 Chief wireless operators are ex- pccted to stand cut of $I5 a month, and chief stewards, $2o.
 This is the second reduction pro- posed by owners for engineer and deck officers. The first cut some months ago caused a strike of the men below, which was broken The mates accepted the initial slash.
 Powell, speaking for the govern ment, declared that when a cut is made by the Shipping Board it will be Substantial. He is now consid- cring the schedule submitted by the shipowncrs, who are said to have been instructed to lead off in wage reductions, thus relieving the govern mcnt of i charge of responsibility for the def1ation of scamcn's pay al most to the point of bcggary.

MAN OVER CENTURY
 SEEKS INSURANCE
Thinks He's Good for Long Time
 Yet But Wants Protection.

The Connecticut General Insurance Co. of Hartford, received this week an ap- pication for $5,OOO of life insurance from man who Is over a hundred years old. At the age of eighteen this gentle man was rejected by an English army physician. no doubt long since deceased. as unfit for military service. As regards occupation he would certainly be classed a "select" risk He spends most of his time writing checks for philanthropic purposes and reciting poetry
 For several reasons the company Is obliged to delay issuing the policy. In regard to his health the man says he IS 'as rugged as bear" but the Connecticut general medical department has had little, ii any, experience with bears.
 Then, according to the mortality table on which the entire life insurance busi- ness is based, the man has theoretically If not actually been dead for four years as of 100000 starting at age ten only three are left at age ninety-hve and these all die before reaching ninety-six
 One thing the company is thankful for Is that 1t wasn't asked to accept the man for life annuity fifty years ago.

AMERICAN SEAMEN
 BEING FORCED OFF SHIPS BY PAY CUTS
Furuseth Says in Four Years Only Yellow Races Will Man
 Vessels.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-Ihc 25th annual convention of the International Sea mems Union of America was held in this city with about 50 delegates in attendance. The strike of last sum- mcr and the falling off of American shipping has hit this organization very hard. Secretary Treasurer Thomas A. Hanson, in his annual re- port, gave the present membership at 5o,ooo as against the high peak of II5,- GOO in 1920. However, the organiza- tion is full of vigor and will come back when the industry revives. The membership is districted as follows: Atlantic ports, 267oo; Great Lakes, 6,4Oo; Pacific, I6,ooo
 In his report President Andrew Furuscth directs attention to the at tempt being made in Congress to emasculatc the La Toilette seamen's law, which for the first time in the history of American shipping estab- lished full citizenship rights of sail orS. Referring 10 the measure pro- posed by Representative Scott, of Michigan, which sought 10 amend the law in such a way as to remove the necessity for able seamen on the Great Lakes and to reduce the num- Der of fremen, oilers, and water tenders, Furuscth says.
 Bad Features Killed in House
 ITO combat this bill l sought and obtained the assistance of the lcgis- Iativc committee of the American Fedcratior of Labor, the railroad brotherhoods, and the machinists. This proved so effective that when the bill came up in the House 1t was soamcndcd on the floor that the fire men, oilers, and water tenders not only retained the cight-hour day at sea but they also gained the eight hour day in port. The abolition of able seamen was prevented, and IS per cent reduction was adopted in stead.
 Tt was in this shape that the bill

 President Furuscth rccitcs the struggle Of the seamcn with the United States Shipping Board and private ship owncrs and adds:
 Policy Destroying Marine
 "Thcy have reduced wages in pro- portion to the growing hunger and necessities of the men until the American citizen, sailing before the mast at sea, has been reduced from Go per cent. of the total in Dcccm- Der, 1920, 10 less than IS per cent at the present time. The result of this policy Is shown in the number of American vessels laid up and rusting to death in the different ports of the United States. The American people own these vessels, but they are junk ed at bchcSt of the international ship ping trust"
 During the second days session of the convention President Furuscth received telegram from Washing ton saying the Shipping Board has ordered another big cut in wages of Seamcn. Asked for an expression on this turn of affairs, MT, Furuseth said:
