BATTLE ON SHIP
SUBSIDIES
LOOMS
Plan Of Shipping Board Head
for Bonus to Seamen Is
Seen as Opening

Another ship subsidy fight in
tia next Congress, comparable to
that which split parties in the clos
ing days of the Harding administers
ton. was seen here today in the
new plan for subsidization brought
forward by T. ". O'Connor, chair
man of the Shipping Board.
O'Connor proposes to sell the 500
cargo ships the Government now
has on its hands, and then to pay
American seamen who sail on them
in foreign trade a Treasury bonus
of $50 month.
This. O'Connor said, win fill two
needs in Americas merchant marine
policy-it will enable private Amer1'
can ship owners to compete with
foreign ship owners on wages, and
it will build up an American re-
serve of sea-faring men available
FOR navy duty in time Of war.
American ship ownens are now
at disadvantage with foreign com
petition because of the La Toilette
law which compels them to pay
higher wages to American seaInen
than are paid by foreign owners.
Seamen would enlist in the naval
reserves to entitle them to the
Treasury bonus.
The maximum cost under this
plan, O'Connor said, would be &c.
600, 900 q year to the government
which he believes is "a small price
TO pay for the upbuilding Of a strong
merchant marine and a strong
force Of naval reservists."
President Coolidge has not com
mitted himself either for or against
the plan. He is now studying it.
O'Connor is assured of considera,
BILE support for the plan in Congress
and also considerable opposition.

citation, wrathy at the implications
Of Rufus S. Lusk, secretary of the
fair wage committee, that they are
prepared to grant a wage increase
to union plumbers with more profits
in view, withheld reply.
May Discuss Answer
An answer probably will be dis.
cussed at a meeting Of leaders in
the plumbers organization tonight,
although the gathering was sum.
moned for another purpose.
The employing painters and the
painters union are more at logger
heads than ever, with a conference
on wages just out of reach. John
b. Colpoys, mediator for the De-
rartment of Labor, said today he
was unable to act until one side
showed some inclination toward a
conference.
It was suggested today that the
boss and journeymen painters each
appoint a committee and bring the
matter directly before Secretary OF
Labor Davis. This proposal, how
ever, has not been made formally.
white List" Campaign.
The white list committee OF
the Central Labor Union, which
plans a campaign to keep money
made by union men in shops favor
able to organized labor, last night
appointed business agents of all
local unions to the existing group.
Plans were so arranged that a
speaker will be available for every
union meeting for several weeks
to come. The total membership or
the committee is in excess OF sixty.

already in the woods, was needed
to track woodward.
Meanwhile, on the summit of
Cram mountain, Walter Chatterton,
father of the missing girl, sits
alone with gun across his knees de-
termined, he said, to kill Wood
ward, the young man he befriended,
on sight.
Traces Of Woodward have been
found in the wood but nothing of
the girl, supposed to be with MIN.
Some fear she is either murdered
or died of exposure.
Foot prints from an abandoned
school house on Cram mountain
were declared to be those of Wood
ward. They were followed and led
to tangled underbrush. 1t was here
the posses resumed their search to-
day.
The cadets in a drizzling rain,
rode off the parade grounds at
Norwich in relays of fifty troopers
each.
The first fifty men, in deploy-
ment, spread out fan shape fashion
at the foot of Cram mountain.
Leaving their horses at the base,
the cadets advanced in skirmish
order through the LIIlDeTldHu' IHcy
were supported by second fifty
men.
Meanwhile, another troop was
spread on the other side of the
mountain.
Every cadet is a crack shot and
an expert horseman. The entire
outfit carried ball cartridges for
their carbines. Some of the cadets
were equipped with the regulation
saber for use If close contact with
Woodward was obtained.
Both the cavalry and artillery
units at the university participated
! in the man hunt.

There should be a great sense Of
satisfaction, especially in the indus
trial field, that May Day" this
year presents no Industrial disputes
of serious concern m America.
While the Department OF Labor
has in hand for adjustment numer-
GUS trade disputes of more or less
importance to certain localities, the
Industrial relations situation is very
satisfactory as whole.
There appears to be a settled de-
termination upon the part of in
dustry generally to make the
present year a good business year.
1t is true that in one Of our great
basic MISUNDERSTANDING coal
ADMINISTRATIONS are not at all
what we wish. Overdevelopment in
this particular industry means over-
production. Under the natural
economic laws this condition results
in unstable employment and I'M
profitable business. However, the
prospects for an increasing volume
Of business generally point toward
a gradual Improvement in this
industry.
Building Trades.
In the building trades industry q
splendid constructive program is in
prospect which in volume promises
to equal if it does not slightly ex-
coed the vast amount OF construc-
ton of last year. One strong factor
favorable to a stabilized building
program this year and possibly for
1926 is the action taken in many
localities to make two or three-year
wage agreements instead Of one
year contracts.
The long-term agreement con-
tributes largely toward sterilization
through the elimination OF the
natural uncertainty growing out OF
the negotiations Of new wage con-
tracts each year. With the wage
agreements now practically settled,
many large building projects now
held up will go forward.
The prompt getting under way
of the big construction program, to-
gether with the movement OF the
spring crops should be reflected in
better business for the transporta-
ton system of the country.
With CHE bulk of labor satisfac-
torily employed under favorable
conditions at good wages, and the
financial and manufacturing inter
ests cooperating to increase the in
dustrial program, we can safely
anticipate a real healthy growth in
production and employment in the
country at large.
Viewpoint OF Workman.
The American workman is inter
ested vitality in the progress and
prosperity of the country. He is
entirely in accord with the policies
and principles upon which the
nation is established.
He realizes the fact that his well
fare is dependent upon profitable
and productive enterprise and he Is
sincerely cooperating with the en-
ployer in this endeavor. OF course
