On December 2, 1920. Mr.. Moore
received a telephone call from New

! himself as George L. Drummond,
told him to telegraph $1oO lmm 4et1i-
ately, with which to pay minor bills

money and made his getaway. He was
arrested soon after. however, in the
same town on charge of auto
thievry, but Mr.. Moore preferred not
| to push the case.
A short time after that Mr.. Moore
received another telegram from a
man describing himself as F. J. Hal
lock, who asked that $40 be sent to
him to defray the expense of bring
ing the boy to Bridgeport. Mr. Moore
Immediately took the train to Canada
to investigate this rumor, but al
though he found Hallock, the report
proved false Hallock at that time
was in company with another man
who gave his name as j. I. Murphy
of S5 High street, Hartford Both
men had been overseas and gassed
and it was at that time believed to
have affected their mentality.
Kenneth Moore has been living in
New York ever since his departure
IRON this city under the name of John
Long. Long was his mothers maiden
name.
Whether the boy will be returned
to this city or whether he will after
short stay be again allowed to return
to work for the company with which
ne has been employed since has dis
appearance is not known.
An incident in connection with the
story is that if he had remained in
this city he would last night have
completed his four years and been
graduated from the Bridgeport High
school. In his younger days Moore
had always expressed a hope that he
might some day go to college and
complete his education.
Parents Overcome.
Mr.. Moore was overcome with joy
this morning at the thought that he
was once again to see his long lost
son. Tears of joy streamed down his
face and it was with the greatest of
difficult that he was able to control
the complex emotions that arose with
in him. His wife also wept with joy,
and while waiting for the train they
breathed nervously, and walked tenn
pestuously up and down the platform.

Reporters talked with the father
and mother as tears of joy came to

TIME slump in American export trade
has virtually smashed the sacred
- dividing lines Of the seattle his
toric gap between man and an officer.
Captains, engineers and mates men who
possess licenses and who In their day have
occupied positions Of command are going
to sea in subordinate positions.
An oil tanker cleared the other day with
three licensed captains aboard, in addition
to the man on the bridge, in the position of
quartermasters. There are several cases on
record OF mates who have shipped as bo-
suns and able seamen. Engineers take jobs
as coal passers and oilers, not sullenly, but
with beaming faces.
At any time 1t is not uncommon to find
men who have been empowered to command
hard at work in the forecastle, but these are
cases where the Individual was deprived of
his license through misbehaNlor Of some
kind--drunkenness, cargo broaching, SC.
The American able seaman finds himself
in a sad plight. Not only have wages been
materially reduced and the two watch sys-
TEN been restored. but ships are difficult to

seamen.
The youngster whose fancy leads him
down to the shipping has no opportunity
worth mentioning with these experienced

The foreign seaman is up against 1t even

in the offices Of the private American ship
lines. At the seamen's Church Institute
they can be seen any day in force, but there
are never enough Jobs to go round
There are other ways of getting jobs than
standing about offices. A man can get a
ship by tramping along the waterfront ask
ing shippers. "How-about and whereabout
and how soon do you go?" But it is a
wearisome task. There are numerous pri-
vate shipping agents who represent private
lines and in addition, sign crews for sailing
ships yachts and tugs, Business there is
at a standstll. An interesting feature is
the fact that no sailing ship goes a-begging
for sailors these days The amount of sail
ing tonnage afoat, however, is decreasing.

These are the conditions that breed beach

Able seamen would perhaps have a better
chance to get work suited to their attain

work on Government owned and subsidized

three watch system, which among sailor
folk is known as flour on and eight off"
