry this question to him. which you should decide and which is your responsibility, you are shirking your responsibilities as American citizens" Upon the rejection of his proposal, MT. F'uruseth declared there was nothing more to do but appeal to the president, and the conference came to an abrupt end.
 In statement tonight, Chairman Ben son said:.
 The shipping board has endeavored to meet the men in the fairest and most | conciliatory spirit. It is. however, deep- 1 ly conscious of it's obligations to the peo- pie of the United States to protect their interests in the people of the merchant marine. It is reluctantly compelled te meet with all the resources at its com mand the situation which confronts it.''

tinct district for rzte-msking purpoaas has been resisted heretofore by tae New England public. will be resisted hereafter, and ought. in our opinion. to be objected, to upon every occasion when it is proPos- ed. lt seems 10 us that neither New England railroad executives nor any oth- CT persons in the New England commun- ity ought 10 propose or assent 10 a scheme of rate making which will 30 sure ly react 10 the disadvantage of New England industry, and likewise of the railroads themselves. In all essential respects there Is no New England rzii- road problem as such. It is A railroad problem for the whole country
 One of the outstandirt features af-- fectinE the financial condil4on of the New England railroads and of most of the oth- CT railroads is the labor situation When the roads were taken over by the federal government forty cents on each dollar of operating revenue went 10 the payroll When the roads are returned to theh owners by the federal government sixty cents is going 10 the payroll. and the railroads are prevented from making any adjustments in the scale of wages and working conditions. except with the con- sent Of their employees or failing that. by action of the railroad labor board Up to the present time no railroad has suc- ceeded in reaching an agreement with itH employees looking to a modification of the wage scale or the working conditions. { Thus the railroads continue 10 operate at time Of serious financial difficulty un- der conditions which require them to use sixty cents of every dollar of operating revenue for payroll purposes. No raii- roads have ever operated successfully under such conditions.
 "A substantial increase in wages vas not only inevitable but was manifestiy just But a large portion of increased labor costs was caused by the enfocre- ment Of inpracticable working rules
 whici should be modified and which srs now receiving the attention of the rail. road labor board. Until that work Is com pleted the railroads cannot be efficiently operated. We have undertaken to cons fer with the resp,nEible leaders of the railroad brotherhoods, but they have de- ciinsd 10 confer with us We have suc- geste1 10 the railroad executives that ths railroad employees should he invited ;c agree to a temporary decrease in wages pending the final 1ecisrEs of the railroad laBo- board. but no action of this kind has taken place. s---as.--. -.-s

[. s. STEEL IS CHARGED
 WITH UNFAIR COMPETITION

Washington. April 2s.-A formal com plaint against the United States Steel corporation and eleven subsidiary com panies. alleging unfair competition in in- tcrstate commerce, was issued today by the federal trade commission. Thus the commission finally has decided that it has sufficient jurisdiction to take up fhe lona standing complaint by various users of steel products and others against the zi- legged use by the corporation of the device known as the Pittsburgh plus price"
 It was announced, however. that tho commission had divided. three to two, Chairman Thomson and Commissioner Pollard and NuEent voting for issuance cf the complaint, and Commissioners Gzsiiu and Murdock dissenting.
 The Steel corporation and its Eubsi- diaries are given thirty days. or until May 5l, ;o make formal answer ts the complaint after which the case will pro- ceed 10 trial on its merits The complaint was issued under the Clayton antitrust act and the law establishing the comuiisS sion. and the commissions announcement said the case was "an outgrowth of con- ditions complained of by more than 700 manufacturers Of steel in the Chicago, Duluth and Birmingham districts. by leg islstures of three states. by several ulu- inequalities, and by chambers of com. merce ksnd many business orEanizztions throughout the United States"
 The Pittsburgh plus price is described at length in the commissions announce ment. which says that under it "all steel. except rails. wherever made. and whether made in the Unhed States Steel corporation plants. or by it's independents; is sold st the O, b. Pittsburgh price plus | an amount equivalent to the freiEht Id point Of destination" and as an iIiustra ' tion says that this means that the Carr steel fabricator who runs his own truck to | the Cary, Ind. steel mill and purchases steel manufactured at this plant must pay the price charged in Pittsburgh plus an amount eauallinE the freight rate form | Pittsburgh to Gary"
 The complaint is not limited. hovevrr to the alleged use of this device. Il charges specifically that the Steel GOT. poration owns and controls the ultimate | iron ore supply in the United States' and that because of fits power and inau. ence' through the larger percentage Of the steel manufacturing business done b1 1t and supported by il. it's consequent po. tential power 10 embarrass or destroy it, competitors by unduly lowering its pric, schedules. is 'tantamount 10 the narsnv
 by the Steel corporation of prices that ar.
 to be charged by all the steel manufac
 turers in the United States"

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 DIVIDED ON TAX PROBLEMS

Atlantic City, N. J., April 2s.-At- teInpts to place American business on record as favoring a sales tax and the repeal. of the excise or luxury tax fail ed here today in the closing session of the ninth annual convention of the Unit ed States Chamber of Commerce, be- cause of confusion in the vote.
 { The subject, which was a matter of warm debate on the convention ofor was ordered to be immediately submitted to a referendum of the organizations mem bership. The sales tax was overwheln- ingly approved in a referendum taken during the convention but owing to a misunderstanding and confusion in the vote the resolutions committee asked that a new referendum be taken that would be freed from uncertainty and conclusive in it's recommendations"
 While convention referendum also approved a tariff policy that would give due regard toNexport trade as well as to the protection of the manufacturinG in the United States" 1t was decid ed to refer it to the committed on tariff policy which is studying the matter and will soon make its final report
 The chamber adopted a declaration of principles on American enterprise which urged the government to adopt a "hands-off'' policy toward business ex- cept for the purpose of preserving a flair and active field of free competi- | tion."
 "A wholesome standard of living is es. sential to general contentment" safd the declaration. That standard depends upon the intelligence, work. thrift of the individual citizen and improves a, | the total production of the country in | creases. Hence. restriction of produc. | tion or obstruction to distribution must necessarily undermine that standard. re. sultinE in injury to all citizens of ev. | cry class.
 we therefore condemn avoidabie strikes. lockouts ani all combinations 1 that needlessly limit output or crrtaf distribution on the part, of workers, own, CTS or managers of industry"
 William T. Hinczs of Bridgeport and l C. Fl. Remington of Hartford. were among the new directors elected by tht chamber today.

night after the whole situation had been discussed by President Harding and his cabinet and Secretary Hughes had con- ferred with Jules Jusserand, tn French ambassador, and Senator Ricci, t. .e Ital-' ian ambassador.
 Upon what administration officials bast\ their hopefulness was not disclos- ed as they continued to maintain abso- lute silence as to the character of the informal exchanges with the allied gov ernments and also as to the views of the United States on the proposals. II ne- came known, however, that neither Great Britain nos Italy had finally reected as as a basis for possible discussion the Ger man offer.
 France and Belgium were understood to hold that the proposals as such were unacceptable, but apparently their in- formal replies to MT. Hughes were of such character as to cause officials here to believe that ine 5oor had not been closed to further consideration cf a settlement by discussion.
 The impression gathered ground here tonight that the next formal move in the controversy would await the au:- come of the meeting at London ton3r- row of the allied supreme council It was made known officially that the Amer 1can government nad not .-confnun caled to Germar< any reuest for O modifca- tion of the proposals and that Germany had not approached this government with any offer of modification.
 State department officers refused tc | say today whether the Cnited States | would have an official observer at the | meeting of the supreme council The sit. uation with which the United States ii
 faced in the role in which it finds it. self is recognized as a delicate one. Ii
 is emphasized again that. the United 1 StaIes is in no sense acting as an agent
 of Germany ;. that; it is. acting purely al
 an associate and friend of the allied gov'
 ernments, It's former. associates in tht
 war against the common enemy.
 The chief problem in the Wlole ccE'
 troversy, in the view here. is to 'leterm
 inc how much Germany can paN and
 make her pay that sum. The United States made its position .in this -espec | perfectdly clear to Germany n its las | memorandum to that government. Or
 the other. hand, it isi explained that any d thing that would prevent Gernany's Ire cuperation and the taking of her propel tplsee inassthe seonnn,ie. world is. to ps guarded against.

 The Italian reply is the first complete one received by the United States from any of the four governments addressed, France has made preliminary answer, however, in which she said that at the meeting of the supreme council next month she would broach the examination of the Tap question with the greatest desire to ind a solution which will give every satisfaction to the United States.
