AS a last resort, the recovery

"Should federal highway funds

johnson believes it shouldn't.
President Roosevelt's ruling will

DOLLAR LINER OFFICIALS SAY
ACCUSATIONS CAREY AT FAULT
i'm RESCUE WORK ARE ABSURD
Skipper Declared Gearing
Of Ship Inadequate for
Quick Maneuvers in Nor
no Castle Hearing
By H. ALLEN SMITH

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. l4.--(UP).
Bluff Capt. Robert E. Carey, skip
per of the Dollar lines President
Cleveland, was accused yesterday
by four of his under officers of in
competency in the emergency
which arose at dawn last Satur-
day when he took his ship to the
side of the flaming MORO Castle
off the Jersey coast.
The chief officer and the first,
second and third officers of the
President Cleveland testified be-
fore the governments board of in
curry that they would never again
sail under Captain Carey because
of the manner in which he be-
haved at the scene of the great
sea tragedy.
Forty eight minutes elapsed
from the time the President Cleve-
land reached the Moro Castle I'M
til the first life boat was lowered,
the secondary officers said. and
none Of them could offer an ex-
PLANTATION why the order to lower
was not given Immediately upon
arrival at the scene.
This procession of condemnatory
witnesses was interrupted only by
Sidney +. Curtis, a seaman on the
President Cleveland, who in turn
criticized the conduct of Chief Of
ficer Henderson.
"My officer" said Curtis, "could
have offered to take some surviv-
ors off the Moro Castle, even
though We could not see anyone
but the officers who were sticking
by their ship. Men in another life
boat asked us if we were going to
take more people off and my Of
ficer didn't reply"
Officials of the Dollar Line
came to Captain Carey's defense
and branded yesterdays testimony
as absurd" The Dollar Line, they
said, has the utmost confidence in
the President Cleveland's skipper,
who has been with the company
for Is or 20 years.
Captain Carey himself preceded
his under officers in the witness
chair but his testimony was brief
and routine.
When asked the reason for the
delay in lowerino boats, Captain
Carey said:
Because the Cleveland is a
slow ship in backing up and be-
cause as you know her gear is not
up to date"
Two boats were finally put out
from the Cleveland but no one
was rescued. The boats circled the
ship but found no one in the
water.

The restraining order secured to-

of the State Federation of Labor,
declared last night.
The order, granted by Judge f.

Lawrence said the injunction
does not forbid peaceful picket

activity of the flying squadrons.
The injunction was no doubt in

from forcibly closing a plant,
Lawrence observed.
Meanwhile, it was estimated
here that in North Carolina 6l,-

mills.
In North Carolina, it was esti-

Hosiery workers joined the

mills were closed. Accurate fig
