WON'T SIGN BILL
WITH THE UNION
American Steamship Owners Also In
sistent on IS Per Cent Cut
in Wages.

New York. May 2s.-The American
Steamship Owners association stands
pat on its position that marine wages
must be cut 10 per cent and that it
will sign no agreements with seago-
ing unions. This statement was made
to-day by officials of the association
after it had been announced in Wash
ington that Chairman Benson of the
shipping board and representatives OF
the marine engineers had reached an
agreement over the reduction of wages
involved in the nationwide strike and
that Secretary of Labor Davis was hop
ing to get the owners TO participate IN
the agreement.
Winthrop l.. Marvin, general manag-
pr of the association, withheld detailed
romment pending receipt of the actual
terms of the proposed settlement.
There will be no change in the at
titude of the association as to the
termination of the strike, he declared.
A general meeting of the member
shin has been called for Tuesday aft
ernoon.
At the office of the Atlantic and Gulf
conference of the Marine Engineers
Beneficial association, it was said the
committee which conferred with Ad-
miral Benson had no authority to ef-
feet a final settlement.
"This committee can only report
hack TO the unions at a meeting called
for tomorrow afternoon" one of the
union leaders said. A settlement, if
any is effected, must come from a
vote of the men,"

Initiative AS to Declaring
Martial Law Depends
Upon General Sir Neil
Mac Ready, Milit ary
Commander of Ireland
Kitchener Block a d e
House System Possible

London, May 2S tBy the Associated
Press The governments policy for
"the sterner repression of the criminal
element in Ireland" as it is phrased
in authoritative quarters, involves the
strengthening of the crown forces in
Ireland, with military reinforcements
which will be drawn from units now in
foreign service. No increase of the
auxiliary police, or BLACK and Tans
or the constabulary is contemplated, 1t
is declared.
There is some likelihood of the ex-
tension of martial law to the whole OF
Ireland with the exception of Ulster,
it is indicated, but the initiative rests
with General Sir Nevil MacReady, the
military commander of Ireland, as 1t
does in the question of introducing the
Kitchener blockhouse system. 1t is Of
ficially stated that the reinforcements
to be sent will be considerably less
than $4,000 in number, as not that
many troops are available.

FOREIGN GRANTEES A MENACE.
Are Cut at Much Lower Labor Cost and
Transported Cheaply.

Once more American granite and the
granite trade is menaced by the flood
of foreign GRANTEES into America, the
granite stones that are transported
from Scotland Sweden and Germany
to American markets and then retailed
at prices which no American manufac-
turer can compete with. For several
years this competition was prevented
by the war, but now in the midst of a
serious business depression the Amer
lean manufacturers are confronted
with foreign competition in their own
markets The fact has caused con
siderable CONSERVATION among the
American quarters and manufacturers
and appeals for legislation to their
congressman and representatives at
Washington, d. c. 10 prevent such
have been made.
These foreign manufacturers can
flood the American markets with these
cheaper memorials through the fact
that labor is much lower in their coun-
tries, and the transportation rates very
low because the stones are used as
ballast. The United States is export
ing vast amount of foodstuffs and
other goods to Europe daily while lit
tie is being imported from Europe. The
ships, therefore, are compelled to re-
turn unloaded and face the high seas
with their comparatively light loads
Consequently loads of finished granite
are accepted at abnormally low rates tc
induce the manufacturers TO ship the
stones. which are Utilized excellently
as ballast.
ONLY this week two ships arrived in
Boston harbor with l45 tons of fin
ished granite of the foreign countries
that we're accepted chiefly as ballast
These two loads, one SO tons and the
other 90, do not represent large ship
ments. vet with ships constantly re-
turning stupendous tonnage of fin-
nished granite would be flooding Amer
lean markets, chiefly because OF fhese
low rates and tariffs. These shipments
of granite into Boston this week, II
purchased from Barre firms would give
employment to all the men of the larg'
est stonesheds in Barre for period OF
not less than three weeks, as the
amount represents no less than seven
carloads of finished material and repre-
sents a minimum value in Barre gran
ite of not less than $4,000.
1t is for this reason, as well as
trade reasons, that the American stone
trade is viewing this problem with
deep concern, and has made appeals 70
congressman for action TO prevent tur-
thcr repetitions of this incident stated
IL is certain that the American peo-
ple could not furnish labor Is cheap
iv as these foreign countries.
This is one of the interesting topics
which will be discussed at the confer
ence in Boston next Wednesday by the
representatives Of the various granite
industries and the representatives oi
the international Quarry Workers un'
ion.
The one barrier which the American
trade hopes to raise against these
cheaplv manufactured and transported
stones IS high tariff. which can only
be enacted through Congress. Already
appeals for such have been made tC
the two senators and two representa-
tiyes of Vermont. with the result that
all four have given assurance OF thei
support.
