SELLING THE. SHIPS

The plan of the |. S. Shipping 5oard to sell the finest of liners operating under the aeeis of the government is now thoroughly un- der way. The ekids have been greas- ed and the launching will be one of the ships ploughing into the sea of private operation.
 Greasing the skids for the event I. not entirely meta aphorically speak ing, nor Is it hyperbole. The ship sales committee Of the board had come 10 an unanimous verdict. This verdict was possible only through the accession Of two new members to the board-Rear-Adm dmiral Hutch I. Cone and Samuel $. Sandberg. These gentlemen were outspoken advocates Of getting rid of the ships before they were appointed to the board; that, indeed, is why they were appointed to succeed Admiral w. $. Benson and P s. Teller, who had been at odds with the admins traitor plan 10 sell the ships. The plan was simple: Replace those on the board opposing the sale Of the ships with men who favored their sale. And thus We have what we shavc. Chairman O'Connor, who con- sistently has favored selling the ships, is the other member Of the ship sales committee. The plan. therefore is unanimous for their sale.
 The plan to sell the ships was re- fcrred to ths committee only last week. It took the committee less The decision was certain without going through the formality of de- batting the matter. The minds of the committee were made up The only item that needs particular attention is the plan of procedure-how to sell them for the best possible price; ; and maybe even that will not be much to worry ahout.

THE SALARY SITUATION

As We get it, if the Common Coun- cil and the respective boards do not concur about certain salaries the would-be recipiegts of the emolu- ments do not get any.
 Which is to say, If the Common Council ard the boards for various reasons. political and otherwise, can not agree, the unfortunate gentle men hired by the city can whistle for their money. Go to court. maybe, and let tho judge decide what their services are reasonably worth.
 To anybody but lawyer, court action over salaries makes no instant appeal. It is an uncertain and eX- pensive manner of settling a dispute which can be settled less expensive ly and expeditiouely in more ac- ceptable manner.
 In other words, the city hall boys need only to quit playing ping pong and come down to earth regarding elemental civic management.
