He said it was the intention of the

Capt. Macauley emphasized the
heroic role merchant marine seamen

world, and said they were not shrink

ships torpedoed from under them.
Asked what was the reaction of sea-
ment to tsrpedoing. he said:
That question is best answered by
the men themselves Hundreds have
been asked it when they were wet and
cold from long exposure in lifebOatS
asked it when they lay wounded and
burned in hospital beds. Almost invari-
ably their reply is Ship out again.
I'm my opinion, these words deserve

Better Conditions
Are Won THROUGH
Recent Roll Strike

New York City GLNS) The Inter-
national Transport Workers Fedora
ton reports from Buenos Aires that
the recent Argentine railwaymen's
strike has resulted in the abolishment
of the odious wage retentiOns prOvi-
sions which have been in force since
1881.
A presidential decree which pro-
claims these changes, authorizes 3
per cent increase of passenger railway
fares and a 10 per cent increase for
freight. The raise is limited to one year
professionally and is expected to more
than meet the additional costs. All
amounts in excess of increased costs
will go to the railway pensions fund
which, due to the heavy eXigencies of
the past 10 years, finds itself in pre-
carious financial condition.
The railwaymen's and locomotive
engineers unions of Argentine original
ly demanded a 20 per cent increase on
all salaries up TO 100 pesos Il month,
IL per cent for salaries between 16O
and $50 pesos, and 10 per cent in
