Maritime Commission Plan
Gaining Favor With
House Group.
BY the Associated Press,

A Maritime Commission recon-
mendation which might send part OF
the proposed $137, ,000, 900 merchant
marine construction program to for
eign shipyards gained favor yesterday
in a House committee.
Seeking to encourage private in
vestment in the shipping industry, the
commission has advocated that con-
struction Of Government subsidized
vessels in foreign yards be permitted
when domestic building costs became
twice those abroad.
Representative Ramspeck of Georgia
second ranking Democrat on the COM
mittee, told Joseph P. Kennedy. COM
mission chairman, he favored the
proposition although it had been
omitted from a bill embodying other
recommendations of the commission
Chairman Bland of the Merchant Ma.
rine Committee said later 1t would be
incorporated in q new draft, together
with provisions for creation of q
mediation board to handle maritime
labor disputes.
Under the present ship-subsidy act
private shippers must build their ves-
sells in domestic yards to be eligible
for Federal subsidies. No subsidy can
exceed so per cent of the domestic
COST
Mr.. Kennedy told the committee
that, if shipowners did not undertake
their share of subsidized construction
within six months after the law wal
revised, there would be no alternative
except for the Government to build
the ships. He said IS ships were
needed now to replace obsolete craft

gates to the eleventh annual conven-
ton Of the Virginia intercollegiate
Press Association reassembled today to
hear addresses by John Dana Wise,
publisher Of the Richmond Times Dis
patch, and Col. Withers Burrus, COM
mandant Of Virginia Military Institute.
The visitors, representing 81 schools
in Virginia and the District of Column
bia, last night heard Drew Pearson,
Washington columnist, assert that
President Roosevelt's chief political
ambition" was to name his successor-a
man sure to carry out his ideals"
Pearson said Mr. Roosevelt has no
present ambition to run for a third
term, although 1t is conceivable that
he might be pushed into the nomina-
ton by a war"
The appearance of third party in
1910, said the oolumnist, depends on
two diametrically opposite political fac
tors"
The first Of these. he said, was the
conservative wing OF the Democratic
party led by such men as Sena tors
Byrd and Glass" and the other "the
progressive wing of both the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties led by
such men as La Toilette, La Guardia
and that heterogeneous category of in
dividuals generally labeled the New

NEW YORK, Dec. A story Of
. desperate operation at sea. with
ships officers pressed into service as

light yesterday with the docking Of

Antonio. Navy surgeons at Honolulu,
contacted by radio, diagnosed the
illness as mastoiditis and appendi-
citis
The freighter did not carry a sur
eeon and the President Hayes sailed
400 miles, far of her course, to the
Antonio's side. The semi-consctpus
Duffy was carried aboard the liner
September. 16.
Examination showed an immediate
operation was necessary, but DR.. F. p.
Hamilton, the liners surgeon, didn't
have the needed help.
He met the emergency by outfit
ting Capt. K. M. Graham, the chief
engineer. and the chief steward with
white gowns and surgical masks and
utilizing them for administering anes-
thetic and instrument handling. But
the effort was in vain; Duffy died two

The company statement, signed by

entered into contracts with the
respective American Federation of
Labor unions having jurisdiction over
its grocery managers, grocery clerks,

The contracts were executed pur-
aiant to the policy of the company in
negotiating contracts with its en-
ployes who vote for union afhliation.
Such a vote was held on November 20,
under the auspices of the Bureau Of
Cancellation, United States Depart
ment of Labor, in which the employees
in the foregoing classifications on the
company's pay roll November /, 1887,
voted.
Similar contracts have been entered
into covering the employees of the
company in Richmond, Va.
Before the poll was taken the terms
OF the contracts were agreed to both
by the employer and by the unions,
subject to the result of the vote for
all employees affected.
"All contracts are for period Of
nine months and have a clause pro-
viding for renewal from year to year
BY mutual consent. The contracts
provide for minimum wages and max
imum hours. All contain identical
machinery for the adjustment Of any
differences that may arise from any
cause whatsoever. They provide that
all regular employees shall become
members of the union having jurisdic-
tion over them, and that new employees
selected by the company shall become
union members"
Local employees voted 937 to 1913 for
the agreement. There were seven
votes thrown out for improper mark
ings, while 68 votes were protested. In
Richmond, lab employees voted for
the agreement and II against. Six
ballots were thrown out.
