 Frederick l. Thompson, commis- sioner of the United States shipping board, made public this afternoon copy of a telegram he had addressed to Horace Turner chairman of the Marine Employers association at Mo bile, with respect to Issue raised in connection with the loading of yes sels at the port of Mobile.
 The telegram follows:
 Receipt acknowledged your tele- gram dated November 1 which states is reply my wire October 30 No telegram from me such date. Tele- graph contents or correct advices. Do not believe your statement that any one has been led to believe. as stated in your telegram, that I will compel any action except such action as will insure no interruption of proper, prompt and economical dispatch of vessels of the United States shipping board operating from the port of Mobile and do not believe that anyone seeking to place me in any other po- sition as stated in your telegram eX- cept, perhaps, those more concerned in individual interest than wider public interest.
 Seeks Continued Operation.
 "Whatever will keep ships moving may be your concern with respect to efforts to control labor situation at MOD1le. My COHCeIu IS pl III the preservation of the continued op eration from the port of Mobile. In this connection, am in receipt of what purports to be copy of telegram forwarded by you to Vice Chairman O'Connor with copies to various ma rine associations and to the President of the United States, but such copy is not complete copy, as the telegram to the President, which was without the identity of signature of office for warding same, seeks to place Vice Chairman O'Connor in improper po- sition and inferentially imputes course of conduct not remotely jus tified.
 Unwgrranted Action Regretted.
 Greatly regret this most unhappy and Inwarranted action by any indf- vidual or association at Mobile, calcu- lated to nullify my efforts to- advance shipping from the port of Mobile Vice Chairman O'Connor has been eX- tremely helpful and think l am in po- sition to know rather than those who may not be in such position. It was through his helpful influence that last year a wage differential in Ia vor of Mobile was recognized and established. although for years there had been no sdifferentiap in favor or Mobile. Whatever action may or may not be taken it will have as it's pri- mary purpose the continuance and extension of United States shipping board operation from the port of Mobile"
