Freedom Of Seas
Historic Policy,
President Soys

WASHINGTON, May 1e-(R)
President Roosevelt injected to-
day into q discussion of Ger
many's declaration that the Red
Sea will b . danger zone for
foreign ships . pointed reminder
that twice before in history the
United States had used her war
ships to protect her commerce
and obtain freedom Of tn seas.
He mentioned TIN action Of
the new American republic
against the Barbary Pirates IN
the Mediterranean century ago
and naval sction - well
against privateers In the Carib-
bean.
But when reporters inquired
at a press conference whether
he thought there were "any
modern counterparts OF thu
Barbary Pirates" he told them

was an historic American policy
but he did not indicate just
what the United States might
be prepared to do about the
Red Sea.
The President, in citing cases
in history, said he was merely
providing a lead for newsmen to
follow up.
The Red Sea once was closed
to American shipping by desig-

Germany subsequently de-
clared the waters forming the
approach to the canal to be In

Replying to q question wheth-
er he recognized this action of
the German government, Mr..
Roosevelt said he thought things
like that represented almost en-
tirely question of fact.
The question Of whether q
blockade exists, he thus indicat-
ed, depends largely on whether
q declared blockade Is effec-

Back more than q hundred

there arose q question of the

WASHINGTON, May 16-(R
The General Motors corpora
ton averted q strike in 60 of its
plants today by accepting . de-
tense mediation board proposal
which involved an estimated
$50,000.000 yearly increase In
wages. & ~
The agreement provided for .
one-year contract between the
company and the CLOS United
Automobile Workers granting q
10-cent-an hour wage increase,
but providing for no closed shop,
union shop or maintenance OF
membership shop.
The motor company, whose
farflung plants hold approxi-
mately 1850, 100000 in defense
contracts, accepted the agree
ment a few hours before the
4:10 q. m. deadline fixed by the
board.
The union had agreed to defer
the strike until the deadline, but
approximately $1,000 workers In
Ave Michigan plants of the COM
pany walked out yesterday. Of
ficials attributed the walkout to
q misunderstanding of the "a
hour strike postponement agreed
on early Thursday.
MUST BE RATIFIED
The agreement had been ac-
cepted previously by the union
spokesman, but the contract still
needs ratification by the union
membership.
Walter p. Reuther, youthful
director of the UAW-CIO in
General Motors plants. said that
It would be submitted to local
unions within q few days and
expressed confidence that 1t
would be adopted.
The controversy started some
months ago when the union
presented demands for changes
In the contract it held with the
corporation. The pact, In effect
since 1887, provided that 1t could
be terminated by either party on
90 days notice. provision
omitted from the new contract.

Mayor, the defeat of Mr. Hahn was
as unmerited as it was unexpected
He has been a good and faithful
official, receiving no salary, and
yet keeping his eye on the needs
Of the city. At any rate, he re-
tires with the respect Of all citi-
Zens.
The new mayor, Mr.. Delamarter
who, with the COuncilmen has al
ready taken the oath of office, is
gentleman of strong intelligence
and sound common sense. He has
been thoroughly cOnversant with
the needs of the city, and will
leave no stone unturned to con-
tinue the improvements inaugural
ed by Mayor Hahn. That the new
Mayor is popular cannot be doubt
ed, when his success at the polls
is considered; for to have defeat
ed Mr.. Hahn was no easy task. We
expect great things from our new
Mayor. and have no hesitation in
saying that we believe that we
shall not be disappointed.
Some of our municipal officers
don't seem to like the letters pub
lished relative to bad streets and
excessive taxation. Well, they
have the same privilege as the
correspondent. They can also
have their say, if they like. There
is no doubt that not sufficient care
is shown in some respects in man

A snnci9l correspondent of a
Harrisburg paper, dated April l.
1888. wrote the following from here
regarding an election held in the
city: The result of the municipal
election here on Monday was
great surprise, and the Democrats
haven't begun to recover from their
establishment. They were quite
sure that Mayor Hahn, their can
didate, would be chosen. and con
sequently when it was announced
that the city had elected a Repub-
liCan Mayor. Lewis Delamarter.
by the astonishingly large major
ity of 222, their Indignation and
chagrin knew no bounds. The
friends of Mayor Hahn do not hes
itate to say that he was treacher-
ously dealt with, and that men
who promised to work and vote
for him went over to the enemy.
The arguments used against Mr..
Hahn were unlimited, unCalled for
and unfOunded. Some said they
could not vote for him because he
had taxed dogs and carts; because
he favored the high license scheme
and appointed commissioners who
we're not popular. There is every
reason to believe that the liquor
men were the most determined
and powerful opponents of Mr.
Hahn. although their antagOnism
was undeserved. Some of them
said he had increased the liquor
license; but that was not true,
since it would have been done had
he opposed it. 1t is thought, too,
that the knights of Labor went
against Mr. Hahn. Because of the
tax on carts and perhaps the cru
SADIE he made against the dogs, the
poor people Cor some of them at
least) got the idea that he was
not favorable to them, and voted
against him. All in all, leaving
out any consideration of the new
