CREWS QUIT SHIPS
HIT BY DRY RULE
British Line Makes Bermuda
Dumping Port for Liquor
Supplies.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. June 16.-With the
announcement today that Bermuda
would be made a parking station by
Lamport and Holt liners plying be-
tween New York and Buenos Aires.
rumors were revived that British and
French transatlantic liners might use
a Canadian port of call as a liquor
depot =...-t.
Halifax was mentioned in connec-
! tfor.with the British liners and It
was stated that French liners plying
between Havre and New York might
drop and take liquor by tender at
one of the French islands off New
foundland. Steamship officials could
not be found at their Offices to COM
ment on the reports.
Take First Step.
THE Lamport & Holt Lines action
in making Bermuda a liquor station
was the first step taken by a for
eign steamship line to slack pas
sengers' thirts since the latest Treas
ury Department ruling. The plan
becomes effective July IA.
Some members of the crews of the
Homeric and Carmania. which sailed
for England today, declared they
would not return If they had to work
on ships affected by the dry ruling.
Officers said forty sailors of the Ho-
meric and three coal passers on the
Carmania had deserted.
Desertions Reported.
Desertions from the crew of the
Celtic also were reported. an official
of the White Star Line attributing
the situation to the fact that land
jobs were paying better wages than
the steamship companies. Coal burn
ing ships were affected more by the
desertion than oil burning vessels, it
was said. because of the easier work
on oil burners.
The Holland American liner Rot
terdam. the crew of which also had
been crippled by desertions, got away
on schedule today after the chief OFF,
Ger had succeeded in rounding up a
full complement last night. Tales of
high wages in factories of the middle
west, spread along the waterfront by
agents of industrial plants, the line S
officials said, were held responsible.
