who completed their hearings with the
snip operators and returned to WASH
ington
1t was said by board officials that
the drafting Of new scale of pav is
complicated. There are sixteen trade
routes starting from New York, with
ABOUT twenty operating companies, and
the cost of stevedoring varies accord
ing to the nature of the cargo. For
this reason. it was declared the board
may not be able to work out uniform
schedule, but it intends to bring about
a considerable reduction in this ex-
pensc
The operators, most OF whom have
subsidiary stevedoring concerns, have
submitted rates to T. Y. O'Connor, vice
chairman of the board and head of the
committee here. The board will go over
these to determine if they are justified,
and may issue its own scale.
Bids for stevedoring at Baltimore
were opened last Tuesday in Wash
ington. Next Tuesday the board will
receive offers for Boston in that city,
while on Friday bids for Philadelphia
