Steamer Picks Up
Boat Stranded i'm
Chase of Rum Gang
United Fruit Ship Four
Hours Late Here After
Answering Distress Call
From Eagle Patrol Craft

Four hours late, the United Fruit
steamship Calamsres arrived here yes
terday from West Indian ports with Il
large list of travellers
When of the coast Of North Carolina
her wireless operator picked up dis
tress call from one of the Eagle patrol
boats Of the coast guard service that
had run out of fuel while chasing whisky
runners up the coast.
The feeble message caught by the
Calamares was the last one sent out by
the Eagle boat, as her dynamos went
dead. The operator of the disabled ves-
sci, however, gave his position, and the
Calamares picked her up after steam
ing for two hours off her course. She
found the Eegle boat riding easily in
the sea and lefs her after sending out
calls for help, which brought two navy
hydroplanes to the vicinity.
The time lost in going to the dis
tressed vessel delayed the Calamares"
arrival here.
The vessel brought to port Colonel
William F. Repp, U. S. A. (retiredJ, and
James d. Marks, Of Belfast, Ireland,
both of them suffering from infamma-
tory rheumatism
Among others aboard were Mr.. and
Mrs. Manuel Gomez y Valle, of Havana;
Miss Aline H. Harvard and Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles F. Wyman. Mr.. Wyman
brought with him Julian Bengochea,
son of q wealthy Cuban widow, who
was sent here by his mother to attend
school. Being an alien under sixteen
and unaccompanied by parent or
guardian, the boy was sent to Ellis
Island to appear before a board of
special inquiry.
The Calamares also brought to port
cook, three fremen, two messboys
and a seaman of the American wooden
steamship Mazama, which has been
tied up in the harbor of Havana for
eight months. The men said that the
ships owners had not paid them and
that wages running from S400 TO $1,000
were due to every man of the crew.
The sailormen said that Cuban law
yer was handling their case in the
Cuban courts, but that they had little
hope of getting their money.

Business ON UPGRADE,
But Not i'm Full Swing

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Business
On the upgrade, but not yet in full
ragmal swing, according to Archer Wall
Douglas, chairman OF the Committee
On Statistics and Standards of the
chamber of Commerce of the United
States in his monthly review of the
business situation.
The great mass Of the people are
laosing the facts squarely in the face"
says Mr. Douglas. There are no de-
lusians as to any sudden return to
prosperity, nor of advancing prices,
nor Of scarcity in any lines. In many
ef the large centers there is the curl
Gus paradox of much unemployment
accompanied by growing savings ac-
counts The explanation seems to be
mat those who have jobs are none too
certain Of them and are casting con-
ssquent anchors to windward in the
shape Of less spending.
The financial position OF the farmer
grows stronger as he is gradually
llquidating his obligations, decreasing
ais cost of production and finding
more economical methods Of distribu-
son, largely through his cooperative
associations.

Despite the marine strike, the Ship.
ping Board during the last week con-
tnued TO place more vessels in service
than 1t withdrew. Whether this can be
taken as an indication of more than a
transient Improvement in trade, how
evers Is doubtful. No increase in gem
eral cargo movement is reported and
fully three-quarters Of the boards
vessels brought out of the caretakers'
hands are said to be destined for car
rying coal to the United Kingdom.
Ihis trade cannot be regarded as Il
permanent field for any great volume
of American shipping
The attitude of British labor il a
factor that must be reckoned with as
furnishing link between the shipping
strike here and the miners strike in
the United Kingdom. TO get crews to
man the ships to carry the coal to
England has been the problem here,
and 60 get the coal unloaded there is
the difficulty at the other end. Coal
exporters, therefore, have been demand
lng guarantees of sailings and ship
operators have been STIMULATING that
the responsibility as to the discharge
OF the cargo in Great Britain should
be upon the British consignee.
Coal Shipments in Doubt
British stevedores have been work
ing to aid the striking miners cause
as far as possible, on the general plan
of getting as much coal out of the
country and as little into it as they
could In fact, it was reported from
England recently that the men were re-
fusing 10 aid in bunkering vessels with
British coal unless the ships were to
sail with bunkers full. In the case of
American coal destined as bunkers for
vessels tied up for lack of fuel no diff
ficulty is expected, but where the
coal is intended for land use opposi-
tion to unloading is looked for on the
part of the men.
That American shipping by carrying
coal to Britain will reduce its future
participation in this line of transport
is one of the aspects of the case. On
securing bunkers many of the vessels
tied up at British ports will at once
sail for this country, to enter the coal
carrying trade themselves. 1t is only
because the British. buyers have been
unable to secure more British boats
that American ships have figured so
prominently in this trade recently.
British Shipping Affected
Normally the great bulk of the Brit
ish tramp tonnage has been used in
the export of coal from Britain, but
the strike has now shut of expectation,
and q large proportion of this shipping
will now be used in importing the same
commodity. And because of the sharp
decline in the general British export
business. most of this tonnage will

come to this country in ballast, neces.
ssitating the securing of revenue for
both legs of the voyage on one leg.
With rates around So TO 81 a ton, there
will not be much margin for profit
The question of the advisability of
internationai shipping agreements has
been brought to the fore again by the
advocacy of such arrangements by Ad-
miral Benson, chairman of the Ship
ping Board, and James A. Farrell, head
of the United States Steel Corporation
and president of the National Foreign
Trade Council
Navigation Laws Handicap
The main question involved is not
so much uniformity of freight rates as
uniformity of shipping laws and regu-
lations and proportionate ALLEGATION
of tonnage. Much could be done to-
ward securing equalization o. marine
conditions through the amendment of
the La Toilette seamen's act, but there
has been little progress in this direc-
tion by Congress. THIS failure, how
ever, is largely due to the failure of the
Shipping Board to lay before Congress
the report made year ago by a COM
mittee of shipping men appointed by
the board itself to report on the neces.
Slty .ol ASNlSiHk Iu6 dNlS8LlOU laws. IL
has been explained that the laws were
being codified on the basis suggested
by the report, but the report has never
been made public.
Distribution of shipping in the vari-
Gus trades on a proportionate basis
agreed to by all maritime nations would
be most difficult task. American
shipping would furnish the stumbling
block
Foreign Owners Attitude
With practically all other merchant
marines carrying larger porcron of
American trade than we do of theirs.
although we have a far greater mer-
camille fleet than any country save
Great Britain, it is plain that proper
tionate ALLEGATION would mean enrsloy-
ment for a smaller volume of foreign
shipping and a greater one for Amer
lean shipping. And when it came to a
question of commercial sacrifice the
advantages of an international agree
ment would not be likely to appeal to
other countries.
So far as uniformity of rates goes,
the Shipping Board is already .partici-
pating in conference agreements in
most of the trades in which its vessels
are engaged. This, however, is a mat
ter of greater advantage to other coun-
tries than to the United States. For
while we get as much for carrying
freight as other nations do, our capt.
tai and operating costs are so much
higher that the net income is much less,
