Ship Men Want Hoover's
Bunker Order Modified
Strict Enforcement of Fuel
Decree Threatens to Tie
Up Several Lines

Modification of the Hoover order
restricting the use of bunker coal is
necessary if some vessels are to remain
in service, steamship men said yester-
day. No objections were recorded to
the move generally, but exceptions
were noted in which more liberal treat
ment was said to be needed.
Secretary Hoover ordered that no
ships in foreign trade be bunkered ex-
cept to supply deficiencies necessary to
carry them to their next foreign port
of call, and also that ships sailing to
the Atlantic and Gulf ports from
abroad must obtain sufficient bunkers
for the round trip.
II was pointed out that in many for
eign ports, especially in South America
and the Far East, coal supplies cannot
be had
The question was raised yesterday
whether coal cargoes arriving from
Great Britain would come under the
jurisdiction of Secretary Hoover. The
general opinion was that the regula-
tions apply only to domestic produc-
tion. 1t is estimated that 100000 tons
will come here from Great Britain in
the next thirty dayS.

tion to Allow Managing
Lines Pay to S., 900 a Job

/, The standing committee of Manag-
9ng Agents, representing thirty-eight
steamship companies handling about
400 Shipping Board vessels, generally
approves the plan now being worked
;out by Vice President Joseph II. Sheedy
'to place greater responsibility on the
operators, members of the committee
said yesterday. A meeting was held at
she whitehall Building at which fur
Eher details of the plans were dis
ieussed. G. w. Clough, secretary, also
sp~a in conference with Mr.. Sheedy.
The substance of the new system,
as outlined by Mr.. Sheedy. is to give
the managing agents fixed allowances
for subsistence, deck and engine room
supplies, and also to permit them to
spend up to $4,000 on minor repair
Jobs The subsistence allowance has
been fixed at 65 cents day for each
man. The committee is now discussing
with Mr.. Sheedy several details, such
as the rate to be allowed for passen-
gers on freight ships, supplies deliv-
cred by. lanches to vessels in mid
stream and other cases not covered
in the orders. The matter Of ship
stores has not yet been settled.
are based upon fair average figures
and are liberal enough to enable the
operators to effect savings. AT the
same time the expense TO the board
is less than under the previous sys-
TEN. Another advantage is that the
board can estimate its budget accu-
rately and can reduce expenditures on
accounting and auditing. In the opin-
ion of the commissioners the new sys-
TEN will stimulate the initiative of the
managing agents and thus aid in the
upbuilding of the American merchant
marine.
While the board intends to let op-
orators spend up to $4,000 on repair
Jobs, these will be checked later. Work
of greater extent is undertaken by
the board itself through the division
of construction and repairs, of which
Commander r. D. Gatewood is director.
The fuel problem is the most diff
cult OF the four to solve. Operators
said yesterday that it practically was
impossible to make fixed allowance for
this. The most that can be done, ac
cording to present indications, is to
work out the most economical method
for use on each ship.
The Shipping Board has not yet
made arrangements to pay the op-
orators the new Outstanding fee for
July, it was learned yesterday. Be-
ginning on the first Of last month the
board agreed TO allow the lines fixed
sum in addition to commissions, aver
aging about $400 for each freight ship.
1t was estimated that this would cost
the board about $1,500,o00 year,
which would be Offset largely by saw
ings in other directions. Officials of
the board explained to the standing
committee that the legal department
had not completed its work on the
matter, but that payment would be
forthcoming shortly. The extra COM
pensation given to the managing
agents is intended to Offset losses
caused by the decrease in rates and
cargoes since the original plan was
drafted.

Nathan and Sam Knock Each
Other Friendly on Crudge Day
Classic Tourney of Fists at Orphan Asylum, in
Which Noses Stop Some Stiff Wallops, Settles
Their s'Mad''; Good Pals Again ''Like Always

Nathan Blum and Sam Slavin have
dissolved their grudge in little blood.
1t had been bitter quarrel and it
burned itself out in a good four-round
fight. Benny Leonard might justly
criticize their footwork and Jack
Dempsey-but, then, as Joe Humphreys
would say, give the boys a chance.
Sam and Nathan are Jews and or
phans, and therefore entitled to the
shelter and other benefits of the He
brew Orphan Asylum at 13Sth Street
benefits is "Grudge Day" an arrange
ment devised by the superintendent,
Lionel Simonds, himself graduate of
the place, to prevent quarrels from
fostering as permanent feuds.
When any two boys there become so
mad with each other that they want
to fight, they report to Mr.. Simonds,
who puts them on the Grudge Day list.
For most of the eleven hundred chill
dren Of this institution that is sup
ported By the Federation of Jewish
Philanthropic Societies the day has n
significance such rs tournament day
had for the knights and ladies at the
court of King Arthur
Anyhow, They Had "Mad''
Jaw, / was chasing him and he fell
and he cut himself and he got sore"
That was the explanation Of their
outside the gymnasium as his seconds,
Harold Levy and Hyman Reisnel, tied
on his ten-ounce gloves. Sam is fif-
teen, dark, lean and bright. The de-
scription applies to Nathan, who also
has fuzz on his upper lip and about
six pounds more weight than Sam.
"Naw," denied Nathan. at was on
the ball field and he was on the other
side and l hit foul tip and he said
it was strike. Then, when l was in
the hospital with this cut on my arm
it's healed now-he said something.
Inside the gymnasium's yellow walls,
painted an economical maroon as high
as finger smudge might show, some
of Sans and Nathan's contemporaries
were stretching clothes line about
four conveniently placed pillars and
smaller boys were dragging mats into
position, under the eyes of Joseph
Bonapart, the assistant superintendent.
The instant the rope was taut the rec
tangle was margined with young hui
manity. This grudge of Nathan and
Sam had drawn good house.
Nathan Schneider, third-year dem
tai student and one of the councillors
at the orphanage, ducked under the
ropes. He wore the same sort OF KHAKI
trousers displayed by the younger
boys. Calling the contestants to the
center of the ring along with the four
seconds-Nathan's were Lew Wallach
and David Goldstein-he cautioned
them against hitting in the breakaways
and fouling and then sent them to
their corners for q final petting from
the seconds.
"Time!" called Mr.. Bonapart.
Scrap Starts Briskly
The young fighters flew at each
other. There was futter of gloves
and Sam stepped back, paving at his
nose with one of his gloved hands.
They rushed at each other with fury
that suggested that their hatred had
created in each lodestone properties to
attract the other. They tangled with
the ropes and Sam said something
mean to Nathan, who slammed him in
the mouth just as Mr.. Bonapart again
