TOWBOAT OWNERS
DEFY CAPT. MAHER
Threaten to Throw Him OFF
Wage Board Unless Agree
ment Is Signed.

Licensed and unlicensed men employed
on harbor craft will hold mass meet
ing Tomorrow in an effort to line UP
opposition to the reduction In pay estab-
hshed by members Of the New York
sTowboat Exchange. Capt. William A
Maher of the United Association of Mas
sers. Mates and Pilots, Inc, is directing
The rally.
Capt. Arthur Olson OF the Harbor
Boatmen's Upion, representing the un-
licensed men, said his organization
would take no action In the matter until
after the mass meeting. He indicated
that the unlicensed men were prepared
70 cooperate with the masters. Boatmen
considered the wage cut last night at 3
Hamilton avenue, Brooklyn.
Capt. Maher said that a few men had
quit tugs operated by members of the
Towboat Exchange. Charles A. Mason,
manager of the exchange, asserted that
all boats in the harbor were operating
and no complaints had been received at
his office, IL Moore street.
At meeting of the New York Tow
boat Exchange which was attended by
nfty-four private owners and employers
A resolution was adopted that unless the
three representatives OF the masters,
mates and pilots sign the 1922 wage
award by January 10 they will be dis
charged from the New York Harbor
Arbitration Board and their places filled
oy three representatives of bona fide
employees captains In the employ OF pri-
vate vessel owners"
The charge was made that Capt
Maher and the other representatives OF
The United Association had lightly
thrown aside" an arbitration award.
To tGis Capt. Malier replied t.,at the
new wage schedule enbodyfng a 90 per
cent. reduction had been prepared with
out his knowledge and that he had been
told To Sign on the dotted line" That
was not arbitration, he said.
At the offices OF the United Associa-
ton of Masters. Mates and Pilots Loca.
No. 1, Front street, it was said the
local mad nothing 20 do with the action
of Capt. Maher
1--WE would like to make It clear"
declared one OF the officials of the as
sociation, that our organization is in
no way connected with that OF which
Capt Maher is the head. Our associa-
tion is a local of a national association
Of $4,000 members, and az a meeting
held in November of 1920 Capt. Mahei
was debarred from our association or
certain grounds and caused a secession
movement which has resulted in the
rganization he now represents.
Our body Is thirty-eight years old
and there is now a suit pending against
Capt. Maher over the use Of the
name of. the association. The official
title of Capt. Maher's organization Is
United Association Of Masters. Mates
and Pilots, Inc..' and causes great con.
fusion because of its similarity to our
name"

were brought under the Sherman Anti
Trust law, and not under the Federal
Trade Commission act. as was the Beech
Nut case, settled, the court stated to-
day. that i'm prosecutions urder the
Sherman act n trader is not guilty of
violating it's terms who simply refuses
TO sell to others. and he may withhold
his goods from those who will not se'
them at the prices which he fixes for
their resale"
''He may not go beyond the
by contract or combination, express or
implied. unduy hinder or obstruct the
free and natural flow of commerce in
the channels Of interstate trade"
In the Beech Nut case the court
stated that "the facts found show that
the Beech Nut system goes far beyond
the simple refusal TO sell goods to per-
sons who will not sell at stated prices.
which. IN the Colgate case, was held to
be within the legal right of the pro-
ducer." The Sherman act was not In
volved except as "a declaration of pub
