Not In His Jurisdiction
From Washington came the news
that Secretary Hoover had referred the
telegram TO Secretary Davis of the
Department. of Labor. 1t was explained
at the Department of Commerce that
wh1le such strike would affect the
nations commerce, the question of the
adjustment of the wage agreement be-
tween the tugboat owners and the en-
glneers and other officers was one for
the Department of Labor to handle. /.
With the engineers OF the two 9th G,
organizations already lined up in sup
port. of the Healey group, the Asso-
ciation of Masters, Mates and Pilots
headed by William A. Maher, met last
night at II ST. Marks Place and re.
solved to follow the action of the en-
glneers in refusing to work for those
towboat owners who have put into
effect a reduced scale of wages.
The strike was called Wednesday
night because of the towboat owners
action in cutting the wages of engi-
neers and other employees on THEN
craft $50 to $50 month. The lowe,
scale went into effect on March l. The

and asks that an investigation of the
situation be begun.

ding since last fall.

Mr.. Gompers. "and it is the duty Of

Mr.. Gompers said he was pleased
with the settlement and with the ex-
preston of the President. He said
tie agreement was the result of mutual
concessions and that he believed Il
would lead to plans for a better un-
derstanding between packers and em-
ployees.
The terms of settlement caused con-
siderable comment mere to-day to the
erect that the government had taken
stand on the SIDE of wage reduc-
tions. The government will naturally
be called on to act as negotiator and
concillator in many wage disputes.
The belief was expressed in some quar-
ters that the results of the negotia-
tions indicated the government would
as rule, take the attitude that the
time had arrived when wages would
have to recede from their high level.

Adherence to National Unit De.
mand Forecasts Shutdown in
Coal Fields ON April l

LONDON, March "a (By The Associ-
ated Press) The national delegates to
the conference of miners have rejected
the proposals made by the coal mine
owners for district settlement in
which wages would depend on the
capacity of the individual districts to
pay. The miners decided to adhere to
their demands for settlement of the
controversy on a national basis.
The action of the miners is regarded
by the newspapers as declaration of
war and as likely to result in a COM
plete cessation in mining April 1.
A national settlement with wages
fixed on unit basis is declared by the
mine owners to be entirely imprac
ticable.
