MARINE WORKERS
ASK HARDINC'SAID
in WAGE DISPUTE
Action Follows Deadlock
In Negotiations Under
Benson's Guidance.

Marine workers have appealed to
President Harding to intervene in
their dispute with ship owners over
wages and working rules
This followed a deadlock in ne
gotiations which have been in prog
ress under the guidance OF Admiral
W. s. Benson. chairman of the
Shipping Board. representatives of
the workers walked out Of the con-
ference late yesterday, announcing
their intention of putting the matter
before Harding.
No other suggestion is made to
Harding than this. contained in the
memorandum which the workerslef
.tt the White House: We now re-
spectfully submit the matter to you.
in the firm faith that, you will act
for the development and mainte-
nance of the merchant marine"
History of Dispute.
The memorandum was signed BY
Andrew Furuseth, president OF the
International Seamen's Union OF
America. and william s. Brown,
president of the marine engineers
beneficial association.
1t sets forth a history of the dis
pute. telling how the employers
originally wanted to reduce wages
IS per cent, and how, later, Is per
cent was offered, and how attempts
to have incorporated in the working
agreement certain conditions re-
garding work were refused.
1t tells how the workers offered
to submit the entire question to the
President and offered to accep: his
decision. conditions meantime to
remain as they are.
Refused by Owners.
This was 1T first refused by Ad-
miral Benson. stating that he would
rot burden you with this mrttAr,"
said the memorandum. 1T was
then peremptorily refused by the
shipowners. We renewed our offer,
and again were refused. Where
upon. 1t. was stated by US that we
felt that we did not burden you
by submitting our judgment to
yours. We felt that we were do
ing our duty to you and to the mer-
chant marine"
Unable to Avert Break,
Furuseth last night declined to
predict what would be the outcome
Of the present situation. Strike or
ders already have been issued to
the engineers. and, according to
Brown, will not be recalled unless
conditions change by May l.
Il don't know" said Furuseth,
when asked IL he thought there
would be a strike.
The Shipping Board, according to
Admiral Benson. is reluctantly
compelled Ito meet with all the re-
sources at it's command" the situa-
ton which confronts II.
The efforts of the Shipping
Board, and the steamship interests
to avert break with marine labor
have come to naught." said Ben
son. The refusal of the men to
recognize the need for readjustment
on a reasonable basis has ended
prolonged negotiations. The Ship
ping Board has endeavored to meet
the men in the fairest and most
conciiatory7 spirit. 1t is, however,
deeply conscious OF its obligations
to the people OF the United States
to protect their interests in the
merchant marine"

a daily air mail service between
New York and London is believed by
1nany to be among the possibilities of
the near future. There has just been
designed in England a 1000 horse
power motor which is believed to be
capable of supplying power for such
a flight. The motor weighs only two
pounds per horsepower, q remark
ably low weight for a large engine.
AT the same rate the power plant
of a rs horsepower automobile would
weigh only SO pounds, and could be
carried easily in. Il hand.
The new motor las been given
careful and exacting tests, and is said
to have met every requirement. It
is intended to equip a giant plane
with two of these motors, and to use
the machines for long distance flights
with mail and passengers, and per-
haps for transatlantic service. The
plane which is to pc used will be a
powerful war engine, having a car
ying capacity of ten men, with a
large quantity of military equipment.
Under peace conditions it will carry
so passengers.

THE CASE OF DEBs

The case Of Eugene Debs is quite
simple. To the extent Of his ability
he hindered the government of the
United States in it's preparation for
war. More decent than most Of his
kind. he did not seek safety through
denial or evasion. He opposed Amer
lean participation in the war before
the American decision had been made,
and he opposed it afterward. He
never denied it. When the facts were
stated in court he admitted them, and
said he was glad of what he had done.
and would do it over again If given
the opportunity. He declared that
the evidence had been fairly present.
ed. He admitted hat he had been
given every opportunity to defend
himself. He admitted that the YER
dict of the jury "a in accordance
with the facts. He was sentenced,
and has served a part of his time.
Debs does not contend that he has
not committed the acts with which
he was charged. He does not regret
them. He does not even contend that
the acts were not unlawful. He main
tains that the laws which enable the
nation to defend itself against such
acts, and to punish those who COM
nit them, are wrong. That is the
only controversy. No adjustment OF
it or compromise with reference to it
is possible. Most of US believe that
these laws are right and necessary.
The mar who demands the release Of
Debs takes his position with Debs on
the principle that the citizen may
with impunity stab his country in, the
back while an armed foe is attacking
it in front. If that is the correct doc
trine Debs should go free. Everybody
should go free. Accepting such q
principle we can have neither law nor
nation.
The difference between Debs and
many of his partisans is that Debs ia
the more manly. He declares boldly
what he wants and does not seek to
evade the consequences Of his acts
by denying them or equivocating
about them.

From the Joys of long ago
Come these car Of hurt and woe.

years ago, has crossed the ocean to de-
liver LECTURES devoted to the work of

It is not clear that American wom-

that they will not make as intelligent
use Of it as their husbands and BROTH

WHEAT.

II it n true, as charged, that Ar
genuine finances and commerce are
50 completely dominated by a small
group Of European capitalists that
these people can manipulate prices at
will, it is evident that both price
quotations and statistical reports from
that country are worthless. 1t is easy
to understand how the dissemination
of false reports from that country,
with its very considerable wheat ex-
port trade, might be used in other
markets to advance or depress prices
there. Without question steps should
be taken to prevent such practices
It is evident, however, that the sup
preston of Argentine information can
be useful only as a temporary ex-
pedient, il at all. Argentine raises
wheat and exports it in quantities
sufficient to exert an important influ-
ence on the worlds supply. We may
refuse to collect information as to
Argentine conditions and we may re-
fuse to pay any attention to Argen-
tine price quotations. But the wheat
will be produced, nevertheless. and
it will be shipped and sold. Some
where, and sometime, it will meet
American and Australian and Cana
dian wheat in the same markets, and
unless there is trustworthy informa-
ton concerning it dealers and pro-
ducers elsewhere will be doing busi-
ness blindly. The result will be that
which always follows attempts to do
business in ignorance of surrounding
conditions. Everyone who an must
seek to insure himself against the I'M
known by allowing himself as large
a margin rs possible.
In such a situation the producer
would be the first to experience a loss.
If Argentine reports under present
conditions are unreliable, the perma-
nent remedy is not to suppress them.
but to make them reliable.
