MARINE STRIKE HEADS
PLANNING FINISH FIGHT
Healey Says Attempt to
Reach Compromise Failed.

Negotiations in Washington having been
broken off, the marine strike leaders
met at the Marlborough Hotel yesterday
and laid plans for what they call fin
ish fight with the Shipping Board and
the American Steamship Owners Asso-
citation.
Everything is off," said Thomas B.
Healey, chairman of the Atlantic and
Gulf Council Of the Marine Engineers
Beneficial Association. THE attempt to
end the strike by compromise in Wash
ington has failed. and we'll have no
more of it. What we now demand is
continuation of the 1920 wage scale and
working conditions"
A Is per cent cut from the 1920 scale,
elimination of overtime and other
changes are what produced the strike.
In the Washington conferences with Sec
retary of Labor Davis and Admiral Ben
son some of the union men seemed will
ing to accept the cut, provided the mat
ter of overtime and years. contract
were adjusted satisfactorily. All this ef-
fort at conciliation has gone by the
board, according to the New York men,
because at the end Admiral Benson
would not agree to reinstate the strikers
Serenity continues to rule the offices
OF the American Steamship Owners AS
ISOLATION. The general manager. W. L..
Marvin. said yesterday that sailings
were so numerous that there seemed to
be no strike at all.
