DAVIS NOW HAS PROBLEM Situation Is Declared to Look w. Hopeful Now. MOST CRAFT MOVING Id Some .Difficulty Experienced -civ York and Galveston Ap pears to Be Tied Up. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 3. Re opening1 of negotiations between the shipping board and steamship owners and marine workers in an effort to settle the wage dispute which threat ens to tie up American shipping was indicated today as probable by Chair man Benson, who announced a con ference might be held here tomorrow. Negotiations to draft an agreement covering wages and working condi tions ended Friday with the refusal of the men to accept a 13 per cent wage cut, later made effective by the hoard. The men carried their case to Presi dent Harding, who turned the matters over to Secretaries Davis and Hoover. The latter have since held conferences with union leaders. Problem In Davis Hands. Since yesterday, Chairman Benson said, the problem has been in the hands of Secretary Davis. He- added hat the situation looked hopeful. Dis :ussing the possibility of a conference omorrow, he said a committee of shipowners was coming here, but all the parties to suchs conference might not be here by tomorrow. Ileports of the shipping board today. officials said indicated that as far as ship movement was concerned, the ituation was generally satisfactory. In New York, however, officials said, some difficulty was being expe- ienctd, as strikers -were picketing ha board's recruiting offices, and in Baltimore the situation seemed rath er unsatisfactory. Galveston Is Tied t'p. In Boston, Norfolk, Savannah and Charleston, it was said, reports indi- ated there would be no difficulty In moving vessels, Galveston appeareu o be tied up, but in New Orleans the situation was good. On the Pacific coast, officials said, reports showed little difficulties were elng experienced at Seattle, Port- and or San Francisco. While Secretary Davis declined to say whether eriorts would be made to persuade Admiral Benson to recede from his announced stand for a 15 per esnt wage reduction, representatives of the marine engineers declared,' after a conference with the labor secretary, that "pressure by govern ment officials would force Benson to isten to reason." Rules Reported Approved. Working rules proposed by Secre tary Davis were said to have met the pproval of union officials, who, head d by T. B. Healy, representing the marine engineers of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, conferred with him oday. The union heads will meet gain with Secretary Davis tomor row. At the cabinet meeting today the ecretary was understood to have said hat the situation looked hopeful. Possible use of naval reserves to man shipping board vessels was said representatives of the engineers be highly satisfactory to them, as most of them are naval reservists. Bcnsoa Discusses Claims, Discussing claims by the men that the board's 13 per cent wage cut mounted to a reduction of from to &0 per cent. Chairman Benson eclared that the difference was gured through the loss of what he described, as "overtime graft." Overtime has been adniitted'by the en to be graft to a great exten; he said, and by cutting out this prac ce Jhe board can effect a great saving.

After a dy of riots and anxiety in the marine workers' strike, uniformed men of the Baltimore police force tonight were on board nearly all ocean-going ves sels in the harbor to prevent further outbreaks and all available reserves were concentrated in the waterfront districts. Shipping wis at a standstill except for bay traffic. Shipping board offi cials and private operators struggled all day in efforts to obtain crews, but with little success. Strikers raided the cattle ship West ern King. They boarded the sh'p from launches" and compelled all but seven of the 50 men, mostly negroes, who composed the crew, to abandon the ship. Later they went back and carried off three others, leaving only four men in .the crew to care for the 455 head of cattle aboard. Arriving at the foot of Broadway with their first boatloads of "re cruits'" the strikers met a large crowd and a demonstration against the negroes occurred. Three negroes were badly injured.

Retrial of Henry Albers, rich Port land (Or.) .miller, whose conviction under the espionage act was set aside by the United States supreme court a few days ago on the technicality that the lower court erred in refusing to admit a duly interposed demurrer, will be ordered at once, the solicitor general announced today. Senator McNary was requested by the Oregon State Bar association in telegram received today to go be fore the supreme court and move for a stay of the proceedings in the re cent order of the court reversing the conviction of Albers, The bar associ ation protested against the action of the department of Justice in confess ing error in the trial of Mr. Albers. which resulted last week in the su preme court remanding the case to the court at Portland and asked that the association be granted the privi lege of appearing at a hearing of the case on its merits. After talking with the solicitor general, Senator McNary sent a reply to the bar association, in which he said' the solicitor iad stated that in dictment was based upon the amend ed espionage act and that a record presented an error in the admission of evidence in the trial of the case. He added that the policy of the de partment of justice was not "to Im pose upon the court cases, in Its judg ment, subject to reversal. TELEGRAMS ARE RECEIVED .-enator McNary Declares New Trial Has Been Promised. Rehearing of the Albers case was forecast yesterday by Senator Mc Nary in a telegram to Harrison G. Piatt, president of the Oregon State Bar association. In reply to a mes- sage sent yesterday again urging that the way be opened for a new trial for the wealthy' miller whose conviction under the espionage act seemed to be nullified by decision of the attorney-general. Senator McNary s telegram was as follows: ' Harrison G. Piatt. President Oregon Bar .Association. Portland, Or.: Discussed to day with solicitor in the department of justice your request for stay of proceed ings In Albers case. Solicitor stated In dictment based upon amended espionage act and that record presented error In the admission of the evidence In the trial of he case, and that policy of department of justice was not to Impose on the court cases In its Judgment subject to reversal Folicitor stated that new trial upon legal evidence would be immediately had. Does tbis situation meet your request? This was in response to a telegram sent earlier in the day by Mr. Piatt, as follows: "I Will Be Swamped With Unnec essary Correspondence" la Declaration or Official. THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington. D. C, May 3-VIco-rrcsident Coolldgc said this afternoon that he was planning a trip to Port land, Or., in June, but expressed re gret that the news of his proposed trip had leaked out after today's cabinet meeting. "I had intended to say nothing about my plans for the present," said the vice-president, "because any an nouncement of my plans to go west means that I will be swamped at once with unnecessary correspon dence. It is not my intention to make a general western trip, but to go straight to Portland and return, after a short visit, by the most direct route. "Ever since last July I have been urged by friends in Portland to pay jhem a visit and I am anxious to do it, but the stay necessarily must be brief, if 1 go, because congress will be in session at that time and I can not be away for long. I have a very dear friend in Portland, Ernest W. Hardy, who practiced law for years in Northampton, and then there is my friend Judge McCamant, besides others who have been inviting me to visit them." The vice-president has not forgot- tei5 that it was the Oregon delega tion which placed his name before the convention at Chicago. He did not appear to know that it was the president who had mentioned the pro posed trip to Portland today and thereby aroused widespread interest in the western journey. Mrs. Coolidge will accompany the vice-president. IRKED BY TILTS Judge Wescott Denies Helping Defense. LIE PASSED TO ANSELL Sharp Question of Veracity Raised at Hearing.

United States Attorney Humphreys received no advices yesterday in re gard to the Albers decision. "I will try Albers over again unless the department tells me not to," he said. "I am perfectly willing to try him without using as evidence the statements of Albers prior to April, 1917, which caused the failure of the recent conviction by ruling of the de partment. I believe our case would be sufficiently strong without that " "I am not at all in sympathy with the doctrine that everything ought to be forgotten now that the war is over and we are returning to pecre.

Judge Wescott said he wanted to reiterate in Ansell's presence "and In his very teeth" that tho latter knew when he testified that state ments concerning him were untrue.

But all doubt as to personal rela tions between the two was cleared later by Mr. Ansell, who said he had refused to see Judge Vrecott with Gibboney some time ago, and never would meet him again.
