obtaining the shipping code was ex-

Scott of New York, who for a short
time was an assistant deputy admins

affairs
Scott was formerly manager of the
Submarine Boat Corporation. which
until 1929 and 1890. he said, operated
about 80 freighters in intercoastal
service under the name of Transmarine
Line.
He argued that since the Government
has supplied major proportion of the
capital now invested in active American
shipping it should impose N. r. A. terms
on the industry by means of modif1ca-
ton of existing Shipping Conference
agreement. He criticised the N. r. A.
policy of waiting for the industry to
bring forward code proposals volun-
tarily.
One public hearing already has been
held on general shipping code, an
other on code to cover Great Lakes
shipping. Since then the major code
has been revised materially by the in
dustry and efforts are under way to
arrange for a new hearing in the i'm

Claude Babcock, president Of the Amer

ployes, has written to President RooSe-
welt protesting against placing in tenn
oorary status employees affected by these
moves.
Recalling that in previous shifts,
workers have been placed on tempo
rary basis until their employment
status was definitely established. Bab-
cock declared the only reason for such
action is to "evade" the Civil Service
regulations regarding separations.
Urges Workers Transfers.
1--WE respectfully petition that in future
orders transferring functions from one
to another agency, you also transfer the
necessary workers or that you transfer
all of the workers and give orders that
the unnecessary ones be eliminated in
accordance with the law" he said. This
simply means this reduction should
take place either before or after the
transfer but in accordance with the
law and not in evasion of the law.
For those workers who are now in
this anamolous temporary status, we
respectfully petition that they be re-
turned to permanent status and that
any reductions take place in compliance
with the law"
Says Panic Hurts Morale.

brought the terrors of uncertainty to

pay reductions and difficult working
conditions are not as conducive to low

that has developed probably would be a
surprise to him and said that an effort
had been made to adjust this matter
