Ports to Speed
Congestion Leads TO a New
Agreement Between Ship
owners and Labor Chiefs
on the Two-Shift System
Unions Balk at Third
Further Increase in Expor.
tation Of Fuel Hindered
by Workers at the Piers

Demand for the shipment of British
in a congestion in English ports which
has forced radical changes in loading
methods, resulting in new agreement
between the ship owners, exporters and
labor unions, according to reports In
marine publications. The dock workers
approved an overtime, two-shift system
but effectually blocked the plan for
three shifts on the argument that there
was not sufficient business. While
the new contract has expedited ship
ments to large extent, still greater
trade is prevented by the obstructive
tactics of the union leaders, it is re.
ported. New orders for coal cannot be
filled within four or Ave weeks.
On the initiative of the British Min
lstry of Labor conferences were held
between representatives of the ship
owners, coal owners, exporters and
merchants, the Transport Workers
Federation, the Transport and General
Workers Union and the National
Union of Railwaymen on the question
of speeding up coal cargoes on the
Tyne.
A settlement was reached after pro-
tracted negotiations under which coal
trimmers and teamers agreed to work
two hours day overtime on the sec.
ond shift, from Monday to Friday. in
elusive, as an experiment to last until
October 81. If it is shown that a third
shift is necessary another conference
will be held.
Under the terms of the agreement
the conference is to be reconvened the
first week in November to determine
the effect of the experiment. If the
employers hold at that time that a
third shift is necessary and the parties
are not able to agree, then the matter
is to be referred Immediately to tri-
bunal consisting of one person as chair
man, to to be nominated by the Min
lister OF Labor, one nominated by the
employers and one nominated by the
workmen. This committee is to have full
power to decide whether and where
the third shift is to be applied, and
what extra wages shall be paid.
Apart from the development on the
Tyne other ports are seeking to nat
the three shift plan into operation. Ne
gotlatlons were opened in Hull, but
without effect.

Shipping Is NoaV on UPGRADE
after 2 Years Of Depression
Freight Rates Are Back 10 the Pre-War Level;
Steamship Conferences Are Being Restored;
Government Decision Awaited by U. S. Lines
BY David S. Kennedy

or more favorable legislation is forth
coming, the American merchant ma
rine will inevitably fall back to its
pre-war status, when only per cent
of our foreign commerce was carried
in our own vessels The prospect at
present is that Congress will pass the
subsidy bill at a special session in No
vember. Steamship lines are making
tentative plans based upon this belief.
Improvement Noted
Recently there have been severas
straws indicating the direction of the
wind Grouped together they point to
a definite improvement in most in
stances.
The Department of Commerce esti-
mated that 100000 gross tons, out OF
total world feet of 56,00n,000 gross
tons, were idle in July. This was evi-
dence of extreme depression, but it
was also distinct upward trend over
the conditions prevailing on January l..
The American Steamship owners
Association announced that idle Amer
lean tonnage, privately owned, declined
from III ships of 100000 tons to 121
vessels of $4,000 tons during the first
six months of the year. The improve
ment was recorded almost entirely in
the intercoastal trade, where Amer
lean shipping is protected by law from
foreign competition.
Foreign Trade Advances
Foreign trade statistics, giving the
volume of cargoes available for ocean
vessels, show an appreciable advance
for the six months of 1922 over the
same period of 1921. While the in
crease was largely in import trade.
there was perceptible upward trend
in exports during the summer months.
The following table shows the trend
OF foreign commerce of the United
States:

OF one year or both IS provided for
each person violating the act, and 4
similar fine may be assessed against

Application for Loan

According to the Gothenburr "Han-

plication to the government for loan
OF 2.oo6,0o0 kronen, about $500o0o. out

the merchant marine,
The company claims credit for it's
efforts early in the war to extend the
country's shipping communications and
to support the shipyards Although
considerable profits were realized
during this period, these were said not
to be sufficient to cover the cost Of
new ships, especially since $4,000 900
kronen have been paid in taxes since
1914, The company has not received

New Fumigation Plan
On Ship Is Successful
Gas Destroys Vermin on S. S.
Cumberland in 2 Hrs; Conn
plies With Sanitation Law

1Ht UP5u1
LONDON, Sept. "A revolution in
ship fumigation methods is predicted
as the result of a successful experiment
with hydrocyanic gas on the steamship
Cumberland before clearing for New
York. The new method was used in
order to comply with the sanitary laws
controlling the entry of vessels into
United States ports.
Containers filled with the deadly gas
were placed in position and released
after all hands had quit the ship. When
the Cumberland was inspected two
hours later she was found to be as
clean as on her maiden trip, with all
rats, mosquitoes and other vermin de-
stroyed, while the ships fittings were
unaffected The new process can be
carried out with loaded or unloaded
craft.
