SENATORS CRITICAL Hitchcock Characterizes Ambassa dor's Utterances as . "Dis creditable Performance." I i ft s; i LOXDOX. May 20. Newspapers of this city featured this morning the address made last night by George Harvey, the United States ambassa dor to Great Britain, at a dinner given by the Pilgrims. Announcement was made by Mr. Harvey that he had been directed by the state department in Washington to represent America at the proposed meeting of the supreme council, at which the Silesian ques tion is to be considered, and he de clared that the United States under no possible circumstances would be led into participation in the league of nations. Only two or thrrj newspapers com mented editorially upon the ambas sador's speech, apparently because of the late hour at which Mr. Harvey spoke. These journals cordially wel comed the ambassador's expressions of friendship and his frankness and commended his address in general. The Evening Standard, comment ing tonight, says that the decision of the United States not to have any thing to do with the league of na tions obviously most seriously affects the league's position. The newspaper says it doubts whether without the United States the league can con tinue, which it regrets, declaring the league might conceivably have ful filled its functions had all (he great powers energetically worked to per fect it. "Without that backing-." the Stand ara says, "it must tend to. become a useless and expensive nay, positive ly a dangerous sham. Meanwhile, says the newspaper, "It is our duty to make efforts to strengthen our understanding with the United States, while accepting the limits within which that under standing is possible." speech: evokes criticism American Senator Declares Har vey's Statements Conflict.

"Colonel Harvey's description of an Anglo-American alliance in the vision of Britannia and Columbia hand-in-hand for mutual benefit hardly ex presses the aspirations of the Ameri can people," he asserted. senator McKellar. democrat, Ten nessee, charged Mr. Harvey with h lng made "remarkably conflicting statements'- in declaring that this na tion would not have anything to do with the league of nations or its com-'-missions while announcing that he would represent this government in consideration of the Silesia question." "The supreme council," said Sen ator McKellar, "is acting for It (the league of nations) and appointed by it." Apparently some of those at the dinner did not pay much attention to Mr. Harvey's declarations, he added, and quoted from the address of Pre mier Lloyd George congratulating America on "coming" to the European councils.

The plaintiff, says the complaint gave preference in the operation of its vessels to native-born Americans or citizens of the United States and that the defendant sailors' union of the Pacific is composed largely of aliens and naturalized citizens of the United States and that the union has in effect a "list" system whereby the plaintiff Is precluded from giving em ployment to native-born American citizens until after aliens who are members of the union and who have precedence on the list shall have been employed. 1 The defendant, the Marine Firemen Oilers' and Water-tenders' union of the Pacific, is said to have refused appli cations for membership during the past year, with the result that many qualified citizens of the United States and many persons who were in the military and naval service of the United States during the war with Germany are and have been unable to obtain membership in the union. The plaintiff, through the Columbia Pacific Shipping company as manag ing agent, is said to operate five steamers which carry mall regularly to ports in Asia. One of these liners now in the harbor is the West Nivaria and upwards of 700 sacks of mail -are declared to be in the hold of the ves sel awaiting dispatch, while at the local postoffice there are said to be more than 100 sacks of registered mail waiting to be carried by, the steamer to Asia. The vessel was due to sail May 16 and her crew was com plete with the exception of licensed engineering officers and was pre vented from sailing only because such officers were members of the defen dant marine engineers and the offi cials of that organization are declared to have ordered licensed engineering officers not to accept employment on the ships of the plaintiff and partlcu larly tHe West Nivaria, and they in duced and persuaded certain licensed engineering officers willing to work on said ship to remain away and not to take employment thereon in viola tion of section 201 of the penal code. Pickets Held Impudent. It is held in the complaint that the defendants pickets are discourteous, arrogant and impudent and are delib erately attempting, upon instructions of the defendants, to destroy the mer- S. & H. green stamps for cash.

A telegram from Admiral Benson, chairman of the shipping board, re ceived late yesterday at the shipping board's local office, reads as follows: "Concerning the marine wage con troversy the shipping board calls to the attention of the. men again that Its extremely Just and reasonable position as stated at the conference on April 27 was a purely compromise measure. It was taken only after the most careful study and with a genu ine desire to deal Justly and to give the men the benefit of any doubt, the original proposition having involved much greater wage cuts and working conditions less favorable to the men. It points out that the. compromise wage scale now in effect Is the max imum Bcale at which it can operate ships and that any talk o a further compromise is idle. "The results which have been ob tained In keeping in operation prafc tically a normal number of ships dem onstrates that a great percentage of th men realize the fairness of the position of the shipping board in agreeing to only such wage reduc tions and other changes as were abso lutely imperative under the new eco. nomic conditions.
