Ship Strike To Be
Fought to Finish,
Engineers Assert
Unions Patch Up Troubles
and Leaders Say They
Will Waste No More
L M e at Washington

The nationwide shipping strike took
new turn yesterday when the differ
ences between the two locals of the
Marine Engineers Beneficial Associa-
ton were eradicated and both organi-
zations began to enforce the strike.
Thomas B. Healey, chairman of the
Atlantic Council, declared that the ne
gotiations seeking to end the strike
had been definitely broken off and
there was little chance of their being
renewed soon.
A series of daily joint conferences
were inaugurated at the Hotel MARI
borough, and a committee of twelve en-
gineers, six from Local 33 and six from
Local so, was appointed to prosecute
vigorous measures to tighten up the
effect of the strike. "We have now
gone back to our old demand" said
Healey, land we will not listen to any
negotiations that have as a basis the
10 per cent reduction in wages.
The shipping owners are getting
some vessels to sea, but they are
manned with incompetent crews, and
are being operated at greatly increased
costs. 1t was stated in Congress last
week that the strike was costing the
United States Shipping Board $1,000, 900
a day. The country will not-stand for
that verwy long. We will wear the
other side down.
while we were in Washington we
found that the Admipistratio was very
anxious to do justice to both sides, but
as soon as the Shipping Board was in
a position to sign with US the terms
were altered because of pressure
brought to bear by the chambers of
commerce and the manufacturing or
CARNATIONS throughout the country.
"a new steamship company signed
up with US to-day under the old scale
OF wages. 1t is the Asthmaco Lumber
Company and operates two ships. An
other company is now negotiating with
us to sign an agreement. This COM
pany operates fifteen ships, and if it
! signs it will be quite victory for US.
''We are through wasting time at
Washington We are going to settle
down now and make the strike eff
fective."
Winthrop L. Marvin, vice president
| of the American Steamship Owners
Association, stated yesterday that as
far as the owners were concerned the
strike was practically settled, as ships
were moving in and out Of the port
! about on schedule.

Senator Kenyon. This thing has been
reeking with graft, If the witnesses be-

Asserting that personal telegrams
were sent by Shipping Board employees
at government expense, he read several
sample messages.

Senator Poindexter said sixty Off
Gals had charge of forty employees at
Hog Island. The officials had autos at
government expense and other luxuries
Senator Jones denied the situation was
as, bad as pictured at Hog Island.
In the course of the general exchange
OF views, Senator Poindexter said he
would wipe out the Shipping Board and
appoint a director of shipping with au,
thority to liquidate.

The employers had made conces.
slon or q 70 per cent reduction, IN
stead OF 80 per cent as announced May
III, but the operatives refused to agree
to a cut of more than l21a. per cent.
Inc operatives contend that reduc.
ton OF 20 per cent would bring their
standard of living below the pre-war
scale and that the present depression
IN the cotton trade industry is only
temporary and largely due to the
STRIKE OF the coai miners and other
speelal c1rcum stances. The operatives
announced that they were willing tc
accept the cut of 121a per cent if the
rllli owners would review the wage
scale three months from now.
