Coenties Slip, opposite the Seamen's
Church Institute-the largest sea-
mems institute in the world-and at
other important outdoor points where
seamen gather, show that the strike
call meets approval of the toilers OF
the sea. So do the mass meetings in
the M. T. WIS recently opened hall
at 40 Broad Corner South street
the pivotal point OF the waterfront.
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Dick Brazier
and other old-time "wobbly" speak
ers, and also men fresh from the ships
address these meetings.
Wage Raise.
As a direct outcome of this strike
shipowners have raised the scale of
wages on boats sailing out of New
York. The shipping board scale was
$67.50 for coal-burner firemen, $65 for
oil-burner flremen and $625O for sea-
men. The M. T. WIS 1923 strike
brought wages up to this scale, an all
around increase of $40 a month
Strike Demands.
Here are the strike demands, thou
sands of copies of which, in various
languages, are also being broadcast:
1. Fifteen dollars wage increase
for all licensed and unlicensed men
on all U. S. shipping board ships.
2. The American Steamship Own
ers' Association and private owners
to pay the same rate as the U. s. ship
ping board ships and this shall also
apply to all vessels Of foreign registry
signing articles in American ports.
There must be no difference in wage
scales.
3. That there be no overtime work
without pay. All overtime to be paid
at the rate Of 60 cents an hour for all
seagoing and coastwise vessels.
4. The eight-hour day as a max
imum for the marine industry with a
44-hour week in port.
5. Better food and living condi.
tons and that the ship furnish clean
bed linen once a week; towels and
soap to be furnished by the company.
6. That logging only be permitted
if member of the crew fails to turn
to for whole work day in port. The
same to be at the rate OF zone for
one"
7. That the delegates of the Marine
Transport Workers shall have access
to all ships and docks.
8. That all men shall be hired from
the Marine Transport Workers Union
Hall.
9. Abolition of the blacklist and
the deferred list system.
10. That the three-watch system be
enforced on all ships.
M. T. w. delegates are giving them
wide circulation in Philadelphia, Bal
timore and other Atlantic ports.
The organization, OF course, needs
funds to finance this strike. Printing
is one large item of expense. Il also
costs much to care for strikers,
pickets and others on the firing line.
All contributions should be address.

ON ARMAMENTS
IS IN SESSION
U. S. Suggests Plan of
Its DUN
Especial to The Daily Worker,

GENEVA, Switzerland, May 1S-The
Soviet Union is not represented here
at the arms conference, a fact which
makes impossible discussion of the
question of ornaments in Poland and
the border states, according to the
statements of the agents of the i'm.
perialist governments who are trying
to find some excuse for their inability
to do anything except select a few
committees to Survey" the arms ques-
ton and then adjourn in the hope that
the atmosphere will clear up a bit be-
fore the next assembly of the league
Of nations.
II the imperialist powers desired the
presence Of Russia's delegates they
would have held the meeting else
where than in Switzerland as they all
know very well that the Soviet Union
will not send its representatives into
a country where the government con
spires to murder them as is the case
in Switzerland, where a Swiss bour-
geois murdered M. Vorovsky, Soviet
representative at the Lausanne con-
ference in 1923.
U. s. Has Plan.
United States Representatives are
watching developments and are known
to have an elaborate plan perfected
by Wall Street loan mongers to in
duce Europe to reduce ornaments and
thereby be better able to pay interest
on American loans.
The United States seeks disarma-
ment thru a system of regional agree
ments rather than in a universal sys-
TEN aimed at abolishing armaments
all at once, Hugh Gibson, chairman
Of the American delegation, told the
league OF nations commission charged
with preparing future conference on
the reduction Of ornaments at the
opening meetings here today.

Wilson And Roosevelt Named As Lincoln Of Twentieth Century

While the nation 10 honorng tha memory of Abraham Lincoln today, the question which generally arises Is, Has America q twentieth Cen tury Lincoln ." According to the opinions Of New Britain men in all walks Of life, Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt had more ol the qualities Lincoln possessed than any other modern man.
 q believe that Woodrow Wilson is the modern Lincoln" declared Mayor Angelo M. Paonessa, Both Lincoln and Wilson were martyrs of the war, The greatest thing Wilson accomplished, in my opinion, was the perfecting Of the Federal Re serve system. It is q grea; blessing 10 the country.
 Instead o' having a surplus Of money in Washington we have money In Federal Reserve Banks throughout the country, where we little fellows can borrow, whenever we need it This, I think, will avert another panic such as we had in l966-1.
 'I believe the League oS Nations idea vas Il noteworthy move on Will sons part" he continued. "The League Of Nations and the present World Court are practically the same, with the exception that the League was q democratic move, and the World Court is a republican idea. They both embody Wilson ideals.
 "Ot course, I consider that Nc Kinley. Taft, Roosevelt and other presidents were great men" the mayor concluded, but l don't be- lieye any of them can approximate Wilson"
 When approached on the subject 0, Twentieth Century Lincoln, w. 0. Cook, scout executive for New Britain, leaned back in his swivel chair, and after a moments thought replied, q have a profound respect for Theodore Rooseyelt--his ideals | and convictions.
 "Despite the fact that he was crude at times, think he is oui l greatest American since Lincoln. II Roosevelt thought you a liar, nc wouldn't call you q preNaricator Even with that failing, l cant think I of any other man in his category.
 "I believe that at the proper time he sounded a war cry for the nadot for pure Americanism, and be- lieve he sounded the war cry at inc time when it was most needed.
 What do I think his greates' peace time measure? Preparedness preparedness in it's larger aspect not in arrnaments. but in the building UT of real manhood, I consider that nc 1 is the outstanding figure of thiS century He built up manhood by moral and physical training, not by calling out a group Of men 10 drill ! every day. He was the very instiga, | tor Of things morally and spiritually good"
 Roosevelt comes nearer 10 being the Lincoln Of the age, than any i ether man." said Rev. Theodore A
New Britain herald., 1926-02-12

Green, ot the Congregational church, "He had the vision ol what bughl 10 he, to make the world the best Of all places to live in. Snpremely, he had, and in this lies his strength, the ability 10 lead the masscs with him, and 10 put things in practical effect,
 Roosevelt lacked the third qual, fly which Lincoln possessed, He lacked the quality Of going to the heart Of things, and he was unable 10 analy2e as was Lincoln's custom. I should say the great need of the twentieth century is for 0 Lincoln"
 Chief Willlam'J Noble Of the fire department was hard to pin down long enough 10 get definite state ment, for he was constantly be" sieged by irtmon and others who lriftcd into the fire station.
 "I should say Wilson was the twentieth century Lincoln" he said. after finally beng cornero1, and in % years he will bc greater still. l think his League Of Nations plan q great stroke of statcsmuaship." And then the chief was gone again.
 T do not think that there Is q modern statesman who has the same impersonality that Abraham lin- coin possossed." declared Principal I.ouis r. Slade Of the Senior High school,
 He had several outstanding char acteristics, but his imperHonaity was his greatest" he continued. He always put Lincoln the man to one side. when Lincoln the president was called upon. I think, however, that in years to come Wilson will be rec" ognized as one of our greatest presi- dents, and probably Roosevelt and Cleveland will be recognized as men who have also accomplished great things"

SP|RE OF CHURCH
 MAY BE REMOVED
Engineers Report Findings to
 Inspector Hennessy

Although engineers who exam ined tho spire of sthe First Congre. gational church reported it to be in a safe condition, 1t is possible that the steeple will be removed.
 President C. J. Parker of the ec- cleslastIcal society said immediate removal wns not contemplated by the church in the event such re- moYal is not ordered. but it was intimnted that an order from tho building department will not be re. quired at a later date. There is re- ported 10 be sentiment among members Of the congregation tor removing the old wooden spire.
 Members of the city engineering staff who examined the steeple a, the request of Inspector Hennessy have filed the following report;
 Three members of the engineer ing department. al your request, accompanied you on an inspection trip 10 the steeple Of hte Center Congregational church. They report that the interior structure appears 10 be in very good condition. hay. ing been strongly built and well braced. but that some attention could well be paid to the repairing of the braces and clapboards Of the outer covering.
 "They state that the cables sup porting the clock counterweights sould be carefully inspected and means taken to avoid any accident which the breaking of these cables would cause by reason of location directly over the organ loft and main yestibule.
 The fnial on the top of the spire could not bo examined close ly, but through d transit it ap- pcars to lean to the southwest. Nothing Is known as to how the same is attached to the spire, This i'nial might require some closer attention when weather permits"
 Inspector Honnessy said today orders based on the engineers sug- Tnations will probably be issued at once.
