Commissioner r. V. O'Connor of the
Shipping Board to-day denied state
ments made in Chicago by Andrew
Furuseth. president OF the International
Seamen's Union. that American sailors
are leaving the sea.
Furuseth stated that. whereas n year
ago SO per cent. of the crews of Amer
lean vessels were citizens OF the United
States. to-day only IS or rs per cent.
are. A similar charge was made by
Furuseth to A. J. Frey. vice-president of
operations OF the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration, in a letter written on January
last.
O'Connor says this may be true of the
members Of the international Seamens
Union. the organization which Furuseth
heads. but II Is not true Of other Amer
lean sailors. The Shipping Board
records show that 81 per cent. OF the
crews during 1921 were American born.

MARINE NEWS NOTES.

Joseph w. Powell. president of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, is a
strong believer in the practicability Of
the proposed $30.000.000 merger of
Shipping Board operators on the Pacific
Coast He said that it's success would
be placed beyond doubt IL the American
coastwise laws were extended to the
Philippines and the work of the army
transport service turned over to the pri-

A member of the legal staff of the
Shipping Board says that the "sore
spots" in the shipping industry seem to
have been fairly well eliminated. The
weakest among the pioneer purchasers
of Government vessels and among the
shipbuilding organizations have sue
cumbed and those remaining seem, al
worst, to be able to continue for some
time to come.
The Lloyd Brazleiro has announced
reductions OF $40 to $40 in first class
fares between New York and Brazilian
ports. Rates are now 1920 to Pernam-
buco, Bahia and Rio dc Janeiro and
$3.50 to Santos.
There Is considerable speculation as
TO what the Shipping Board intends to
do with the three ships withdrawn from
the Pacific Nails Manila-East Indies
service. There seems to be no current
demand from the managing agents FOR
passenger ships OF the 522 type, al
though several OF the operators have
made urgent requests for ALLEGATION oi
"535s." The smaller ships, carrying only
seventy-eight passengers. have beer
found unsuitable for most trades
