Reject Offer Of

no agreements whatever with the union
marine workers.
The proposition of Admiral Benson,
head Of the Shipping Board, as revealed
by the unon leaders yesterday, only
vaguely, if at all recognizes the Marine
Engineers Union and entirely disre-
CARDS the Seamen's Union. The pro-
posed agreement makes no mention
anywhere of any particular organization
and leaves the union officials here In a
quandary as to whether their signatures
to the agreement would give their or
ganizations any standing, Recognition
of their unions was one of the impor-
tant points at issue.
With regard to the claim of the
union leaders that the proposals do not
guarantee seniority rights OF Marine
Engineers Association members, the
offer reads: "All engineers involved i'll
the contest with the ship operators who
we're either employed in positions
ashore or aboard ship shall be rein
stated to their former positions or ones
equally satisfactory without prejudice
or loss of status at the earliest possible
opportunity" Healey points out that
this may mean next year. 1t is known
that so per cent of the governments
vessels have been idle for lack of busi-
ness.
Question of Leave
No amendments are proposed in
Rules / and Q of the working agree
ment Of last year. Rule 9, which pro-
vided that engineers have shore leave
every night when vessel was in port
is amended to read: when a ship ar
rives in port the engineer attending
the night watch shall have the next
day off," which is interpreted to mean
that the engineers get only every other
night off.
Rule six, which provided for over
time pay, is amended to read that
there shall be no overtime except for
the safety of the vessel and that work
so done shall be paid for at straight
time rates.
The subsistence allowance for the
chief engineer in the new proposition
is reduced from $405 a day to that of
assistant engineer, $500, with $3.50 ad-
ditional for lodging. All the remaining
rules that provided for the enforcement
of the agreement and the recognition
of the Marine Engineers Beneficial
Association as party to the agree
ment, have been entirely eliminated.
1t is provided, however, that: "This
agreement shall extend for period of
twelve months from May 1, 1921"
The ignoring of the Seamen's Union
entirely, according to leaders of that
organization, will mean battle to the
finish for its life. With them the rec

from the beginning of the controversy,
the paramount issue, Andrew Furuseth,

men felt, however, that the government

Southards Cannot Re-Wed

HONOLULU, May 29.-Paul Vincent
So9qthard, navy petty officer, was un-
able yesterday to fulfill his announced
intention of remarrying his wife, who
is held here in connection with the
death of her fourth husband, Edward
Mayer, in Idaho. Deaths of her three
other husbands are being investigated.
Southland planned the remarriage in
order to remove al possible doubt of
the legality of his marriage to her in
Los Angeles, but he was refused a
license to remarry because he could
not produce the decree of divorce
which he said was granted him in In
diana from his first wife last October.
His former wife, he said, lives now in
Anderson, Ind.
Doubt was cast by Southland himself
on the legality of his marriage to the
woman held here because the ceremony
was performed less thAn one year after
his divorce in Indiar&i.
Mrs. Southland leaves here for the
mainland June 1, according to present
arrangements.

Mrs. Lillian Paschal Day, of Leonia,
