 WASHINGTON, Dec. 1, - In all the hullabaloo over the mar inc labor unions blast at Joe Ken nedy, chairman of the maritime commission, for his tirade against poor discipline aboard ship, it is almost overlooked that American shipping is getting the worst pub lie sandbagging il has had in many day.
 The whole thing was set off by the uprising of the crew of the government-owned freighter Al gic" in Montivideo. In that South American port the crew for a time refused to handle the ships cargo on the grounds that it would be delivered to crew of strikebreakers hired during a Uruguayan longshoremen's strike.
 Kennedy who is no sweetie- pie executive, directed the ship captain to put the men in irons if they refused to work. It was a foreign port, and in such circum- stances, in Kennedy's view, a strike amounted to mutiny.
 Conduct Criticized

 Kennedy accompanied the home coming with a public criticism of the conduct of some American seanlen at sea. DiSobedience, in- discipline, lack of training, all contributed, he said, to very unsatisfactory pciture of the Yan kee sailor afloat.

coal operators and miners will resume
their wage and hour negotiations next

is reached before April ! or the pres

will strike.
Observers agree. however, that the
negotiations are proceeding normally.
The next agreement will be the fourth

The customary procedure Is for each

In q speech prepared for the annual

it is the independence Of the judi

their greatest virtue, which is at issue"
Describing as "our great traffic dis

valid extent of the national authority
to regulate commerce, Emery said if
the issue of national control over local

people give their deliberate answer"
But let us never, under any pretext

BY the Associated Press.


TUSKEGEE, Ala, February 90
DR.. F. D. Patterson, president Of
Tuskegee Institute, today credited o
80 per cent decrease in lynchings in
the United States since 1887 to
growth in the humanitarian atti-
tude of the American people"
A tabulation of lynchings by dec
ades, from the institutes department
of records and research, listed 1888
mob victims in the 1876 period,
and Isl in the 1926 period.
Each decade since the first revealed
a decline in mob action. Lynchings
totaled 1000 for the decade begin
ming in 1897; 670 for that beginning
in 1907, and 463 for the 1917-Is26
period.
DR.. Patterson listed three major
factors as contributing to the decline.
The first, he said, is the tendency for
frontier characteristics in the South
to disappear; second, the breaking
down of isolation in the South by in
creased communication facilities. and
third. increasing agitation within the
South against lynchings."
